the hitcher Posted June 15, 2008 Share Posted June 15, 2008 has anyone else noticed either an editing mistake or a mistake by chris on strawberry swing? at 2:19 he goes to say a word beginning with s but it cuts to him saying curve. it just sounds odd the more i hear it :laugh3: great song tho, one of my favourites.

the hitcher Posted June 15, 2008 Author Share Posted June 15, 2008 lol, yeah, i caught that too, and its my fav song too! it's a great song. at first i thought it was alright but it's one of those songs the more you hear it the better it gets. glad to see it was on the setlist at the wembley gig for their friends and family. I hope they keep it in the set when they hit the road Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ApproximatelyInfinite Posted June 16, 2008 Share Posted June 16, 2008 i always thought that he was saying the word "JUST," as in "don't you wanna/ just curve away." personally, i like it better that way, but that's just me :D i listened to this song on high volume to try and catch this (when i did, i realized i noticed it before but thought it was the "just" thing...yadda ya), and when i did, i noticed for the first time that there's some indechipherable chatter in the biginning even after the music starts! how did i miss that before?

guyy Posted June 16, 2008 Share Posted June 16, 2008 Didn't notice that...of course, I didn't even notice that the intro of the Life in Technicolor is the same as The Escapist until someone pointed it out. :P He makes a similar mistake in Spies (from Parachutes)...sometimes after saying "They're all spies," he forgets he already said the second 'S' and says it again, so it comes out like "They're all spies s." :laugh3: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnnymax865 Posted June 16, 2008 Share Posted June 16, 2008 I noticed that too!! :P and at first I wondered what "scurve" could mean...:thinking: but I agree it could be 'just' that is actually pronounced only like '..st' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aleluvscp Posted June 16, 2008 Share Posted June 16, 2008 I don't think he made a mistake ...it sounds like he says "don't you wanna just come away" of course the "just" is said pretty quickly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coldplaykb Posted June 16, 2008 Share Posted June 16, 2008 I agree too. I dont think it is a mistake because i was listining to their Brixton Academy live concert on Radio 1 and they played strawberry swing and Chris said just. I could be wrong but that is what i think. He could be just saying it fast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mig-El Posted July 7, 2008 Share Posted July 7, 2008 yes, the actual lyrics say "Just curve away" but he barely says just so that it rhymes with the previous verses or he just liked it that way cause he can easily say just completely and extend the line Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tnspieler1012 Posted July 7, 2008 Share Posted July 7, 2008 I always heard it as "just curve away" the first two words being said very close together, I'm not yet convinced it's a mistake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pseudonym Posted August 15, 2008 Share Posted August 15, 2008 I dont think it was a mistake. Just a classic Chris weird singing trick. Like how someone thought it was a mistake in Violet Hill when he sings "Priests clutched onto Bibles" but "Priests" comes in a second to early. He did that on purpose, to put emphasis on the word.

be my green eyes Posted August 29, 2008 Share Posted August 29, 2008 "dont you wanna just curve away" Coldplay + Eno + Dravs making a mistake...I think not lol ;):) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WilsonC Posted September 1, 2008 Share Posted September 1, 2008 The talking before the song is meant to set the mood, I think. Until now, I have never considered it a "mistake". I think Chris tells Jonny or whoever is clapping by themselves at the beginning, "That's a bit faster" or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WilsonC Posted September 1, 2008 Share Posted September 1, 2008 A note to people that report mistakes: listen to the song carefully and consider the wording and Chris Martin's geeky/cool singing tricks before saying, "That's a Mistake". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
c0ldplay420 Posted September 3, 2008 Share Posted September 3, 2008 I think its less of a mistake and more of an innovation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
century-letters Posted July 15, 2009 Share Posted July 15, 2009 I also always thought it was 'just'. I will keep thinking that. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
