Coldplay

Coldplay is a British band. They are doing such a successful career with their music (mostly Rock/Pop and Alternative) and concerts all over the USA and Europe.
They met each other in the September of 1996 in their first week of college (University College London). They are known by writing beautiful and simple songs that enchanted and keeps enchanting people all over the world. Only just a few months before Coldplay released their first album in 2000 (Parachutes), in England, they were hailed as the Band of the Year, at the same year. It happened at the speed of light, but it weren’t as easy as it seemed to be.
The band is constituted by the guitar playing of John Buckland, the melodic bass of Guy Berryman, the thoughtful drums of Will Champion, and the leading and tenor vocals of Chris Martin, who are the elementary answers for the bands’ soul. Although melancholy stands behind every Coldplay song, which is also steeped by an unusual and sincere optimism rarely found in English bands. Songs face an inevitable sadness and yearning (which all this could be resumed in something called being real), to get to a better place where the safe truth and pure emotion is decisive. "We just want the songs to reflect reality" said Chris Martin.
Coldplay released the single "Brothers And Sisters" on a small English label called Fierce Panda, after which the UK label Parlophone signed them in 1999. They released their first debut album “Parachutes” and then they had achieve great success with the singles “Yellow”, “Trouble”, “Spies” and “Don’t Panic”. In 2002, “A Rush Of Blood To The Head” may well be the most amazing album during, with the songs “In My Place”, “God Put A Smile Upon Your Face”, the sentimental one of “The Scientist” ,and the Grammy-Winning “Clocks”, which won multiple awards such as NME's Album of the Year. Subsequently, “X & Y” Coldplay’s career, with the songs “White Shadows”, “Talk”, “Speed Of Sound”, and “The Hardest Part”, . Finally, the last work “Viva la Vida Or Death And All His Friends” with the singles “Viva La Vida”, “Lost”, “Life In Technicolor” and “Violet Hill”, that released again to largely favorable reviews and earning several Grammy nominations and wins. All of Coldplay's albums have enjoyed commercial success.
There are also such many fantastic and pleasant songs that we should give an honoury mention, such as “Crests Of Waves”, “I Ran Away”, “Things I Don’t Understand”, “Murder”, “No More Keeping My Feet On The Ground”, “1.36”, “Proof”, “Bigger Stronger”, “Only Superstition” and “Animals”.
Chris admits that the last track on the album “X & Y”, "Everything's Not Lost" is the message of Coldplay's entire work up until 2005.
