Ivanneth Posted September 26, 2005 Share Posted September 26, 2005 Well....this may be a little bit old....or not. But I was reading this article from the coldplay.com site - the Sun article where the band is talking about the X&Y tracks and their views on the songs. And they were talking about the song "The hardest part" and they said: "Chris: The most pop and the most un-forward thinking song we've ever done. I'm sure we'll take a lot of flak for that song. Guy: For some reason it didn't quite fit with the rest of the songs, just from a stylistic point of view. SFTW: Sorry, this is the only track to really disappoint." :( I really like The Hardest Part! I don't really think that it's all that disappointing! Anyone else disagree with this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
victaniac Posted September 26, 2005 Share Posted September 26, 2005 Well I like it now but it wasn't my favorite at the beginning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I.Am.Will.Obsessed Posted September 26, 2005 Share Posted September 26, 2005 When I first heard it, I thought my CD had switched itself off into a country/pop cd. Freaked me out... But I do like it now, it's different from their other songs and part of being a great band, is re-working yourself and your sound. They certainly did that with The Hardest Part.

KM Posted September 26, 2005 Share Posted September 26, 2005 I guess The Hardest Part grows on people. I didn't care for it much at first, but now I like it a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
compguy347 Posted September 26, 2005 Share Posted September 26, 2005 that and twisted logic were the only two that i was completely blind to when buying the album. but they easily got my attention. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coldplay_steph Posted September 26, 2005 Share Posted September 26, 2005 I love the Hardest Part, but it sounds way to similar to REM's 'Loosing my Religion'....apart from that, its a fantastic song! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alyssa Posted September 26, 2005 Share Posted September 26, 2005 I don't really like The Hardest Part either. I guess I have the same preferences as the band, eh? :wink3: ...and after that 'inspired by porn' joke, I can't listen to that song without cracking up like crazy. haha.

mandymcnabb Posted September 26, 2005 Share Posted September 26, 2005 I like it, but sometimes it annoys me because it can get a bit to ryhmy. But I still love it. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kekita Posted September 26, 2005 Share Posted September 26, 2005 yeah i know what u mean but i never like to skip it :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mandymcnabb Posted September 26, 2005 Share Posted September 26, 2005 I only skip talk. Thats because it pisses me off that they didnt use the other one. :sneaky: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amsterdam528 Posted September 26, 2005 Share Posted September 26, 2005 I only skip talk. Thats because it pisses me off that they didnt use the other one. :sneaky: Likewise, but the new Talk has grown on me ever since I saw them play it live. As for The Hardest Part, I liked it at first, but recently, I've noticed that it just doesn't stack up against the others... :\ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sienna Posted September 26, 2005 Share Posted September 26, 2005 its truly disappointing to see that the band doesnt like one of my fav songs(perhaps my favorite). i know that i doenst fit with the theme with the album as well as the sound, but that doesnt necesarily mean is a bad song. i have to admitt, it wasnt my favorite since the begining but i have gotten the habit of listening to it, and know it has turned into an old time favorite. i think the main reason why people as well as the band say is bad, is simply because it is in the middle of songs that are very unlikely(low and Swallowed in the sea) if this song would have been part of another album im sure that it would have been a song that would have pleased everyone. the song instead of being bad, is truly refreshing, sort of a break of the "x&y" sound of the album....its a like a little gift.... :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
victaniac Posted September 26, 2005 Share Posted September 26, 2005 So I guess The Hardest Part is AROBTTH's A Whisper. Not many fans of that track, either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sienna Posted September 26, 2005 Share Posted September 26, 2005 ^ yeah i agree! although a whisper is actually one heck one of a song!!!! :D i guess im just a fan outcasts.... :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sofy Posted September 26, 2005 Share Posted September 26, 2005 but a whisper had the emotion of AROBTTH...though i kinda hated it at the begining, 2 years later i became a total fan of that song. And The hardest part is one of my faves since i listened to the album for the first time :dozey: And i do think it kins of fits after all...the album is about opposites, right? they also said that on another interview.......whatever, if they put it on their album there is no chance that they dont like it!!! c'mon! :cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam Posted September 26, 2005 Share Posted September 26, 2005 I still dont like the hardest part..... kekita when the hell do you log on because you posted at 2am and at 5am, do you not sleep? :huh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marky Posted September 26, 2005 Share Posted September 26, 2005 I like the hardest part, but apparently it doesn't go down very well live, hence they took it off the set list Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
