You might be familiar with the name Chris Martin and the band Coldplay. They are a band that has come from humble beginnings and have now risen to fame. Their quality of music, God bless them, is by far one of the best kinds that our generation has created.

Coldplay has touched the hearts and minds of many people all over the world. Though they have a predominantly sad tune to all of their songs, they still make their listeners feel like they're being given a big hug by someone quite close to them. If music soothes the soul, then Coldplay is quite the band of soothsayers.

1. High Speed

Their song High Speed is from their album Parachutes. This song brings about an air of coolness to its surroundings. It makes its listeners feel relaxed and laid back. High speed isn't like most of Coldplay's popular songs. It's not as sad and as emotional as one might think it to be. If you were to rate this song on a scale of one to ten, High Speed will definitely receive a rating of about 9. Give it a listen and see if this song is for you.

2. Shiver

If you're in love and you feel like your losing your shot at the girl of your dreams, this song is a definite pick-me up for you. It's quite brilliant how Coldplay managed to pull off creating a song with an upbeat tune with sad sounding lyrics. It's kind of like a different version of Frank Sinatra's Girl from Ipanema. This song is definitely the right one to listen to if you're in love. It gives you hope and perhaps allows you to hold on much longer and much tighter to the one that you love. It's really amazing how much one song can explain your emotions quite accurately.

3. The Scientist

If you haven't seen the movie Wicker Park yet, go to your nearest video shop and rent a DVD of it. You'll be surprised to find out that this movie has a Coldplay song in it. To their luck, their music was even used at perhaps the best and most awaited scene in the whole movie. The song, “The Scientist,” is perhaps best described as a bittersweet song. It makes you feel sad and yet happy at the same time.

4. Warning Sign

This is another song from Coldplay that has found its way into another movie soundtrack. This time this is featured in a movie called “The Last Kiss.” It features Zach Braff, Casey Affleck and many other talented actors. The song “Warning Sign” is still about love. It speaks of a situation wherein a person in love has done a huge mistake to his significant other. This song has a really sweet message and even sweeter lyrics. It's a great song that makes you realize how lucky it is to be in love and how hard it is to find it once you lose it.
