that blinging or i somethin' (don't know how to call it) during the song..what's that?

 

i read somewhere that's played on crystal glasses..

The original rumor was spoons, but I think Will himself came out and said crystal glasses.

Yes i believe it was Will who said it was crystal wine glasses, if you want proof go to one of the latest ezines on coldplay.com i saw it there.

It's strange how it adds so much to the song!

yep..and it sounds so strong and clear.

I like it.. :) :) :) sounds nice..

 

Yeah I guess "wine glasses" :D :D

haha and all this time i thought it was a xylophone.. or glockenspiel.. or one of those percussion instruments =)

never realised it was that :lol:

how cool, it sounds great..

i thought it was spoons :lol:

Yes, it is glass.

 

This is what Chris said in an interview about Low (it was about the inspiration of their songs):

"In 'Low' you can hear glass jingle: stolen from 'Unfinished Sympathy' of Massive Attack. It is no sample, we recorded ourselves, but 5 minutes after we listened to that song."

(I hope the translation is right, if not, excuse me for my English)

 

By the way, about the other songs he said that they had stolen a lot of ideas from Brian Eno (especially from his instrumental album 'Apollo'), Talk was inspired by Kraftwerk and the chords of Speed Of Sound's chorus came from 'Running Up That Hill' from Kate Bush.
