A Sky Full Of Stars

Released in 2014 on the album Ghost Stories

You’re a sky full of stars
Such a heavenly view
You’re such a heavenly view

A Message

Released in 2005 on the album X&Y
A message is a song for lovers who don’t have a fairytale love relationship. If you have gone through tough times and are better together, then this is a song to tell your story.

My song is love
My song is love I know
I’m on fire for you
Clearly, you don’t have to be alone

Us Against The World

Through chaos as it swirls
It’s us against the world

The Scientist

The song speaks of a man’s desire for love… from his beautiful bride!!??

This, I guess
Is to tell you you’re chosen out from the rest

Reign Of Love

A great song for the processional – the song playing as the bride walks down the aisle.

Lyrics to Love:

Reign of love
By the church, we’re waiting
Reign of love
My knees go praying

Parachutes

I’ll be round

Viva La Vida

Released in 2008 on the album Viva la Vida or Death and All His Friends
Viva La Vida is Spanish for “Love Live Life”. Viva La Vida is Coldplay’s only song to reach the Billboard Hot 100. Probably the most recognized Coldplay song for those that are not Coldplay followers.

Lyrics to Love:

Once you’d gone, there was never
Never an honest word
And that was when I ruled the world

Magic

Released in 2014 on the album Ghost Stories
It is about a couple who come together and fall apart. Not the perfect love song for weddings but it takes magic to bring them together.

Lyrics to Love:

Call it magic
Call it true
Call it magic
When I’m with you

Yellow

Released in 2000 on the album Parachutes
Yellow makes for a great processional, recessional, or ceremony accent song.

Lyrics to Love:

I came along
I wrote a song for you
And all the things you do
And it was called yellow

Fix You

Released in 2005 on the album X&Y

Lyrics to Love:

High up above or down below
When you’re too in love to let it go
If you never try you’ll never know
Just what you’re worth

My heart is yours
It’s you that I hold on to

Something Just Like This

Released in 2017 on the album Memories…Do Not Open
A great mid-tempo song to play as a background song while quests are eating or during cocktail hour.

Lyrics to Love:

I’m not looking for somebody
With some superhuman gifts
Some superhero
Some fairytale bliss
Just something I can turn to
Somebody I can kiss
