A/N: Good evening, everyone! Today, I am going to be doing a review of Coldplay's song Fix You. Before we get started, let me tell you a little bit more about Coldplay.
Coldplay are a British rock band that was formed in London in 1996
The members include Chris Martin (vocals and piano), Jonny Buckland (guitar), Guy Berryman (bass), Will Champion (drums) and Phil Harvey (creative director)
The band also used to by other names like Pectoralz, Big Fat Noises, and Starfish before deciding to change to Coldplay
Their song "Viva la Vida" made them the first British group to top number one in United Kingdom and United States
Coldplay has won seven Grammy Awards, three Juno Awards, seven Billboard Music Awards and have 10 Guinness World Records
The band has been a major impact to other artists like Shawn Mendes, Halsey, BTS, Harry Styles and others
Coldplay's music has also been compared to A-ha, U2, Oasis, R.E.M. and Radiohead
Now, that you know everything about Coldplay, here are the lyrics to Fix You:
[Verse 1: Chris Martin]
When you try your best, but you don't succeed
When you get what you want, but not what you need
When you feel so tired, but you can't sleep
Stuck in reverse
And the tears come streaming down your face
When you lose something you can't replace
When you love someone, but it goes to waste
Could it be worse?
[Chorus: Chris Martin & Will Champion]
Lights will guide you home
And ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you
[Verse 2: Chris Martin]
And high up above, or down below
When you're too in love to let it go
But if you never try, you'll never know
Just what you're worth
[Chorus: Chris Martin & Will Champion]
Lights will guide you home
And ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you
[Breakdown: Chris Martin, Jonny Buckland, Guy Berryman & Will Champion]
Tears stream down your face
When you lose something you cannot replace
Tears stream down your face, and I
Tears stream down your face
I promise you I will learn from my mistakes
Tears stream down your face, and I
[Chorus: Chris Martin]
Lights will guide you home
And ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you
I love Fix You by Coldplay. It's such a beautiful song from start to finish. The meaning of the song is about consoling someone that you love. Fix You was written for Chris' then-wife, Gwyneth Paltrow, to comfort her after her father had passed away.
The first verse starts off with helping someone in need as Chris sings:
When you try your best, but you don't succeed
When you get what you want, but not what you need
When you feel so tired, but you can't sleep
Stuck in reverse
And before moving on to the feeling of losing someone with the lyrics:
And the tears come streaming down your face
When you lose something you can't replace
When you love someone, but it goes to waste
Could it be worse?
On the chorus, Chris talks about reassuring his lover singing:
Lights will guide you home
And ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you
The highs and lows of being in a relationship and learning from your mistakes are key points in the second verse with:
And high up above, or down below
When you're too in love to let it go
But if you never try, you'll never know
Just what you're worth
The lyrics in Fix You speaks volumes to anyone who has lost a loved one and also trying to comfort them through their loss. The production for it is amazing and really brings out the feeling for this song. I usually don't listen Coldplay's music, but I would definitely listen to this song for sure.
