Everglow by Coldplay
This is the fourth track on the album "A Head Full of Dreams" by Coldplay. Overall this song tells the story of a love that is still stored in heart of someone despite having been separated from loved ones. Lyrically, this song was made by Chris Martin for ex-wife, Gwyneth Paltrow. This can be seen clearly from any lyrics written in this song. Moreover on this song, Gwyneth Paltrow played a role as backing vocals on request directly from Chris Martin. Although I understand that Gwyneth Paltrow had rejected a request from Chris Martin, but because of something she eventually would be backing vocals for this song. Gwyneth Paltrow knew that this song was created by Chris Martin for her, to recall memories they have ever built together.
This song is extremely leaving heartbreaking story. The first verse of this song to be opening this story. Oh they say people come. They say people go. This particular diamond was extra special and though you might be gone and the world may not know, still I see you celestial. A story begins with a meeting. But this meeting also has an endpoint, which separation. Chris Martin considers her like a special diamond that is very special. And though she would go, the world would not know, because he was still able to look at the light. Like a lion you ran. A Goddess you rolled. Like an eagle you circled. In perfect purple. So how come things move on. How come cars don't slow. When it feels like the end of my world? When I should but I can't let you go? The second verse of this song also began to add imagery to describe the feelings that are being felt by the main character. Sorrow for parting with a person very loved indeed very painful. It was like our world will end, as our lives are coming to an end. I can not let you go. We swore on that night. We'd be friends 'til we died. But the changing of winds. And the way waters flow. Life as short as the falling of snow. And now I'm gonna miss you, I know. But when I'm cold, cold. In water rolled, salt. And I know that you're with me. And the way you will show. And you're with me wherever I go. 'Cause you give me this feeling, this everglow. What I wouldn't give for just a moment to hold. Yeah, I live for this feeling, this everglow. So if you love someone, you should let them know. Oh, the light that you left me will everglow. The lyrics have become a climax in this song. In these lyrics are deepest feelings of the song's composer. From this lyrics we can understand the main reasons of this song was created and the main reason for the title of this song. 'Cause you give me this feeling, this everglow.
As in the first verse of this song, life is always preceded by a meeting. The meeting is the beginning of a story begins. The meeting is the beginning of the introduction process. From meeting we know someone. From meeting we determine the character of a person. Meetings taught us many things. The meeting is a moment that will be remembered by someone. Stories after the meeting becomes the next important story. This stage which becomes a long process of meetings. This stage is the stage of development of a relationship with someone, such as relationships. This stage is the stage of understanding one's personal character further. This stage becomes an important process that builds the foundation of a relationship. From this point we learn something important, namely caring. Once we learn the caring, we would have love to someone. This love can mean many things, such as affection to the opposite sex. This stage is an important moment in a person's life. When we begin to love someone and felt his presence in every breath. This moment will imprint on one's memory. This moment is hard to forget. As said in this song, life finally ended in separation, whether it be physical or spiritual separation. A parting spiritual namely when a person dies, while spiritual separation for example parting with someone for going somewhere. Parting is a sad story, especially separation of a loving relationship. As in this song, this song tells about the breakup of relationships. Memories that have been built would be a moment that can not forgotten just like that, perhaps the moment it will not be forgotten. Yet as that is life, there is a meeting and separation. Life still had to walk, the things that makes us become more and more mature.
"Everglow" revolves around a heartfelt piano riff. The track is written in the key of E Major at 73 BPM and a chord progression that alternates between C#m-A-E-G#m7 and C#m-A-E-B (ultimate-guitar.com). I think this song is fantastic. I think this song is one of the best songs in this album. I love this song, ranging from musical instruments until the lyrics of this song. This song teaches us many things. This song is recommended for people who recently ended a relationship with someone, but it should not be too protracted grief. This song is suitable heard when were relaxing, were studying, or as a lullaby. For more details, please see the lyrics below, check it out guys ;)
The Lyrics of Everglow by Coldplay
Oh they say people come
They say people go
This particular diamond was extra special
And though you might be gone
And the world may not know
Still I see you celestial
Like a lion you ran
A Goddess you rolled
Like an eagle you circled
In perfect purple
So how come things move on
How come cars don't slow
When it feels like the end of my world?
When I should but I can't let you go?
But when I'm cold, cold
When I'm cold, cold
There's a light that you give me
When I'm in shadow
There's a feeling you give me, an everglow
Like brothers in blood
Sisters who ride
Yeah, We swore on that night
We'd be friends 'til we died
But the changing of winds
And the way waters flow
Life as short as the falling of snow
And now I'm gonna miss you, I know
But when I'm cold, cold
In water rolled, salt
And I know that you're with me
And the way you will show
And you're with me wherever I go
'Cause you give me this feeling, this everglow
What I wouldn't give for just a moment to hold
Yeah, I live for this feeling, this everglow
So if you love someone, you should let them know
Oh, the light that you left me will everglow
