No, you mean the *original* era. This was what most people loved Coldplay for back in the day. What they eventually became was yet another money-making media monstrosity.
Lol no way, It's Mike Foster. Dude, you basically taught me how to cook via the internet when I moved out of my parents' house 7 years ago. 🙏 Thank you for that.
@@martyfriedman1881 Coldplay played Sparks a lot of times. In fact, the last time was before they started with AHFOD tour, in 2015. Before that, they played a lot of times in Twisted Logic Tour LATAM (2007)
So beautiful. So soft. I missed hearing them in a more acoustic tone. I love how all their instruments standout, specially Guy's bass but honestly for me, Chris' voice... it fills my heart... I can't quite explain it but no other voice makes me feel such range of emotions as his. Such a unique timbre.
AR M. I could not agree more with all that you said. I definitely think that Parachutes and Rush of Blood to the Head showed their talent as musicians more than any other albums, even though I think that Viva la Vida is their best over all, and Mylo has their best lyrics.
So glad they ended up playing this instead of viva la vida. Viva won the vote but all the comments were asking for Sparks which were from hardcore fans since they knew Sparks was hardly played live.
@@leob4403 because most fans are casual fans I guess? Idk that’s what I think. Not everyone knows what sparks is and would rather they play something everyone knows (well now a lot more people know thanks to tiktok). It’s mainly the hardcore fans that want them to play songs like Politik or Swallowed In The Sea again while most just want to hear them play a fancy guitar riff and have dancing monkeys.
@@ryanqkfcman while I appreciate Coldplay has many fans, some of them are really dumb lets be honest, they want to hear the same hit song over and over. I would vote for life is for living, daylight, life in technicolor II or twisted logic probably
I was listening to it yesterday and thought to myself ‘wow this is nearly 20 years old and I still love it’ normally i don’t like music that came out before I was born but with coldplay i can make an exception 😆
@@clarkclements7204 Which one? Personally,I haven't fully listened to anything after Viva La Vida, but this is my ranking for Coldplay on the 2000's: 4.X&Y 2/3. Parachutes+A Rush Of Blood To The Head (Can't decide yet, I've listened to arobtth more) 1. Viva La Vida But all of them are really great, and each and every one of them is better than any album after Viva La Vida.
Oh man, you have no idea how ecstatic I am to see this song resurface. I always feel like this song is so underappreciated since it's such a hidden gem. I remember the first time I heard this song and how I was instantly put under a spell by its beauty. There's just something about the acoustic, simplistic feel and the way you can hear Guy's fingers slide across the bass that just always draws me in. It means the world to me that others share a love for this song :) That's my little rant haha I hope whoever's reading this has a wonderful day. Thank you Coldplay.❤️
Dear Elisabeth ,Iam reading this and I feeling the same !! This music is very smooth and beautiful - I like this song sooo much -Thank you ,Coldplay ! LOVE !
Lyrics : Did I drive you away I know what you'll say You say, oh, sing one we know But I promise you this I'll always look out for you That's what I'll do I say oh I say oh My heart is yours It's you that I hold on to That's what I do And I know I was wrong But I won't let you down (Oh yeah, yeah, yes I will) I say oh I cry oh And I saw sparks Yeah I saw sparks And I saw sparks Yeah I saw sparks Sing it out La, la, la, la, oh La, la, la, la, oh La, la, la, la, oh La, la, la, la, oh
This song breaks me in a million pieces everything time I listen to it. I just lost my dog and although this song is about a relationship, my mind goes to my dog. My sweet little angel, I miss you everyday. My heart is yours, its you that I hold on to
This is one of those chill sounds that makes me such a Coldplay fan. Hypnotic and reflective. Mood music for my 5am commute and a jump start into a calm and positive new day....
Unbelievable. If you’re reading this and you were there. Lucky. So, so lucky. Not only is the live performance incredible but the atmosphere, the location, the lights. Wow. Being there in this intimate audience must be the most mesmerising thing possible. 🌙☀️
This is one of the songs I listened to on repeat when one of my best friends suddenly drifted away. A truly beautiful song that perfectly captured where I was in the moment. Thank you Coldplay for this.
Its perfect how the crowd just stood in silence and took the sing in. Singing along I bet would still make it amazing, but something about the pure silence just makes the song pop that much more from them
This song makes me feel sadness due to losing or not having something / someone and logically knowing it's time to move on but emotionally you still feel that loneliness and longing. It also reminds me of how I felt when the genre of style of Coldplay drastically changed from sombre , acoustic sounding to upbeat , festival music . . . I felt like they were a lover that just moves on without giving you closure 😕😕😕😕
I was packing my things on the second floor as It was my last day in our relationship. And he was singing this song on the first floor. I know he's been hiding his tears the past days since I told him that I'm leaving. But this song allowed him to cry, and I heart his emotional voice cracking and it made me burst out to tears on second floor. Even while I love him so much, I have to leave because he did drove me away. He just can't make up his mind and I ran out of patience and empathy for him. It was time for me to bring back the love to myself because he keeps wasting everything that I gave. If you happen to see this comment, I only wish the universe for our paths to never cross again because I don't want to get hurt anymore...
HOW DO THEY NOT PLAY THIS SONG OFTEN??? IM IN LOVE WITH THAT SONG!!! I can’t wait to see them live, I was too broke when they came to my city a few years ago
I’m just dropping in to say that I didn’t even watch the video yet, I just saw this title and the watched the thumbnail for a few seconds with no sound and still got goosebumps all over my body. Such a powerful song.
Listening to this for a little comfort after the girl of my dreams, an absolute angel of a woman had to move back home after we had spent the summer together. (It’s a long story) glad I found this live performance, always loved the song.
This song touches my heart ♥️ Parachutes was such a special album that will never ever get old. Love this era of Coldplay. Hope they play this next time I see them
My first time hearing this Coldplay song, and I'm falling in love with them all over again. Chris's voice is one of the best in the music business. 😂😂😂😂😂😂😍😍😍😍😍😍
One of the best Coldplay songs. I have a hunch they don’t play this song much because they don’t get the reaction that all the newer songs get. When bands get as big as Coldplay and they shift toward making energetic songs that make the crowds go wild, songs like Sparks suffer… Or maybe I’m wrong, people could be in tears in the crowd, who knows?
Did I drive you away? I know what you'll say You'll say, "Oh, sing one we know" But I promise you this I'll always look out for you Yeah, that's what I'll do I say "Oh" I say "Oh" My heart is yours It's you that I hold on to Yeah, that's what I do And I know, I was wrong But I won't let you down Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, I will, yes, I will I say "Oh" I cry "Oh" Yeah, I saw sparks Yeah, I saw sparks And I saw sparks Yeah, I saw sparks Sing it out
I’m so happy and grateful that I could hear this song in real life played by Coldplay💛 i wish i could go back and listen again and again. That was just incredible 💘
I get that when people pay to see Coldplay they want the yellows and fix yous etc. But everyone has heard these songs. I don't understand why they hold back on branching out to some of their other songs
![Goo Goo Dolls - Iris (Live in Buffalo, NY, 7/4/2004) [Official Video]](/img/n.gif)
This song is one of the gems from the old era of Coldplay
Its deep
Absolutely
Can’t agree more
But Coldplay evolved and making their music theirs instead of being a shadow of other musicians. That's inspiring (at least for me)
No, you mean the *original* era. This was what most people loved Coldplay for back in the day. What they eventually became was yet another money-making media monstrosity.
they need to play this one more often...
Unfortunately they wont they will probably stick to playing the sell out pop songs and not the gems on their first 3 albums
Lol no way, It's Mike Foster. Dude, you basically taught me how to cook via the internet when I moved out of my parents' house 7 years ago. 🙏 Thank you for that.
@@evangarry3525 Sell out pop songs? Are you dumb?
@@strikerbowls791 Their music after Viva La Vida definitely isn't of the same caliber as their first three albums.
@@strikerbowls791 he isn’t. Coldplay sucks now
Coldplay: *Never plays Sparks*
Fans: “Did I drive you away?”
I appreciate this pun 🥳🥳
Nice one

