Download of the Day 11-25: "Lovers in Japan" by Coldplay

Prospekt's March coverColdplay definitely knows how to keep their fans guessing.

For instance, the group, headed by the always intriguing Chris Martin, released "Lovers in Japan" to pop radio instead of "Lost!", which would have been a smash. Yet, the odd choice may have been inspired.

"Lovers in Japan" is a powerfully upbeat track. It's chock-full of lively and energetic instrumentation, such as the wonderful piano melody that is the backbone of the song. Paired with Martin's twisting vocals, "Lovers in Japan" is this irresistible force of positivity. That makes it a brilliant choice for a single. In this climate filled with dropping stocks and rising prices, a song about being lost wouldn't really go over well. However, a song about love underneath the Osaka sun?

Just the right song the country needs right now.
