Song lyrics
How long before I get in
Before it starts, before I begin?
How long before you decide
Before I know what it feels like?
Where to, where do I go?
If you never try, then you'll never know
How long do I have to climb
Up on the side of this mountain of mine?

Look up, I look up at night
Planets are moving at the speed of light
Climb up, up in the trees
Every chance that you get is a chance you seize
How long am I gonna stand
With my head stuck under the sand?
I’ll start before I can stop
Before I see things the right way up

All that noise, and all that sound
All those places that I have found
And birds go flying at the speed of sound
To show you how it all began
Birds came flying from the underground
If you could see it then you'd understand

Ideas that you'll never find
Or the inventors could never design
The buildings that you put up
Japan and China all lit up
The sign that I couldn't read
Or the light that I couldn't see
Some things you have to believe
But others are puzzles, puzzling me

All that noise, and all that sound
All those places that I have found
And birds go flying at the speed of sound
To show you how it all began
Birds came flying from the underground
If you could see it then you'd understand
Oh when you see it then you'll understand

All those signs, I knew what they meant
Some things you can't invent
Some get made, and some get sent
Ooh…

Birds go flying at the speed of sound
To show you how it all began
Birds came flying from the underground
If you could see it then you'd understand
Oh, when you see it then you'll understand

This is by far the best single Coldplay have ever done. Everything about it is brilliant: piano, guitar, drums, bass and especially the vocal, Chris Martin has to be one of the greatest singers in the world Can't wait to see and hear this and all their new material being performed live, should be brilliant!!!

I've heard the song for at least three times, it's really good but it's not Coldplay's best single (Which I think is In my Place) "A rush of blood to the head was like the Sgt. Pepper from the beatles. they have a challenge but this is a good start. I do not know if all of you saw the Mtv commercial about the tour, where speed of sound sounds EVEN greater .
I WANT THEM TO COME TO COLOMBIA!

Well Well Well... Now their back again!
This is one of the most incredible song i`ve ever heard of them. They show us all how much we have for fighting for our rights, and the messages in their songs are just fabolous! This song means already a lot to me. All of their songs helps in some strange way anyway! The dream I have is: Coldplay and R.E.M in a corporate single! That would be the greatest! No shy against Coldplay here, their the worlds greatest. Speed of Sound represents a lot of the musical world. It seems so.. All proudness and thanks to Coldplay for sharing their feelings and messages to us fans!

Speed of Sound, really let my tears out!
Thanks from Norway

Yours, Joar!

How do they do it? All of the songs have killer piano backgrounds. It makes me want to go out and try to learn how to play the piano. One more hit for COLDPLAY!!!
