X&Y by coldplay - Music Review

The lyrics of this album is pretty good with no bad words. The album starts off with the song "Square one". Square one is about someone who's stuck in the same old  mood and place. Their life just wouldn't be exciting or moving on. In other words they are trapped in square one. "What if " is the second song. This song talks about all the things that could go wrong and how to solve them. The third song which is " White shadows is about people missing opportunity and have lost something, then tries to make it up.Which every white shadow in this song represents. Here comes the forth, "Fix you". Fix you is basically about when you don't get what you want , rich your goals or whatever you wanted to do, never give up, someone could be there to help you and go through it together. Moving on " Talk" is the fifth song. When you can't get through or having trouble with something you should always talk to someone. If someone else is like that you should help them as well. If you paid attention to the title you'll know that the next song is the title of the album. " X& Y" is about going through something together and never let each other go ( love song). This next song will relate to all our lives. " The speed of sound" is the next song. It is about how fast life goes and if you miss something you'll never get it back, so you must not waste your life and treasure every good moments. " a massage " is the eighth song. It is basically about a person that trying to get  a massage (``I love you``) though to the person he loves. The next song called "Low" is about when your life is plain and you never know what's going to happen, until you try. This next song is super romantic called " Swallowed in the sea" which is about two people that belonged to each other and nothing could drive them apart. The eleventh song is "The hardest part" which is about when someone broke another person's heart. "Twisted logic" is the 12th song. That is about " Don't go after something that you don't belong too or something that will make you step back. If you don't then you'll step forward." Til Kingdom comes" is another romantic song. It is about a guy that waited a long time to be with a girl and she's everything to him. The last song is called " How you see the world" It is just your perspective of the world and all the good things and the bad things that happen and how you can take it. What a long album!

The mood of the album is mostly romantic songs.Because this album is dealt with love. For example ; X and Y, Til Kingdom comes and Low.  So, the songs may sound quiet most of the times as for other songs in this album sounds pretty exciting. Like I said in the beginning, there are no bad words in this album which makes it appropriate for the children and teenagers. That's also pretty impressive for an album with love songs in it. This is an album that is really creative.

The best part of this album is when I got to listen to "fix you". This is a song that explains " not everyone is perfect", but someone will help you to be " perfect ". Not only were the lyrics great, but the background music too. Also,in the song it says " lights will guide you home " . I think that means "follow your path to success" or" go for your dreams. This song was very encouraging and has a beautiful instrumental sound.

The worst part of the album is when the song "white shadows" came on. To tell you the truth I don't really understand it. So I had to read the lyrics over and over again, just to find out what they were trying to say. Another thing is that it talks about the white shadows at the first two verses and talk on to something else in the other verses, so it confused me a bit. That's why I thought this was the worst part of the album.

In my opinion, this album was really good. Simply because most songs in this album has awesome instrumental music and the lyrics were well written as well. So I suggest you listen to this album, it won't be as exciting at the beginning, but it will get really awesome so just be a little patient. If you are patient then you'll find out the goodness of this album, like the caramel in a chocolate. Have fun listening to this album!
