Fix You

I did mention it's going to be quite an emotional day because whilst I've been researching you today, I've been going, because of 6,000 people with you at the front all singing Hallelujah, which is your most recent single, which is there for, I think it's Cash for Kids is the current.

And even before that, I was looking at Fix You, the Coldplay song that I also found moving initially.

And thank you for being here.

I saw you speak at the Entrepreneurs' Convention a few months ago.

It is fantastic.

And we're introducing pop music, the favorite song from the decades to all ages, but in a very different way where instead of just listening or singing along with the main melody, we're deconstructing the song, rebuilding the harmonies and teaching it, connecting with everyone and putting them in the center of that song so that they can enjoy the song, learn about the song and then perform the song when they're ready.

I'm going to point people to the videos of Hallelujah and Fix You.

They are so moving and they are the essence and the quintessence of what it is you're achieving.

I have very fond memories of, I'm not even sure I'd want to bring this back, but I have fond memories of like waking up early in the morning before school when an album dropped so that I could, I had like pre-ordered it on iTunes so that I could like throw it on my iPod and listen to it on the way to school.

And I remember like Coldplay X and Y came out and I did just that and listened to it and like Fix You came on on my way to school.

And I'm like, this is the greatest song I've ever heard.

And then me and my friends at school that day, like we just were listening to it on repeat.

We did a series of workouts with Coldplay music, and that music is incredibly evocative and emotional.

One of the songs is called Fix You, and it's this deeply emotive song.

valid about grief.

You know, I remember trying to record it and I just kept having to stop because I just kept crying.

Now, you've chosen the music today, Unwritten by Natasha Bedingfield.

Why that track?

It's a particular track that I know every single word to, so I love to have a sing-along, much to the disdain of probably my friends and family.

However, I don't think my voice is that bad.

But I like it because of the fact of the sentiment of the song.

I think I've got to a point in my life where I realise that perhaps my life isn't going how I always anticipated it would.

It is unwritten and I probably do have hopefully another 40 years plus on the planet with which there are many opportunities to do different things and live life in a multitude of ways.

So, yeah, that's why I chose that track.

...

but this is more like, I remember going to a Coldplay concert, and everyone at the Coldplay concert singing Fix You.

Yes.

Those moments, they just don't happen.

And I basically, I got there and...

I sat on the edge I listened to Fix You by Coldplay and then basically my plan was at the end of the song just throw yourself off and that's it but just as the song was ending two people walked past And I was like, oh, well, I can't do it now.

Yeah, yeah.

And in my head, I was like, one more day.

That thought came to mind.

For your music playlist with that song or with that part of the conversation, Coldplay's Fix You.

I always want to try to fix because I want to try to help people stop suffering or struggling or whatever the case may be.

And I have different walks of life where I'm definitely involved in the suffering side.

And I have to resist the urge to fix you, to help you be better.

I'll fix you.

That really doesn't fit.

I don't have Coldplay on my playlist.
