Everything can be said about later Coldplay stuff (everything after "Viva La Vida"), but this song stoods out as one of their best after 2008, just like "Ghost Stories" is a very underrated album of theirs.

Genuinely love this.

Coldplay is one of the few bands that can really draw me in to a slower song
