Seriously, why even bother with the request thing? They've been playing IMP/Don't Panic and either UATW/TKC for months now. Althought they did play Trouble a couple of times iirc.

yep, that didn't last long..

Well thats what he thought before they did a duet. But now Liam thinks they sound "fucking great"

 

Still though, I wont deny the obvious. I hate to say it, but Liam is similar to Donald Trump and people feed off of it.

Actually this quote is about performing the duet at the Manchester show.

I once heard this interview talking about it, here is a transcript:

Thanks for this - interesting !

Also, it was great to learn that IN MY PLACE was 'born' in Liverpool , MY place - my home.

IN MY PLACE

Chris: ‘In my Place' is the oldest pivotal song. Just when we were finishing our last record, ‘Parachutes', we were in Liverpool in this little room that had been great on the last record and the record was basically finished so we were all packing up and ready to go. And the album was coming out in about a week. It was a really fine- timing thing, and I was just sat at this organ that my friend lent me, this pump organ, that you have to sit and pedal like that, you know, that was really designed for sea- shanties and drunken sailors but I wasn't either so I was thinking, let's try a sea-shanty, I don't know if I have to do the actions, but these chords just came out and it was at a time when it was just a bit too late on the last record we suddenly discovered things like Jimmy Cliff and all that and even ‘Whiter Shade of Pale'. I'm not saying it's as good as that, I'm saying it's better, no, I'm not, and so that tune we've had pretty much since the end of the last record. But we knew we really liked it and so it's been the lynchpin of this record. Around which everything else has been written.

 

 

Funny vid, but im sharing this here because there's a nice little piano rendition of Fix You at the end

Anyone like Ode to Deodorant? Chris says 'It's shit' but I think it's pretty good.

Let's put it like that, even though the lyrics are ridiculous and it sounds very unrefined in general it already showcases some of the classic strengths of Coldplay imho - emotional crooning, a neat arrangement (closer to the ending at least)... :)

I love Ode To Deoderant! Yes, the lyrics are a bit... you know, but I absolutely love the song! It is a fine piece of art.

LMAO, why is this video freaking #2 on TRENDING?

probably because they're mentioning jake paul :P

but they did during MX era :heart_eyes:

and i remember Chris once said that they couldn't play Green Eyes because it was about "the wrong person" but look at where we are now :p

oh wow really? I guess these songs are evolving as time goes, both in meaning to the band and I guess in general.

Has anyone read 1984? After reading it, I thought that it could have possibly connected to Violet Hill. I saw this through the lyrics:

 

It was a long and dark December

From the rooftops I remember

There was snow, white snow

Clearly I remember

From the windows they were watching

While we froze down below

 

And especially the line : "If you love me, won't you let me know?"

 

Anyone else see the connection?

could you maybe explain the connection you're seeing to those of us who haven't read 1984? :P

Spoiler alert* (just skip this post I'm unable to put it in the spoiler box)

 

 

I know Winston and Julia had a very loose love of some sort that was tied to Julia's rebellion and Winston physically trying to feel less old or something like that. They were under a LOT of pressure. And things did turn cold by the end imo.

They've been 'on tour w/coldplay' for like a year and a half, yet they still dont know the name of one of Coldplay's biggest hits lol

Q: What devices and equipment are needed to watch the VR livestream of Coldplay?

A: Consumers will need a Gear VR with a compatible Samsung smartphone, plus an internet connection. It may also be preferred to wear headphones, but that is up to the user. Once in Gear VR, navigate to the Samsung VR app within the Oculus Store, which is where the livestream will live. The Samsung VR service is available at no additional cost to the customers.

So bummed. I was even considering investing in a Samsung VR gear for 45 EUR but it is only compatible with Galaxy S6 and beyond, and I have the Galaxy S5 :weary_face:
