recently I've been playing a set that consisted muchly of the more anthemic coldplay tunes, and to finish the set more epically I want to play either amsterdam or swallowed in the sea, but they're both as good as the other and I'm stuck. which would you rather hear as the last song in a set if you went to a local gig?

dear o dear! choices!

to finish the set wouldn't it be better to play Fix You .. a real epic ending

i suppose out of Swallowed In The Sea and Amsterdam i would choose Swallowed In The Sea although Amsterdam has some really nice piano parts to it :/ ... you can't go wrong with either really

i voted for Swallowed in the sea

'Amsterdam' - just because of the huge climax (*snigger*) at the start of the last verse

 

Althought I do prefer 'Swallowed In The Sea' as a song, I don't think it's end-of-set material.

 

But I agree that 'Fix You' would be even better.

I don't know but to me when you put Swallowed in The Sea and Amsterdam in the same sentence,it just doesn't make sense,because to me Amsterdam is miles and miles better,one of Coldplay's best,while the other is merely a mediocre Coldplay song,so what I'm saying here is I'd rather hear AMSTERDAM.

yeah i kind of agree with you, swallowed in the sea isn't a closing song. fix you is an amazing close. amsterdam is a good closer as well, so i voted for that over swallowed in the sea. not sure which i like better though.

 

twisted logic could make a pretty good closer.

:lol: :lol: :lol:

oh god i'm just like you

 

yeah, amsterdam

amsterdam is a better song, i mean i prefer the lyrics

I Like "Swallowed In The Sea", but I've always loved "Amsterdam". It's more closing material anyway. ;)
