O no, I see, I spun a web, it's tangled up with me
And I lost my head, the thought of all the stupid things I said
O no, what's this? A spider web, and I'm caught in the middle
I turned to run, the thought of all the stupid things I've done

I never meant to cause you trouble
And I never meant to do you wrong
And I, well if I ever caused you trouble
O no, I never meant to do you harm

O no, I see a spider web and it's me in the middle
So I twist and turn, gere am I in love in a bubble

Singing and oh, I never meant to cause you trouble
I never meant to do you wrong
And I, well if I ever caused you trouble
Although I never meant to do you harm

They spun a web for me, they spun a web for me
They spun a web for me

Parachutes and Rush of Blood to the Head are masterpieces. Everything since - not so much. I keep hoping that their “next” album will be back to the roots. So far, no bueno.

This was great when it came out, and still is.  new Coldplay I don't like and it has been stated that its NOW overproduced and I think that is what I dislike, but this has a feel good, nice place quality, as does the whole album.

Absolutely agree 100%. there was a sparser, more opened-up sound to those two albums.

This song reminds me of the instrumental version on the "Rockabye Baby" Coldplay compilation, which offered treatments of their songs as lullabyes for babies, or more for their hipster parents. I honestly like the lullabye versions way better than the originals - they are treated very well and the arrangements are lovely. So this song will forever remind me of my daughter, only weeks old, as I'm bouncing on the yoga ball holding her trying to get her to sleep. Happy belated Fathers' Day to all the pops out there.
 
Funny, the first few measures of this piece trigger the same kind of memories: me, sitting at the foot of my daughter's bed and humming this tune along with the Rockabye Baby CD to put her to sleep. {#Angel}   I like the song but I am so used to the lullaby version that I find this version hard to deal with. I also really have an issue with Chris Martin's voice (and the fact he doesn't always sing in tune).  The lullaby CD did however help me get an appreciation for his ability to write great melodies and arrangements .

They are just messing with you. I'm a songwriter and songs by Coldplay are genius. The lyrics are not so sensible but the melody is great.

I fell asleep and was woken up by this nightmare whining that sent me to sleep in the first place.  Yuk!  Don't often express such contempt - except for Coldplay and Phil Collins.

Haven't heard this in a while. I always liked "Parachutes". Too bad I can't find my copy of it anymore! Have to dig through my piles of CDs one more time when I come home.

Yes, and it's actually pretty pleasant until that little voicecrack as he goes to falsetto and then, at least for me, it goes from "nice, quiet, introspective" to wholly intolerable. Sorry, just can't get past those annoying vocals. Okay, I get it, he can hit high notes when he goes to falsetto. Just because you CAN do something, doesn't necessarily mean you SHOULD. Just my humble opinion, but you asked...

Whenever I hear the opening piano notes my heart lifts--an REM song I don't know! Then reality sets in: another Coldplay song. Sigh.

Posted 18 years ago by Shesdifferent    [ Reply ]
I really can't understand why there is SO much comparison, negative or not, between these guys and U2. Yes - they can sound very similar, but there are so many thousands of other bands out there that sound alike, in all music genres!! Who really cares THAT much. And if you do - surely listening to just about every tune in RP (or anywhere else) would invoke similar angst towards whoever the hell sounds like them too! How many TRULY unique sounds are there?

The opening strains of piano just wrenched me emotionally from everything on which I was working... That kind of rection to this amazing song earns it a 10.

Different album ladyj. Trouble's from their first album Parachutes. This was the song that first made me fall in love with Coldplay. Beautiful vocals.

Is very nice to have a band around that is this good. Let's hope they have longevity. The vocals make me think how nice it would be if Jeff Buckley were still with us.
