disguised as sensitivity that marked Bono's mighty mullet period." Tyrangiel interpreted the lyrics, "Are you lost or incomplete/ Do you feel like a puzzle, you can't find your missing piece/ Tell me how you feel", with Martin begging in the song. Release Coldplay released "Talk" in the UK and US on 19 December 2005 as the album's third single. The single was pressed with two B-sides: "Gravity" and "Sleeping Sun". In Australia, the single was issued on 16 January 2006. "Talk" peaked at number 10 in the UK Singles Chart on 31 December 2005. The song charted at number 86 on the Billboard Hot 100 and reached number five on the Billboard Hot Modern Rock Tracks in 2005. The song was released early in the Netherlands, thus charting in the Dutch Top 40. It reached number one the closing week of 2005. The band performed the song live at the 2005 MTV Europe Music Awards in Lisbon, Portugal, the 2006 Juno Awards in Halifax, Nova Scotia, and the 2006 Grammy Awards in Los Angeles, California. Reception Critics were positive towards the song. In the PopMatters review of the album, critic Adrian Begrand wrote: "It's the excellent, and much talked-about 'Talk' that has the band showing tremendous creativity, delving straight into mid-'70s krautrock, and piecing together a gorgeous pop song." Bud Scoppa of Paste magazine wrote: "'Talk' stands out as an anthem in an album full of them." Dan Tallis of the BBC noted that the track was "fantastic" and "positively gargantuan". Jonathan Keefe of Slant magazine wrote: "'Talk' is given one of the album's most memorable melodies, but its impact is reduced by the song's structure, in which the lead guitar echoes Martin's vocal melody after every line, so that melody becomes tiresome well before the first chorus hits." Despite the positive reception of "Talk", Martin has stated that Berryman dislikes it, and thus they no longer perform the song live. The song was remixed by Jacques Lu Cont, with the title "Talk (Thin White Duke Mix)". The song by Lu Cont won the coveted Best Remixed Recording, Non-Classical award at the 2007 Grammy Awards. "Talk" was also nominated for a Grammy award in the category of Best Rock Performance by a duo or Group with Vocals. The song was also used as the basis of a downloadable hoax track titled "Talk to David" produced as an April Fools' Day
