Post #5 - "Don't Panic"

This next song is from arguably one of the best bands today; Coldplay. I will go so far as comparing them to the Beatles, just with less albums. Nonetheless their success speaks for themselves, selling over 40 million albums worldwide.

From their first studio album Parachutes, "Don't Panic" is a fairly short song by today's and also Coldplay's standards. This doesn't subtract from the beauty of the track though. This is probably my favorite Coldplay song. The thing I really love about this song is Jonny Buckland's slide guitar that's present for just about the entirety of the track.

The video off of YouTube is the official music video for the song, featuring an interesting style of cutout animation of the band as they try to make it in what appears to be a world gone to shit. Anyway, hope you enjoy this!
