Yeah.
At times I can be somewhat dense, a bit of a thicker plank. It's important to delve deep, to figger things out. When touched by anything or anyone, it causes pauses. 😁
Dwelling on something until it's figured out why someone or something enters my path, catches my attention.
Musht Inveshtigate!
Wondering within & without why the music of this boyband touches me like it does.
Oh, the guys are, all four, insanely attractive, multi-talented, yet, there's more to it.
Their sexy British accents help.
They are, all 4, very humble, very honest, open, approachable, reachable. Those traits, being present in all members of a music band is so very rare.
They are so very different in so many good ways.
Good people. Imperfect, good people.
I remember the first time I heard The Scientist, so much truth, raw emotional confession of feeling. Confession that only one man has ever shown me, fully meaning it, with words from his heart.
He will remain a mystery to all until I see him again.
If you care to listen to this heartfelt, very touching song.

Come out to meet you
Tell you I'm sorry
You don't know how lovely you are
I had to find you
Tell you I need you
Tell you I set you apart
How touching is that?
The answer, deeply touching. The heart that this song comes from is, indeed, a beautiful heart. Guy or girl. Few people are so in touch with their feels that they can compose words with music like this.
Trillions of people, one planet, millions of musicians & composers.
The music of Coldplay (they were almost called Starfish!) is truly as unique as the musicians, themselves. Chris Martin often closes his eyes while performing. He's into it, he's swaying, bobbing his head, rocking to and fro in full hip thrusts working the pedals on the piano as he plays.
He's REALLY expressive.
By contrast, Jonny Buckland, has his moves. He moves slightly to the left, when playing guitar onstage, sometimes he moves very slightly to the right.
He's focused.
It's crystal that he and Chris are close friends. When Chris approaches Jonny during a performance, Jonny's smile lights up the stage!!!!! Especially during the song, Heroes, when Chris looks in Jonny's eyes, telling Jonny that if he could be King, Jonny could be Queen!
Akin to one dude asking another dude:
"Hey, how's your wife & my kids?"
Obviously joking. (maybe!)
Guy Berryman is just insanely hott - hott - hott! He is so focused, when onstage. He rarely looks up from his guitar. He's a guitar god! As a very stoic Scotsman, when he looks up, when he smiles, OH! Be still, my heart! Ladies ~ he's married. *sigh* I can still look.
Why does the music of this group touch me so very profoundly?
Easy answer.
Their words & music are as profound as the band members are.
They hold an element that is rare in today's world. Actually, they display many elements that are precious AND rare.
Honesty
Truthfulness
Sincerity
Humility
Kindness
Caring
Generous
Approachable
Music without bitches & ho's references
They sing of genuine feelings in such an original way that very few musicians do. Chris hits high notes, his voice sometimes cracks, he has been known to forget the words to a song.
This is when he stops, apologizes, admits, asks the audience if it's okay with them if he starts the song over.
It's all a part of his infectious charm.
The few times that Will Champion (drummer) has sang in one of Coldplays concerts, he killed it! He did such a great job! It makes me wonder if he might sing lead vocals more often in the future!
When Will is on drums he is REALLY working it, giving all that he has in his performance. Fascinating to watch.
This, along with so much more, is how Coldplay has touched my soul at a time in my life when I need it more than ever.
No one ever said it was easy.
No one ever said it would be this hard.
