Check it out...Chris is walking out of the restaurant as the Kate Beckinsale look-a-like is walking in...he's also really good friends with Danny the lead singer for whom he co-wrote the song "Gravity." This is actually a great album for any fans of Coldplay...

as for the song.. I like it!! I think I am going to pick this one up.... ;)

The guy with skinhead? Are you sure? :stunned:

Do yourself a favor and pick up the album...it's really solid from start to finish. These guys should be touring with Coldplay...

I wish they would open for them here in NY... I would be looking forward to it...

That's also Chris playing the keyboard at the beginning! I can't see it through that link, but I searched for it and Chris comes out a hecka of alot! At the beginning and throughout they show him playing keyboards and in that restaurant! Very cool.

 

Chris also sings a little at the beginning...right?

Chris wrote this song and plays the piano in this Embrace video....

o I did notice him on the piano.. but I thought that was an Embrace guy that looked lik Chris!! :lol: :embarrased:

guys it is an embrace member who looks like chris that plays the piano NOT CHRIS in GRAVITy anyway

Chris wrote this song and plays the piano in this Embrace video....

:o

 

Chris wrote that song too?! What the hell? How many songs is he going to write for Embrace? Jeez...that band needs to start writing it's own songs. Sounds good though, but Chris has enough trouble writing for Coldplay! Oy. :confused:

guys it is an embrace member who looks like chris that plays the piano NOT CHRIS in GRAVITy anyway

 

 

well we're not talking about Gravity :P we're talking about this one!! :P

 

 

But after looking again... thats not Chris!!! :lol:

Ok...there are 2 videos...one with Chris playing piano (Gravity) and in the other one (Looking As You Are) he simply makes a cameo (a'la Alfred Hitchcock or M Night Shymalan) in the restaurant...that is not him in the studio at the end...

 

Peace,

B

Oof. So it's not Chris?

 

I suppose he can look like the guy to the far left with a quick glance...

Chris wrote this song and plays the piano in this Embrace video....

actually Camille someone was talking about Gravity!

Martin originally wrote the song (Gravity) for Coldplay but as it developed it became clear to him that the song might be better suited to Embrace. As he explains, “We’ve always loved Embrace and Danny is one of my best friends. When we wrote Gravity we thought it sounded far too much like them for us, but not too much like them for them, so I asked Danny if he wanted the song and that was that.”

Yeah and the Coldplay version is better :smug: Well I like the Coldplay version better..

You know the tale by now: written by Chris Martin - made by Embrace. Although it's unfair to compare Martin's embryonic vision of the tune to that finally realised by his chums, it's fair to say that it wouldn't have come out anything like this; this resonant, rotating totally-in-love song. "It just filled a hole" said Danny about its place on Out Of Nothing, but in fact it serves as an aural brake, if anything, taking stock and a look at the stars before moving on, forward, to the job in hand. From Chris's distinctive piano intro, made warm and pliable in Mickey Dale's capable hands, "Gravity" expands to fill itself out in a way that would befit only its adoptive parents and yet still make biological father proud. Frayed expectations and furrowed brows were smoothed into smile by the second verse, feet were tapped in time to Rick's sky-kissing outro and people both sides of the Atlantic requested just one more play. A muscular yet yielding return to form, a mark of humility and statement of friendship, when Chris Martin stated that Gravity was more Embrace than he knew what to do with, he was also more right than perhaps he realised.

chris isnt in the gravity video tho

 

god the first page is so confusing

You really did'nt need tell us all this. Gravity has been around for getting on 2 years now and we have been big fans of the song.

 

Chris doesn't play the piano in the Gravity video. It's clearly not him. :rolleyes:

 

And, I don't like what Embrace did to the song that much........the version that most people have when chris played it live (with Jonny creating some soundscapes in the background) is far better the the embrace version, in my amazing opinion.

 

:dozey:

^Kirst! I love your av! :blush:
