A Rush of Blood to the Head


Ever know those bands that everyone else listens to, but you could care less because it probably sucks. To me Coldplay was just...well...one of those bands. At first i thought, what the hell is a Cold Play and why are they or he/she so damn popular. For one thing I dont like much status quoish music and sometimes I am quick to judge a group without listening to their songs. Its a sucky way to find music, but we all got our flaws.

Then in the summer of 03', it all changed. I remembered going on my 8th grade weekend trip to Atlanta with a duke load of classmates. On one of those days, we went to a Braves game and I remembered listening to this catchy piano tune (Clocks) during the last few innings. Before, I heard this song numerous of times on the radio / tv without ever knowing who sang it. To sum it all up...I simply loved it. I was even sitting to myself thinking, wow, this is a kinda song Im gonna play at my wedding. Later on I found out the song was called Clocks. Of course the other part I found out was the fact that Coldplay performed Clocks. Damn you Irony, and damn you Coldplay for making such great music.
