Coldplay: The Hidden Stories And Meanings Behind Every Song on 'Parachutes' Revealed There are whispers that Coldplay's next album, 'A Head Full Of Dreams', will be their last. But 15 years ago this week, Chris Martin's band released their very first LP - the majestic and subtle 'Parachutes'. It kickstarted their rise into one of the planet's biggest bands - but what is each track really about? Here's a guide.. 'Don't Panic': An early version of the dreamy, downbeat opener of 'Parachutes' had been around since 1998. Only then, it was called 'Panic' and inspired by "slightly disastrous evening Chris had spent entertaining a young lady called Alice Hill." A reworked version was recorded for 1999's 'The Blue Room' EP, and then retooled again for 'Parachutes', with added use of a pump organ to boot. 'Shiver': Inspired by a mysterious woman who Martin was infatuated with, 'Shiver' also betrays the frontman's obsession with another figure: US singer Jeff Buckley. He later admitted: "It's a blatant Jeff Buckley attempt. Not quite as good, that's what I think. We were 21 and he was very much a hero, and as with those things it tends to filter through."
