We're a bit late to the celebration but we have to ask - what do you guys think?!
Personally, I don't feel like it captures the same charm as Mylo Xyloto but it's still a bloody great album. I can't not love Coldplay's music :)

Mylo Xyloto's first birthday!
Posted 13 years agoYesterday on the 24th of October was the date Mylo Xyloto was released one year ago to the day! :D Wow, time flies!
I have to say, it's made the past year of my life so enjoyable. I've heard a lot of criticism in the Coldplay community, saying it's too "modern" but... I have to disagree completely! I love it to bits and pieces, as I do every other album by Coldplay.
What are your overall thoughts on the album? What's your favourite song?
We'd love to know!

Up with the Birds - Mylo Xyloto
Posted 13 years ago
The birds they sang
The break of day
Start again I hear them say
It's so hard to just walk away
The birds they sang
All a choir
Start again a little higher
It's a spark in a sea of grey
The sky is blue
Dreamed that lie til it's true
Then taking back the punch I threw
My arms turn wings
Oh those clumsy things
Send me up to that wonderful world
And then I'm up with the birds
Might have to go, where they don't know my name
float all over the world just to see her again
but I won't show or feel any pain
even though all my armor might rust in the rain
A simple plot
But I know one day
Good things are coming our way
A simple plot
But I know one day
Good things are coming our way
Oh yeah!Don't Let it Break your Heart - Mylo Xyloto

And if I lost the map
If I lost it all
I fell into the trap
Then she goes
When you're tired of waiting so you just
Find that you never had to stop
Come on baby, don't let it break your heart
Those heavenly regrets
Still on me though
Trying to catch a cannonball
And so burning tired
(Oooh)
Through my days are flowing
From a shipwreck I heard a call
And she said
When you're tired of aiming your arrows,
Still you'll never hit the mark
And even if your aims are shadows
Still we never gonna part
Come on baby don't let it break your heart
Don't let it break your heart

Up In Flames - Mylo Xyloto
Posted 13 years ago
So it's over
This time I know it's gone
Salt water
tasted it too long
I only know I'm wrong
now I know it's gone
Up in flames
Up in flames
Up in flames
We have slowly gone.
So it's over
this time you're flying on
this time i know no song
can stop its slowly burn
can stop its slowly gone
Up in flames
Up in flames
Up in flames
We have slowly gone
Up in flames
Up in flames
Up in flames
We have slowly gone
We have slowly gone
Can we pour some water on?Princess of China - Mylo Xyloto

Once upon a time somebody ran
Somebody ran away saying fast as I can
I've got to go...got to go
Once upon a time we fell apart
You're holding in your hands the two Halves of my heart
Ohhhhh, ohhhhh!
Ohhhhh....
Once upon a time, we burn bright
That all we ever seem to do is fight
On and on...
And on and on and on...
Once upon a time on the same side.
Once upon a time on the same side, at the same Day
And why'd you have to go have to go and throw it all on my fame
I could've been a Princess, You'd be a King
Could've had a castle, and wore a ring
But noooooo, you let me gooooooo!
I could've been a Princess, You'd be a king
Could've had a castle, and wore a ring
But noooooo, you let me gooooooo!
And stole my star
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
You stole my star la, la la la la laaaaaa
Oooooooh-oh oh oooooooh oh oh oh ohhhhhhhhh
Oooooooh-oh oh oooooooh oh oh oh ohhhhhhhhh
Cause you really hurt me
No you really hurt me
Cause you really hurt me
No you really hurt me
Cause you really hurt me
Ooooooooh no you really hurt me
Cause you really hurt me

Lord I don't know which way I am going
Which way the river gonna flow
It's just seems that upstream, I keep rowing
Still got such a long way to go
Still got such a long way to go
Then that light, hits your eye
I know, I swear,
We'll find somewhere the streets are made with gold
Bullets fly, split the sky
But that's all right, sometimes sunlight comes streaming through the holes
Oooohhh ooooohh

