This part always gets me: "Stood on the edge, tied to the noose And you came along and you cut me loose You came along and you cut me loose" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jc90 Posted July 26, 2017 Share Posted July 26, 2017 ^right, but hey, that's not to say there weren't other songs I've used when I felt like that. Sparks comes to mind personally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This part always gets me: "Stood on the edge, tied to the noose And you came along and you cut me loose You came along and you cut me loose" I find it crazy that those exact verses fit so well to the situation described. And I agree, Amsterdam is amazing. It's easily on my top 5 favourite Coldplay songs, ending AROBTTH perfectly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Krizer Posted July 26, 2017 Share Posted July 26, 2017 When I was listening to other music on Spotify, I got this wonderful ad (it just says in Finnish "Coldplay's new hit, listen to Miracles (Someone Special) here") :blush: I've been feeling a bit down lately, and this just made me smile immediately 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What a touching story... if this is true, it's actually something wonderful. Amsterdam is a very deep and powerful song. I think it really helps to understand our own fears and demons. One of their best masterpieces, that's for sure. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jc90 Posted July 26, 2017 Share Posted July 26, 2017 yeah, and that subreddit doesnt get quite the traffic as coldplaying, but still, an influx of support for that user came out of nowhere! very cool to see, and i expect nothing less from coldplay fans. @getithom you gotta get your subreddit's twitter account to tweet this! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Odetoantiperspirant Posted July 27, 2017 Share Posted July 27, 2017 Always wondered why Amsterdam from AROBTTH is called Amsterdam 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yoyo2000 Posted July 27, 2017 Share Posted July 27, 2017 Always wondered why Amsterdam from AROBTTH is called Amsterdam I think that it is written for a crush of Chris that was from the Netherlands. That's how I explain this, but it could have another meaning. --------------------------------------- फृआगइआष 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alisbe Posted July 27, 2017 Share Posted July 27, 2017 I had a Coldplay related dream :) I dreamt I was queuing for the concert and even though I arrived when there were many fans I had the chance to be closed to the entrance. When we entered the venue I looked for the main stage but it was too high and a high barrier we need to escalate to be able to see the band. then I looked for b stage and it was short with no barrier and a bench for the firsf row. I thought that was the best option because I could have the opportunity to give my phone to chris to record just like he's done at some other shows :p I don't think I saw the band in my dream :D 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hedwig Posted July 27, 2017 Share Posted July 27, 2017 Always wondered why Amsterdam from AROBTTH is called Amsterdam I think I have read somewhere in an interview that it's called Amsterdam because Chris wrote this song while in Amsterdam and that this is the only reason and the song is not connected with the city in any other way. Oracle has also confirmed this. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always thought highly of it anyways, but the songs have hit another level now. man, iunno what id do without this band update: today, the first tune on my playlist was Up&Up, and again, such great appreciation I have now for the song. Same idea where I liked the song before, but now even more so. Right at the first line Fixing up a car to drive in it again really struck a cord with me to pick myself up and get back at it. Edit: rewatching the and its speaking to me so much. I would love to just learn from Chris 'cause I feel like hes in a state where I want to be right now. another edit: thanks for the likes and whatnot as well, even that's picking me up a bit. one of you actually sent a PM to me as well, and it made me really happy. coldplayers are the best 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldiefan Posted July 28, 2017 Share Posted July 28, 2017 I have a Canon Powershot G7X. [emoji4] Haha ! Good Grief !!! :eek: I have one of those, but I don't use it for the gigs......... I must in the future. Thanks. :heart: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldiefan Posted July 28, 2017 Share Posted July 28, 2017 OMG! I swear today I've just been thinking about that... when would they do an album like that? On the other hand, I've also been thinking about how great would be a possible tour to commemorate the 10th anniversary of VLV, just like U2 did with The Joshua Tree. I know it's crazy because next year they won't go on tour again, but it would be totally awesome!! I would LOVE to go to a concert of VLV era... I'll always hate myself for not being a fan back in 2008... they even came to my city in that tour... ooghh :sob: Same here - one of the biggest regrets of my life. :pensive: 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
