Coldplay, one of the greatest bands of the 21st century. At the age of around 17 (2010’s), I got introduced to the world of coldplay. The band’s music is known for its humanity and inclusivity. Ever since I heard their songs I instantly became a big fan of the band. To sum up, it felt homely.
Apart from music, the band is known for their green initiatives but in this piece I would like to tell you about my experience and the palpable energy that I felt and was kindled in every heart at the Narendra Modi Stadium, Ahmedabad on January 25, 2025.
“Nobody said it was easy. No one ever said it would be so hard”. After almost accepting defeat for not getting access to the tickets, it felt like the sky was not guiding us to the light of the stars. However, my stars were perfectly aligned as I managed to get myself a ticket. An angel appeared and offered a ticket within my budget. It was a dream come true moment. It was ‘magic’.
When the time arrived, I got myself backpacked and flew from one end of the country to the other. A big salute to all the invisible and visible souls who made this possible.
This was not some regular music concert. It was a pure form of art. A drama. A play. A cinema. A deep conversation. A connection. Their music resonates with words of the universe. It has healing capabilities for many problems of our current times. Sending love and happiness to every person in need.
No matter where one came from during the concert, it felt like the band was directly talking to you. It felt like a warm hug from your best friend. It surely kindled all the positive feelings of this world and beyond.
Their “hymn” made everyone present in the stadium stand as ONE, surpassing all differences. As the attendees sang and danced to the tunes of Coldplay, it was a reminder to all that no matter where we came from, we all have a responsibility as global citizens towards this “paradise called earth”.
Every moment felt as “if we were falling in love”, maybe for the first time, and everything over and over again. It was a refresh button for every heart and soul. It really “fixed (you)” everything just like waking up to a new day.
In a blink of an eye, it was over. Leaving most of us with a feeling of emptiness within our hearts and soul. Rebooting all the dreams. Sparking all the beliefs. And being the light to guide us in this astray world towards a good and fair future.
