}} }} "True Love" is a song written by British alternative rock band Coldplay. The song was originally recorded for the band's sixth studio album ''Ghost Stories'', where it appears as the fourth track. It was released by Parlophone as the third single from ''Ghost Stories'' on 14 August 2014. The song was written by Guy Berryman, Jonny Buckland, Will Champion and Chris Martin, with production being done by Coldplay, Paul Epworth, Daniel Green and Rik Simpson, while American record producer Timbaland provided additional drums. The song's main instrumentation consists in heavy rhythms, dancing synths and wallowing strings. It also features a guitar solo. Lyrically, "True Love" talks about heartache and how the protagonist can't bear the pain of losing his lover. The song's lyrics were addressed to be about Martin's divorce from his wife Gwyneth Paltrow, a recurrent theme on the whole album. Martin has claimed that "True Love" is the band's favorite track it has ever written. The song garnered acclaim from music critics, who commended the song's raw honesty and its lyrics, which were seen as haunting and painfully truthful. Commercially successful in Belgium and the Netherlands, "True Love" did not chart on the UK Singles Chart. The accompanying music video for the song was directed by Jonas Åkerlund, who also directed the "Magic" video. It was shot in Los Angeles, choreographed by Blanca Li and centres around a tale of two ballet-loving outsiders, played by Martin and Canadian actress Jessica Lucas. == Background and release == After the success of their fifth studio album, ''Mylo Xyloto'' (2011), which sold more than 8 million copies worldwide and spawned the hit singles "Paradise" and "Princess of China", Coldplay planned to release a more stripped-down record.〔 Frontman Chris Martin claimed that the album is about "life itself and all its glorious colorfulness", while critics noted that it was inspired in Martin's divorce from actress Gwyneth Paltrow deemed it a "breakup album". Martin elaborated: Up to a certain point in my life I wasn't completely vulnerable and it caused some problems. If you don't let love in then you can't really give it back. So what "Ghost Stories" means to me is like, you've got to open yourself up to love and if you really do, of course it will be painful at times, but then it will be great at some point.〔 On 4 August 2014, the band announced "True Love" as the album's third single, along with its artwork, which was created by artist Mila Fürstová. The song was officially released on 14 August 2014.〔 Regarding the decision to release "True Love" as a single, Martin commented: Sometimes we'll pick a single knowing that it doesn't really fit into how singles should sound or do sound. Our whole philosophy, especially recently, has been to follow our gut feeling. If we feel like this record needs to be a bit smaller and shouldn't tour it, then we follow it, and we worry about the consequences afterwards. I think choosing 'True Love' as a single is probably the same kind of thing. Somehow for me it completes the trio of things that we want to represent the album. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「True Love (Coldplay song)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
