Magic Lyrics

Call it Magic, call it true
I call it magic when I'm with you
And I just got broken, broken into two
Still I call it magic, when I'm next to you

And I don't, and I don't, and I don't, and I don't
No I don't, it's true
I don't, no, I don't, no, I don't, no, I don't
Want anybody else but you

I don't, no, I don't, no, I don't, no, I don't
No I don't, it's true
I don't, no, I don't, no, I don't, no, I don't
Want anybody else but you

Ooh ooh ooh

Call it magic, cut me into two
And with all your magic, I disappear from view
And I can't get over, can't get over you
Still, I call it magic, such a precious truth

And I don't, and I don't, and I don't, and I don't
No I don't, it's true
I don't, no, I don't, no, I don't, no, I don't
Want anybody else but you

I don't, no, I don't, no, I don't, no, I don't
No I don't, it's true
I don't, no, I don't, no, I don't, no, I don't
Want anybody else but you

Wanna fall, I fall so far
I wanna fall, fall so hard
And I call it magic
And I call it true
Call it magic

Ooh ooh ooh
Ooh ooh ooh
Ooh ooh ooh
Ooh ooh ooh

And if you were to ask me
After all that we've been through
"Still believe in magic?"
Well yes, I do
Oh yes, I do
Oh yes, I do
Oh yes, I do
Of course I do

Magic

The lead single from Ghost Stories is an intimate meditation on love sung by Chris Martin over minimalist, bass heavy instrumentation.

"Call it magic
Call it true
Call it magic when I'm with you."

The song was recorded by Coldplay in 2013 during sessions for Ghost Stories at their purpose-built studios, The Bakery and The Beehive in North London.

The artwork for the release depicts a white dove imposed onto a blue canvas. It was done by British etching artist Mila Fürstová, who also created a pair of wings in the shape of a broken heart for the Ghost Stories album cover.

The song's music video was directed by Jonas Škerlund, who has previously worked with Madonna, Lady Gaga and U2. The Swedish filmmaker and video director's best known achievement is his Grammy-winning contribution to the promo of Madonna's "Ray Of Light."

The clip stars Ziyi Zhang (Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon) as a "beautiful young magicienne" in a 1920s traveling circus, with Chris Martin doubling up as both her loyal assistant and jealous husband.

Explaining the song to BBC Radio 1's Zane Lowe, Martin said: "It's not a question of you either really love someone or you really hate someone, it's more nuanced than that - especially with the modern world's complications - like traveling and all the stuff that comes to life, and illness and addiction and all that sort of thing."

It's just saying," he added, "ultimately there is magic between two people no matter what anyone else thinks."

Martin told Zane Lowe that the song came from a jam with the rest of Coldplay, making it one of the first band's songs not kick-started by the frontman himself.

A Sky Full Of Stars Lyrics

'Cause you're a sky, 'cause you're A Sky Full Of Stars
I'm gonna give you my heart
'Cause you're a sky, 'cause you're a sky full of stars
'Cause you light up the path

I don't care, go on and tear me apart
I don't care if you do, ooh
'Cause in a sky, 'cause in a sky full of stars
I think I saw you

'Cause you're a sky, 'cause you're a sky full of stars
I wanna die in your arms
'Cause you get lighter the more it gets dark
I'm gonna give you my heart

I don't care, go on and tear me apart
I don't care if you do, ooh
'Cause in a sky, 'cause in a sky full of stars
I think I see you
I think I see you

'Cause you're a sky, you're a sky full of stars
Such a heavenly view
You're such a heavenly view

A Sky Full Of Stars

This song was recorded during the sessions for Ghost Stories with Avicii. The Swedish EDM artist was invited by Chris Martin to play the piano and his imprint can be heard on the song's majestic piano lines. Speaking with BBC Radio 1 DJ Zane Lowe, Martin, who usually tinkles the ivories on Coldplay's recordings admitted he felt like he was cheating on the band when he asked the Swede to play the piano instead of him.

Chris Martin said on Fuse: "What that song represents on Ghost Stories is the release after you've climbed the mountain - after you've done anything challenging. That's why that song is so unashamedly happy and danceable: because that's what it needed to be. I love singing it. I know we didn't break the mold, but it's just so fun to play."

A house-influenced piano-centric song with pounding bass drum, this is the closest Coldplay have come to recording a dance track.

Avicii also produced the track along with the band and Ghost Stories producers Paul Epworth, Daniel Green and Rik Simpson.

The song received its TV première on the April 29, 2014 episode of BBC 2's Later... with Jools Holland and four days later the band performed it on Saturday Night Live.

