Song of the Week

I'm a little late on my song of the week, but this week I'm liking Coldplay's Every Teardrop is a Waterfall.  It's a little strange that I would choose this song, just because I'm not a huge fan of Coldplay.  I like some of their music, and really like a select few of their songs, but I find most of their music to be average.  I think Every Teardrop is a Waterfall has a great sound and if this is a sign of what's to come from Coldplay, I'll be listening in the future.
Every Teardrop is a Waterfall-Coldplay

I turn the music up, I got my records on
I shut the world outside until the lights come on
Maybe the streets alight, maybe the trees are gone
But I feel my heart start beating to my favorite song

And all the kids they dance, all the kids all night
Until Monday morning feels another life
I turn the music up, I'm on a roll this time
And heaven is in sight

I turn the music up, I got my records on
From underneath a rubble sing a rebel song
Don't want to see another generation drop
I'd rather be a comma than a full stop

Maybe I'm in the black, maybe I'm on my knees
Maybe I'm in the gap between the two trapezes
But my heart is beating and my pulses start
Cathedrals in my heart

As we saw oh this light
I swear you emerge blinking into
To tell me it's alright

As we soar walls
Every siren is a symphony
And every tear's a waterfall

Is a waterfall, ah
Is a waterfall, ah
Is always a waterfall
Every tear is always a waterfall, ah

So you can hurt, hurt me bad
But still I'll raise the flag

Oh,
It was a wa-ah-ah-ah, waterfall
A wa-ah-ah-ah, waterfall

Every tear
Every tear
Every teardrop is a waterfall

Every tear
Every tear
Every teardrop is a waterfall

  1. This is the first time I'm hearing this song and I do like it. It will be interesting to see what the new album sounds like. This sounds more electronic than some of their old stuff.
