Orphans by Coldplay
Coldplay的第七张专辑发布于2015年12月4日,发售之时正是中东地区这一锅乱粥沸腾之时,直到现在战事还未平息。可以想象这几年对Coldplay的影响,这乱象可不是believe in love的他们所期望的,估计这整张专辑会比以往更加关注社会这个话题,而不止于个人情爱。

When I can go

Back and get drunk with my friends
回去与朋友们举杯相聚
Rosaleem of the damascene

Yes she had eyes like the moon

Would have been on the silver screen

But for the missile monsoon

She went

Woo woo
Woo woo oo oo oo
Indigo up in heaven today
今日的天堂本是靛蓝绽放
Woo woo
Woo woo oo oo oo
With bombs going
却随着炮弹声响
Boom baboomboom
走向了灭亡
She say

I want to know
我想知道
When I can go

Back and be young again
