Editor’s note: I’m not Coldplay’s biggest fan but I like the guy’s voice a ton and enjoy their creative orchestration, particularly their use of strings. While hearing this, one of their most popular tunes I was struck by the lyrics I’d never quite listened to before. The recurring point of course is the old “riding high in April, shot down in May” of Sinatra reminiscence. But the real striker was the one phrase chosen below as my favorite lyric.
Favorite lyric: “Oh, who would ever want to be king?”
