Coldplay

Op 18 juni komt Coldplay met Every Teardrop Is A Waterfall binnen op 8 in de Top 40. Het is hun 13e Top 40 hit en 7e top 10 hit. De track bevat een sample uit I Go To Rio van Peter Allen. Peter Allens I Go To Rio kwam in 1978 niet verder dan de 27ste plaats in de Nederlandse top 40. Het is niet de eerste keer dat het nummer gerecyclet wordt. Het ‘pianoriffje’ werd eerder al verwerkt in Ritmo De La Noche, welk nummer in 1990 in drie versies de Top 40 haalde: Chocolate (#8), Lorca (#24) en Mystic (#29).

Coldplay werd opgericht in 1996 in Londen. De groep bestaat uit zanger, pianist en gitarist Chris Martin, leadgitarist Jon Buckland, bassist Guy Berryman en drummer Will Champion. In augustus 2000 bereikte Yellow de tipparade. In november kwam Trouble tot #38. Talk stond in 2004 vier weken aan kop, Viva La Vida stond in 2008 drie weken bovenaan. De single hield het 31 weken uit. In Vlaanderen is Coldplay minder populair. Slechts drie singles haalden de top 15: Violet Hill (#10 in 2008), Viva La Vida (#4 in 2008; wel 38 weken notering) en Christmas Lights (#9 in 2010). Clocks haalde slechts tip 2 en Talk #16.

Coldplay - Every Teardrop Is A Waterfall
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
I feel my heart start beating to my favorite song

And all the kids they dance, all the kids dance 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

I turn the music up, I got my records on
From underneath a rubble, I sing a rebel song
Don't want to see another generation drop
I'd rather be in a coma, than in 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

And we saw, ooh, this light
I swear you, emerge blinking into
To tell me it's alright
As we soar walls, every sirene is a symphony
And every tear's a waterfall, is a waterfall, oh
Is a waterfall, oohh, is a waterfall, ooh
Every tear is a waterfall, oohh

So you can hurt, hurt me bad
But still I'll raise the flag

It was a wa, wa, wa, wa, waterfall
A wa, wa, wa, wa, waterfall

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 waterfall

Every tear, every tear
Every teardrop is a waterfall
