panicked Posted June 18, 2008 Share Posted June 18, 2008 Oh, this is my personal lullaby at the moment, and I'm not even close to being a person in love, heh. It's just this beautiful, rippling piece that is taking me by the hand while I'm going through what I'm going through. It's a very hopeful song.

Tnspieler1012 Posted June 18, 2008 Share Posted June 18, 2008 One of my personal faves on the albums. lyrics are weak sauce, but the arrangement with the keyboards and guitar are wonderful. A real toe-tapper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miss capa Posted June 18, 2008 Share Posted June 18, 2008 I love this song and I seriously can't imagine anyone hating it. Like Jhostle said, its a Coldplay baby. This song is classic Coldplay. The lyrics are still kinda lame except the last verse "How I wish, I'd spoken up. Or we'd be carried away by the reigh of love" beautiful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walewein Posted June 18, 2008 Share Posted June 18, 2008 Reign of Love is beautiful, emotional, honest. It's like a cuddle from Chris Martin in the middle of "all that noise and all that sound". I liked it and I like it more every day. I don't know what the lyrics mean exactly but I think this could have been written on the day Chris went to a funeral on a boat and he was so exhausted he fell asleep on the way back. I think the song is about loss. Anyone care to explain the lyrics line by line? I think they're rather complicated, not easy at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iPsy Posted June 19, 2008 Share Posted June 19, 2008 i think it is ace, while there is the big powerful songs like 42 and violet hill, there is this which reminds us how beautiful music can sound from Coldplay, reminds us of Fix You, it tugs at your heart and as I have heard from someone on this forum, it would be great at a wedding!

procrastinator Posted June 23, 2008 Share Posted June 23, 2008 I really like the whole thing as a track "Lovers In Japan/Reign of Love". Reign of Love could easily be misconstrued as overly simple, X&Y-style melodrama, but hey, who doesn't like a bit of melodrama every now and again? :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dapper-Dan-Man Posted June 25, 2008 Share Posted June 25, 2008 I absolutely adore this song! Why do so many dislike it? It's not supposed to be a soaring, epic song. Its beauty lies in its simplicity. Honestly, it almost moves me to tears... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Funky-Bubble-Brains Posted June 26, 2008 Share Posted June 26, 2008 Listening to Reign of Love without thinking too much about the lyrics it's deeply romantic. I automatically had images of the inside of steel drums shaped into balls reflecting light, butterflies in the air, springtime a overwhelming sense of new beginning and fresh starts. I wrote on the Facebook page that I felt it had a likeness to Plaisir d'amour in parts, I still think that. Having looked at the lyrics in more detail perhaps there's an element of penance involved with, "To the sea I offer This heavy load" and again repeated with, "My knees go praying". The use of Locusts stumped me at first initially placing them in the biblical sense, but that sharply contrasts with the beauty and purity of this song. Therefore I've now came to the conclusion that it's used in the context of, Plato's Phaedrus were Socrates says that Locusts were once human. Does anyone else agree, or have a different opinion? I love everything about this song, the music took over my mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pseudonym Posted June 26, 2008 Share Posted June 26, 2008 I love the song. It reminds me of their Parachutes work. Simple, yet powerful. It doesnt need all those sound effects and all that editing, just pure passion and heart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funky-Bubble-Brains Posted June 30, 2008 Share Posted June 30, 2008 Hey 2732, liked your comment, but sadly it did involve alot of editing, in fact it was the most edited song out of the album. I was just in youtube and listening to the band's insight into each song. They mentioned that they played on for about twenty odd minutes but it had to get chopped down. I'd do anything to hear that 20 odd minute piece... :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mountainloafers Posted July 1, 2008 Share Posted July 1, 2008 Eh Steve "id rather have more heavy material and be overwhelmed by an amazingly good song instead of having a bad one to get a break" :sleeping2::sleeping::snore:agreed.

Elyria Posted July 2, 2008 Share Posted July 2, 2008 Who? What?? Where? When??? Listen, just "listen" to "Reign of Love"...all your questions will be satisfied...I dare say. What a heavenly tune is this. :mellow: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeonWonderland83 Posted July 7, 2008 Share Posted July 7, 2008 I wish this song went on forever. These are my favorites types of songs...very simple, beautiful delicate melodies, & no big band sound. Don't get me wrong, I love Coldplay's full band big songs just as much as the next fan...but there's nothing better than a really stripped down little song like this to me. I love the combination of piano and those little chimes (or whatever they are). They sort of float along like a river of music. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Macintosh Posted April 29, 2009 Share Posted April 29, 2009 I don't understand people who hate this brilliant song. I think its amazing and integral part of VLVODAAHF. The best sample of old Coldplay, a certain similarity of Scientist, besides it allows to have a rest from crazy a rhythm of LIJ. I love this song and its incredible to listen it at night under starlight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
