“Fix You,” translated into Spanish as “Repararte,” is a song by the British band Coldplay. The song was co-written by all members of the band for their third studio album, titled X&Y. The composition features a church-style organ, accompanied by drums that set a slow, steady rhythm, and a chorus sung by all members of the band. It was officially released on May 12, 2005, during the episode "The O.Sea" of the television series The O.C., and was subsequently released as a single on September 5, 2005, serving as the album’s second single. It reached number four on the UK Singles Chart and number 59 on the Billboard Hot 100. Promotional singles were distributed in both the United States and the United Kingdom. In 2009, the song was included on the band’s live album LeftRightLeftRightLeft. The song was well-received by critics, with its melody receiving particular praise. Parts of the song were sampled in other compositions. It was nominated for several awards in categories such as Best Song for its music and lyrics, as well as Summer Anthem. Following its release, the music video became a tribute to the victims of the July 7, 2005, London bombings. During the song’s creation, lead singer Chris Martin considered the use of a church organ essential. Ultimately, he chose to use an old keyboard that his father-in-law, Bruce Paltrow, had given to his daughter, Gwyneth. It is suggested that Martin wrote the song for his ex-wife, Gwyneth Paltrow, following the death of her father. In an interview about the song’s development, Martin commented: “My father-in-law Bruce Paltrow bought this keyboard shortly before he died. No one had ever played it. When I did, I could appreciate this incredible sound I’d never heard before, and that’s how all these songs came out of this beautiful instrument. Something has to inspire you for the music to emerge.” He also stated that, in his opinion, “it’s the most important song we’ve written.” Bassist Guy Berryman mentioned that the song draws some inspiration from Jimmy Cliff’s “Many Rivers to Cross.” Berryman also noted that, despite the influences, the song has a sound that is distinct to the band. “Every time you try to write a song like someone else, it ends up sounding completely different,” he added. The song features piano and pipe organ accompaniment. It begins as an electric organ ballad, with Martin’s falsetto, and then incorporates an acoustic guitar and piano. The sound alternates between a three-note guitar line and a drum accompaniment that sets the rhythm. The varied instrumentation includes a church organ that sustains the harmonic plane, piano, electric and acoustic guitar ostinatos, drums, and a chorus sung by the entire band. The lyrics, written by Martin, convey a “message of encouragement,” in his own words. This is especially reflected in the chorus verses: “The lights will guide you home / and light up your bones / and I’ll try to heal you.” Michele Hatty of USA Weekend noted that Martin sings about recovering from deep sorrow. Travis Gass of the Bagnor Daily News wrote that “Martin offers his sympathy to the downtrodden” with the lines “When you love someone, but it doesn’t work out / What could be worse?” Gass concludes by noting that the song bears a certain resemblance to Queen’s “Bohemian Rhapsody,” released in 1975.
