On a somewhat related note, Coldplay are certainly no strangers when it comes to religion, whether it’s with references in songs such as “Viva La Vida” and “Violet Hill”, or on a personal level. Despite this, I still like to think that the song and its lyrics can be interpreted differently, or at least, mean something to someone in a way that makes sense, even though that was never what they were thinking about when the song was written.

Many believe that he's singing about an affection for a person who is not reciprocating the same feeling, and this makes sense seeing as the “Ghost Stories” album was inspired by Chris' collapsed relationship with and separation from Gwyneth Paltrow. Chris Martin has revealed that the song is simply about unconditional love for someone no matter what ups and downs are encountered when they're together. But soon after, I started listening more to the lyrics and paying closer attention to them, and I began to wonder, could this be a song about God? As it turns out, this was never the band's intention. At first, I loved it for the instrumentation and Chris Martin's vocals, both of which I find very infectious. Recently, I've been returning to the song and started listening and admiring it in a very different way than before. It was one of my favourite songs of 2014. After all, it was produced by Avicii and has his signature sound written all over it. The song tended to divide opinion as many praised its anthemic sound, but criticized the fact that Coldplay has entered dance music territory with it.

The album was a drastic deviation from anything the band had ever done and it's all too common for long-time fans of a band to feel alienated when they go in different directions with their music. Both the album and song received a mixed reaction and understandably so. In 2014, Coldplay released their sixth album, “Ghost Stories”, featuring the song “A Sky Full of Stars”. Something very different from me now, but something I've wanted to talk about for a while.