Have you ever loved someone who hurt you so bad?... That's what this song feels like to me, agonizing beauty.
I have... And the worst thing of it all is that she was the one who showed me this song...
I understand you !!

Well, you have Ghost Stories
Totally agree
Zach Beckman pretty accurate tbh

Actually they played both

Parachutes is still today a great album...coldplay's masterpiece. 2000: Almost 20 years ago and still their best record!
so true!

The bass is this song is so relaxing and sweet 😌
The magic of Guy Rupert Berryman ❤️
Learned it by heart, it's just so pretty
Coldplay: plays Sparks
Me: Everything's not lost.
Ah ah yeah
Parachutes best album
By far
I prefer Viva La Vida, but Parachutes is great indeed.
You mean their worst album?
@@clarkclements7204 Which one?

1. Viva La Vida

Nah man mylo xyloto all the way
Feels like a different band. This is their best stuff.
Sparks live performance? Wow, this is extremely rare. I loved it❤
here I am crying in my bedroom because this song has such a powerful way to makes us emotional, thank you so much for everything
one of my all time favorite coldplay songs 😍😭
This will be my wedding song someday, you'll see
same
Me too. I'm playing it because of Wedding Crashers. I'm also playing Shout by the Isley Brothers.
vale burgoa amen to that!!!
My friend had this at his wedding. I was pissed cuz now I can’t play it. For that reason I never get married
Ayo how's it going, hopefully you've found someone to call yours💜💖🔥🤠
Oh man I’m so glad they chose to play this. I hope they start playing some of they’re more underrated songs too.

