everglow
Popularized by the Coldplay song of the same name, "Everglow" is a feeling of peace or love that given by something or someone. Despite what a person has been through, this feeling continues to remain in their heart, no matter what.
Chris Martin was inspired to write a song based off of the word while at a beach. "I was in the ocean one day with this surfer guy, who spoke just like you'd imagine a surfer guy to speak … This guy spoke like Sean Penn's character from Fast Times at Ridgemont High. He was like, 'Yo dude, I was doing this thing the other day man, it gave me this total everglow!'
"I was like, 'What an amazing word.' Then the song came completely out, and to me, it's about – whether it's a loved one or a situation or a friend or a relationship that's finished or someone's passed away – I was really thinking about, after you've been through the sadness of something, you also get this everglow."
-Chris Martin (Sources: Rolling Stone and Zane Lowe's Beats 1 radio show)
