Coeurli Posted July 7, 2012 Share Posted July 7, 2012 One of Coldplay's best songs ever. The emotion in that song is unbelievable. :nod: The Live 2003 version is incredible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

erynf_1996 Posted July 22, 2012 Share Posted July 22, 2012 I have a question about the lyrics for this lovely song. So around 4:23, it sounds like the lyrics go "but it won't change a sin." I was checking out the updated lyrics page on coldplay.com (which is AWESOME!), but it looks like the word is actually things, not sin. I could swear that Chris says sin! Could anyone else put some input into this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
strikie Posted July 22, 2012 Share Posted July 22, 2012 I think he sings think listen to a live version: http://youtu.be/Vwf5iRBbilM?t=4m28s but yeah, I like sin better, so my ears will be hearing that :smiley: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TyGuy Posted July 22, 2012 Share Posted July 22, 2012 That's what I thought at first, and sin seems to fit better anyway. :L Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MosesTheMarshmallow Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 The lyrics are different in most live versions, add "Live 2003" to a google search to get what is in the live version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pink Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 I would love to hear Chris talk about the writing of Amsterdam. Seems to be about a pretty intense emotional experience and I'd love to know where such a moving song came from. Other than saying that it was called Amsterdam because that's where it was written, I haven't found any other information. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChiemPeters Posted August 9, 2012 Share Posted August 9, 2012 They played it live..... I'd give my leg to be there Hope they play it again in The Hague!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MasoKnight Posted August 9, 2012 Share Posted August 9, 2012 The harmonies are what really make the song for me. Such an interesting and lovely change of pace. Edit: Chris definitely sings "won't change a thing" on all the live versions I can think of (except the "first time live" version where the line isn't there at all). But I always thought it was "sin" on the album until I heard it live. Now it sounds like "thin'" to me, like someone who talks with an accent like Chris had in 2002 would say "thing."

Mollyxyloto Posted October 22, 2012 Share Posted October 22, 2012 Come here, oh, my star is fading I swerved out of control And if I, if I'd only waited I'd not be stuck here in this hole Come here, oh, my star is fading And I swerve out of control And I know if I only waited When will I get out of this hole And time is on your side, it's on your side now I'm pushing you down and all around Oh, it's no cause for concern So come here, oh, my star is fading I swerved just out of reach And I know I'm dead on the surface But I'm screaming underneath And time is on your side, it's on your side now I'm pushing you down and all around Oh, it's no cause for concern Stuck on the end of this ball and chain I'm on my way back down again Stood on the edge, tied to the noose Sick to the stomach Say what you mean But it won't change a thing I'm sick of our secrets Stood on the edge, tied to the noose Oh, you came along and you cut me loose Oh, you came along and you cut me loose Oh, you came along and you cut me loose Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
