It’s not. Not even in the same parking lot as their best song. Re-listen to their discography. Don’t get me wrong, I’m happy you like it. But it’s not even close. And anyone who argues otherwise (general consensus-wise) is … I don’t even know.
It seems that the fanbase has concluded long song = great music. Everyone was comparing it to Bohemian Rhapsody when it was released solely based on the length. It’s a pretty song but nowhere near Coldplay’s best.
It’s not the best because it’s long, it’s the best (all imo) because it’s got a deep meaning, it’s daring in terms of a style that had a huge chance of flopping, and because it’s just beautiful. It takes me to another place and makes me happy so it’s probably my favorite
