They have won the Grammy Awards for the Best Rock album, Record of the year, Best rock performances and more. They have also won eight Brit Awards, five MTV Video Music Award, and they have sold over 60 million records worldwide. Their album Parachutes (1999-2001)  was their first ever album and on it is their first four hits, Don't Panic, Yellow, Shiver, and Trouble. Coldplays' albums from after that include(in order) A rush of Blood TO the Head (2001-2004), X&Y (2004-2006),Viva la Vida or Death and All His Friends (2006-2009),Mylo Xyloto (2009-2012), and their most current album, Atlas (20012-present). My dad and i are huge Coldplay fans and we have their albums Parachutes and X&Y. I love all songs of theirs and its impossible to pick a favorite song.

Clocks                                                                                    

The lights go out and I can't be saved
Tides that I tried to swim against                                    
Have brought me down upon my knees
Oh I beg, I beg and plead, singing

Come out of things unsaid
Shoot an apple off my head and a
Trouble that can't be named
A tiger's waiting to be tamed, singing                       

You are
You are

Confusion never stops
Closing walls and ticking clocks 
Gonna come back and take you home
I could not stop that you now know, singing

Come out upon my seas
Cursed missed opportunities 
Am I a part of the cure?
Or am I part of the disease? Singing

You are, you are, you are 
You are, you are, you are

And nothing else compares
Oh nothing else compares
And nothing else compares

You are 
You are

Home, home where I wanted to go 
Home, home where I wanted to go
Home, home where I wanted to go                                                    Speed Of Sound
Home, home where I wanted to go
                                                                                        How long before I get in?
Before it starts, before I begin?
How long before you decide?
Before I know what it feels like?
Where To, where do I go?
If you never try, then you'll never know.
How long do I have to climb,
Up on the side of this mountain of mine?

Look up, I look up at night,
Planets are moving at the speed of light.
Climb up, up in the trees,
every chance that you get,
is a chance you seize.
How long am I gonna stand,
with my head stuck under the sand?
I'll start before I can stop,
before I see things the right way up.

All that noise, and all that sound,
All those places I got found.
And birds go flying at the speed of sound,
to show you how it all began.
Birds came flying from the underground,
if you could see it then you'd understand?

Ideas that you'll never find,
All the inventors could never design.
The buildings that you put up,
Japan and China all lit up.
The sign that I couldn't read,
or a light that I couldn't see,
some things you have to believe,
but others are puzzles, puzzling me.

All that noise, and all that sound,
All those places I got found.
And birds go flying at the speed of sound,
to show you how it all began.
Birds came flying from the underground,
if you could see it then you'd understand,
ah when you see it then you'll understand?

All those signs, I knew what they meant.
Some things you can invent.
Some get made, and some get sent,
Ooh?
Birds go flying at the speed of sound,
to show you how it all began.
Birds came flying from the underground,
if you could see it then you'd understand,
ah, when you see it then you'll understand?
