Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. "I am nothing in the dark."

Answer: "Daylight"

"Yellow" is from their first CD, "Parachutes".

2. "Come back and look for me, look for me when I am lost."

Answer: "A Whisper"

"I hear the sound of the ticking of clocks. Come back and look for me, look for me when I am lost." Ironic how the song is called "A Whisper" when the music is so loud and somewhat menacing. "We Never Change" is from "Parachutes."

3. "Where do we go? Nobody knows."

Answer: "God Put a Smile Upon Your Face"

"Don't ever say you're on your way down when God gave you style and gave you grace. God put a smile upon your face." Good song. "High Speed" is from "Parachutes", and "Negative Creep" is a Nirvana song.

4. "So meet me by the bridge, or meet me by the lane. When am I gonna see that pretty face again?"

Answer: "A Rush of Blood to the Head"

"Meet me by the road. Meet me where I said. Blame it all upon a rush of blood to the head." I love, love, LOVE this song! "Shiver" is an absolutely MARVELOUS song from "Parachutes," I love it.

5. "Stuck on the end of this ball and chain, and I'm on my way back down."

Answer: "Amsterdam"

"Stood on a bridge tied to a noose, sick to the stomach. You can say what you mean, but it won't change a sin. I'm sick of the secrets. Stood on the edge, toed to the noose. But you came along and you cut me loose." This is my favorite Coldplay song...

It's so sad and depressing until the very last line... And the music is absolutely amazing as well. Also, Chris Martin dedicated this song to his father and Gwenyth Paltrow (they broke up), saying "For me dad and me lady."

6. "When the truth is... I miss you... Yeah the truth is... That I miss you so."

Answer: "Warning Sign"

"And I'm tired. I should not have let you go. So I crawl back into your open arms." I love this song... once it gets to the chorus it's so melancholy... Oh, and "Miss You Most (At Christmas Time)" is a song Mariah Carey wrote for her "Merry Christmas" album... Mariah Carey is my life...

7. "Shoot an apple off my head."

Answer: "Clocks"

The piano in this song is great. I love how so much of Coldplay's music is somewhat like Nirvana; I say that because the lyrics aren't direct. You usually have to SEARCH for the meaning. At the end the repeated "And nothing else compares" really makes you think and question what the song is really about.

8. "Honey, you are the sea upon which I float."

Answer: "Green Eyes"

Good song without many instruments; very honest and Martin bares his emotions well. All three of the other options are from "Parachutes."

9. "I was just guessing at numbers and figures."

Answer: "The Scientist"

The video for this song is the most amazing thing I've ever seen. The entire thing goes backwards, and Chris Martin actually learned how to sing the song backwards so that he could be in the video singing. (The video was shot in regular time with Chris singing backwards, so that when they put the video in reverse, it would look like he was singing it forward.) There's a great article on it here: http://www.mtv.com/news/articles/1472164/20030529/story.jhtml
Don't worry, it's totally clean!

10. "Give me time, give us a kiss."

Answer: "Politik"

The end of this song is great with the repeated "And give me love over, love over, love over this."
