![]() Similar to " X&Y" closer " 'Til Kingdom Come", "O" is stripped of pretense, and Martin sounds utterly exhausted by the final line. The twinkling piano ballad recalls the Martin we met back in 2000: the hopeless romantic and perpetual stargazer, who will - broken heart be damned - eternally keep his head up in the name of love." īillboard also praised the track, wroting: "This beautifully produced piano ballad poignantly offers a sense of hope and forgiveness. Stephanie Benson of Spin said the song "represents Coldplay's entire journey coming full circle. The song received positive reviews from critics. "O" begins with the same angel choir of the album opener, " Always in My Head", as Chris, Apple and Mabel can be heard repeating "Don't ever let go" through a vocoder.Īt the end of the song, there's a deep sound effect added by uncredited French DJ and producer, Madeon, while him and Chris were working on "Always in My Head".

What if we put a mic up, will you and Mabel maybe sing it?" "Sure!" No big deal at all." Composition "They flit in and out in the studio because there's a room upstairs with some toys and stuff which they kind of prefer, but they were listening "What's this, dad? I like this" and I said "Oh, it's called "O". Ĭhris said Apple was in the studio with her friend, Mabel, on the day of recording. I dunno if it's just the sound of kids singing or, particularity, my kids singing, but it just makes me feel reassured and embraced somehow. In the same way of having the rest of the band on the song makes you feel alive and part of something else. In the Beats Music track by track interview, he said: "Is my kids, essentially saying, don't ever let go, which I just think it's a nice thing to be told.

This is a very important message for me at the end of the record like "Don't ever let go", so my dad used to say to me "Never give up", and it's what hopefully I'm saying to myself or to anyone.

O Say what you like about him, he does incredible guitar animal impressions. No, no, there's no birds chirping! That's Jonny being a bird on his guitar. And so, it's that feeling of, do your thing. That's talking about birds and I don't mean to be mean but I'm not a big fan of people putting birds in cages because to me, that thing can fly, how can you do that? It's crazy. As long as they're happy and whatever it is they choose." He continued: "I guess its about unconditional love I think. In a complete track by track interview for Beats Music, he said the song is about "trying to get to a place where you are happy for the people around you.
