"Shiver" is a song by English rock band Coldplay and is featured on their debut album, Parachutes. It was also released as the lead single from the album. Its lyrics ("So I look in your direction/But you pay me no attention, do you?") suggest "Shiver" most likely is about unrequited love.

"Shiver" is one of the older songs in Coldplay's catalogue, and had been performed at their early concerts since 1999. This was in contrast to other Parachutes tracks like "Yellow", "Everything's Not Lost", and "Trouble" that were written around New Year 2000.

On later legs of the A Rush of Blood to the Head Tour, the song was dropped from the setlist. The band has joked that they have grown tired of playing it for the past seven years. [1]
