Coldplay: The Best Song On Each Studio Album
3. Birds - A Head Full Of Dreams
Coldplay's work aims to reach all different kinds of emotions the human heart feels and experiences. The group often sticks with a certain theme all throughout each individual album. A Head Full of Dreams is mostly focused on the idea of hope and possibility.
The second song in the album, Birds, is full of life and energy. Guy Berryman contributes a mood-boosting tempo on the bass guitar as Will Champion's drums exude a sense of life. The lyrics themselves detail concepts of pushing through difficulty and standing together with others for strength.
The feeling throughout the whole song is upbeat and serves to lift the spirits of listeners, something Coldplay has been skillful at for many years now. The song perfectly demonstrates how their work has connected with fans ever since their first album.
The track's atmosphere is so well crafted, blending Coldplay's sound from their early work with the more energetic style of Mylo Xyloto.
The ending of Birds is especially powerful, as all the instruments increase in volume and strength as Chris belts out the lyrics. It's practically guaranteed to change the moods of listeners for the better.
