ShibbNani Posted July 2, 2003 Share Posted July 2, 2003 Does anyone else think that "Amsterdam" is underrated? A lot of people dismiss it for not being as strong as Politik, but I personally think that it's the best song on AROBTTH.[/url] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cold_kitty Posted July 2, 2003 Share Posted July 2, 2003 i think all people appreciate amsterdam but aren't very vocal about it. it's just a song that you know kicks ass so you don't need to say anything. lol. i love it personally. i think it would have made a fantastic single!

cold_kitty Posted July 4, 2003 Share Posted July 4, 2003 i like amsterdam because it starts off so slow and quiet and then the end is so rocked out. i love that sort of tempo in songs. best of both sides. rush of blood to the head is like that too.

coldengrey Posted July 5, 2003 Share Posted July 5, 2003 Amsterdam was the one song on AROBTTH that really struck me the very first time I listened the album. I just went "wow..." For a while I'd put it on repeat and sleep with it playing. When I saw Coldplay on June 2nd, I wasn't in good spirits and was prepared to sulk all night, but little by little they broke me down (I even sang along with Everything's Not Lost when 1. I don't really like that song, and 2. I usually find sing-alongs cheesy). Even though I started having a good time, I still didn't expect them to play Amsterdam at all, so when they started it I went a little mental. I bounced up and down, punched the air and cheered, and y'know, normally I'm pretty reserved, so that was quite a huge reaction coming from me. It's definitely on my "favourite songs... ever" list. I adore the line, "And I know I'm dead on the surface, but I am screamin' underneath." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jacob Posted July 5, 2003 Share Posted July 5, 2003 The first time I listened to A Rush of Blood To The Head all the way through, it was Amsterdam that stuck me as the best song on the album. It's about how sad people can get when they are heart-broken and what they would do to stop it. Yea, I think it's one of those great songs that everybody just knows is good. Like.... Stay (Faraway, So Close) by U2. If you were to say "That song is great!" the person you were talking to would just say "well duh!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShibbNani Posted July 6, 2003 Author Share Posted July 6, 2003 I read somewhere that it's called Amsterdam because of something that happened to Chris when he was in....Amsterdam. Besides that, who knows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jacob Posted July 7, 2003 Share Posted July 7, 2003 no problem! I might be wrong though. I read that on a web page that was reviewing A Rush Of Blood To The Head. Amsterdam is definately the gloomiest song they've composed so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
