Chris Martin's breakup with his wife Gwyneth Paltrow is also seen as a significant influence on the album.
'Fix You' (2005)

The song slowly builds through lyrics aiming to help someone overcome adversity. 'Fix You' was a top 5 pop hit in the UK and reached the top 20 of the US alternative chart.

'Yellow' (2000)
This was the breakthrough hit single for Coldplay. Reportedly the title 'Yellow' came up somewhat randomly to title the song. Multiple stories exist to explain how the band decided on 'Yellow.' Chris Martin told Howard Stern that the word means nothing at all, and through the years he made up stories about it to encourage an interviewer to move on to the next question. Once 'Yellow' was settled on, the rest of the lyrics were then built around the title. Reportedly the melody line for 'Yellow' came to Chris Martin while the band Coldplay were outdoors looking at stars in the sky.
'Yellow' hit #4 in the UK and then broke into the top 10 of the alternative radio chart in the US. It also reached #11 at adult pop radio. 'Yellow' earned two Grammy Award nominations including for Best Rock Song. The minimalist music video was directed by James Frost and Alex of The Artists Company.

'Clocks' (2003)
'Clocks' is built around one of the most beautiful pop piano riffs of all time. Coldplay put the song together in the very late stages of recording the album A Rush Of Blood To the Head. The urgent lyrical theme fits the speed with which the band recorded the song. 'Clocks' won a Grammy Award for Record of the Year. It was used in a wide variety of commercials, movies, and TV shows. 'Clocks' became very familiar to US music fans even though it only reached #29 on the Billboard Hot 100. It reached the top 10 at both alternative and adult pop radio. The album A Rush of Blood To the Head became Coldplay's first top 10 hit album in the US climbing to #5 on the chart.

'Viva La Vida' (2008)
Coldplay's 'Viva La Vida' is a grand songwriting and recording achievement. The lyrics center on the contemplation of being swept from a position of power and esteem and are filled with historical and religious references. The title is taken from a painting by Mexican artist Frida Kahlo. An English translation of the title is 'Live the Life.' Musically, the song soars along on a percussive beat overlaid with a gorgeous string arrangement. 'Viva La Vida' won the Grammy Award for Song of the Year and was nominated for Record of the Year. It went to #1 on pop singles charts in the US and the UK. It also reached the top at alternative, adult pop, and adult contemporary radio. Many publications listed 'Viva La Vida' as one of the top 10 songs of the year.
Two music videos were shot for 'Viva La Vida' by two of the world's most accomplished music video directors. Hype Williams, known for his work with Kanye West among others, shot the official clip. It shows Coldplay performing in front of a blurry, warped image of the Eugene Delacroix painting Liberty Leading the People which forms the album cover art for Viva La Vida. The alternate video was directed by Anton Corbijn, known for his innovative work with Depeche Mode. It is a takeoff on his celebrated 'Enjoy the Silence' clip.
