"In My Place" is a song by English alternative rock band Coldplay. The song was written collaboratively by all the band members for their second album, A Rush of Blood to the Head. The track is built around thumping drums, chiming guitars and a chorus. It was released on 5 August 2002 as the lead single from A Rush of Blood to the Head and reached number two on the UK Singles Charts. The song reached number seventeen on Billboard's Modern Rock Tracks.
"In My Place" was well received by critics. The song was complimented for its music and profound lyrics. "In My Place" won the award for Best Rock Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocal at the 45th Grammy Awards. The music video was nominated for two MuchMusic Video Awards in 2003 in the categories of Best international video–group and People's Choice: Favorite international group.
In an interview, Buckland revealed that the song was hard to record, as the band had played the song live. He also commented that when they started recording the song, they did not know how the song should sound, due to the band members' contrasting ideas.
The song opens with a single crash cymbal followed by two bars of 4/4 drumming, then a plaintive three-note guitar line rings through a strummy rhythm, and Martin's vocals. Its instrumentation is varied with the sound of thumping drums, chiming guitars, a singalong chorus, and a string arrangement. The song also features a guitar lick swirl.
The three lines of the third verse allude to a man's love of a woman, who does not reciprocate his love. He is saying he will always wait for her, but he does not think that she should stay where she is any longer. The lyrics emphasize: "But I wait for you/if you go, if you go/leaving me here on my own/well I wait for you." The song's lyrics also include references to a desire for weary optimism.
"In My Place" peaked at number two on UK Singles Charts on 17 August 2002, kept off the top by "Colourblind" by Darius Danesh. It stayed at number two until 23 November 2002. The song reached number eighteen on Billboard's Hot Modern Rock Tracks in 2002. The band were yet to have a number one single. In 2005, "Speed of Sound", the lead single of the band's third album, X&Y;, also reached number two, but never the number one position. "Speed of Sound" was marked as Coldplay's most successful single until "Viva la Vida", reached number one in 2008.
A live recording of In My Place from Glastonbury Festival 2011 was released to download on Sunday 26th June, 2011.
"In My Place" won a Grammy Award in the category of Best Rock Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocal at the 2003 Grammy Awards. The song was nominated for two MuchMusic Video Awards for Best international video–group and People's Choice: Favorite international group.
In 2003, "In My Place" was featured on Coldplay's live album, Live 2003. The song appeared in the 2006 episode "Saving Sammy" on CBS' television series Cold Case. The song was used as a closing montage song about a case from 2003. The track appeared again on an episode of the television series Fastlane. The song is also featured in as playable in Guitar Hero 5 (2009).
