Strawberry Swing is a track included on Coldplay's fourth album.
This is one of several potential album cuts with Afro-pop and high-life influences: Here, distortion-free finger-picked guitars which sound straight out of Mali mix with a heavy bassline and psychedelic synths. "My Mum comes from Zimbabwe, so I spent a lot of time there," says Martin. "I used to work in a studio where people played that." More gentle than much of the album, it is built around a repetitive African-inspired guitar as a blissed-out Martin sings the touching and slightly psychedelic love song about "such a perfect day".

"The sky could be blue I don't mind, without you it's a waste of time."
''They were sitting
They were sitting on the strawberry swing
Every moment was so precious''