They got one eye on what you knew
And one eye on what you do
So be careful who it is you're talking to
They got one eye on what you knew
And one eye on what you do
So be careful what it is you're trying to do
And be careful when you're walking in the view
Just be careful when you're walking in the view!
Ooh-oooh-oooh
Ooh-oooh-oooh-ooh
Got one eye on the road and one on you!
Ooh-oooh-oooh
Ooh-oooh-oooh-ooh
Got one eye on the road and one on
They got one eye on what you knew
And one eye on what you do
So be careful 'cause nothing they say is true
But they don't believe a word
It's just us against the world
And we just gotta turn up to be heard
Hear those crocodiles ticking 'round the world
Hear those crocodiles ticking (they go) ticking 'round the world
Ooh-oooh-oooh
Ooh-oooh-oooh-ooh
Got one eye on the road and one on you!
Ooh-oooh-oooh
Ooh-oooh-oooh-ooh
Got one eye on the road.
She can't hear them climbing the stairs
I got my right side fighting
While my left eye's on the chairs
Ooh-oooh-oooh
Ooh-oooh-oooh-ooh
Got one eye on the road and one on you!
Ooh-oooh-oooh
Ooh-oooh-oooh-ooh

I turn the music up, I got my records on
I shut the world outside until the lights come on
Maybe the streets alight, maybe the trees are gone
But I feel my heart start beating to my favorite song
And all the kids they dance, all the kids all night
Until Monday morning feels another life
I turn the music up, I'm on a roll this time
And heaven is in sight, Ooh
I turn the music up, I got my records on
From underneath the rubble sing a rebel song
Don't want to see another generation drop
I'd rather be a comma than a full stop
Maybe I'm in the black, maybe I'm on my knees
Maybe I'm in the gap between the two trapezes
But my heart is beating and my pulses start
Cathedrals in my heart
As we saw, oh, this light
I swear you emerge blinking into
To tell me it's alright
As we soar walls
Every siren is a symphony
And every tear's a waterfall
Is a waterfall, ah
Is a waterfall, ah
Is a waterfall
Every tear is a waterfall, ah
So you can hurt, hurt me bad
But still I'll raise the flag, Wooh
It was a wa-ah-ah-ah-aterfall
A wa-ah-ah-ah-aterfall
Oh, Oh
Every tear
Every tear
Every teardrop is a waterfall
Oh, Oh
Every tear
Every tear
Every teardrop is a waterfall
Every tear
Every tear
Every teardrop is a waterfall
Every tear
Every tear
Every teardrop is a waterfallM.M.I.X - Mylo Xyloto

Posted 13 years ago
Oh morning come bursting, the clouds, Amen.
Lift off this blindfold, let me see again
And bring back the water, let your ships roll in.
In my heart she left a hole
The tightrope that I'm walking just sways and ties
The devil as he's talking with those angel's eyes
And I just want to be there when the lightning strikes
And the saints go marching in
And sing slow-ow-ow-ow it down
Through chaos as it swirls
It's us against the world
Like a river to a raindrop, I lost a friend
My drunken as a Daniel in a lion's den
And tonight I know it all has to begin again
So whatever you do, don't let go
And if we could float away
Fly up to the surface and just start again
And lift off before trouble
Just erodes us in the rain (x3)
Sing slow-ow-ow-ow it down
Oh Slow-ow-ow-ow it down
Through chaos as it swirls
It's just us against the world
Through chaos as it swirls
It's us against the worldCharlie Brown - Mylo Xyloto

Wooh, ooh ooh ooh
Stole a key,
Took a car downtown where the lost boys meet,
Took a car downtown and took what they offered me.
To set me free,
I saw the lights go down at the end of the scene,
I saw the lights go down and they're standing in front of me.
Wooh, ooh ooh ooh
And my scarecrow dreams,
When they smashed my heart into smithereens,
Be a bright red rose come bursting the concrete.
Be a cartoon heart,
Light a fire, a fire, a spark
Light a fire, a flame in my heart.
We'll run wild,
We'll be glowing in the dark.
Wooh, ooh ooh ooh
We'll be glowing in the dark.
All the boys, all the girls,
All that matters in the world
All the boys, all the girls,
All the madness that occurs.
All the highs, all the lows,
As the room is spinning goes
We'll run riot,
We'll be glowing in the dark.
Wooh, ooh ooh ooh
So we soar luminous and wired
We'll be glowing in the dark.
Paradise - Mylo Xyloto

