Gravity
From WikiColdplay
Gravity is a b-side recorded for release on the dvd version of the Talk single, in 2005. A solo version was originally debuted by Chris Martin at the end of one of the bands American tour dates in 2003. A version soon found its way onto the internet and became incredibly sought after by many fans. It came as a shock to many fans when Chris announced that he had given the song to the band, Embrace to record, as many had expected it to feature on the next Coldplay album. It was a hit for Embrace and gave the band new life as they re-found commercial and critical success, after being out in the cold since the late 1990's. Coldplay recorded a full band version for the Talk single and it was quite different, in style, from the Embrace one. It was slower and had a more haunting feel than the Embrace version which was fairly quick and shiny designed to make it more radio friendly. Unsurprisingly, most Coldplay fans prefer the Coldplay version.
Lyrics
Baby, It's been a long time coming, Such a long long time, And I can't stop running, Such a long long time. Can you hear my heart beating? Can you hear that sound? 'Cause I can't help thinking And I won't stop now. And then I looked up at the sun and I could see Oh, the way that gravity pulls on you and me And then I looked up at the sky and saw the sun And the way that gravity pushes on everyone On everyone Baby, When your wheels stop turning, And you feel let down, And it seems like troubles Have come all around, I can hear your heart beating, I can hear that sound, But I can't help thinking And I won't look now. And then I looked up at the sun and I could see Oh, the way that gravity pulls on you and me, And then I looked up at the sky and saw the sun And the way that gravity pushes on everyone. On everyone (x5)
