When they first came out, all I could think of was how they were ripping off Jeff Buckley. Especially with this song - with the rolling guitar and voice. Nonetheless, they grew on me.
The start of the song is a new sunny morning. Chris is running through streets. He comes to a botanical garden & sees his lady sitting on her usual bench, reading a book about flowers. Chris is following the young lady because she's ignoring him. He tells her to not be afraid as she trembles in fear because he would not let go,if he had her heart. This song follows on from sleeping rough after Chris & his bandmates lose their homes. The young lady follows Chris to his refuge site after the song.
In 1998, four young men invented a new art form; a play performance with just music & voice. It was named COLDPLAY. The "COLD" part implying a rawness in terms of an emptiness to use one's imagination. After 5 fabulous LPs, COLDPLAY will be remembered as one of the greatest musical sensations of all time! It doesn't belong in any genre.
@lennonliv101 Only problem is that Coldplay is both of those things. Thus proving you can't like something based on groups of music, it's like people, you like who you like, not who fits into your standard. :D
@BeautiesUnknown Don't get much attension? there 2 albums viva la vida and death and all his friend, and x&y a in like the top 20 or somthing most sold albums ever!
@thecaffineman yeah, maybe, but how many kids do you see listening to songs other than viva la vida? thats basically the only song most kids know by them
@BeautiesUnknown Coldplay is mainstream, man. There's absolutely nothing wrong with being mainstream, as long as you're good. That just means that so many people love your music because it is awesome
Although I agree, mainstream also means "bands which work just as hard getting people to like them, as they do working with creating music". True though that quality is quality. Mainstream has just gotten a bad name on it
Why wouldn't you want Coldplay to be mainstream? They deserve such a large audience of people. They've worked hard enough and their music is amazing. Mainstream does not mean complete shit, and sometimes the good bands get the spotlight, which is great to finally see.
@BeautiesUnknown Hate to break it to you, but Coldplay is pretty damn mainstream. And why shouldn't they be? They've worked hard to get where they are. People seem to forget that making music is a JOB for them. You should WANT them to be successful.
This was the first ColdPlay song I ever heard, on the radio in 2003. I thought he said "sliver" insted of 'shiver". I looked for days for a song called "Sliver" and I couldn't find it! Then it came on the radio again and this time, the DJ said "that was Shiver by ColdPlay" I found the Parachutes album at my local bookstore and got it for 5 dollars. That was the best deal I ever made for a CD filled with legendary songs!

Idk why they named the album parachutes. Shiver is clearly the best song in the album and besides parachutes is barely even a real song it's only like 6 seconds long
@aspurr20 because the radio plays almost all the wrong songs.
honestly, im sick to death of that one coldplay song about the french revolution. coldplay has sooo many more, amazing and meaningful, heartfelt songs.
Greetings my coldplay fans. Isn't this music brilliant? Don't you miss their old style? Their 2 1st albums are their best. PARACHUTES & AROBTTH. I know i speak for alot of true coldplay fans. Now vlv is great but its more mainstream pop that's overly hyped. I really miss their old indie style. Copy and paste this to at least 5 of their songs on youtube, if you a true coldplay fan. Lets send them "A Message" and maybe their next would be old school and then they won't be accused of plagiarism.
Very true!
