dont any of you see any similarities in songs from both albums? i dont know if there is any with Parachutes, but i see most of them in the 2 latest albums.

 

Examples:

 

Fix You = The Scientist

In My Place = Talk

Politik = White Shadows/Square One (???)

Clocks = Speed of Sound

 

eh...what do you think? sorry if this sounds stupid lol, just making conversation

Clocks = Speed of Sound

 

 

OMG!!!

 

I've always felt like there were many similarities between them,finally someone agrees with meee

YAY!!!!! someone agrees with me too. :D

Yeah, that's what I thought too. 'cause the piano... it's like the same rhythm.

wow i thought this wouldve been weird posting this but seems like some of your agree :D

y'know...

 

me 'n my sis played the piano parts to Speed of Sound and Clocks together at the same pitch 'n everything on the piano and they kinda harmonize.

 

they fit together perfectly :lol:

yes! speed of sound sounds alot like clocks!!! how it begins out and such.

 

ive always thought this, though the meanings of the two songs are different, green eyes and a message sound similar. well, at least how they start out.

Coldplay is Coldplay.......so I don't care :rolleyes:

Ehh, Clocks and Speed of Sound were meant to sound alike. Chris has said that SoS was to be a bridge between AROBTTH and X&Y.

 

I can see Fix You & The Scientist, not in terms of music sounding alike but maybe style. Politik & White Shadows/Square One are completely different in almost every way, in me humbly opinion.

I'm going to have to go ahead and disagree with you on that

 

speed of sound and clocks do have piano riffs starting the song,

 

but the chord progression and even the actual notes used in the progressions are not the same.

 

plus speed of sound has a great left hand piano part that adds to the opening riff which if it was only the right hand (like in Clocks), it would be just a simple riff

 

Also, the first two notes in speed of sound are repeated in each bar of music with a descending third note. Add in the syncopated left hand piano part and you have a memorable piano line.

 

And the bridge to Speed of Sound is one of the best (thanks in part to Kate Bush's Running Up the Hill). G A Bm7

 

Again, there maybe superficial similiarities (such as using a piano to open) but overall, I don't think clocks and speed of sound are as similar as everyone makes them out to be.

Green Eyes=A Message

I don't really think The Scientist is simular to Fix You.

More Amsterdam = Fix You.

Don't you think?

 

I agree, Fix You builds up like Amsterdam.

many of their songs seems to be the "second part" of another

only an example:

1)The World Turned Upside Down-->2)White Shadows

 

1)"We're part of a bigger plan, don't know what it is"

2)"We're part of a system plan"

 

It means something for me a bit crazy i think :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :P :P

Fix You and The Scientist as similar in the fact that they are the lynchpins of their respective albums. Other than that, they're completely different songs.

Lynchpin of AROBTTH is In My Place and NOT The Scientist... Chris said that in VH1 Storytellers...

I think there are more contrasts than comparisons between A Rush... and X&Y.

 

AROBTTH is more of a black and white toned album. The songs are all immediate, and the sound has a foggy texture to it. And also the whole thing's about heartbreak.

 

X&Y is way more ambient sounding, and the whole thing is about insecurity. And also the songs are massive sounding, but are ironically very intimate.