When she was just a girl
She expected the world
But it flew away from her reach so
She ran away in her sleep
and dreamed of
Para-para-paradise, Para-para-paradise, Para-para-paradise
Every time she closed her eyes
When she was just a girl
She expected the world
But it flew away from her reach
and the bullets catch in her teeth
Life goes on, it gets so heavy
The wheel breaks the butterfly
Every tear a waterfall
In the night the stormy night she'll close her eyes
In the night the stormy night away she'd fly
and dreams of
Para-para-paradise
Para-para-paradise
Para-para-paradise
Oh oh oh oh oh oh-oh-oh
She'd dream of
Para-para-paradise
Para-para-paradise
Para-para-paradise
Oh oh oh oh oh oh-oh-oh-oh
lalalalalalalalalalala
And so lying underneath those stormy skies
She'd say, "oh, ohohohoh I know the sun must set to rise"
This could be
Para-para-paradise
Para-para-paradise
Para-para-paradise
Oh oh oh oh oh oh-oh-oh
This could be
Para-para-paradise
Para-para-paradise
This could be
Para-para-paradise

Written in graffiti on a bridge in a park
'Do you ever get the feeling that you're missing the mark?'
It's so cold, it's so cold
It's so cold, it's so cold
Written up in marker on a factory sign
'I struggle with the feeling that my life isn't mine'
It's so cold, it's so cold
It's so cold, it's so cold
See the arrow that they shot, trying to tear us apart
Took the fire from my belly and the beat from my heart
Still I won't let go
Still I won't let go
You
Ooohooh
'Cause you do
Oh you, use your heart as a weapon
And it hurts like heaven
On every street, every car, every surface are names
Tonight the streets are ours and we're writing and saying
Don't let them take control
No we won't let take control
Yes, I feel a little bit nervous,
Yes, I feel nervous and I cannot relax,
How come they're out to get us?
How come they're out when they don't know the facts?
So on concrete canvas under cover of dark
Concrete canvas, I'll go making my mark
Armed with a spray can soul
I'll be armed with a spray can soul
You
Ooohooh
Oh, you
Ooohooh
Yes, you
You use your heart as a weapon
And it hurts like heaven
Woho-ooh
Woho-oooh
It's true
When you
Use your heart as a weapon
It hurts like heavenDeath and All His Friends - Viva La Vida

All winter we got carried away
Over on the rooftops, let's get married
All summer we just hurried
So come over, just be patient and don't worry
So come over, just be patient and don't worry
So come over, just be patient and don't worry
And don't worry
Try

No, I don't want to battle from beginning to end
I don't want to cycle or recycle revenge
I don't want to follow death and all of his friends
No, I don't want to battle from beginning to end
I don't want to cycle or recycle revenge
I don't want to follow death and all of his friends

They were sitting, they were sitting in the strawberry swing
And every moment was so precious
They were sitting, they were talking in the strawberry swing
And everybody was for fighting, wouldn't wanna waste a thing
Cold, cold water bring me 'round
Now my feet won't touch the ground
Cold, cold water what you say?
It's such, it's such a perfect day, it's such a perfect day
I remember we were walking pp to strawberry swing
I can't wait 'til the morning, wouldn't wanna change a thing
People moving all the time inside a perfect straight line
Don't you wanna curve away?
It's such it's such a perfect day, it's such a perfect day
Ah, now the sky could be blue, I don't mind
Without you it's a waste of time
Could be blue, I don't mind
Without you it's a waste of time
The sky could be blue, could be gray
Without you I just slide away
The sky could be blue, I don't mind
Without you it's a waste of time

Was a long and dark December
From the rooftops I remember
There was snow
White snow
Clearly I remember
From the windows they were watching
While we froze down below
When the future's architectured
By a carnival of idiots on show
You'd better lie low
If you love me
Won't you let me know?
Was a long and dark December
When the banks became cathedrals
And a fox became God
Priests clutched onto bibles
Hollowed out to fit their rifles
And the cross was held aloft
Bury me in honor
When I'm dead and hit the ground
A love back home it unfolds
If you love me
Won't you let me know?
I don't want to be a soldier
Who the captain of some sinking ship
Would stow, far below
So if you love me
Why'd you let me go?
I took my love down to violet hill
There we sat in snow
All that time she was silent still
So if you love me
Won't you let me know?
If you love me,
Won't you let me know?Viva La Vida - Viva La Vida