Crying here.
Remembering when heard Coldplay for the first time in 1999.
You made me feel emotional and I wasn't even alive then. That's amazing
:(
Lyrics :
Did I drive you away
I know what you'll say
You say, oh, sing one we know
But I promise you this
I'll always look out for you
That's what I'll do
I say oh
I say oh
My heart is yours
It's you that I hold on to
That's what I do
And I know I was wrong
But I won't let you down
(Oh yeah, yeah, yes I will)
I say oh
I cry oh
And I saw sparks
Yeah I saw sparks
And I saw sparks
Yeah I saw sparks
Sing it out
La, la, la, la, oh
La, la, la, la, oh
La, la, la, la, oh
La, la, la, la, oh
I love how they listened to fans. It's so sweet. 💕 I love Sparks.

OMFG... THIS HAS BEEN ONE OF MY FAVOURITES SONGS...
This is one of those chill sounds that makes me such a Coldplay fan. Hypnotic and reflective. Mood music for my 5am commute and a jump start into a calm and positive new day....
This song and the album where it comes from is the main reason I still dig Coldplay after all this time.
Sameeee
Ive always loved Guy's bass line, beautiful beautiful
Coldplay, playing Sparks when everyone was pushing for Viva la Vida: “But I won’t let you down.”
They did play Viva la vida tho
Ugh coldplay has way more music than the song viva la vida....vote for one of those songs!
Personally i was dying to hear Sparks... maybe even Shiver as its one of my favorites from Parachutes
I wouldn't mind hearing Spies or even Trouble!
There's a song I think they will never play live and it's one of my favourite: For You.
Can't believe that this song was released 20 years ago. It really stood the test of time. Truly a coldplay classic ❤
Unbelievable. If you’re reading this and you were there. Lucky. So, so lucky. Not only is the live performance incredible but the atmosphere, the location, the lights. Wow.
Being there in this intimate audience must be the most mesmerising thing possible. 🌙☀️
I swear it felt unreal
Yafa Salameh you were there? 🙏🏼 that’s insane😰
Your pretty
2k ShoRtY wow thanks..I love your profile picture😉💚
15 min away from me and I couldn’t get tickets I regret not going to this day 😔😞
This and green eyes they should definitely be playing more often, some of their best none mainstream songs
yes green eyes!
Beautiful!
I wish they played this song more often.
Also 1.36 and cemeteries of london.
yes, yes, yes! (and also Yes)
@@SarahSchimidt Oh yes, of course, I love that one too
And Chinese Sleep Chant!
and high speed...basically is it too much to ask for a Parachutes 20th anniversary club tour?
Rony Quiñonez cemeteries of London live will be the best thing ever.
Imagine a crowd singing that song in unison
the best song ever, this audience was so lucky
Easily one of the best coldplay songs on easily the best album.
Edit: thanks for over 300 likes ❤️
They should really play it live more often before they play Yellow, like on the album.
eating sugar no papa HAHA
eating sugar no papa it’s not it’s from Parachutes.
Someone didn't get eating sugar no papa's joke lol
@Anson Hartzler I'd give that to AHFOD. That album only has like 2 memorable songs
This is one of the songs I listened to on repeat when one of my best friends suddenly drifted away. A truly beautiful song that perfectly captured where I was in the moment. Thank you Coldplay for this.
guy is literally out of this world what a beaut
This song is so emotive for me, takes me back to a special time in my life when I was younger man and full of vigor, now I'm jaded and bitter..
I love Sparks! Parachutes is my favourite album :D
Same!
:)
Me too
I could listen to that guitar solo at the end on loop for hours - simple but majestic
To the fans who took part in the poll. May you never be heartbroken in your lives ever again.
Its perfect how the crowd just stood in silence and took the sing in. Singing along I bet would still make it amazing, but something about the pure silence just makes the song pop that much more from them

Chris' vocals were impeccable here, amazing ❤️
His voice seems rested
Such a beautiful song, really nice to see them sing some old stuff
I was just wondering if they did this live and this comes out in my recommendations. *Im crying*
Incredibly jealous of the audience that night
Yeah me too. My absoly favourite on parachutes 🤩
This will forever be my fav coldplay song
I don’t think they think parachutes was their best work but come on it’s timeless. I’ve never heard a song that can touch shiver

I love how silent the crowd is. I’m so jealous of everyone there 😭 this song. This moment. ❤❤❤❤

ngl i would cry. The deepest song by Coldplay
His voice echoed when he said "I cry oh" at 1:33 and it was so peaceful and beautiful 🥺🥺❤️
Nostalgia.
OMG his voice!! One of his best performance, love it!!
The bass! Guy you the best💙💫
another beautiful haunting & mesmerizing lead guitar by Johnny.
Chris’s falsetto is actual GOLD 😭
One wish.. to have them play their old songs in a cafe with a small crowd, letting me cry my hurt and sorrow.. just sounds healing to my mama heart ❤😢
Everytime I feel sad, this song comes to my mind. Then I come here and listen it. I'ts like a drug for me.
Best Coldplay song ever.
"Parachutes " is my "First Love Coldplayalbum -and" my Heart is yours "!! LOVE 1!!
