Anyways, this thread is just to pick out a few of your favourite Coldplay tracks and list the emotions you relate with them, and if you have a little story as to why, that'd be neat too.

 

Anyways,

 

Parachutes

 

Don't Panic - Happiness. How can you not? Just kinda voices, during times when you're feeling well, how things are.

 

Spies - Unease. I just view this as their way of saying that there's people everywhere looking at you and judging, willing to fuck with you.

 

Yellow - Cheer. Showing what a girl means to you, what you've done for her, your way of saying how special she is.

 

Trouble - Inadequate. (sp) Just makes me think of how at times I've really felt something towards a girl, and yet all I can do is cause her grief.

 

We Never Change - Sorrow. Makes me sad with my friends, shows how everybody's fucked up and it's going to stay this way. Makes me look at friends in a different light

 

Everything's Not Lost - Glimma of hope. There's no dodging the subject, it's not all lost, you still have that ray of sunshine that the world isn't that bad.

 

A Rush Of Blood To The Head

 

Politik - Pounding energy. Nothing fancy.

 

The Scientist - Old girlfriends, wondering why it's really difficult. When I play it, though, I don't feel the same depression. Don't know.

 

Clocks - Unbridled joy. Haha. The gorgeous piano and dark voice combine to make me feel really good about life.

 

Green Eyes - Like a calm awe of special persons.

 

Warning Sign - Old people, girls and old friends I don't speak with much anymore. Girls I had something with and now it's gone, friends where the relationship is frayed.

 

Amsterdam - I don't know. I've never figured out exactly what it's about, but I love the song. This is one of the ones I can listen to in any mood, at times it makes me feel relaxed and happy, wheras others it depresses me immensely.

 

X&Y

 

What If - Like has been said, it's kinda like the anti-anthem to 'Imagine,' kind of that vein of the world is so sad and dim, what would it be like if it wasn't messed up? This speaks loudest to me when things are dark but I am praying for strength to overcome them.

 

Fix You - It's written to someone, but I kind of view it in a lower vein, kind of like it bothers me, is there anyone who would help me, who actually cares when I cry. Just how I've viewed it.

 

X&Y - Kind of like someone being carried away with love. The old love and water comparisons. I want to jump in, but can I? Then eventually, yeah, we're going away.

 

Speed Of Sound - Joy. Makes me happy with everything, every time the first chorus comes I can't help but close my eyes, smile and sing. Also makes me want to drive very fast. :)

 

'Till Kingdom Come - "For you I'd wait..." you know, special person, how you'd wait for them as long as it took for them to come around on you. This can actually be a depressing track for me, but overall it usually makes me happy.

 

What's special for you?

This thread is making me feel sexy :wink3:

I really like your post. It would take me a while to write down how they make me feel, so I appreciate you doing it. :) :blush:

This thread reminds me of that thing on the Live 2003 Tour Diary where the lady is describing Coldplay's music.

:cool: :cool: but I'm too lazy to write it down :P

Yeah...it really does.

"Coldplay's music creeps under your skin and nags away incessantly until you surrender"

This thread is giving me life. :) I'd have to bookmark tis page. :D

feeling good :)

"Coldplay's music creeps under your skin and nags away incessantly until you surrender"

 

Hahahaha that thing cracks me up, :lol: especially when they make it look like Chris is listening to it on his headphones, :lol: its so random.

 

Im gonna do a few of my faves and how they make me feel a bit later on. Great idea for a thread! :thumbsup:

Coldplay is real joy in the heart

Wow, isaac, you're very insightful! Is that the right word? Expressive. Uhhh... yeah you get my point.

 

Thinking about Coldplay makes me feel nostalgic. I don't know about you, but seriously, listening to Coldplay, it's a happy kind of nostalgia. The feeling that... they're so talented. Maybe that's just because I'm a pianist (amateur and I don't seek a career in music. Ever. Ever. Ever.) but *if* I became professional, I was just wishing that maybe I could play as well as Chris. Sometimes I listen to Coldplay and think "Man, that'd be so cool to play." Especially when it's your own music, ya know? My mom's always pushing me to practice piano by saying "Don't you wanna grow up to play like Chris Martin?" I always took as a joke like "Yeah, right." But now... I don't know, it's just amazing that there are such talented people in the world and I guess I just want to be like them. No one can really compare to the beauty of Coldplay's music, so everybody just sits back and aspires to become Coldplay one day. Yeah, that's me. So basically what it comes down to is nostalgia and awe. I don't see Coldplay as "just a band" and out of my CD player just comes music. It's just... more than that.

^Oh jeezus. Exactly.

 

Talk: It makes me feel sad... and worried. I've said why before. When I first heard it (June) and the words "Oh, brother I can't... I can't get through / I've been tryin hard to reach you 'cause I don't know what to do..." reached my ears, I actually had to force myself to keep listening. I was trying not to cry because it reminded me of my brother, who was in Iraq at the time. I'm really close to him.

 

So many times during his absence I just wished he was there so I could just talk to him. Since my sis moved out and he's been gone, I'm the oldest child around the house, so I have no one around my age to turn to for advice right away. "I don't know what to do." One day in particular I'd gotten in a fight with my younger sister (which isn't unusual, but that's what makes it so frustrating), and I just felt like UGH, you know? I wanted my bro to be there.

 

I went on a short drive with my mom and we played Talk. Big mistake. I ended up crying my eyes out in the car.

 

The first time my older sis listened to it, she also thought of it (on her own) as from me to my brother. It made her pretty sad, too.

 

Since my bro's back in the US now, it doesn't make me as sad... but still.

 

On a lighter note, Speed of Sound makes me want to fly. :vanish:
