i´m liking it!

 

if this didnt get into the album, it´s good news...i guess

 

i didnt find it similar to mothers of the disappeared, but i dont listen to u2 that much...

It is a short song, but they've had more short b-sides: Help Is Round the Corner, I Bloom Blaum, 1.36. All great songs and so is this I guess.

When I've listened to it some more, I probably like it more.

I think goofball cut it short. The end seemed way too abrupt.

 

i am positive about the radio guy cutting the song abruptly!!!

Wow what happened? Everyone already heard it??:confused:

Yah, they played the whole CD, actually. You missed it. Unfortunately nobody recorded it!

Wow, I'd crap myself if that happened. :laugh3:

A Spell.........a rebel yell, a Spell.......

 

You know, I'm just going to go out on a limb here and come out and say it.

 

I REALLY like what Coldplay is giving to us. Now, hear me out.

 

I was SOOO ready to be disappointed by Violet Hill. When I got the download from the site, of course, I was RETARDEDLY excited, and I couldn't wait to listen to it. But I was ready. In FACT, and I know this sounds terrible coming from a true, cross my heart and hope to die Coldplay fan, I was expecting to not like it. I really was.

 

But then Violet Hill started. And the sound started swelling up and it gave me goosebumps in spite of myself. And I loved the song after it was done. EXPECTING to not like it, I ended up loving it. The song was at a freaking disadvantage, and it still came out on top. I must have listened to it straight for an hour. STRAIGHT.

And I still love it.

 

The same thing, maybe even to a more intense degree happened today when I tuned in over the internet to have a listen to A Spell A Rebel Yell.

I love B-sides, in fact, I think, my second favorite song by Coldplay (after Fix You/Yellow (:))), is a B-side, 'Proof'.

But I was ready to not like it, and I was ready to say it categorically after I heard it, without beating around the bush.

But I love it. The lyrics work just....so well.....with the music. And Chris doesn't let words about loss and love and pain become anything emo, but makes them work in a way that matters more, more than any other way you can hear them.

 

And I think it's because Coldplay haven't changed, like we all think they are going to, because the album art is different, or because the mags say they have. They haven't. This is exactly what we would always wish to happen. They grow.

 

They are evolving and growing, rather than changing and emulating other big artists, like U2. I have heard a lot of U2, and they are indeed one of my top bands, but they have never, in my humble opinion, ever sounded as beautiful.

 

And, frankly, this growth is turning out to be everything I hoped for, from my favorite band.

 

Thanks Coldplay.

I double posted my above, but I have no idea how to delete it from the other thread.

Sorry!

What the hell? I found myself singing the lyrics to Mothers of the Disappeared during this song... yeah, it is that similar.

 

Hmm. I know it's different, but seriously, what's going on here? It's barely got any melody. Chris's vocals are lost beneath whatever that is.

I'm at work. Can't download it. Is it streaming anywhere or on youtube yet?

same here

I don't like this song.

Is johnny or guy playing in this track?I dont hear any guitar or bass.I like it though!

i just hope most of the other things on the album are simpler than ASRY and even VH...less synth etc, more just guitars, bass, drums, and even piano with chris's clear voice.

 

all the extra stuff in there makes me think that they're trying too hard.

I'm liking it a lot. I've liked all the albums and enjoy that they are consistently doing different things with their music.

i think ASARY is longer, may be 40 or 50 sec longer

it's pretty good. i'm not blown away but is IS only a b-side. however i'm a bit concerned about how both two songs are under 4 minutes (this one isnt even 3!)... im hoping this trend doesnt continue throughout the entire album :\

Just a B-Side... luckily. I hope we won't find that kind of Joshua Tree clones in Viva La Vida.

I totally agree. we all love the long sing-a-long, especially when we see them live ( MSG, NY Baby!!!) can't wait:D

i actually really like this song! possibly more than vh

Will does some really cool drumming in this one.

ditto. :\ But it's not bad, I like it ... but I'm not sure. The same thing happened with VH.

Not a fan, but as people have said, only a B Side, and I'm in love with Violet Hill, so still a happy CP fan!

Thoughts: a simple song, not meant to compete for best song of all time, just be what it is, hence the simple repeated 80s-esque whirling background riff. I think there is enough clear similarity to u2's mothers of the dissapeared to cite it as an inspiration. and while being a little more upbeat, it does end just as quickly. the song doesn't seem to try to catch your attention, you merely notice it as it passes by. I love the joshua tree vibes the song gives and I hope it isn't straying much from the album.

Good song...

 

probably didn't jive with VLVODAAHFs....

 

so all in all a good bslide.

I need to listen to a higher quality version...sounds like a pipe organ to me? maybe not. But its awesome if it is.
