Day 20

A band that you immediately liked and the song that made you like them.

Music snobs everywhere, say what you will, but I completely and absolutely adore Coldplay. Not only do I think Chris Martin and his bevy of bandmates are genius musically, but lyrically they are phenomenol as well. The first time I heard Coldplay was when I was watching MTV2 (where they actually play music videos) and the video for "Yellow" came on. As soon as the video was over I thought I was in love. Not only did Chris Martin have one of the most beautiful male voices I had heard but the music and lyrics were perfect.  As time has passed, and more music has come out from them my love for Coldplay has only been solidified. Their music tells tales of heartbreak, love, hope, desire, and everything in between. I have a lot of friends who knock them for "sounding too much like U2" or "copying the ways of Radiohead", but I really could care less. To me, their music is about the message and the feelings that the music creates inside of you. I can relate many Coldplay songs to many events and emotions throughout my teenage, and now adult years, and not everyone has the opprotunity to feel that connection with music that they love.
