I remember hearing this song on at the grocery store not too long ago, and I kinda liked it, especially compared to the usual stuff that comes on in there.
It's kind of sobering to think Coldplay was just another rung on the steady slide of pop music towards being the equivalent of the "demo" button on a Casio keyboard.
It's funny because I didn't know it was Coldplay until I watched this video, I just sort of assumed it was Band of Foxes or whatever. Nearly every other Coldplay song I've heard I haven't liked, except for a really cool remix of Clocks by Royksopp.
The thing that's so bad about Coldplay is that they aren't even bad, they're just punishingly banal. The perfect middle class white people band for the 00s, really.
