“Music Monday” Coldplay the documentary with pictures and videos (Part 1)

Coldplay Max Masters – Part 1 of 7

Uploaded on May 6, 2009

The ASTRA Award winning music documentary – Max Masters Coldplay – was voted MOST OUTSTANDING MUSIC PROGRAM for 2009.

Sarah Linton Productions and The Post Box produced the Max Masters documentary to coincide with the album release of ‘Viva la Vida’.

Chris Martin revealed in his interview with Howard Stern that he was rasied an evangelical Christian but he has left the church. I believe that many words that he puts in his songs today are generated from the deep seated Christian beliefs from his childhood that find their way out in his songs. His belief in being generous with charities, and the fact Coldplay’s songs  deal so much with death and the search for meaning and purpose of life (similar to Solomon’s search in Ecclesiastes), and  that our actions are being watched, and Chris describes different ways God tries to reveal himself to us, and many songs deal with trying to find a way to an afterlife and heaven, and he stills uses Christian terms like being “blessed” and “grateful.”

Up to this point many people may be saying that this is all based on some pretty flimsy evidence. However, one of the most revealing things came out when Chris wrote the song “Viva La Vida.” He had previously said he left Christianity because of the biblical view of eternal damnation but what does Chris do with the evil king in the song “Viva La Vida?”  Q Magazine asked Chris Martin about the lyric in this song “I know Saint Peter won’t call my name.” Martin said,  “It’s about…You’re not on the list… Its always fascinated me that idea of finishing your life and then being analyzed on it…That is the most frightening thing you could possibly say to somebody. Eternal damnation.  I know it. It’s mildly terrifying to me. And this is serious.”

Maybe we have not heard last of this journey from Chris?

In an interview with Irish online magazine Independent.ie, when asked if he was rediscovered God based on Viva La Vida or Death and All His Friendsspiritual content. Martin responded that he was still trying to figure out who “he or she or it is,” admitting he doesn’t know who is right, whether it is, “Jesus, Allah, Mohammad or Zeus Finally in a text message to the magazine’s interviewer, Chris Martin wrote that he is “Alltheist” a word he made up meaning “he believes in everything.”

Chris Martin heartbroken by parents’ split

Chris Martin is devastated over his parents’ divorce.

The Coldplay frontman is said to be finding it “incredibly difficult emotionally” to come to terms with the end of his mother and father’s 30-year marriage.

His father Anthony, 69, has put the family’s £1.25 million home in Exeter, South West England, on the market after his wife Alison decided to leave.

The family moved there in 1978 when Chris – the eldest of their five children – was just a baby.

Now retired accountant and magistrate Anthony is in a new relationship and Alison, 57, is renting a flat in London where she works as a music therapy teacher.

An insider said: “Chris has always been extremely close to his father, while some of his sisters have had very strong relationships with their mother. But watching his parents split has been heartbreaking for him, and he’s desperate to stay close and in regular contact with both of them.”

Chris, 33, has been visiting both his parents with his wife Gwyneth Paltrow but is finding it hard to see them live apart.

The source added to the Daily Mirror newspaper: “Chris visited his mother’s new place in London around a week ago, which was a strain for him emotionally. One of the most upsetting aspects of the break-up has been their decision to sell their family home. He was less than one year old when his parents moved in, and the house holds a lot of memories for him.”
