My favorites are down to two: Viva La Vida and Please Read the Letter

Here's Coldplay - if you dont love it - you're nuts.



I have seen Robert Plant and Alison Krauss in concert - therefore - they are my personal favorites. Both are incredibly talented. Good album and phenomenal song.
And yes they performed Stairway to Heaven live at that concert. Unreal.



Here are the lyrics...

Caught out running
With just a little too much to hide
Maybe baby
Everything's gonna turn out fine
Please read the letter
I mailed it to your door
It's crazy how it all turned out
We needed so much more

Too late, too late
A fool could read the signs
Maybe baby
You'd better check between the lines
Please read the letter, I
Wrote it in my sleep
With help and consultation from
The angels of the deep

Ahhhhhhh.... Ahhhhh... Ahhhhhhaaa....

Please read the letter that I wrote
Please read the letter that I wrote

Once I stood beside a well of many words
My house was full of rings and
Charms and pretty birds
Please understand me, my
Walls come falling down
There's nothing here that's left for you
So check with lost and found

Ahhhhhhh.... Ahhhhh... Ahhhhhhaaa....

Please read the letter that I wrote
Please read the letter that I wrote

One more song just before we go
Remember baby
You got to reap just what you sow
Please read my letter
And promise me you'll keep
The secrets and the memories we
Cherish in the deep
Please read the letter
I mailed it to your door
Its crazy how it all turned out
We needed so much more....

Please read the letter that I wrote
Please read the letter that I wrote
Please read the letter that I wrote

Please read the letter that I wrote
Please read the letter that I wrote
Please read the letter that I wrote
