Coldplayer11 Posted June 7, 2008 Share Posted June 7, 2008 i can't get over the feeling that this song sounds like it could come out in a pirate movie like Pirates Of the Caribbean,.. anyone else agree? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColdplayBirdsFly Posted June 9, 2008 Share Posted June 9, 2008 Cemeteries of London!!!! Wow, that's exactly what i thought upon first listen. Definitely hearing some closeness to Pirates music in there. I think it must be the 3/4 timing. It gives it a faster, beatier feel. (Absolutely LOVE that Coldplay have finally used 3/4 timing!)

Bonus_mosher Posted June 9, 2008 Share Posted June 9, 2008 Best coldplay song since AROBTTH. tops everything on X&Y - only just mind! but I love it. I think numerous reviews have said it's a ghost story. so you might be along the right lines! :nice: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hotplay007 Posted June 9, 2008 Share Posted June 9, 2008 I guess i know what your talking about. At first, I thought of fog and zombies at midnight but imo. this song sounds western. like Cowboys and Indians. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
themightyspitz Posted June 11, 2008 Share Posted June 11, 2008 It actually makes me think more of that ESPN commercial for Portugal - Euro Cup 08. Fancy footwork & all. Definitely hear the "Spanish influences" talked about in this song. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

djibou Posted June 23, 2008 Share Posted June 23, 2008 Yeah! That's what I also thought :D Some Wild West scenario, with a lonesome rider ;) Haha totally :) With the ghost and mystery part, it'd be perfect for a lonesome cowboy entering a city haunted by Indians spirit and all :P It's amazing to see how Coldplay can develop our imagination just by their music.

Pseudonym Posted June 23, 2008 Share Posted June 23, 2008 Didn't Chris say in an interview that is was about Witch hangings and how scary it was that people were just getting hanged out of fear? I really seem to remember that, so I picture Witches in London especially during these lines: At night they would go walking ‘Til the breaking of the day, So we rode down to the river Where Victorian ghosts pray For their curses to be broken We go underneath the arches Where the witches are and they say There are ghost towns in the ocean Kind of scary when you really think about it...:stunned: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stingfan Posted June 26, 2008 Share Posted June 26, 2008 I would agree with the Western sound. There is a PS2 game called Darkwatch that this song immediately put in my mind. The game is a 1st person shooter where you are a gunfighter/newly made vampire in a Gothic Western scenario . The gunslinger has to battle his way through graveyards and ghost-towns, fighting skeletons, undead riders, banshees, etc. The game is perhaps too violent for some, but my son and I used to enjoy it. After listening to "Cemeteries" we immediately dusted it off and played it for a few hours. On a side note, you don't know how special it is for me to be able to bond with my 14-year-old son over things like the music of Coldplay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elyria Posted June 27, 2008 Share Posted June 27, 2008 Does anyone else here feel the flamenco kind of flavor to this...or is it just me? It's in 3/4 time...hm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daylight Shadows Posted September 12, 2008 Share Posted September 12, 2008 I don't believe that this song has much in common with flamenco... yeah, there are claps and a faster rhythm, but Cemeteries of London is a lot better than any other kind of flamenco. I love this mysterious feeling that remains in this song, it's like a night anthem... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
