Coldplay: We Pray (2024)
Their new song was first broadcast at Glastonbury this year and explicitly talks about prayer, hoping for forgiveness, and seeking God. It's perhaps not as much of a surprise after learning that the band's lead singer Chris Martin was brought up in a Christian home in England. However in interviews through the years he has described his experience negatively, using words like "strange indoctrination" and publicly rejecting the faith.
Is this new song a sign of a change of heart?
"Pray I judge nobody and forgive me my sins...
Praying on your love, we pray with every breath
Though I'm in the valley of the shadow of death...
And so we pray
For someone to come and show me the way"
We're yet to hear Martin comment publicly on the story behind the song, but the lyrics suggest there could be more to come. CT.
