Clocks

"Clocks" by Coldplay is an alternative rock song typically performed in the key of E-flat major. It was written by all the members of Coldplay for their album "A Rush of Blood to the Head," released in 2002. An interesting fact is that the distinctive piano riff, played by Chris Martin, serves as the driving force behind the song and was inspired by the band's desire to create a hypnotic and rhythmic sound. The melody features ethereal vocals from Martin, complemented by atmospheric instrumentation and dynamic shifts, creating a sense of urgency and introspection that has made "Clocks" one of Coldplay's most iconic and enduring songs.