Martin told the hosts on The Kevin & Bean Show that after coming up with the idea for this song, he did something different. "What happens with our songs generally is that they get sent from the universe, however they come," he said. "I don't know where they come from, in the middle of the night they come through and I take it to the rest of the band and it gets layered up, like a car being built or something."

But this time around, he took the song straight to Avicii and had it produced by the Swedish EDM mastermind.

This was the last song Coldplay added to Ghost Stories and the band appreciated the "fresh injection" by Avicii. "The rest of the band was very gracious, as usual," Martin told Kevin and Bean. "So they said, 'We trust you and let's keep rolling.'"

Filmed by movie director Mat Whitecross (The Road to Guantanamo, Sex & Drugs & Rock & Roll, The Shock Doctrine), the song's music video shows Chris Martin walking through King Street in Newtown, Sydney kitted out like a one-man band, before being joined by the rest of Coldplay. 250 fans were also invited to march from Newtown's Courthouse Hotel.

Speaking during a Beat x Beat webcast, Chris Martin explained how the song was created. "It needs to be about unconditional love," he said. "There will be a point where you'll be like, 'OK, I got that out of my system. Now let's go dancing.'"

Martin added that he was listening to Katy Perry's music when he was writing Ghost Stories. He borrowed the way the Californian songstress' tunes have a repetitive chord pattern with a sing-along melody over the top for this track.

True Love Lyrics

For a second, I was in control
I had it once, I lost it though
And all along the fire below would rise

And I wish you could have let me know
What's really going on below
I've lost you now, you let met go but one last time

Tell me you love me, if you don't then lie, oh lie to me

Remember once upon a time, when I was yours and you were blind
The fire would sparkle in your eyes and mine

So tell me you love me, if you don't then lie, oh lie to me
Just tell me you love, if you don't then lie, oh lie to me
If you don't then lie, oh lie to me
And call it true, call it True Love
Call it true, call it true love

True Love

Coldplay's Ghost Stories album was inspired by the disintegration of lead singer Chris Martin's marriage to Gwyneth Paltrow, his wife of 11 years. This song finds Martin missing the passion they had at the beginning of their relationship and questioning if she still loves him. During an interview with BBC Radio 1's Zane Lowe, Martin was asked directly by the DJ whether the subject of the album was the breakdown of his relationship, Martin responded, "I wouldn't use the word breakdown, this was more a realization about trying to grow up basically."

The song was produced by Timbaland, who is best known for his work for R&B and hip-hop artists. The American was one of three guest producers who worked on Ghost Stories along with Avicii and Madeon.

The Jonas Škerlund-directed feel-good video was shot in Los Angeles. The director previously worked with Coldplay on their clip for "Magic."

The visual depicts two misfits in inflatable bodysuits who both love ballet. Canadian actress Jessica Lucas (Cloverfield, Pompeii) plays an aspiring ballet dancer whose large body prevents her from realizing her dreams, whilst Chris Martin portrays a mild-mannered janitor at a theater housing the dancing.

Oceans Lyrics

Wait for your call, love
The call never came
Ready to fall, love
Ready to claim

I'm ready for it all, love
I'm ready for a pain
Meet under sun
Meet me again
In the rain
In the rain
In the rain
The rain

Behind the walls, love
I'm trying to change
And I'm ready for it all, love
I'm ready for a change
Meet under blue sky
Meet me again
In the rain
The rain, the rain
In the rain
The rain

Got to find yourself alone in this world
You've got to find yourself alone

Oceans

This sad, sparse, acoustic ballad finds Chris Martin pleading to a lost love to meet him again. However as she refuses to respond to his pleas, he concludes that he must learn to carry on alone.

The song is a track from Ghost Stories, a concept album about past actions, and the effects they can have on the future and one's capacity for love. The record was inspired to a large part by by the disintegration of lead singer Chris Martin's relationship with then-wife Gwyneth Paltrow. Speaking to BBC Radio 1's Zane Lowe, Martin explained the record's lyrical content. "The idea of Ghost Stories, for me, was 'how do you let the things that happen to you in the past – your ghosts – how do you let them affect your present and your future?' Because there was a time when I was feeling like they were going to drag me down and ruin my life, and the lives of those around me." he said.

"I was very lucky to meet a very good sufi teacher who started to introduce the idea of 'if you sit with your experiences and the things you've been through, they alchemize,'" Martin continued. "At the time he said that, I didn't really know what that meant, but I trusted that it would work, and the more that I was learning about that, the more music just started flowing through."
