I love this song. Perfect music for a gently melancholic evening.

It is, just a heads up, a Coldplay song, which for some isn’t welcome news, but maybe give it a listen anyway.

I first heard this song while huddled in some corner of the Los Angeles International Airport, longing for any of the number of things the Los Angeles International Airport cannot provide. There, sat between a Cinnabon and California Pizza Kitchen, resigned to my fate with commendably stiff upper lip, I was gifted a text from a friend.

“This song sounds like something you’d be into,” she says. “Probably. I don’t know. Please don’t hate me.”

I do not hate you, dear friend. This is a great song. Thank you.
