A lot of the time there is a lot of melancholy in the lyrics.
I think hopefully we've got enough brain cells left to decide if our music is really worth something.
The first time we all played as a band, I think it was in January 1998, in Jonny's bedroom.
Coldplay are just four friends trying to make great music.
Two weeks later, we played our first concert and had 100 people there. It was pretty cool.
I started listening to The-Dream a lot. That's when I really got into writing songs. I like the way he put lyrics and makes his songs. So I was like, 'All right,' and I just started writing. That's when I started wanting to be a songwriter.
I don't like lyrics that are just thrown together, that were obviously written as you went along, or the song was already written and the guy made up the lyrics in five minutes.
I actually find a lot of pleasure in writing lyrics.
When I write a song, the music comes from my spirit, which is very playful and optimistic, but then the lyrics come from my head, which is in a different space.
I've always wanted my lyrics to say something meaningful and, you know, you always want to tell a message with your art. So yes, as I continue to write music, I will write about things that are real and things that I feel aren't written about a lot.
