shipoffools Posted June 17, 2008 Share Posted June 17, 2008 So I'm sitting here and listening to the new album, and I have to say that The Escapist just blew me away. I had downloaded the leaked version, but for some reason, this song never hit me properly until I had the actual album in my ipod. Chris's vocals are just amazing on this track. It's a great finish to a great album. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vitamin Z Posted June 18, 2008 Share Posted June 18, 2008 Me :) It's awesome, short and sweet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Death Hill Posted June 19, 2008 Share Posted June 19, 2008 It's probably my least favorite tied with "Reign of Love". Maybe it'll grow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tinafer Posted June 19, 2008 Share Posted June 19, 2008 Totally agree :) it finished the album off nicely and has become one of my favs :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattypclaret Posted June 22, 2008 Share Posted June 22, 2008 beautiful. such a gorgeous song i hope they stick it on a b-side, but separatley so its not actually attached to DAAHF. then i can listen to it all on its own :D :D :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ctrap1226 Posted June 22, 2008 Share Posted June 22, 2008 i think it tops off the album perfectly, but as far as its own song i wouldnt think so much of it...they did well by sticking it onto DAAHF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pseudonym Posted June 22, 2008 Share Posted June 22, 2008 I think it's great, and I may be the only one who relates to it as well:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bonus_mosher Posted June 22, 2008 Share Posted June 22, 2008 this is ludicrous, it's like saying the synth intro of violet hill is the best part of the album. that's all it is. it's not even a composed piece by coldplay. it's a john hopkins piece.

devzors Posted June 26, 2008 Share Posted June 26, 2008 I couldn't place it above or below any other songs on the album, but being that I enjoy every song, then yes it is one of the best. The cello part is difficult to hear unless you are attentive and not distracted by anything, but once I heard it, my life was changed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
devzors Posted June 26, 2008 Share Posted June 26, 2008 BTW 2732, I like the cynical definition of America. The sad thing is that I agree hahaha! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
procrastinator Posted June 29, 2008 Share Posted June 29, 2008 I love it. I love both Life in Technicolor and this. Death And All His Friends/The Escapist makes for one of Coldplay's most epic moments, ever. Period. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the hitcher Posted June 29, 2008 Share Posted June 29, 2008 I don't really think you can call it a song. it's just an outro really with two lines of words. nice way to finish the album Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

englishrose Posted July 1, 2008 Share Posted July 1, 2008 Yeah, I think it's a pretty genius way to end the album--even though it's totally ripped off from Abbey Road and probably many other things :lol: I love it. The melody is beautiful, and the lyrics are amazing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RICK8 Posted July 4, 2008 Share Posted July 4, 2008 Yeah it sure is dude. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CdK Posted July 7, 2008 Share Posted July 7, 2008 It's awesome, it brings you back tot the real world after listening to VLVODEAHF. It's Brilliant, making the Intro en Outro with the same background tune, it makes the album end perfectly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

symustafa1996 Posted September 30, 2012 Share Posted September 30, 2012 It's not even written by Coldplay, it's by Jon Hopkins(try listening to Lights Through The Veins by him, beautiful song), plus one line repeated twice by Coldplay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
