I have to say… I adore this song. I definitely think the reason behind the beauty and the euphoric feel to their music is the seeking a greater good. I don’t think any of them are particularly religious or spiritual but I sense the presence of God a lot of times when I’m listening. It even brings me to tears when I’m especially drawn into it. Maybe its the huge part of me that so craves the goodness of what music brings. I love, love, love it.
Reign of love
I can’t let go
To the sea I offer
This heavy load
Locusts will
Lift me up
I’m just a prisoner
In a reign of love
Locusts will
Let us stop
I wish I’d spoken
To the reign of love
Reign of love
By the church, we’re waiting
Reign of love
My knees go praying
How I wish
I’d spoken up
Or we’d be carried
In the reign of love
I also somehow managed to get tickets to their London gig this December. Put a huge dent in my pocket but I’ve been dying to see them live for years.
PS: John is away this week and I’m missing him so much already. We are moving and its busy and kinda sad and I miss him especially when I listen to sweet lovey music like this.

I am in love with their new cd. something about Coldplay is they always make me *feel* – even their sad songs make you feel more than just sad… there is a depth and meaning to everything they do, I think.
you’ll be with your dear boy again soon
good luck with your moving!
now I have to put this song on
