Customer Reviews

Wouldn't make Coldplay's best 10 songs...
Can't help liking this even if it is only a poor man's 'Clocks'; similar chords in the verse and a near-identical 3+3+2 drumbeat.

Compared to 'In My Place' - the frickin' BRILLIANT first single from the previous album - this is a fairly weak offering to kick-start their 3rd.

Luckily they followed this single up with the amazing 'Fix You' - probably 'X&Y's best track - which is both poignant and epic. Buy that instead!

They've just released 'Talk', which is pretty good...but if they don't choose either 'What If' or 'Swallowed in the Sea' as their 4th single, I'll be somewhat upset.

Then again...does anyone actually BUY CD SINGLES anymore?

Lazy
I like this song, it could have been a lot better, in fact it is better than most coldplay songs. But like everyone has mentioned, it sounds so much like 'clocks'. The first time I heard the intro on the radio, I actually did think they were playing 'clocks'. Time to use a different chord structure guys.

Why This Song?
Why this song? Nearly the whole album is single quality so why do they release the blandest unoriginal song on there? I love Coldplay so I'm disappointed with this. Fix You and Square One will blow Speed of Sound right out of the water when they're released.
