Template:B-side"I Bloom Blaum" is a song by Coldplay and the third B-side track of "In My Place" single.
About the song
In an exlusive interview with Chris Martin for an e-zine made available on the band's website, he was asked about the meaning of the song's title, stating: "[...] well I thought it meant the blue people. I just read it in Icelandic. We had a review in an Icelandic newspaper the day after we played the first time and I thought it said I Bloom Blaum and I said to my friend ‘what does that mean?’ and he said ‘it means the blue people’, but it didn’t actually say at I Bloom Blaum at all, that’s just what I remembered it being, so I Bloom Blaum doesn’t mean anything. Simon Pegg told me to call it that."[1]
In a ranking of the band's entire discography, in celebration of the 20th anniversary of the release of Parachutes, NME described the song saying: "There’s a delicacy to ‘I Bloom Blaum’, one that was unusual in 2002, fighting for attention opposite the ‘Politik’s and the ‘God Put a Smile upon Your Face’s of the ‘Rush of Blood to the Head’ cycle. It’s slight, but quietly special at the same time too."[2]
The song is the third B-side on the "In My Place" single, along with "One I Love".
Lyrics
[Verse]
Darling, those tired eyes
Go with me all the time
And in the dead of night
Tell me you will be mine
Where do you go to, pretty babe?
Where do you go to when the night wind's away?
Ask me so sweetly, what do I do?
And who do I sing for
Well honey I sing about you
You
