A Head Full Of Dreams

Thank you for the LONG interview on page 30 gai. I loved to read it. And I love Chris even more now.


This is the poem that has changed Chris' outlook on life:


The Guest House (by Jalal al-Din Rumi 1207)

This being human is a guest house.
Every morning a new arrival.

A joy, a depression, a meanness,
some momentary awareness comes
As an unexpected visitor.

Welcome and entertain them all!
Even if they're a crowd of sorrows,
who violently sweep your house
empty of its furniture,
still treat each guest honorably.
He may be clearing you out
for some new delight.

The dark thought, the shame, the malice,
meet them at the door laughing,
and invite them in.

Be grateful for whoever comes,
because each has been sent
as a guide from beyond.

out next tuesday! can't wait for this! access over the last year!

i like how coldplay are giving exclusives to those who have been loyal and supportive to them over the years, like Q. and not the cynics who only report (a tad positively) on them in time for a major release or so (ehem, ehem, nme).

Chris Martin was formerly timid and introverted

Chris Martin (38, "Viva la Vida") has earlier perceived the hype in the music business as a burden. "I was anxious and introverted, yes. Today this is a bit different, "the Coldplay frontman told the magazine" Focus ".

"A large proportion of self-confidence comes from the knowledge that with Coldplay we are four true unity and can absolutely rely on each other." He was no longer a problem with it if someone does not like his band. "We have to apologize to anyone for what music we make."

The new Coldplay album "A Head Full Of Dreams" comes out on December 4.
