Coldplay Songs
British rock band Coldplay have recorded over 178 songs throughout their career. They were formed in London by Chris Martin (lead vocals, piano), Jonny Buckland (guitar), Guy Berryman (bass guitar), Will Champion (drums, percussion) and Phil Harvey (creative direction). With exception of the latter, all members are equally credited as songwriters of each track. They explored many music styles as the years went by, developing a sound that is considered alternative rock, alternative pop, pop rock, post-Britpop, soft rock, and pop. The band released two extended plays in the late 1990s, ''Safety'' (1998) and '' The Blue Room'' (1999), with both having characteristics of dream pop that settled them apart from future releases. Their debut album, ''Parachutes'', was then released in July 2000. Berryman described it as "a quiet, polite record", with Scottish band Travis and American singer Jeff Buckley serving as primary influences. It drew comparisons to Oasis and Radiohead as we ...

Don't Panic (Coldplay Song)
"Don't Panic" is a song by the British rock band Coldplay. Originally titled "Panic", the earliest known version of the song existed in 1998, performed live during the band's first gig in the same year. It had a different melody, and was included in the band's third EP, '' The Blue Room''. The track was reproduced by Coldplay and British producer Ken Nelson for the band's debut album, ''Parachutes''. Following their successful releases in 2000, Coldplay and their record label Parlophone thought there was enough exposure of the album in the United Kingdom. Thus, the decision of releasing a fourth single would be for regions that had not been overdosed by the hit singles "Yellow" and "Trouble". They settled on "Don't Panic", which at the time was an audience favourite. It was released in some European regions, and the United Kingdom only received a promo edition. The critical reception of the song was generally positive. Origins and production "Don't Panic" came into exist ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
