“Music Monday”:Coldplay’s best songs of all time (Part 14)
This is “Music Monday” and I always look at a band with some of their best music. I am currently looking at Coldplay’s best songs. Here are a few followed by another person’s preference:
My son Hunter Hatcher’s 7th favorite Coldplay song is “Major Minus.” He notes, “Not sure what to think of this yet. It’s so up and then down and then back up again. It almost makes you think too hard. That’s the beauty of it.”
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
Got one eye on the road and one on you

Here are the main points of the song.
1. Heaven is watching us constantly. (They got one eye on what you knew,And one eye on what you do)
2. We should be careful because what we do does matter to God. (And be careful when you’re walking in the view, Just be careful when you’re walking in the view!)
3. There are dangers in this world that you must avoid because they will eat you up.(Hear those crocodiles ticking ’round the world, Hear those crocodiles ticking (they go) ticking ’round the world )
4.Chris Martin’s plan is to keep one eye on the road ahead and one on the wife that he loves. (Got one eye on the road and one on you!)

These interpretations are based on the assumption that Chris is building on the theme of his last cd. We will have to wait and see what the rest of the cd sounds like. Feel free to share with me your thoughts.

+34when I listen to viva la vida I feel like I’m the king. All the sensations and emotions in this song make you directly enter the song as if you are the king
+15it is absolutely brilliant! I am completely in love with this song. It is so powerful and has so much meaning to it. Cold play definitely is the best band out there! It can’t get any better!
+13I feel like voting ALL their songs, but it wont allow me. coldplay’s one of the best bands that we have today! Can’t wait for more new material
+24come on no. 2 is not enough what the heck man vote for this song and listen to it you will not regret it I promise you all
+13one of the best songs from Coldplay! I love this song! full of meaning, and it makes me cry! they sang the song like they have something to say, something to prove.. and absolutely love the endung.. especially at the music video… where everybody sang the chorus… it really made me cry!
+12This is a wonderful song. It’s perfect. Every single person can relate to this song. Really listen, listen to what they are trying to say. Viva la Vida is a great song, but for me this is the best of Coldplay’s.
+12above and beonde amazing this song reaches to yu and makes want to go to sleep and tough the sky and also if you are a guy that really likes to listen to songs that make you calm this is by far the one for you.
+10The emotion in this song is raw and uncensored, it tells an amazing and beautiful story. It’s original and calming ; yet there’s something in the lyrics that stirs up emotions and memories.
+9Fix you is great too, but you can’t beat The Scientist
+13
i like how the sang the song. They had a nice and loving tune that almost make me cry. They are my best singers and I will never forget tem.
+8a song which has a powerful start and a great ending as well… piano used in a rock song… simply amazing..!
+7Awesome tune and nice and relaxing ! good Lyrics too
+14. . . its so emotional, really heart-felt, you can really tell Martin cares more about this song more than any of the others, and most importantly, it kickstarted COLDPLAY – it set the platform for all the other coldplay songs. . .!
+7oh god, I just dont understand how I lived me life up to now without this song just on in the background ❤ today me and my friends shared the love and walked around the school singing this and wow I was in heaven. let’s be honest here, whoever true song was to was lucky as to have a song like that – it is the themetune to my life ❤
+5by far the best song by coldplay… it needs to be at the top…
i bet anyone who listens to it once can leave it… he/she will have to listen it again and again…
+5Piano absolutely blows you away in the introduction. Oppose to the other songs made by Coldplay, this song excels at build-up and keeps climax until a dramatic end.
+2Great song.. with amazing lyrics… m lovin it.. it shoulkd be no.1 according to me..
+1omg how come this song is on number 6 cmon people this song deserve in top 2 atleat vote got itt

+6This song made me cry with joy the first time I listened to it. One of the highlights of “A Rush Of Blood To The Head”
+4I don’t think many real fans voted here. They just simply went with the popualair ones.
This song is just amazing.
+3this is one of those songs I go straight to when I feel like I’m stuck in life and have nowhere to go, as if I really were “in my place”. the melody and the “oh’s” in the chorus are enough to make anyone feel how much the band sympathizes
More comments about In My PlaceListen to sample
+8words can’t explain. it deserves to be in the top 5 cmon people vote!
+7Simple piano playing equals a brilliant chorus or bridge? (great song in other words)
+6I don’t want to cause ‘trouble’, but this song deserves to be higher than tenth position…
