A Hurried Man's Guide To Coldplay, Before You Head To The Concert This Weekend

Your Coldplaylist if you please!

The 19th is nearly here. Yes, the only reason that date stands out loud and clear is because dear old Coldpay is finally gracing a stage in India. Officially, I might add, although it¡¯s still difficult to forget that damned night in 2015 when Mr. Martin broke a million hearts and burst into song at Delhi¡¯s Summerhouse Caf¨¦. But it¡¯s cool. Let¡¯s just be adults and let bygones be bygones.

Moving on, Bombay's MMRDA ground is getting set to host some 80,000 people for probably the biggest concert of the year. In fact, Chris Martin's landed in town to help with the planning and execution, given that he's one of the key curators behind Saturday's festival.

But I digress. If you¡¯ve ever been to a concert, any concert, you¡¯ll notice roughly two kinds of people ¨C those who are completely in sync with the performers, and those who are NOT QUITE in sync with the performers. Before I proceed, let me just clarify that none of these are good or bad; they just co-exist, and this is largely just an observation, and a little bit of a service.

The first bunch of people, who are in sync with the performers, essentially know and understand the performer like the back of their hand. They know every word, every note, every high, every low, and every feeling associated with a piece - flowing almost effortlessly from song to song with the artist on stage. The connection is electric and you feel wired instantly. Observe them and you'll feel them channel the energy from the song and the artist right in to you. It's one of the most beautiful feelings in the world.

On to the second bunch of people. This is the part of the crowd that¡¯s been dragged to said concert. These guys, for whatever reason, don¡¯t really follow the performer, and aren¡¯t as well versed with their nuances and acts. Often times they'll try hard to fit in, and let's be honest - it doesn't work like that with music.

But most importantly, this is a COLPLAY CONCERT we¡¯re talking about and god knows it¡¯s going to be mind-effing-blowing. And it¡¯s only fair that everyone in the audience is on the same page and hellbent on having a good time. Hell, it¡¯s everyone¡¯s duty in the audience to brush up on one of the world¡¯s greatest bands and their most iconic songs.

On that note, here's all that needs to be on your playlist for the next one day and a teensy tiny bit longer:

1. Yellow

Yellow was named after Chris Martin's eyes landed on a copy of the Yellow Pages. But that's not the only interesting thing about the song. Coldplay was offered $9million by Gatorade to use 'Yellow' in their commercial, but the band refused.

2. Shiver

3. Trouble

4. Amsterdam

5. Clocks

Coldplay added the song 'Clocks' to their A Rush Of Blood To The Head album as an afterthought.

6. In My Place

7. Strawberry Swing

8. Speed of Sound

Chris Martin wrote the song 'Speed Of Sound' to try and capture all his feelings about the birth of his daughter, Apple.

9. Viva La Vida

10. Every Teardrop Is A Waterfall

11. The Scientist

The video for 'The Scientist' was shot conventionally but edited in reverse. Martin had to memorise the phonetic movements of the vocals in reverse. In other words, he can sing the song backwards.

12. Adventure of a Lifetime

13. Green Eyes

14. Warning Sign

15. Yes

16. Magic

17. Violet Hill

'Violet Hill' was given away for free for one week. In that time, it was downloaded more than 2 million times

18. Hymns For The Weekend

19. Paradise

Coldplay gave Ellen Degeneres the head of the elephant suit used in their video for 'Paradise' on her show back in 2011.

20. Sky Full Of Stars

21. Always In My Head

22. Fix You

The song 'Fix You' was written as a present for Chris Martin's then wife, Gwyneth Paltrow, after the death of her father.

Enjoy the concert on Saturday, guys!
