Hymn For the Weekend

    Artist: Coldplay

    Drink from me, drink from me (oh-ah-oh-ah)

    Then we’ll shoot across the (symphony)

    Then we’ll shoot across the sky

    Drink from me, drink from me (oh-ah-oh-ah)

    Then we’ll shoot across the (oh-ah-oh-ah)

    Symphony

    (So high, so high)

    Then we’ll shoot across the sky

    Oh, angels sent from up above

    You know you make my world light up

    When I was down, when I was hurt

    You came to lift me up

    Life is a drink, and love’s a drug

    Oh now I think I must be miles up

    When I was hurt, withered, dried up

    You came to rain a flood

    So drink from me, drink from me

    When I was so thirsty

    We’re on a symphony

    Now I just can’t get enough

    Put your wings on me, wings on me

    When I was so heavy

    We’re on a symphony

    When I’m lower, lower, lower, low

    Ah-oh-ah-oh-ah

    Got me feeling drunk and high

    So high, so high

    Oh-ah-oh-ah-oh-ah

    I’m feeling drunk and high

    So high, so high

    Oh, angels sent from up above

    I feel it coursing through my blood

    Life is a drink, your love’s about

    To make the stars come out

    Put your wings on me, wings on me

    When I was so heavy

    We’re on a symphony

    When I’m lower, lower, lower, low

    Ah-oh-ah-oh-ah

    Got me feeling drunk and high

    So high, so high

    Oh-ah-oh-ah-oh-ah

    I’m feeling drunk and high

    So high, so high

    ...

    Then we’ll shoot across the sky

    Background

    This single doesn’t feel like a typical Coldplay track. The tempo is a little too upbeat, the lyrics focused on feeling “drunk and high,” the verse packed with handclaps and brass sections. But somehow frontman Christ Martin manages to deliver a fresh, funky little tune which is sure to get toes tapping. It’s both dreamy and yet uncharacteristically jazzy.
