Oh brother I can't I can't get through
I've been tryin' hard to reach you 'cause I don't know what to do
Oh brother I can't believe it's true
I'm so scared about the future and I want to talk to you
Oh I want to talk to you.
You can take a picture of something you see
In the future where will I be?
You can climb a ladder up to the sun
Or write a song nobody had sung
Or do something that's never been done
Are you lost or incomplete?
Do you feel like a puzzle, you can't find your missing piece?
Tell me how you feel
Well I feel like they're talkin' in a language I don't speak
And they're talkin' it to me
So you take a picture of something you see
In the future where will I be?
You can climb a ladder up to the sun
Or write a song nobody had sung or do
Something that's never been done, do
Something that's never been done
So you don't know where you're goin'
And you want to talk
And you feel like you're goin' where you've been before
You tell anyone who'll listen, but you feel ignored
But nothing's really makin' any sense at all, let's talk
Let's talk, let's talk, let's talk.

Every great rock singer ever has been a tenor. It is the range required to cut through the range of rhythm guitar and bass. If you try to sing it an octave lower, it washes out in the rhythm. it's the same reason why the lead instrument has always been, fiddle, sax/trumpet or electric guitar.
I hate Coldplay with a passion, but he is singing in the correct range.

Coldplay has written many fine songs, including this one - 9.
No, it's not a bandwagon.

This is just what the music business wants you to like! Coldplay is an utterly sad example for commercially made music.... bah!
I thought this radio station claimed itself to be commercial free?

Not sure why people mock or bash this band. They're pretty damn good. Perhaps the mockers are just a bunch of sheep following some fool on a show that decided to pick on them?

You can't fault a band for wanting to make. If you could do this you would.

Guess I just don't get their sound. I keep hearing a softer version of U2 or something. And vocals kind of blah. To each their own. 
I think Bryan Eno just got these boys to sing all of his favorite songs, this is not the only track on X + Y that sounds uncannily like something else.

Hi there! Love RP! Meant to message you yesterday 8/30 asking if you have ever been able to access the original version of "Big Hard Sun" by the band Indio. I like Eddie Vedder's version of it but cannot for the life of me ever find the original. Would love to hear it again. Thanks for a great radio station.
Or do something that's sort of already been done.
This band has among the best pop keyboards arrangements in history.

that oldplay guitar line reminds me of the Edge from U2, only played slower and less well
Great song. I like Coldplay. Thanks Bill!

Oh, brother.
I still cannot understand how listeners are able to enjoy the singer's voice. Everyone to their own!
the singer's voice is what it is. And he sounds just fine, being himself. The guitar riff is most ace, since he ripped it off from Kraftwerk.

If Robert Plant, Jon Bon Jovi, and Chris Martin had baritone voices - they'd never have made it. period.
Tenors seem to have dominated pop and rock music since the 1960s, but baritones such as Jim Morrison, David Bowie, Jimi Hendrix, Mick Jagger, and Iggy Pop have "made it" to different extents. Of course, Sinatra and Presley were baritones as well.

Why can't men sing in a real register instead of trying to emulate pre-pubescent boys?

The quote from Kraftwerk's Ralf Hütter is funny...

I *seriously* hope they licensed this song from Kraftwerk, as it is note for note, chord for chord, in certain places.

Preceded by a horrible instrumental Fix You by Low Strung. Good job I quite like cold play

two Coldplay songs in a row is too much ! ok the previous song was the instrumental version of "Fix you", it's still bad.
Sorry but I'm perfectly permeable to the "magic" of coldplay, their songs get on my nerves with the singer's voice, the lack of energy and those idealist lyrics. It's like Paulo Coelho but in music. To me, they are trying too hard to be "poetic" and "dreamy" etc, it's a fake depth. They are doing pop music and should assume it instead of pretending to be something more philosophical or of higher quality.
