“Coloratura” is the twelfth and final track from Coldplay’s ninth studio album, Music of the Spheres. The 10-minute space epic takes the listener into a panoramic, multi-suite voyage into the cosmos. It corresponds with the nebula at the top of the album cover.

[Verse 1]
Coloratura
We fell in through the clouds
And everyone before us
Is there welcoming us now
It's the end of death and doubt
And loneliness is out
Coloratura
The place we dreamed about
The melodies inside yourself
And love come pouring out
And everyone's allowed
We're feathered by the crowd
[Chorus]
And up there in the heavеns
Galileo and those pining for the moon
Know it's a slow burn
Through Pioneer and Hеlix
Oumuamua, Heliopause and Neptune
We're a slow-burning tune
But we'll get there
So for now
[Post-Chorus]
In this crazy world, I do
I just want you
[Verse 2]
In the end, it's all about
The love you're sending out
[Chorus]
And up there in the heavens
The explorers who've all gathered by balloon
Saw the world turn
Through Voyager, Callisto
Calliope, Betelgeuse, the Neon Moons
We're a slow-burning tune
But we'll touch down soon
So will you
[Post-Chorus]
And in this crazy world, I do
I just want you
[Instrumental Bridge]
[Chorus]
And up there in the heavens
Galileo saw reflections of us, too
Pluribus unum, unus mundus
All the satellites imbue
The purple, yellow
Green, red, orange and the blue
Oh, it's a crazy world, it's true, yeah
Sing it out
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh
[Post-Chorus]
And in this crazy world, I do
I just want—
In this crazy world, it's true
I just want you
[Outro]
Poets prophesy up in the blue
Together, that's how we'll make it through

It took us a while to learn how to play “Coloratura” all together as one band, from beginning to end. It’s a challenge and it’s quite nice to feel challenged & feel pressure of a live performance.

Each album can quite easily be defined by the singles you release on the radio, and it’s always important to us when we make albums to include many different moods and textures and styles. So it was important to us, as a counterbalance to some of the poppier songs, to have something which was unasha...
