In response to my hating on Coldplay among others...

The secret to writing a new Coldplay hit:
1) Pick out four or five notes on the piano, put them in order so they sound cool, then repeat them for 3.5 minutes.
2) Go though your U2 collection until you find a tune that fits. Sing it over the piano line, only at half the original tempo.
3) Write some lyrics that rhyme, and sound like they might be thoughtful. Be sure to include at least one word you can stretch out as long as possible.
4) Give it a title. Preferably something thoughtful, yet easy to understand. Do not use words that are more than 1 or 2 sylables long, so as not to confuse any music executives who may be nearby.
There! You're now on your way to your first Top 40 hit!
