guyy Posted June 14, 2008 Share Posted June 14, 2008 Rock "instrumentals" are usually not that great, and Coldplay's never even done one before... ...but wow, did they ever do it well! If not for 42, this would be my favorite on the album. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aimorris Posted June 18, 2008 Share Posted June 18, 2008 :35-:40 of the song sounds like it's skipping to me, hopefully that's how it's supposed to be and not my cd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

but a dream Posted June 21, 2008 Share Posted June 21, 2008 I really like this opening. Starting out very mellow, but then all the instruments kick in and the rest of the track becomes very upbeat. For me, it's a good song to start the album with. I can't stop playing it :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For me, it's a good song to start the album with. I can't stop playing it :D completely agree. i bought the album the day it was released here in australia and after i'd done my exam for the day, got home, put it into my computer, in went the earphones, then pressed play. this song is absolutely amazing. i cannot imagine it being anywhere else but the beginning of the album. it's melody is captivating and the vocals at the end is subtle and just right. a perfect start to the album :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
procrastinator Posted June 23, 2008 Share Posted June 23, 2008 Beautiful in its simplicity. Would've loved it if they'd developed it into a fully-fledged track with lyrics, but at least we get a return of the theme in "The Escapist". The perfect bookends.

Christa42 Posted July 3, 2008 Share Posted July 3, 2008 I posted this in another 42 thread but, does anyone think the will lengthen and add lyrics to 42 once the "official" tour starts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scribble127 Posted July 12, 2008 Share Posted July 12, 2008 LiT starts off slowly, but then simmers and boils into something so melodic and uplifting, climaxing with Chris' tribal call to arms. It feels like there is a song missing though... I don't think the introduction to CoL follows on very well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tnspieler1012 Posted July 12, 2008 Share Posted July 12, 2008 LIT is brilliant, but we should think of it as a prelude, the album REALLY starts at COL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robins32 Posted July 12, 2008 Share Posted July 12, 2008 this song would be better if coldplay actually wrote it and didn't take it from jon hopkins Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tnspieler1012 Posted July 12, 2008 Share Posted July 12, 2008 this song would be better if coldplay actually wrote it and didn't take it from jon hopkins But remember that "light through the veins" didn't have the hammer-dulcimer, the guitar, the bass or the drums. After the first 45 seconds or so..it's all coldplay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
