I've been listening to a lot of lives and rare Coldplay songs lately, and I've really been nostalgic about some of them. Some even depress me so my question is, what live, rare, bsides, or regular everyday songs make you nostalgic or depressed?

 

 

I.E. How You See the World, High Speed (live), AROBTTH, Don't Panic (blue room), Only Superstition, Gravity, Warning Sign, We Never Change

Proof, Swallowed in the Sea, Fix You, See You Soon. Mainly Proof.

Lovers In Japan gives me that nostalgic feeling sometimes! That one reminds me of the pre-X&Y Coldplay. Songs Like Don't Panic and In My Place really transport feelings of the first time i heard those first 2 albums. So there you go.

 

Oh and Gravity live, I remember first listening to that in a French lesson when we were supposed to be practicing a listening exam through headphones, and I was blown away. Procrastinating in lessons while listening to Coldplay? You bet :P

twisted logic

i ran away

in my place

a rush of blood the head live

Shiver and Yellow always remind me of a certain girl.

 

Amsterdam always sends me into a fit of wishing I were still in Spain with my family one year.

 

Other bands' songs:

Thunder by Boys Like Girls

Adam's Song by Blink182

Moses makes me think back to when I first realised that I wanted a career in music and that I wanted to be in a band. I think that came from the promo video they did for Moses with the clips from the Live 2003 DVD - on stage and off stage, seeing what it's like for a band on a world tour, accompanied by a great song. That made so so so bad want to have a career in music and to travel the world and live the same sort of life that Coldplay were living in 2003 which was so beautifully captured on that DVD - watching that documentary makes me long for playing gigs in the pouring rain and rescuing kittens from dressing room ceilings.

 

Fix You makes me think of the time when someone close to me died during the X&Y era. The lyrics are very poignant.

 

Things I Don't Understand reminds me of going on walks by myself with my MP3 player and Coldplay ringing in my ears. I remember listening to this song for the first time, I was out walking, totally confused and messed up in my head, and hearing that song at that moment in time, when nothing made sense and I thought the world was against me, really hit home.

Swallowed in the Sea, Warning Sign, Trouble, Everything's Not Lost (live) and Fix You

"yellow" and "speed of sound "remind me of the end of the school year in 10th grade and into the summer of 2005. that's when i was getting into coldplay, and those were my absolute favorite songs at the time. "yellow" just made me think so much of how much i loved all my friends...agh, such an amazing time and year. i remember almost crying as i was listening to it, driving away from the end of the year pool party my grade always had, because it was the last time i'd see my friends for the summer. pathetic, huh.

 

i got the "talk" single by mail-order in october 2005, so "the world turned upside down" makes me think of early-morning chemistry class because i would always listen to it in the car on the way to school and had it stuck in my head by the time i got to chemistry.

 

in march 2006, i downloaded a bunch of rare tracks and b-sides, so songs like "harmless" and "ladder to the sun" make me think of that time, specifically that spring break.

 

i really could go on and on, so i'm going to stop now :P

see you soon-carefull where you stand-for you-easy to please-don't panic-such a rush-bigger stronger

-fix you-what if-we never change-gravity-proof-sparks-I ran away-the scientist-how you see the world

 

additional not coldplay but martin's voice

 

you love means everything, where's my boy

All of parachutes when it comes to nostalgia (and maybe clocks, green eyes and warning sign).

 

I don't really get depressed by many songs...I can only think of easy to please. It's beautiful and a bit melodramatic. It has somewhat of a fitter-happier feel in that it's stating hopes and longings in the midst of a tough disposition.

Brothers and Sisters for me......

Shiver

Warning sign and For you :cry: nostalgic feeling makes me want to cry ..

Yellow.

 

Whenever I hear that song I remember the first time I heard it in its entirety, driving along tree-lined country roads at night with the stars twinkling overhead. Magical.

Three songs make me quite nostalgic, mostly Warning Sign and Proof, but also White Shadows, reminds me of a couple of years ago when I went away to Lourdes, i basically had the whole of X&Y on repeat and White Shadows is what stands out :D

Yellow.

 

Whenever I hear that song I remember the first time I heard it in its entirety, driving along tree-lined country roads at night with the stars twinkling overhead. Magical.

 

Same with me...this is the first song I ever heard of them and it reminds me about when I first ever got into them...that and Don't Panic.

 

When I first heard Yellow and Chris' voice...that is what pulled me into their music. I loved the tone in his voice and their different sound compared to all that was playing at the time.

 

I also remember hearing it riding in the car and enjoying the melody and the mood.

Yellow.
