M Marks The Spot Posted March 1, 2020 Share Posted March 1, 2020 (edited) 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.

Edit: RIP signature A lot of things are sort of broken right now but I’ll sort it out tomorrow. I’ve been working on this for 8 straight days and today it is finally working! There’s a bunch of issues including colour mismatches (clearly), spam, code issues and more. All will be fixed soon! 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I ran away Posted March 30, 2020 Share Posted March 30, 2020 (edited) I can imagine what an effort it was, and I'm so glad it's back ! I was just shocked at the amount of spam threads that apparently get thrown at Coldplaying everyday (a lot of them here with older dates) but that are filtered out and we never got to see them before ! Wow. Makes you appreciate the whole forum even more, somehow. Edited March 30, 2020 by I ran away typo 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Crieff Posted March 30, 2020 Share Posted March 30, 2020 Looking good already! (apart from the known issues) and the fact that the old smileys are gone again, but I know why (they somehow prevented the whole database from importing and Stephen promised to bring them back faster this time) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I ran away Posted April 10, 2020 Share Posted April 10, 2020 On this day exactly 5 years ago, a young and innocent person who was just getting really into Coldplay wanted to sign up on a forum called Coldplaying. Faced with the question of what to pick as a username, she decided to go with a Coldplay song that she had only recently discovered but that spoke to her, in a way, more than any other: I Ran Away. And the rest, as they say, is history... ❤️ 8 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
