My account turns a year old today! I wanted to make mine on a special day. I didn’t start posting until around July because I wasn’t really sure how the forum worked.

 

Also, look at this present I got today!

 

So we're not having Coldplaying Awards this year ?

 

I'd volunteer to run them if that's the issue ! @Captain Crieff @AMDB9

Happy anniversary ! We are happy to have you here !

Happy 2020 everyone! I can't believe we're going to see the 20th anniversaries of many of the old tours and songs soon

Has anyone heard about the terrible fire at Koko in Camden? I was devastated at the news, even though I've never personally been to a gig there. Walking past it coming back from Bakery visits made me all nostalgic thinking about the X&Y launch gig they did there back in '05. I remember reading that Chris just walked into the gig from his house beforehand. Here's hoping they manage to get the fire under control and save it.

Yeah, same. I walked past it literally 24 hours before that happened. Strange

Chris and Jonny gave a Tiny Desk concert. I wonder why Will and Guy weren't there.

Can’t believe there was literally no promo or announcement for this until people on the audience posted on social media, I like it though! This era really is full of surprises:blush:

Sometimes just Chris and Jonny do really small gigs together. If Guy and Will really wanted to be there I think they would've? Maybe they are like yeah man, you got this.

When your teenage kid requests you to sing them a little Coldplay before bed, you know you're doing something right. :heart_eyes:

I've just run across and watched this. I'm completely blown away by this video! He did an amazing job singing and recording this. Hands down he's brilliant. However in the clip he distracted me a bit with his dance moves. :joy:

Anyone heard about this? I just saw it on the BBC Breakfast programme and I’d love to hear it! Shame I don’t have that kind of money lying around...or in fact a cassette player to listen to it :D

Yeah, saw it ! I have a cassette player but not the money...

Saw this in a music store in town.

when your 5 year old (german) wants you to play her a music video "... you know, where the boy sings sometimes softly, sometimes loud ..." ... how much better can you described "something just like this"? :p

Recently I've realized that these days I don't listen to Coldplay as often as I would in the past. Thus I was trying to figure out why something like that had been happening to me. In the meantime deep down inside I was aware of the fact that I stiil loved the band and the music which they had been creating and releasing. Despite of that idea I would feel much more comfortable and relaxed when I was playing anyone else's songs bar those by Coldplay. However the other day something very interesting and impressive occurred to my mind. It was strange yet reasonable to a certain degree. I understood that for me Coldplay's music wasn't just the kind of music I would generally put on to kill time or fill the quiet surrounding me anymore. It didn't even feel right to listen to their music when I was resting (mostly procrastinating) or tidying in case I didn't have to carry out anything important or urgent. At some point it started acting as my so-called "cry pillow" or a reward to enjoy when i managed to achieve something. In other words it has happened to become such an exclusive and precious item of mine that I didn't want to keep turning it on every time I fancied doing so because of the fear that I would tarnish or degrade it. For example when the music video for Champion Of The World came out this Tuesday I didn't watch it immediately as I forced myself to play it after I take a test on Friday and incredibly I truly kept my word. It felt totally weird but I'm convinced that it was worth it. For better or worse I do know that I've adopted a really odd attitude towards Coldplay's music but somehow it functions well. After all people change and so do their opinions or point of views.

 

P.S. I was listening to the whole A Rush Of Blood To The Head album while typing this post.

A composition by Chris when he was 12 years old has been sold for £1,700. Wow!