I used to rule the world
Seas would rise when I gave the word
Now in the morning I sleep alone
Sweep the streets I used to own
I used to roll the dice
Feel the fear in my enemy's eyes
Listen as the crowd would sing
"Now the old king is dead! Long live the king!"
One minute I held the key
Next the walls were closed on me
And I discovered that my castles stand
Upon pillars of salt and pillars of sand
I hear Jerusalem bells a ringing
Roman Cavalry choirs are singing
Be my mirror, my sword and shield
My missionaries in a foreign field
For some reason I can't explain
Once you go there was never
Never an honest word
And that was when I ruled the world
It was the wicked and wild wind
Blew down the doors to let me in
Shattered windows and the sound of drums
People couldn't believe what I'd become
Revolutionaries wait
For my head on a silver plate
Just a puppet on a lonely string
Oh who would ever want to be king?
I hear Jerusalem bells a ringing
Roman Cavalry choirs are singing
Be my mirror, my sword and shield
My missionaries in a foreign field
For some reason I can't explain
I know Saint Peter won't call my name
Never an honest word
But that was when I ruled the world
I hear Jerusalem bells a ringing
Roman Cavalry choirs are singing
Be my mirror, my sword and shield
My missionaries in a foreign field
For some reason I can't explain
I know Saint Peter won't call my name
Never an honest word
But that was when I ruled the worldLovers in Japan - Viva La Vida

Lovers, keep on the road you're on
Runners, until the race is run
Soldiers, you've got to soldier on
Sometimes even right is wrong
They are turning my head out
To see what I'm all about
Keeping my head down
To see what it feels like now
But I have no doubt
One day, we're gonna get out
Tonight maybe we're gonna run
Dreaming of the Osaka sun
Oh, oh
Dreaming of when the morning comes
They are turning my head out
To see what I'm all about
Keeping my head down
To see what it feels like now
But I have no doubt
One day the sun will come out42 - Viva La Vida

Those who are dead are not dead
They’re just living my head
And since I fell for that spell
I am living there as well, oh
Time is so short and I’m sure
There must be something more
Those who are dead are not dead
They’re just living my head, oh
And since I fell for that spell
I am living there as well, oh
Time is so short and I’m sure
There must be something more
You thought you might be a ghost
You thought you might be a ghost
You didn’t get to heaven but you made it close
You didn’t get to heaven but you made it close
You thought you might be a ghost
You thought you might be a ghost

Just because I'm losing
Doesn't mean I'm lost
Doesn't mean I'll stop
Doesn't mean I'm across
Just because I'm hurting
Doesn't mean I'm hurt
Doesn't mean I didn't get what I deserved
No better and no worse
I just got lost
Every river that I tried to cross
Every door I ever tried was locked
Oh and I'm just waiting 'til the shine wears off
You might be a big fish in a little pond
Doesn't mean you've won
'Cause along may come a bigger one
And you'll be lost
Every river that you tried to cross
Every gun you ever held went off
Oh and I'm just waiting 'til the firing's stopped
Oh and I'm just waiting 'til the shine wears off
Oh and I'm just waiting 'til the shine wears off
Oh and I'm just waiting 'til the shine wears offCemeteries of London - Viva La Vida

At night they would go walking till the breaking of the day
The morning is for sleeping
Through the dark streets they go searching to see God in their own way
Save the night time for your weeping, your weeping
Singing la la la, la la la eh
And the night over London, hey
So we rode down to the river where the toiling ghosts spring
For the curses to be broken
We go underneath the arches where the witches are in the saying
There are ghost towns in the ocean, the ocean
Singing la la la, la la la eh
And the night over London, hey
God is in the houses and God is in my head
And all the cemeteries in London
I see God come in my garden but I don’t know what He said
For my heart it wasn’t open, not open
Singing la la la, la la la eh
And the night over London, hey
Singing la la la, la la la eh
There’s no light over London todayLife in Technicolor - Viva La Vida
