Top Ten Coldplay Songs That Were Never Released as a Single

Amsterdam is truly unique. No other Coldplay song features such a great piano solo by Martin. The lyrics are lovely, and it perfectly captures a melancholic mood.
Most underrated Coldplay song, in my opinion. Under my top 5.

Amsterdam is such an underrated song, and it's a beauty. This song makes me cry when I listen to it, and it has a great build in emotion, and even though it isn't bombastic, it tells a great story, just like 'The Scientist' did. - ChristianDavid

My favorite Coldplay song, and my eighth favorite song of all time. The vocals are perfect and detailed. Great piano work. The song simmers for a while and then gets louder.

Swallowed in the Sea embodies everything that makes Coldplay Coldplay. It has a very moving melody with a heartfelt lyrical meaning. It has the atmospheric sound that Coldplay has come to patent over the years and is really an anytime song. Happy or sad, this is your tune.

Probably the best Coldplay song of all time and I mean it I know most people can't be bothered to listen to it but seriously this one is worth it

An undisputed favorite of listeners familiar with all albums. Listen to the words and the beauty of the song will reach out to you. It is very poetic and communicates strongly.

It' so catchy! How could this not be chosen as a single?

An absolutely beautiful song. One of my favorites from Coldplay and a highlight of the album "a rush of blood to the head". Love it.

Really great song! I love the dramatic feeling of this song and I think more people should hear it.

I'm so glad I came to this page, this song is amazing!

Agree that it is one of coldplay's best. Makes AROBTTH their best album along with politik and amsterdam

One of the most haunting, memorable choruses I've ever heard; can't seem to get it out of my head. Just when I thought the band couldn't get any better, I stumbled upon this absolute gem. Instantly became my favourite Coldplay song.

Awesome song. Really cool guitar riff. As much as I love this song, What If is better in my opinion. I think it amy have been released as a single in France though.

Fantastic chord progession, beautiful chorus, unfortunately, this should not be on the list, as it WAS released as a single, but that was only in Mexico, so it's OK

Between this and Strawberry Swing for me, but ended up siding with White Shadows. Amazing song nonetheless.

This song is the best. It should be #1

This song gets the essence of Coldplay

What? Saw the name of this list and instantly expected this to be top. The only ones I think that should possibly be considered ahead of this are A Rush of Blood to the Head and Amsterdam. - Chippieolamus

Great song! Definitely deserves a spot in the top 10. I don't know why it wasn't there yet!

Listen to the acoustic version. It's the best song to sing to a girl.

Probably the most underrated Coldplay song ever

that's a lame list

but between those songs that's the best one - jad_fadel

Chris said it was one of the best works of Coldplay.

The song that got me into
Coldplay

I have no idea why this wasn't realeased as a single.

This was proven by psychiatrists the most relaxing song with lyrics of all time. It actually slows your heartbeat and makes your brain process situations better. Oh yeah and it's a great, unique song :).

Was a single but a great song nonetheless. Go listen to it, especially if today is not your day.

One of my favourite songs of all time, a true fans vote and just a great relaxing song!

This song was a single.

Best and most creative Coldplay song, the fusion of Eastern melody gives it a very haunting and unforgettable feel

I love this song it should be #1

It's a great song, really deep

Everyone sais this songs bad, but I love it

From their EP Brothers and Sisters.

Viva La Vida's version of Amsterdam and while it doesn't quite reach the height of the classic, it builds up similarly and is very enjoyable. Highly recommend it especially if you are more of a fan of the newer stuff

A very quiet and emotional beginning, followed by a crashingly loud ending section makes this an amazing song. Don't just read this, listen to the song!

Yes! My favorite on Ghost Stories. It's so grand but simple. Great vocals and lyrics. - pandagirl

The songs is so inspiring, uplifting, marvelous! It's one of the best of the album! It may not be able to be a hit, but to music fans, it is heavenly. Mylo Xyloto at it's best. - keyson

It is one of my favourite songs. The sounds of piano and drum are very active and make me fresh. So I listen again and again.

One of my favorite Coldplay songs of all time. I listen to this song when I'm in love.

One of my favorite songs of all time

This song is a single.

Love this song, really wish it was made longer because it only sounds like a demo. Maybe the 46 seconds are part of its charm though, because it leaves you always wanting more. Go listen to it, it won't even take a minute

46 seconds of pure magic.

That's a good pun
