2005 single by Coldplay

"Talk" is a song by the British rock band Coldplay. Built around a motif from Kraftwerk's 1981 song "Computer Love", it was written by all members of the band and appeared on their third album, X&Y. In the United States, the song entered at number 86 on the Billboard Hot 100 and elsewhere in the world its success varied. It peaked at number one in the Netherlands on both the Dutch Top 40 and Single Top 100 charts, becoming the band's first number one single there. The song received positive reviews, with critics noting the music's sound and memorable lyrics. Both the song and its "Thin White Duke" remix were nominated for the 2007 Grammy Awards, the latter of which won in the category of Best Remixed Recording, Non Classical.

Coldplay had difficulties with the recording sessions for months, as to the sound of the track. They were skeptical in deciding to add "Talk" to the final track listing of X&Y. In a track by track interview given by the band on X&Y, bassist Guy Berryman reported that in response to the band's request, Kraftwerk founding member Ralf Hütter "said something like, 'Yes, you can use it, and thank you very much for asking my permission, unlike that bastard Jay Z'" (a reference to the latter's "(Always Be My) Sunshine", which uses a Kraftwerk sample). Martin also recalled in a 2007 article in Q magazine the process of requesting permission to use the melody: He sent a letter through the lawyers of the respective parties and several weeks later received an envelope containing a handwritten reply that simply said ″yes″. That riff was originally written by the former Kraftwerk member Karl Bartos. The band recorded three separate versions of the single; the one recorded on X&Y was based on an early cut of the song. An early version of the track – with a different set of lyrics – was leaked onto the internet in early 2005. The track was originally intended to be a B side for the song "Speed of Sound", before becoming the last addition to X&Y's track listing. As previously noted, the song features the main hook from Kraftwerk's "Computer Love", replicated by Jonny Buckland's electric guitar riffs throughout much of the track. Buckland also uses the hook as a chiming note for more abrasive riffs during the bridge (or breakdown) near the end of the song. The third line of the third verse is: "Tell me how do you feel?/Well I feel like they're talking in a language I don't speak/And they're talking it to me." In the fifth verse, Martin summarises about an individual who is lost and trying to discover the unknown: "So you don't know where you're going/But you want to talk/And you feel like you're going where you've been before/You'll tell anyone who will listen but you feel ignored." Tyrangiel interpreted the lyrics, "Are you lost or incomplete/ Do you feel like a puzzle, you can't find your missing piece/ Tell me how you feel", with Martin begging in the song. The single was pressed with two B sides: "Gravity" and "Sleeping Sun". In Australia, the single was issued on 16 January 2006. "Talk" peaked at number 10 in the UK Singles Chart on 31 December 2005. The song was released early in the Netherlands,

Critics were positive towards the song. In the PopMatters review of the album, critic Adrian Begrand wrote: "It's the excellent, and much talked about 'Talk' that has the band showing tremendous creativity, delving straight into mid '70s krautrock, and piecing together a gorgeous pop song." Bud Scoppa of Paste magazine wrote: "'Talk' stands out as an anthem in an album full of them." Dan Tallis of the BBC noted that the track was "fantastic" and "positively gargantuan". Jonathan Keefe of Slant magazine wrote: "'Talk' is given one of the album's most memorable melodies, but its impact is reduced by the song's structure, in which the lead guitar echoes Martin's vocal melody after every line, so that melody becomes tiresome well before the first chorus hits." Despite the positive reception of "Talk", Martin has stated that Berryman dislikes it, and thus they no longer perform the song live. The song was remixed by Jacques Lu Cont, with the title "Talk (Thin White Duke Mix)". The song by Lu Cont won the coveted Best Remixed Recording, Non Classical award at the 2007 Grammy Awards. "Talk" was also nominated for a Grammy award in the category of Best Rock Performance by a duo or Group with Vocals. The song was featured heavily in the season two CSI: NY episode "Jamalot", in which the character Danny Messer plays the song as a ringtone on his cell phone. The band's American record label, Capitol Records, paid for promotional consideration to place the song in the episode and for the character to talk about Coldplay. RTÉ Gold placed it at number 42 on their list of 100 Best Songs That Use Samples.
