Also, Fix You is one of my most-hated songs, because it's almost a song I would really like, but no. It annoys me that it manages to make me well up even though I can see it coming and try to stoke up on rage at helpy masculinity. Terrible songs should not be so well written.
I was quite surprised to discover I knew what this was as well; I didn't think they'd got that far into my head. (IMO there is one (1) acceptable Coldplay song, which is Shiver, because it's in 6/8, aka the not nearly common enough Metal Waltz, and if I had the range to sing the bassline from the chorus I'd do it all day, so I have to sing it with a bass instead. I understand there's some warbling and strumming and stuff going on too but whatever.)
I will admit to a sneaking sort-of fondness for Fix You because of David Tennant using (a few seconds of) it to wind up Noel Fielding on Buzzcocks. That doesn't mean I would listen to it voluntarily under any other circumstances, however.

But you may have a kudo for complaining about the correct song :)
