The first time I heard this song was about 3 weeks after my beautiful daughter died of a drug overdose. Coldplay was on the "Today Show", and I was just going back to work that week, and had the T.V. on in the background. Still overcome with shock and grief, for some reason, when I heard this song, I thought "Oh my God... this is about her..". I started crying uncontrollably, because the words sounded so much as if it was written for my girl. I could not listen to music for the past year and a half because something always reminds me of her. But it's so weird that wherever I go, some store, restaurant, whatever... this song comes on almost ALWAYS. I think it's my daughter's way of telling me "Yes, Mommy, I am in PARADISE". At least that is how I interpret this. God Bless you, Chris Martin, for writing this song for my baby..
Yes, it was, and is incredibly hard to go through life as a bereaved parent. I am trying in every way possible to help myself, and my surviving daughter, get through this. You are never the same after losing a child. This song invariably comes on whenever I least expect it, and that gives me some kind of comfort that she is indeed in Paradise. Thank you for your kind words!

I made an account just to reply to this comment. I hope you still check this site. That touched my heart and gave me a stronger belief in the Lord. I am so thankful that your daughter is able to reach you through a song that is so powerful in meaning and that you are capable of knowing it is her telling you that she is safe and happy now. She has found her paradise. I wish you the best.

@nicmela I'm sorry for your enormous loss. I can sympathize, because I'm also a bereaved mother. I think our children send us tiny signs all the time. Like a song, or a cardinal, or even the feeling that they're with us...a psychic told me that a deceased child's spirit will stay with their parents until they cross over to join them. I pray your broken heart finds some small measure of peace at some point in your life. One thing that helped me when my Allie passed away, was to imagine what she'd say to me about all the guilt...

One thing that helped me when my Allie passed away, was to imagine what she'd say to me about all the guilt I felt for not being able to save her, and any mistakes I made raising her. And I imagined what I'd tell my mother if I were to go first. What words of encouragement and love would I want her to know? I didn't know your daughter, but the fact that you hear this song all the time, I believe that's her telling you, that she's at peace in paradise now... that whatever broke her enough to cause her to use drugs is now healed. And there are no more tears or stormy skies and that she no longer has to dream of paradise, she resides in paradise. A place made of her most beautiful dreams, a place where whatever was so heavy on her heart here on earth, no longer prevents her from taking flight. And there is no need to run away, for there isn't anything to run away from. And that she'd like for you to dream of paradise, just as she did, until paradise becomes your reality and the two of you can be reunited forevermore in paradise! God bless you and your family, you're in my prayers.
