amsterdam528 Posted December 8, 2005 Share Posted December 8, 2005 The original rumor was spoons, but I think Will himself came out and said crystal glasses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shiverr Posted December 15, 2005 Share Posted December 15, 2005 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

els Posted January 3, 2006 Share Posted January 3, 2006 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.
