It’s a fix up
From the BBC: this is funny, unbelievable and truly scary:
Coldplay lead the field at this year’s prestigious Ivor Novello songwriting awards with three nominations.
Speed of Sound is up for international hit of the year and most performed work, while Fix You is nominated for best song musically and lyrically.
Pitchfork wrote this about X&Y: “X&Y is sequenced fast-song/slow-song through almost its entire running order, which means those of you uninterested in wading through doe-eyed love songs based on lazy rhyming couplets and trite resolutions have already lost half a disc’s worth of music… Like Coldplay’s two previous albums, only more so, X&Y is bland but never offensive, listenable but not memorable”.
