OMG! This is truly crazy. My hubby is a huge fan of Cold Play. Once when I was majorly upset, he played me Fix You!!! So, I’m sending this to him right now..
A lot of people dig that song, probably because of the lovely message. And I can tell, it worked on you, too, right? 🙂
Surprising facts! Hahaha. Nobody recognized Chris? That’s so impossible!!!! Buttttt. Im so sad i wasnt able to buy a ticket. It was sold out so fast! I had fun reading this! And woohoo! Obama loves Coldplay!
Fascinating facts, right? Yes, it was sad for Coldplay fans who failed to get a ticket for the show. Hopefully, they’d return sooner so those who won’t be able to watch will get another chance.
For any coldplay fan out there, these are the things that would make them really happy. I like them but I’m not a huge fan. Don’t kill me. I’m a Tita. I just know a few songs.
I feel you. I do not know much about Coldplay, either. I only know 1 song, I think! Haha! I’m a tita, too! 😀
