Coldplay – Life In Technicolor II
“Life In Technicolor” is the latest single from Coldplay. This version of the song is only available on the “Prospekt’s March EP” which, was released late last year. Many of us know this song as the largely instrumental start to the album. The song feels natural in the expanded format as the song always seemed like it was never properly finished without the lyrics. The band just seem to be riding this wave lately as they have been really churning out some top tunes. There is something about this track that is so big and floating that maybe Chris Martin had something to his line about his “feet won’t touch the ground.’ I swapped this version out on “Viva La Vida” and it was a great way to listen to the album. It is certainly worth a go.
