For You
From WikiColdplay
For You is a b-side found on the single Shiver released in 2000. It has never been performed live possibly due to its slightly haunting chorus.

Q. Hello, was just wondering if u could clear up an argument going on in our house at the mo, was For You ever used in a TV ad and if so which one?
Hopefully then I might get some peace and quiet! Thankyou
The Oracle replies:
Peace and quiet? Well that would depend on what you think the answer is because if you're wrong I doubt you'll get any!
Drum roll... No, For You was never used in a TV advert. Don't confuse commercials for trailers though as they are completely different.

Q. Dear Oracle,
I really need to know... the song For You, was it ever dedicated to someone?
The Oracle replies:
The title suggests that 'You' was someone in particular but no, the song was never dedicated to a specific someone.

Q. Dear Big-O,
My biggest question, what is the Coldplay song that starts out with a piano medley and the first words are "if youre lost and feel alone, circumnavigate the globe" I have been wondering this for so long because I have the mp3 in my itunes and its untitled.
Thanks Big-O forever coldplay.
Jhohn
The Oracle replies:
It's called For You, which you will find on the Shiver single.

Q. Dear Oracle,
I came across a song today that according to a friend of mine is by Coldplay. The vocals seem to be those of Chris Martin which is why I would like to know if this song is indeed one by Coldplay. My friend says its title is "You" and I can recall the use of the word "circumvent" a few times, if that helps. Does it ring a bell? If so, then was it released as part of an album or was it B-side and is "You" its actual title?
Thanks very much.
The Oracle replies:
It does indeed ring a bell. I LOVE this song. It's called For You and it's circumnavigate you're thinking of.
This is a golden oldie from 2000 and it was the b-side to the Shiver single.
Lyrics
If you're lost and feel alone Circumnavigate the globe All you ever have to hope for too And the way you seem to flow Circumnavigate in hope And they seem to lose control, with you Everyone of us is hurt And everyone of us is scarred Everyone of us is scared Not you Your eyes closed Your head hurts Your eyes feel so low Everyone of us is scared Everyone of us is hurt Everyone of us has hope For you (x10)
