Nobody said it was easy; it's such a shame we had to part

+Alternative Rock!

+Coldplay! I've been listening to Coldplay's catalog for the past few days and I really enjoy it! Although some people may find their songs profound, confusing, trashy or draggy. It's not, okay. It's called alternative.

+Actually I'm not even sure why I suddenly started to listen to Coldplay. Perhaps it's because I'm quite sick of all those R&B, pop and club hits that I needed something different, before I die from sugar-rush.

+Some of my favourite tracks so far are The Scientist, Yellow, Violet Hill, Don't Panic, Trouble, Clocks, Fix You, Viva La Vida and many more! When I listen to Coldplay, I'm constantly reminded of how similar the Taiwanese indie band sodagreen sounds like them. Their singing style and music style is really congruent.

+But what I really like about Coldplay is essentially their passion for music, which you can hear in each and every of their compositions. They sing with so much soul and conviction, it's hard not to be won over, like in this clip of "The Scientist" Live. It's good, watch it!


The Scientist

Come up to meet you
Tell you I'm sorry
You don't know how lovely you are

I had to find you
Tell you I need you
Tell you I set you apart

Tell me your secrets
And ask me your questions
Oh let's go back to the start

Running in circles
Coming in tails
Heads are a science apart

Nobody said it was easy
Its such a shame for us to part
Nobody said it was easy
No one ever said it would be this hard
Oh take me back to the start

I was just guessing
At numbers and figures
Pulling the puzzles apart

Questions of science
Science and progress
Do not speak as loud as my heart

Tell me you love me
Come back to haunt me
Oh and I rush to the start

Running in circles
Chasing our tails
Coming back as we are

Nobody said it was easy
Oh its such a shame for us to part
Nobody said it was easy
No one ever said it would be so hard
I'm going back to the start

+And also watch this really cool video of their single "Strawberry Swing"! It's rather new I think.

+Isn't it freaking cool?
