Coldplay music video – White Shadows

Posted by Mike in Entertaining Distractions

Do you ever listen to an album and realize you just can’t get enough of one of the songs?

I felt this way towards a track on Coldplay’s 2005 X&Y album. The entire work is fantastic but “White Shadows” is a masterpiece.

Here’s a video set to this song:

The lyrics:

�When I was a young boy I tried to listen
And I wanna feel like that,
Little white shadows blink and miss them
Part of a system, I am

If you ever feel like something�s missing
Things you�ll never understand,
Little white shadows sparkle and glisten,
Part of a system, a plan

All this noise I�m waking up
All this space I�m taking up
All this sound is breaking up

Ooh oh ooh

Maybe you�ll get what you wanted
Maybe you�ll stumble upon it
Everything you ever wanted
In a permanent state

Maybe you�ll know when you see it
Maybe if you say it you�ll mean it
And when you find it you�ll keep it
In a permanent state, a permanent state

When I was a young boy I tried to listen,
Don�t you wanna feel like that?
You�re part of the human race
All of the stars in the outer space,
Part of a system, a plan

All this noise I�m waking up
All this space I�m taking up
I cannot hear you�re breaking up

Woaaooh

Maybe you�ll get what you wanted
Maybe you�ll stumble upon it
Everything you ever wanted
In a permanent state

Maybe you�ll know when you see it
Maybe if you say it you�ll mean it
And when you find it you�ll keep it
In a permanent state, a permanent state

Swimmin� on a sea of faces
The tide of the human races, oh
An answer now is what I need
I see it in the new sun rising and
See it break on your horizon, oh
Come on love, stay with me�

Mike
