Coldplay are a British rock band formed in London in 1996. Vocalist,
rhythm guitarist and pianist Chris Martin,
lead guitarist Jonny Buckland, bassist
Guy Berryman, and
drummer Will Champion met at University
College London and began playing music together
from 1996 to 1998, first calling themselves Pectoralz and then Starfish before
finally changing their name to Coldplay. Their creative director and former
manager Phil Harvey is considered
the fifth member of the band.
After changing their name to Coldplay, the
band recorded and released two EPs, Safety in 1998 and The Blue Room in 1999, the latter was their first release under a major record
label, Parlophone. Coldplay
achieved worldwide fame with the release of the song "Yellow"
in 2000, followed in the same year by their debut album Parachutes,
which was nominated for the Mercury Prize.
The band's second album, A Rush of
Blood to the Head(2002), was released to critical
acclaim. Their next record, X&Y, was the
best-selling
album worldwide of 2005. While the Brian Eno-produced
fourth studio album, Viva la Vida or Death and All His Friends(2008)
was the best-selling album of said year and earned the band three Grammy
Awards. In 2011, Coldplay released their fifth
studio album, Mylo Xyloto, which
topped the charts in over 34 countries and was the UK's best-selling rock album
of 2011. The band have since released Ghost Stories(2014),
A Head Full
of Dreams(2015) and Everyday Life(2019).
Coldplay have sold more than 100 million
albums worldwide, making them one of the world's
best-selling music artists. They have won numerous awards throughout their career, including nine Brit Awards, seven MTV Video
Music Awards, eight MTV Europe
Music Awards and seven Grammy Awards from 35 nominations. The band's first three albums—Parachutes(2000),
A Rush of Blood to the Head(2002), and X&Y(2005) — are among the best-selling albums in UK chart history.
"Everglow" is a song by British rock band Coldplay. It is
the fourth track from their seventh studio album, A Head Full
of Dreams. It features uncredited guest vocals by Gwyneth Paltrow, who at
the time was married to Chris Martin despite
their separation being announced in 2014. The track premiered during Zane Lowe's Beats
1 radio show on 26 November 2015 and was originally released as a promotional
single for the album on 27 November 2015.
On 11 November 2016, however, the song was
released as the fourth official single from the album through a newly recorded
stripped-down version, which was inspired by Martin's unrehearsed solo
performance of the song at the recente Glastonbury
Festival. This recording ends with a sample of Muhammad Ali's 1977
speech in Newcastle upon Tyne.
The track revolves around a heartfelt piano
riff and was written in the key of C# Minor at 73 BPM and a chord progression that alternates between
C#m-A-E-G#m7 and C#m-A-E-B
Oh, they say people
come
They say people go
This particular diamond
Was extra special
And though you might
be gone
And the world may not know
Still I see you celestial
Like a lion you ran,
a goddess you rolled
Like an eagle you circled, in perfect purple
So how come things move on? How come cars don’t slow?
When it feels like the end of my world
And I should, but I
can't let it go
But when I'm cold,
cold
When I'm cold, cold
There's a light that you give me
When I'm in shadow
There's a feeling you give me, an everglow
Like brothers in
blood
Sisters who ride
Yeah, we swore on that night
We'd be friends 'til we die
But the changing of winds
And the way waters flow
Life as short as the falling of snow
And now I'm gonna miss you, I know
But when I'm cold,
cold
In water rolled, salt
I know you're always with me
And the way you will show
And you're with me wherever I go
'Cause you give me this feeling, this everglow
Oh, what I would give
for just a moment to hold
Yeah, I live for this feeling, this everglow
So if you love someone
You should let them know
Oh, the light that you give me will everglow.
