What we like
- The unmistakable sound of Coldplay that mixes music, words, sound and feeling that reaches into your very soul
Soul experience
- In paradise there is only peace, prosperity, and happiness. We often think that paradise is external where we would have everything we want, but really paradise is not necessarily in the true sense a land of luxury. Life can weigh on us and many times our dreams can take us to what we think would be paradise. We want this as the everyday demands often can weigh on us. We think the only way out of these demand is through finding a paradise a permanent escape. But what is important is to recognise that paradise in what we do have. Maybe we may discover it just sitting right in front of us or perhaps, better still, within us
To reflect on
- Life goes on, it gets so heavy
The wheel breaks the butterfly every tear a waterfall
In the night the stormy night she’ll close her eyes
In the night the stormy night away she’d fly
And dream of para-para-paradise
- And so lying underneath those stormy skies
She’d say, “Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
I know the sun must set to rise”
This could be para-para-paradise

“The men of experiment are like the ant; they only collect and use. But the bee gathers its materials from the flowers of the garden and of the field, but transforms and digests it by a power of its own.”
