My Story

 

I am new here, just posted for the first time, but I don't think it registered. Here it is again...my experince... Coldplay!!!

I actually moved from Vancouver (Can.) six months befor their first show here ever. Brilliant egh? I missed that show! Anyway, I moved back to Vancouver from Victoria about 14 months ago and managed to get tickets for the second of two shows here (sandwiched between Seattle and San Fransisco), which they played friday despite mild food poisoning!

Chris Martin and the band, I should say Coldplay, are simple put, a musical phenomenom we are not likely to see the likes of again in our lifetime. For me Chris Martin is in the same league of talent as John Lennon, Bob Dylan, Paul Simon... and many of the other great artists that have lived. I should explain... I'm a musician!! The concert re-arranged every molecule in my brain!! Is it pure serendipity that I see Coldplay live for the first time on the 250th anniversary (to the day) of my favourite classical composer Motzart??!!! And it's like BOOM! COLDPLAY LIVE!!!!!

I am currently learning every song from X&Y and then A Rush to he Head and Yellow. I am completly taken aback by the magnificent beauty of this most obviously heartfelt collection of tunes. Tunes!! The ballad must be as old as time itself. Every age has it's own spirit minstral and we have ours. And out from that time steps.....COLDPLAY!!!

Every song on this cd is as good as or better than every other tune! How do you do that trick??! The depth of emotion and accompanying melodic beauty create a rare glimpse into life itself, in all its Emotional Power and Beauty. The beauty of music is that it can change your heart chemistry. Me, I've alwys felt like "White Shadows"!! This song puts me on that WAVE AND I AM GONE IN A PERMANMENT STATE!!! PART OF A SYSTEM A PLAN!! When I was a kid I looked up at the stars and I KNEW there was a God. This music for me evokes similar feelings.

The melodies are so beautifull. This music will stand the test of time. This music will be listened to decades from now and they will wish to have been the lucky ones... to have been there live, if only just once!

I have 7 songs figured out on piano, 5 almost and 2 perfect. I play guitar also. I play along to my to favs , White shadow and Talk. What perfect ART, OH WHAT PERFECT HARMONY THIS IS. What perfect art it is....

In ending I just want to say how inspiring I find your music. I truly wish you and the guys long happy lives. And thank you for the obvious hard work that went into this cd, it is as close to perfect as it gets. We seem to like it, and that's all that matters in the end!!!

Awwwww...AMEN to that my friend. I really hope the guys get to read that sometime.

 

Welcome to the site by the way.

 

:)

Every song on this cd is as good as or better than every other tune!

:) totally agree. great to see that you saw them on Mozarts anniversary :cool:

i'm not sure if they check the site but it was mentioned by Richard Ashcroft (hope i spelt it right :huh: ) Verve guy that they check some sites so with any luck they may be reading your post :stunned: :D

I just figured out how this system works. You will here more from me. Do you ever think there's a link between global warming, fair trade, wars and the music of people like coldplay, u2, radiohead??

These four lads will accelerate the expansion of care in this world. Care, that's :/ is all this world is lacking, care.
