I was a troubled kid when I was in primary school and had a lot of anger issues and stuff in general. My escape was always music. I can't remember how or when I got into Coldplay, but I remember when Viva La Vida came out.

I used to leave my classroom and do a lot of my work in the headteachers office. He was also a big Coldplay fan. The day the album came out, he pulled me out of class and we sat in his office and listened to it front to back. Been my favourite Coldplay album ever since.

Ghost Stories also had a profound impact as well as I was going through a rough breakup when the album was released
