20 things I love about Parachutes

#Parachutes20 đŸ–€đŸ§ĄđŸ’›
1. Coldplay are stereotyped as a sad and depressing band but the very first song of their very first album is one of the most uplifting tracks ever.
Don’t Panic, you are my comfort food
#Parachutes20
2. I don’t relate to Shiver at all but the song is extremely nostalgic to me. It literally takes me to my childhood for no reasons at all. I think Ive romanticized this band so much that I associate their early days with my own. A total mess!!!

3. When I first downloaded Parachutes, I got the bootleg version with Guster singing the title track, and for the longest time, I was very confused. And this happened to thousands of people, just google “Coldplay Guster Parachutes” 😭

4. The fact that Spies is allegedly banned in China is still intriguing to me. It gave Coldplay an edge that they weren’t expecting #Parachutes20
5. The idea of other black people loving Coldplay was so exciting to me because I only knew like 3 black fans. So when I read that R&B singer Brandy was a huge fan who even mentioned Sparks in one of her songs and sampled Clocks, I became obsessed with her #Parachutes20
6. When I started loving and accepting myself, I used to go for walks late at night and find a park, sit there for a while, and I would just play Parachutes. This was right before the Viva era. I love this memory

7. I dont know about you but Yellow sounds like a Pop song to me so when people get upset when Coldplay releases a Pop song, Im always a little baffled. They have been a Pop band since the start 😝

8. One of the few friends I knew who were into Coldplay gave his mom a card for Mother’s Day and it said “for you I’d bleed myself dry” She freaked out 😂 #Parachutes20
9. Sometimes when I listen to Yellow, I imagine myself being Chris and walking on the beach. Obviously I would better looking #Parachutes20
10. The beginning of Trouble is so dramatic and if you know me, you know Im a bitch who lives for drama. So yeah SHOOK #Parachutes20
11. The drum beat and guitar riff of Trouble are just so sad to me. The song always makes me sad. And I love that feeling #Parachutes20
12. For some reasons the title track Parachutes always reminds me of @Coeurli
I think she used to post the lyrics a lot long time ago, so I associate the song with her. Never told her until now

13. High Speed is also very nostalgic to me. And all I remember is playing this song at the... gym. Im actually not sure what this song is about and I never bothered giving it a second thought but Ive always loved the feeling #Parachutes20
14. I dont have any strong personal feelings about We Never Change. I just love it because it’s a spectacular song. And I love that! Loving a song just because it’s beautiful. And when people tell me that Ive changed, I just say “you never knew the real me” #Parachutes20
15. Everything’s Not Lost. PERIODT
#Parachutes20
16. Everything’s Not Lost (live 2003) is actually how I fell deep in love with this masterpiece. 9 minutes of genius. A song that I used to play on repeat for hours. Every single tiny detail of this song shakes my core
#Parachutes20
17. There was a time when a lot of crazy things were happening in my life and Everything’s Not Lost was literally the only thing that kept me going #Parachutes20
18. Life Is For Living is probably one of those songs that makes me protective of Chris. It’s so personal and brave. When he says, “... I dont wanna live it alone” I feel bad for him.
19. Back to ENL, this was also one of the first song where I could discern every instrument and learned to appreciate the magic of music. So I think it made me into the obsessed music fan that Ive become and Im grateful #Parachutes20
20. The boys were so unsure about themselves, they didnt even know they had created a timeless masterpiece and that adds to the charm of the album. It has a certain innocence that none of the following LPs has. It’s all pure luck that showed their natural talent #Parachutes20
