COLDPLAY | monicakes

Coldplay are a British rock band formed in 1996

Oh my, COLDPLAY, I'm such a huge fan since their first album in 2000, "Parachutes", ouah 14 years... "Yellow", my god this song is all my life... What I like about this band, the lyrics, so powerful, so stunning.

The melody are so bewitching that I can listen to it everyday... I found this on Wikipedia and I'm totally in accordance with them.

Coldplay's frontman Chris Martin once proclaimed the band's music as "limestone rock" in comparison to "hard rock".The band's music has been called "meditative" and "blue romantic"; it "[reflects] on their emotions" and Martin "endlessly examine[s] his feelings".

Martin's lyrical wordplay has been called feminist.

The tone of the band's first studio album, Parachutes, was described as melodic pop with "distorted guitar riffs and swishing percussion" but also being "exquisitely dark and artistically abrasive".

In their second studio album A Rush of Blood to the Head, the songs in it were considered to contain "lush melodies and a heartbreak" and that they had a "newfound confidence."

The music on their third release X&Y has been considered to be "ruminations on Martin's doubts, fears, hopes, and loves."

In Viva la Vida or Death and All His Friends, the group's style was moving towards art rock.

The band experimented with different instruments including orchestras, honky-tonk pianos and further so.

Mylo Xyloto carries the concept album format from the love and war-induced Viva la Vida and expands the spectrum to include electronic and acoustic elements.

Lyrical influences were taken from graffiti and the German resistance group White Rose.

Coldplay, on one hand they sound British but on the other they sound like a huge global artist.

In 2012, it was my first gig, yeah I know, he took so long to see them but each time its so hard to get tickets, its always sold out.

This gig was at "Stade de France", the biggest stadium in France and it was sold out, can you imagine, 80 000 people...

When you get in, they gave us a bright bracelet , of course I wondered what was for? and it was for the show, the bracelets would shine in accordance with the music .

Oh my, it was so wonderful...

On Twitter, Chris Martin warned us that the show is going to be film... So, we got a huge guest, RIHANNA, ladies and gentlemen

So F*...... Awesome, she sang her song with the band "Princesse of China" and she came back for an acoustic version of "Umbrella", I was so excited because I never saw her in live, the crowd sang with her, it was wonderful.

To play, press and hold the enter key. To stop, release the enter key.

This show was the most spectacular I've ever been with firework, the bright bracelet, the lights on stage so amazing. They know how to entertain the crowd. I was delighted that they sang the old song.

It remind me the time when I listened, so much memories... its always the best "Fix you" (when you try your best but you don't succeed) & "The Scientist", the melody is like a lullaby, and the lyrics my god, my entire life, so lovely... Coldplay rocked my youth and even now.

What else can I say that it was the most wonderful gig ever, maybe I waited so long for ColdPlay and when it finally happened, it was more than I expected. Its worth to wait.
