letdown Posted July 23, 2008 Share Posted July 23, 2008 is it just me or is this the greatest fucking song coldplay ever came up with. i was a bit disheartened when chris called parachutes rubbish because it's one of my favourite albums but after all he obviously knows his shit what with politik also being on his top 3. the last bit of politik (around 3:00 mark and onwards) is better than all of viva la vida + x & y combined.

MrsSeverusSnape Posted July 23, 2008 Share Posted July 23, 2008 The final "but give me love over this" gives me goosebumps, but Yellow is the best E V E R Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CPRani Posted July 24, 2008 Share Posted July 24, 2008 I didn't actually like this song, before, but now listening to it, it gives me goosebumps. It's such a powerful and amazing song. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RoySaar Posted July 24, 2008 Share Posted July 24, 2008 No Way! Politic is good, but there are a lot better than it! I'll give you some examples: - Don't Panic - Spies - Parachutes - Careful Where You Stand - Warning Sign - A Rush Of Blood To The Head - Square One - Low - Yes! - Straberry Swing - Viva La VIda - Death And All His Friends - 2000 Miles - A Ghost - Moses - Brothers And Sisters - Easy To Please - Only Superstition - Bigger Stronger - Such A Rush - Animals - Crests Of Waves - Murder - Poor Me - Ode To Deodorant - I Ran Away I hope I made my point :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Death Hill Posted July 25, 2008 Share Posted July 25, 2008 amazing live, thats for sure. Agreed. It has the best opening in a Coldplay song for sure. And Chris makes it so big and dramatic live. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A RUSH OF VIDA Posted July 25, 2008 Share Posted July 25, 2008 . the last bit of politik (around 3:00 mark and onwards) is better than all of viva la vida + x & y combined. i agree on that i get chills when i hear that...it fucken amazing :D and also ya yellow is a good song but theres so many songs that are better for example POLITIK!!!!!!! but there is also songs better than politik but yellow isnt one of them.......a lot of songs beat yellow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tennis08tarheels Posted July 25, 2008 Share Posted July 25, 2008 Politik is amazing, that's all I have to say. Definitely one of my favorite 5 Coldplay songs, along with the likes of Fix You, The Scientist, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cobalt Posted July 25, 2008 Share Posted July 25, 2008 They should bloody well play it more if they want an epic show. Stop neglecting it! :angry: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
illmatic630 Posted July 26, 2008 Share Posted July 26, 2008 politik is one of my favs. and when they played it here in chicago, which i was lucky enought to capture on camera i went crazy. a complete mindblowing song. but honestly I rate Spies higher than politik. but politik is easily one of my top 5 songs.

procrastinator Posted July 26, 2008 Share Posted July 26, 2008 I remember the first time I heard Politik: I was in my bedroom, aged about 13...I played "A Rush Of Blood To The Head" for the first time. I think I almost cried - I felt like a bit of a wimp, but the music was just f*cking amazing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malcolm-Edge Posted July 27, 2008 Share Posted July 27, 2008 Politik is THE best simple as that. Listen to any live version, and it blows you away. Only one song has come close for me and that Death And All His Friends and Fix You. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A RUSH OF VIDA Posted July 27, 2008 Share Posted July 27, 2008 ^^ ya live it sounds even more amazing.......when u see chris its like the music is going right through him....he amazing.....(if u know what i mean ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tonsu Posted July 27, 2008 Share Posted July 27, 2008 One of their best for me for sure, but then there are so many others are fighting right there at the top of the list for room to be heard (and not just from Coldplay, it's one of the most impressive songs I've ever encountered)!! I think it gives me the most goosebumps of all their tracks when they play it live, closely followed by Warning Sign, the cry in Lovers in Japan, and the opening of Don't Panic. To not play it live is really something :( (though if the band have fallen out of love with it for some reason I understand, but still not entirely thrilled...)

rafa89 Posted July 27, 2008 Share Posted July 27, 2008 amazing live, thats for sure. Agreed too.This song when played live,has such a powerful effect over the audience.It's by far one of their top 5 songs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mountainloafers Posted July 27, 2008 Share Posted July 27, 2008 Politik DOES rock live... I dont know that its one of their best songs to me but its good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ItsRobin Posted July 27, 2008 Share Posted July 27, 2008 Politik is definetely one of the best CP songs, especially live. The 2003 version is the best live performance of any coldplay songn so far IMO. Goosebumps everytime I see/hear it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
majgirl Posted July 28, 2008 Share Posted July 28, 2008 It definitely battles for the number one spot for me, with the title track of the same album always close behind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BostonSportsTD Posted July 28, 2008 Share Posted July 28, 2008 i'm a bigggg politik fan. i don't think it's my favorite though... but definately like #4... which is a big deal... but i think it's maybe the best live. i'm REALLY hoping they play this one in hartford/boston!

nathey42 Posted July 28, 2008 Share Posted July 28, 2008 Politik is definetely one of the best CP songs, especially live. The 2003 version is the best live performance of any coldplay songn so far IMO. Goosebumps everytime I see/hear it. I would have to say that I prefer the Hollywood Bowl version (of Politik) that went out on a bootleg, this was also on the 2003 tour. Check it out!
