Death Hill Posted July 11, 2008 Share Posted July 11, 2008 This is my official favorite Coldplay song, in my opinion it's the perfect example of Chris's voice adapting to the song. And that explaination of the song Chris gave saying it's just about 'acting on impulse', I think there's more to the song and it's about something more specific. My life would officially be complete if I saw it live on this tour in concert. :guitarist: honey All the movements you're starting to make See me crumble and fall on my face And I know the mistakes that I made See it all disappear without a trace And they call as they beckon you on They said start as you mean to go on Start as you mean to go on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ugadawg5 Posted July 11, 2008 Share Posted July 11, 2008 One of their best songs by far and one of the most, if not the most overlooked song in their catalog. utterly dramatic and perfectly produced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starlight Posted July 11, 2008 Share Posted July 11, 2008 Such a dark, but absolutely beautiful song. It makes think about a guy who lets rage, anger, and hatred get to the best of him and makes him act unnaturally and do hurtful things, even if it does hurt the person he loves. And by the time he realizes it, it's too late and he can never see her again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RunForTheHills Posted July 11, 2008 Share Posted July 11, 2008 It's definitely one of my favourites - and I think that chorus contains some of Chris' best lyrics. Its also one of Guy's best moments I think. And Jonny's guitar is so atmospheric and perfect. Ahh, and its just sooo epic live. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ricardo Posted July 11, 2008 Share Posted July 11, 2008 yup it's a very good song... perhaps the best song live (yes even more than clocks, one i love,god put a smile ETC) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starlight Posted July 11, 2008 Share Posted July 11, 2008 Do you guys know if they are adding this song to the VLV Tour setlist? I hope so, I've never been to a live show, so I don't know if they have added this to setlists in the past. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
majgirl Posted July 11, 2008 Share Posted July 11, 2008 I would say 80% of the time I am convinced this is the best song they have ever written. The other 20% is split between a great many of their other songs. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
talkingonsquareone89 Posted July 11, 2008 Share Posted July 11, 2008 This song would fit pretty well into the setlist methinks (some of the newer songs also revolve around similar subject and ideas). Gah! Must not get hopes up, but....would this addition be great or what? :smug2: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emedy Posted August 18, 2008 Share Posted August 18, 2008 but what are lyrics about?he wanted to burn the house where his love used to suffer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emedy Posted August 19, 2008 Share Posted August 19, 2008 ok maybe my question is stupid, but can anyone answer me?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TraceOddity Posted August 19, 2008 Share Posted August 19, 2008 I've wondered for years what exactly Chris is refering to with this song. I wish I could give one of my trade-mark, in-depth answers here, but I'm as confused as everybody else. But yes, he does say that the place where his love suffered is going down, and seems to regret if after the fact. It's a personal fave live (since I've only heard it one in my 7 coldplay shows,lol.). We should ask the Oracle! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris's Nuts Posted August 22, 2008 Share Posted August 22, 2008 Actually it reminds me a lot of Forest Gump when Forest tears down Jennie's house after she dies due to bad memories she had of growing up with an abusive farther. In this case Cirus burns it down but the overall vibe appears the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tnspieler1012 Posted September 11, 2008 Share Posted September 11, 2008 ^ I see what the admin's mean about the spam.... anyway, the song is pretty straight forward IMO, it's supposed to be a bit of a coldplay goes jonny cash. I see it as a depiction of a troubled man whose attempting to resolve or erase the tangled web he'se woven with his wife/spouse/girlfriend (whatever...), by burning down a house or building of some significance.

CPRani Posted September 11, 2008 Share Posted September 11, 2008 I didn't like this song before, but there was this one time I listened to it, and just thought about the lyrics and stuff, and it just hit me that this is just an amazing song. Now I love it so much! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
