      and that's the reason why this song specifically is never played live (the rest of the album excluding Fix You isn't either, but that's because this era was kinda depressing for the band)

  • @NinjaxCad
    @NinjaxCad Pƙed rokem +16

    X&Y's lyrics are notoriously... out there and ambiguous. You did get a lot of key points though, it's a song about embracing curiosity. I believe it was inspired by observing how his young child interacted with the world around him, where everything was wonderful and new and exciting, and yearning for that magic again.
    As others said, you're definitely thinking of Clocks. That song's success on the previous album had a very outsized influence on X&Y's sound and vibe.
    Token request to someday react to Coloratura please 🙏

  • @mapashe7003
    @mapashe7003 Pƙed rokem +7

    the easiest way to explain the lyrics is that you see everything from a bird's point of view, in the verse "and birds can fly at the speed of sound to show you how it all begins" i interpret it as a bird telling you how it feels fly, feel the speed of sound, from the beginning to the end, and when he says "if you could see it you would understand" well I think you get the idea hehe sorry for my english, use google translateđŸ˜č

    I've been a fan of Coldplay for a very long time. You always bring a newer, fresher and deeper perspective to their songs that I enjoy! ❀ After listening to what you said, I think he's talking about belief and how certain things just manifest itself, which can be mysterious until you see it happen. Chris has always said he doesn't write the songs, they get sent to him.

    Just as I remember the day 'Yellow' came out ,I also remember 'Speed of Sound' first play on the radio. I loved this so much ( still do ) . Its so quintessentially Coldplay (add it to the long long song list ) and would never sound right done by anyone else. The piano and that voice made them unique.
    There's an interview somewhere where Chris said the lights on this video cost a fortune. Felt like the start of the big concert/stadium stuff although they very rarely played this song live. Also if I remember correctly Chris wanted to express the enormity of the impact of having kids had on him.

    I'm sure you meant Clocks when you said it reminds you of another song.
    The song is about life, the thoughts in our heads, God, our beliefs, the universe and the signs we get from it and how we see them or not. And how we still can't understand life or our existence.. It can be many things but usually Coldplay songs if you try to understand every single word they don't make sense but they're more of a feeling rather than a thought.

It has an amazing stereo. I still turn her on to my latest bopz and singer songwriters, like Lana Del Rey❀. She ends up buying them off the evil itunes 😱so she can listen to them right away 😊 Haven't talked to her in a couple of years, but I will get her to love Olivia Rodrigo!! Frig you.

    It reminds you of Clocks, mate. It's the exact same descending chord progression, even down to the fact that the second chord run through of the three chords (I don't know the proper terminology) is played twice as much as the first and third run throughs, as if the song 'holds' on the second chord before moving to the third. This has always been my gripe with Speed Of Sound, as I believe, although the piano sounds great, it sounds similar enough that if another band had written it, they could've been sued. Particularly in the X&Y era, Coldplay recycled chords, instrumentals and lyrics quite often. One example is the organ parts in Fix You, Talk and White Shadows. It's basically the same notes in all three. Another is the 'never try, never know' lyric, which was used verbatim in Fix You and Speed Of Sound, and a slight variation used in What If. Another criticism I have is that the lyrics are hopelessly vague and feel almost lazy, almost right through the album, which is something you experienced in this vid. Who knows what he's talking about. X&Y is well documented as a time of struggle for them and though the album has three songs which I rate as absolutely top notch, I'm always a little disappointed by the album when I listen to it right through. It could've been transcendental, instead it's just decent
