The first time I heard this song was about 3 weeks after my beautiful daughter died of a drug overdose. Coldplay was on the "Today Show", and I was just going back to work that week, and had the T.V. on in the background. Still overcome with shock and grief, for some reason, when I heard this song, I thought "Oh my God... this is about her..". I started crying uncontrollably, because the words sounded so much as if it was written for my girl. I could not listen to music for the past year and a half because something always reminds me of her. But it's so weird that wherever I go, some store, restaurant, whatever... this song comes on almost ALWAYS. I think it's my daughter's way of telling me "Yes, Mommy, I am in PARADISE". At least that is how I interpret this. God Bless you, Chris Martin, for writing this song for my baby..
Yes, it was, and is incredibly hard to go through life as a bereaved parent. I am trying in every way possible to help myself, and my surviving daughter, get through this. You are never the same after losing a child. This song invariably comes on whenever I least expect it, and that gives me some kind of comfort that she is indeed in Paradise. Thank you for your kind words!

I made an account just to reply to this comment. I hope you still check this site. That touched my heart and gave me a stronger belief in the Lord. I am so thankful that your daughter is able to reach you through a song that is so powerful in meaning and that you are capable of knowing it is her telling you that she is safe and happy now. She has found her paradise. I wish you the best.
