The Wishlist: For The Love of Coldplay <3

I honestly think that although I have posted "my" wishes for the dreaded one-year-older day, this last one is the only indulgent wish I will ever make. I tried my best in coming up with a list that I think is still practical and could be bought by most of you dear lovers and friends...(when I could have been so indulgent since, anyway, its my birthday!) But for the love of Coldplay, allow me to induge in this one and only pleasure (which is more of a need actually...)

(Okay, I really don't want to bombard this post with a lot of pictures but I'm trying to send out a message here! Haha!)

A lot of you might be surprised to know that my favorite band is Coldplay. Or, you might actually be surprised that I have a favorite band! LOL. I usually come across as this pop star in the making because of how I appear but in fact, the music I enjoy the most is in the alternative genre. Being a diva, it's not always about how people see you but the substance within you as well. And I think that's how I loved alternative (and okay, rock), it can be as heart-wrenching or as wild depending on how you feel or how you want to feel. My first encounter with such kind of music is through my sister who listens a lot to it being the 90's girl that she is...So there was Pearl Jam, Nirvana, Radiohead, Collective Soul, and then a whole lot of them came out and very much exists now, even a lot of other music genres are inspired by them.


I was first Coldplayed back when Rockstar (Rockstar: INXS and Rockstar: Supernova) was still being aired. Lukas Rossi, one of the contestants from Supernova (who eventually became the winner but did not release anything with the band) was the one I didn't like the most but when he sang the song "Fix You" from Coldplay, I had goosebumps! I thought to myself right away that if this guy who I hated gave me the good shivers, how much more can the band who composed the song affect me? I knew I was to become a fan. And yes, I did.

So why Coldplay right? Why not Radiohead? Why the band who is being criticized as Radiohead's copycat? It's not really an extravagant answer. It's just that this band is the only band that I connect to the most. Their songs make me feel so much. In fact when I listen to them, I feel like something very personal is going on, it's like they're talking to me! They have written about almost everything or every emotion humans feel most of the time...Loss, love, pain, joy, and what have you. And how do I even begin with their lyrics? I don't know! It's simple but strong and very much real!

I guess I've made my point there. My last wish is any Coldplay item...be it official or unofficial, bought or made, any. A gift like this will really make my day that I might actually cry, hahaha! I'm okay if you don't make my other wishes come true, as long as there's at least this one. For the love of Coldplay, and for the love of me :) Thank you!

Viva la vida!
