At first, I loved it for the instrumentation and Chris Martin's vocals, both of which I find very infectious. Recently, I've been returning to the song and started listening and admiring it in a very different way than before.

It was one of my favourite songs of 2014. After all, it was produced by Avicii and has his signature sound written all over it. The song tended to divide opinion as many praised its anthemic sound, but criticized the fact that Coldplay has entered dance music territory with it. The album was a drastic deviation from anything the band had ever done and it's all too common for long-time fans of a band to feel alienated when they go in different directions with their music. Both the album and song received a mixed reaction and understandably so. In 2014, Coldplay released their sixth album, “Ghost Stories”, featuring the song “A Sky Full of Stars”. Something very different from me now, but something I've wanted to talk about for a while.
