The idea

Inspiration

The album was promoted with the words "Everyone is an alien somewhere", which, according to the drummer of the band Will Champion, was about persons look to what unites them, not to what separate them.

The idea for a space-themed album had been envisioned by the band since 2010, when vocalist Chris Martin proposed a project to build a "solar system".

This project eventually led to the creation of the universe for Coldplay’s 2011 album Mylo Xyloto, which later also inspired the Music of the Spheres universe.

According to vocalist Chris Martin, the album was inspired by the Star Wars film franchise.

Coloratura We fell in through the clouds And everyone before us is there welcoming us now It's the end of death and doubt And loneliness is out
Coloratura The place we dreamed about The melodies inside yourself And love come pouring out And everyone's allowed We're feathered by the crowd
And up there in the heavens Galileo and those pining for the moon Know it's a slow burn Through Pioneer and Helix Oumamama, Heliopause, and Neptune We're a slow burning tune But we'll get there
So for now In this crazy world, I do I just want you
In the end, it's all about The love you're sending out
And up there in the heavens The explorers who've all gathered by balloon Saw the world turn Through Voyager, Callisto, Calliope Betelgeuse, the neon moons We're a slow burning tune But we'll touch down soon
So will you And in this crazy world, I do I just want you
And up there in the heavens Galileo saw reflections of us too Pluribus unum, unus mundus And all the satellites imbue The purple, yellow, green, red, orange and the blue Oh, it's a crazy world, it's true Sing it out
Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh
And in this crazy world, I do I just want In this crazy world, it's true I just want you
Poets prophesy up in the blue Together, that's how we'll make it through

The closing track of the album "Coloratura" was universally praised. It is the longest song ever released by the band, running at 10 minutes and 18 seconds.

coloratura

The only component in a human that does not follow the laws of nature is our mind.

Coldplay sings of a great beyond — a place of beautiful mysticism and no logic binds your imagination. In this sphere, your mind is free, and this is exactly the kind of atmosphere the melody to this song creates.

"Coloratura" has received universal acclaim from critics: «The song might be the most dazzling thing Coldplay have ever done, a sprawling Pink Floyd-esque experiment which pays off infinitely».

Nobody said it was easy No one ever said it would be this hard
Oh, take me back
to the start
