Chapter 4
...really means what he's singing
But when you become famous or other
You realize it's nonsense, you know, this isn't, you know
Everyone's just a normal person
Everyone, even the pope, you know
Or he's a great person, but, everyone is essentially made as the same thing
And if you start thinking you're more important or better than someone
Then you just become an idiot, I think
And I have days when I act like an idiot when nobody likes me
So, I start to get feet on the ground
On the first he stands out, cause he's got such a wide range
Like a range you can hit the very high nose and the low nose
It was all these contemporary singer alongs
Like Damon Albarn from Blur, and Liam Gallagher from Oasis
They're very monotone and haven't got that range
Whereas he will use his voice as musical instrument
They don't really add anything extra to the music
I think Chris Martin's voice is very integral to their sounds
It's umm, he's got a great range as well
So it can express so many different parts of what he's tryin' to portray
I just went on a trip to Haiti
Which is why where they have teach us and trade (?)
And, I don't know but, when you scold child and you didn't joke
And if you read about all the terrible things in the world
The deforestation, the chemical plants, and you know, oil drills everywhere
You don't really think about it
And then when you go somewhere where it's been completely destroyed by industry
And corruption
Coldplay's music itself is very good
But Chris Martin's voice, you know,
Really stands up against the masses. It's really...
And with the lyrics, like compounded with the lyrics
It just becomes so full, you know
Such a... really makes people feel what he's saying
The eldest child of an accountant, and a teacher
Chris forms his first band at elementary school before going to Sherborne private school
Here he met his future manager, Phil Harvey, at the age of 14
Together, they shared a passion for music and the love of the band U2
At Sherborne, Chris's interest in music grew
He was in a couple of school band
Identity crisis, a sort of teen patshot boys (?)
And Rock & Honkeys, which covered standards like sitting on the dock of the bay and mustang selling
He also developed the love of playing the piano
But like every keyboard player
He desperately wanted to be the front man
