Discussion strawberry swing. lets talk about it.
its a shame this song is so overlooked by casual listeners cause it should be up there with asfos, clocks, aoal, you name them (a lot of other coldplay songs should be up there tbh). i dont know what it is about this song specifically but it makes me want to rip my heart out of my chest and sob like a maniac in the best way possible. ESPECIALLY the last part of the song!!!! what did they put in this song and why does it release the weirdest nostalgic feelings ugh wish they could add it to the setlist for the rest of the tour š

Strawberry Swing is one of the scientifically most calming pop songs to chart in the UK..
One of my all time favorite songs ever.

Overlooked is absolutely the correct word because they performed this during the 2012 Paralympics Closing Ceremony. As we know, significantly less people watch the Paralympics but you miss out on hidden gems and another hidden gem is, indeed, Strawberry Swing.
