Moses (Coldplay song)


"Moses" is a song by British rock band Coldplay. It was written by all members of the band for their live album, Coldplay Live 2003. The song was released on 6 October 2003 as the only single from the album.

Background

The song was written about lead singer Chris Martin's then wife, Gwyneth Paltrow. Martin has said that the song is "about falling in love with the most beautiful woman in the world."
The song's title later served as the namesake for the couple’s second child, Moses Bruce Anthony Martin. It was written in mid-2002 after the sessions for A Rush of Blood to the Head and was intended for the follow-up album X&Y, but failed to make the album. So far only a live version of this song has been released.
