Fix You

When you try your best but you don't succeed. 

When you get what you want and not what you need. 

When you feel so tired but you can't sleep. Stuck in reverse....

If you're a Coldplay fan, you would know this song even before you got through the first line. With the keyboard playing in the background and Martin crooning in his trademark pitch, I could listen to this song all day long.

Specially after finding out for whom this song was written. In case you didn't know (and aren't a Chris Martin follower like me), he wrote this song for Gwyneth Paltrow after her dad passed away.

When the tears come streaming down your face.

When you lose something you can't replace. 

When you love someone but it goes to waste. Could it be worse ...

This is my favorite Coldplay song but it wasn't the first one I'd heard. Actually, I don't even know which was my first Coldplay song.

It was one of those late nights at office when almost everyone has left for the day but one unfortunate team is busy making final touches to the deliverable and trying to meet their 'EOD' deadline.

Since no one was there to object, my manager back then, PG started playing this song on his phone out loud. Only a few seconds into the song, I got reeled in. So I asked, "What band is that?". PG looked at me with an expression that you might get when someone asked you, "What does water taste like?"

As if it should've been obvious, he told me that it was Coldplay. Okay, so I was intrigued enough to check it out.

Lights will guide you home. 

And ignite your bones. 

And I will try and fix you.

The first Coldplay song I heard was 'The Scientist', followed by 'Yellow' and other hits like 'Viva La Vida', 'Atlas', 'Fix You', & 'Paradise'.

So yes. Fix You is my favorite song by this band. I've recently been told that guys usually like this one but not the girls. They don't want a 'Guy' to fix you. They're capable of doing that, along with anything else a guy can do.

High up above or down below. 

When you're too in love to let it go. 

But if you never try, you'll never know. 

Just what you're worth.

Anyhoo, these are my 2 random cents worth of thought on this song.

Tears stream down your face when you lose something you cannot replace. 

Tears stream down your face I promise you I will learn from my mistakes. 

Tears stream from your face .....

Lights will guide you home. 

And ignite your bones. 

And I will try ... And fix you ...
