"Beautiful bone structure? Yes. Bones on their own? Serial killer." :laugh4:

 

CHILDREN OF THE CORN EYES, WTF. :laugh4: Oh! Corn can be yellow! That guy just added a line to the song!

 

Hmmm... well... the page layout's nice. :laugh4: Thanks, RYKO!!

Wow that's the most rediculous thing i ever heard haha. That guy sounds really dumb saying those things lol. He's definitely not a poetic type of person and is much much too literal lol haha. I mean he makes less sense than the song lol.

Gah :sick: So many people seemed to have totally missed the irony of this article :rolleyes:

 

I thought it was hillarious :lol: Cheers RYKO!

i never understood this line, from chris himself or anyone else. im pretty picky about lyrics, but coldplay has some of the best ive ever heard. i just connect with some of their lines.

of course, it is everyones own interpretation, but i dont understand why so many people think that coldplay could improve on their lyrics. i find them wonderful.

 

I totally agree with this, I really connect with their lyrics too. Even tho they might not be "logical" I have such a great feeling when listening to them. Like, for instance, the first time I heard Yellow. I didn't even stop to think "what the heck does 'and it was all yellow' mean?" It's like, "oh yeah, yellow! I know exactly what that means!", even tho it makes no sense. You just feel it. Hmm, maybe now I'm not making any sense to you... :confused:

I actually thought it was funny. Now, I love Yellow, and I don't think it needs to make sense. I think it's like a coloring book where you can make anything you want yellow. I think it's just a variable for what ever the listener wants it to be/Chris wants it to be. I think the song makes perfect sense, but that's under my interpretation. Someone else's idea of what the song's about might make no sense at all.

 

I don't find it offensive. It's just someone's opinion, you gotta respect that.

 

 

 

Dave

in my opinion this guy is obviously retarded. a song must be abstract, otherwise no one except the writer can identify with the lyrics, which would be very sad.

but honestly; in the case of yellow i agree a little little bit. What yellow in this song means is hard to understand for me... the lyrics should give a little advice, what is meant. sth like a held for interpretation.

 

but of course all in all this guy is totally mad.

Weird :huh:

:lol:

 

wow this person really had nothing to do! but it's actually quite funny what he came up with.

 

but i still love the song yellow and the lyrics... it's poetry.

LoL honestly i have to agree with him on some of his analyzation of the lyrics; if you take it literally, the lyrics of "yellow" doesn't come across full.

 

i don't think the writer of the article is full out against him. this comedic nit-picking was simply for fun. :)

 

*edit*

oh boy it's my 100th post! :dance::dance:

Reading this article made me laugh.. haha:laugh3: Chris Martin is a serial killer.. tun tun tun :stunned:

THis HAS to be tongue-in-cheek!!! I laughed my ass off. It's the kind of fake song analisys my musician friends do all the time.

 

I've always taken the line 'your skin and bones turn into something beautiful' to mean that in the right light, they become something more than the sum of their parts.

 

I'm pretty sure that if Chris sees this, he'll probably laugh his ass of too...or cry his eyes out...but I'm betting on the first one.

we all know that lyrics aren't the strongest part of Coldplay

 

Well, they have certainly improved from Parachutes. I thought the lyrics in X&Y were phenomenal compared to their v early stuff, which wasn't all that bad either.;)

And I always that it was "You're skin and bones... turned into something beautiful". Sort of like an ugly duckling thing. People who are emaciated or too thin are always referred to as 'skin and bones'.

lol... this guy has nothing to do

Im telling you guys these critics are all jealous saps who wish they could be half as cool as Coldplay. Parachutes is a great album and Yellow is their trademark song. This is one sap complaining out of millions of fans.

the guy is really funny!

maybe he is just saying these things delebrately to make some fun out it

and that is why we don't have to take it seriously

haha

The guy is obviously a wanker. The bit about stars not being able to shine for someone was just ridiculous. Hello...lyrics aren't always meant to be taken literally. It's romantic. Geez if you're going to go down that path go ahead and pick apart a song like 'Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds.' Hahaha.

 

Anyways he did make some funny comments, but he's still a wanker :laugh3:

Do Not Take This Post Seriously...lol.

 

"The Scientist'...a clinical analisys...

 

Really, when one thinkg about it, it''s not reasonable to say ''Let's go back to the start'. after all, time travel has obviously not been invented yet.

 

'Running in circles, chasing our tailss' Hello, Chrissey, have you not been following evolutin? Humans have not had tails since we crawled out of the ocean. And you call yourself a scientist???

 

'Questions of science, science and progress, do not speak as loud as my heart...' Everyone knows the human heart, or that of any living thing for that matter, has no vacal chords, and therefore, cannot 'speak'. Someone needs to re-take their grade 10 anatomy class, apparently.

 

And really, when you consider the literal meaning of things, , how can 'running in circles' possibly lead to 'coming up tails'? One is a physical action, the other a coin-toss. This is a complete non-sequetor...consistancy, Chrissey, consistancy!!!

 

For anyone who's getting really pissed off, this IS probably my favorite Coldplay song and I mean it no harm. My point is, if this made you laugh, great! It's totally tounge-in-cheek. Lyrics should never be taken literally. If the guy was serious, he DOES need a life, but I really doubt he was!

Well, I hope that Mr. Wee was trying to be funny, because otherwise he's a complete horse's ass. I wish I lived in one of those places where Coldplay is overplayed, because where I live, I never get to hear them on the radio......... Trust me, there are alot worse songs to hear all the time than Yellow! :(

Looks like Mr Martin was right. Parachutes must have been a shit album then :dozey:

Well' date=' I hope that Mr. Wee was trying to be funny, because otherwise he's a complete horse's ass.

I live in a place where Coldplay IS overplayed, and I don't mind a bit. You're right. There are alot worse things to listen to. If our rock station's overplaying Coldplay, at least they're not overplaying some of the other Sheit! Lol.

OMG! That article's so funny!

 

Is it writer's ignorance? Hatred? Stupidity?

Now, I won't be judgemental but it's not fair to judge something you don't like / don't understand...

 

Hmm...did he hear the song "Things I Don't Understand", I wonder :rolleyes: ...

haha I kind of enjoyed the dude's analysis. It made me laugh.

ohhh, well I live in a place where Coldplay IS overplayed. And it sucks. They are getting turned into this pop band where all the preppy girls are like "hahaha lol omg i looovvvvve coldplay" and then the next song on their iPod is like Green Day. I don't know, I guess I just liked it when Coldplay was still that hidden hippie-type band that no one knew about. I mean all people are allowed to like Coldplay, and other bands for that matter, but I hate when people with no knowledge of music, or music style, love Coldplay because they have heard three songs by them (probably yellow, the scientist, and clocks, or maybe Fix you). And only listen to pop and rap and r&b. And only have the album X&Y, which doesn't compare to A Rush of Blood to the Head, or Parachutes. That's just my opinion.

only true coldplay fans can understand coldplay's poetic lyrics...

abviously that stupid writer doesnt know anything about poet..and he calls himself a writer..even an accountant like i am cn understand all those stuff chris is singing...its one of the most romantic lyrics ever...

 

chris know what he's writing and singing about...i think chris martin is the most genius man in writing lyrics...

he's better than those lyrics about gobsessing girls..and stupid lyrics that tells a story of high school memory or something..see what i mean???

I actually thought that was hilarious :laugh4:

 

Mr. Wee is obviously taking the lyrics too literally.

If he could only appreciate them for what they are and the mystery they evoke...
