Chicago Tribune, Gene Kot May 15th

 

A similar spirit guided the most productive sessions for "X&Y." Martin was in Chicago with Paltrow while she was filming the forthcoming movie "Proof" in October 2003. He was enchanted with the fresh air blowing off Lake Michigan and the city's skyline, so he summoned Buckland from London to join him at Chicago Recording Company studios on Ohio Street. More than a dozen songs were written, including four that survived to become the core of the next album...

 

(great article)

I thought you meant Chicago the movie :lol:

 

But no, Proof is a very old song so it can't possibly be inspired by something like a new movie coming up. Thanks for the story though!

"Proof" is the name of a movie that Gwyn was shooting in Chi-town...while Chris was there with her....writing....

I know, it's in the bside of Speed of Sound. But Proof is also a very old song, that was written before Gwyneth's movie. I think that's just coincidence that she's filming a movie named after a Coldplay track.

It could get used on the soundtrack though - it could work well..!!! :cool:

Actually I know for a fact that Proof the song was named for the movie because I saw it performed live and after the show when I talked to Chris he said he wrote it while she was filming and it might be on the soundtrack of the film, so it is no coincidence.

I thought you meant Chicago the movie :lol:

 

 

Me too! :lol:

Man... I love his humour. So wry, so over the top. He really nitpicks all their failings and magnifies them 100% and broadcasts them to the whole world :D

*sigh* My band - the most adorable band in the world...

 

Thanks boshea for the article, some bling for ya :)

i remember in some past article, Spin maybe, chris referred to chicago as "the best place in the world." living near chicago, thats pretty sweet to hear

of course chicago is awesome. :cool:

 

that's why gwyneth was at the Metro this May to see him perform there...

 

i remember when she was filming the movie proof and i thought it was way too coincidental that he made that song at around the same time.. i assumed it was because of her.
