Riff: Coldplay – “Midnight”

Apr 28, 2014

In the darkness/Before the dawn/Leave a light, a light on/Leave a light, a light on

from Midnight lyrics by Coldplay

Whimsical and full of sepia tones, a blur of emotions that seem to carry with it the weight of the world. It gets a little trancey at times, especially as it winds down, but nothing that’ll deter diehard fans from buying in. It was an earth rattling divorce and he’s waiting for a new dawn to emerge.
