Speed of Sound

Heyy folks,
its time for our song of the day...its called "Speed of Sound" by my all time Favourit band..Coldplay..is a british band (proof enough that british things got charm,eh?)....consisting of four major players...Chris Martin(lead vocals,piano,guitar),Jonny Buckland(lead guitar),Guy Berryman(bass guitar) and Will Champion(drums,backing vocals,multi-instruments). The song has amazing piano and guitar notes and falls on a sweet lonenly note with the lyrics falling into themes of innocence regarding science and technology....indirectly relating to a condition aspiring freedom into this wonderful world...a case of commitment and desperation before gaining ultimate enlightenment...what newton wud have sung as the apple fell off the tree..or what the wright bros wud have sung on seeing birds fly nd discovering the phenomenon of lift....indeed technical as well..as it begins with "How long before I get in,before it starts,before I Begin?"...truly marvellous..in fact this was the song that made me follow rock music as a purist..though I'm still an amateur here..check out the song, nd count me on getting up juvenile....Cheers!

  1. here's d funny bit....at a public performance...coldplay claim to have been mightily influenced by a song by kate bush for speed of sound....in fact they joke that they aren't reluctant to confess that they nick tunes by other artists...particularly the drums and guitars for speed of sound....also referred in their interview are the questionable lyrics of speed of sound...
