Description
Fix You is a special song for me. Chris Martin wrote it for his wife Gwyneth Paltrow after her father passed away. He had also bought her an old keyboard that inspired the sound Chris used in the opening of the song.
The reason this song really touches me is because my mother passed away from breast cancer, and my grandmother also lost her battle with cancer a year before that. This song started to make me think of them, so I arranged it in memory of them. The lyrics are some of the most heartfelt and meaningful I have ever heard, and this is one of the rare songs that can make me cry pretty easily. It just articulates the emotions and feelings involved in losing a loved one so eloquently and compassionately, I have to think that Chris Martin has also lost someone close to him as well.
Lyrics:
"When you try your best but you don't succeed
When you get what you want but not what you need
When you feel so tired but you can't sleep
Stuck in reverse
And the tears come streaming down your face
When you lose something you can't replace
When you love someone but it goes to waste
Could it be worse?
Lights will guide you home
And ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you"
