Fix You
Artist: Coldplay
from: X&Y
We got two very different stories about Coldplay's massive hit "Fix You." The first came from Evan:
"I heard it for the first time when I tried magic mushrooms at age 19. It came on while I was sitting in the car with a friend in his driveway, and I remember just feeling how powerful it was. I could feel it and see it even. So I put the song on replay on the way to breakup with my boyfriend at the time so I would look sadder than I was. It worked."
We also got this powerful explanation from Holly:
"I have two sons who have been diagnosed with severe autism, and are both non-verbal. That was not always the case, they both suffered a major regression and lost their speech among numerous other skills. It was devastating to watch my children regress right before my eyes, and there was nothing I could do to stop it from happening. [This song] reminds me of how hard I have tried to help my children over come their diagnoses of "autism of the regress kind" I know my children are in there, and I will never give up helping them find their voice." www.npr.org/sections/allsongs/2015/05/19/406500138/the-songs-that-make-us-cry
