Coldplay is different. For once, an acoustic band has me hooked to its music in a way none other could. I can listen to its music in every mood and still feel the jitters i felt the first time i heard those songs. I wonder what is about its music that i can link to so well. What gets to me?

Coldplay has music that is not what you can call conventional. I mean look at Life In Technicolor II or Lovers in Japan. It is simplistic but somehow elevates your mood. The lyrics are something anyone can relate to. I mean, the first time i heard Til kingdom come i thought they were singing it specially for me. That feeling i don't find with any other band. Even Green Day, my close second in band ranking, is no comparison in its words.
The first time i heard coldplay (not live) was at Totos about 2 years back. Yellow playing on the speakers, i fell in love with it. Now, 190 coldplay songs later, i am still in love with it. And with every one of those 190 songs.
This is just an ode to my favorite band, who i hope will come to India and fulfill my undying wish of watching them play Live.

look how they shine for you
