Gosh, haven’t had a ‘Song of the Week’ for a while. Sorry about that…

Here’s ‘Life is for Living’, live in Sydney from 2003. Originally, Coldplay this song was recorded unfinished. Chris managed to finish it and boy did he do a great job or what? It has a glorious crescendo with Jonny Buckland’s wailing guitar, which rises to an anthemic chorus, that just makes your heart burst with joy. Marvellous.

Now I never meant,
To do you wrong,
That’s what I came here to say.

But if I was wrong,
Then I’m sorry,
I don’t let it stand in our way.

As my head just aches,
When I think of,
The things that I shouldn’t have done.

But, life is for living,
We all know,
And I don’t wanna live it alone.

Sing,
Ah, ah, ah,
Sing,
Ah, ah, ah,

Yeah I sing
Ah, ah, ah.

Cause in the end
There’s only us
And oh my friend
There’s only love

In a cave
They’re timing us
Cause in the end
There’s only love

Here’s another version from the 2002 Glastonbury Festival [slightly different words]
