About This Track
Strawberry Swing is a track included on Coldplay’s fourth album.
This is one of several potential album cuts with Afro-pop and high-life influences: Here, distortion-free finger-picked guitars which sound straight out of Mali mix with a heavy bassline and psychedelic synths. “My Mum comes from Zimbabwe, so I spent a lot of time there,” says Martin. “I used to work in a studio where people played that.” More gentle than much of the album, it is built around a repetitive African-inspired guitar as a blissed-out Martin sings the touching and slightly psychedelic love song about “such a perfect day”.
Key lyric: “The sky could be blue, I don’t mind, without you it’s a waste of time.”
It is thought that Now My Feet Won’t Touch The Ground was an earlier/alternate title for Strawberry Swing, due to its presence in the song’s lyrics below.

stands out from the rest of viva la vida. i think it really makes me love the album even more... even when I was uncertain whether to like the album because I was an old coldplay elitist... this song made it for me. and it made me love albums just for what they are, no matter how different it is from the rest of a band's "old stuff". :)
