Every Teardrop Is a Waterfall (4:09)

Cover of Mylo Xyloto

From Mylo Xyloto and 20 other releases

“Every Teardrop Is A Waterfall” is the first track announced from Coldplay’s fifth album, “Mylo Xyloto”.

The The Every Teardrop is a Waterfall Songfacts reports that Chris Martin was inspired to write the upbeat song after hearing the dance track Ritmo de la Noche by Lorca during a nightclub scene in Javier Bardem’s film Biutiful. The track is based on I Go To Rio written by Peter Allen and Adrienne Anderson, hence their credits as writers on this tune.

Coldplay returned to the charts with epic single ‘Every Teardrop Is A Waterfall’, which debuted at No.6 on it’s release in June 2011. The track contains elements of Peter Allen’s camp classic ‘I Go To Rio’, a No.1 single in his native Australia back in 1977.

I turn the music up, I got my records on
I shut the world outside until the lights come on
Maybe the streets alight, maybe the trees are gone
I feel my heart start beating to my favorite song
