Kettercat Posted July 19, 2003 Share Posted July 19, 2003 COLDPLAY have stopped performing the song Green Eyes live because it’s about a girl who frontman CHRIS MARTIN knew before GWYNETH PALTROW. He told 150 fans at their tiny gig at Sydney’s Opera House: “It’s not about the right person. It’s like an old pair of trousers, it doesn’t fit.” Green Eyes has been replaced by a track called Moses, which is about his Gwynnie, as Chris told fans in Denver last month. It includes the lyrics: “Like Moses has power over the sea/So you’ve got power over me. “You’re a refuge, somewhere I can go/You’re air that, air that I can breathe/’Cause you’re my golden opportunity.” © The Sun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
badlydrawngirl Posted July 19, 2003 Share Posted July 19, 2003 :stunned: But they play Yellow still, and that ain't about Gwyneth! :rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kettercat Posted July 19, 2003 Author Share Posted July 19, 2003 :lol: maybe they should ban all songs that are not about Gwyneth! :smug: Kidding. Kinda understand him though, the song just doesn't "speak to him" now, I'd much rather hear him song that you can feel it comes from the bottom of his heart :smug: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
badlydrawngirl Posted July 19, 2003 Share Posted July 19, 2003 yeah I guess, but Green Eyes is a lovely song. But then again I'm in love with Moses at the mo! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

amanda_coldplay5 Posted July 19, 2003 Share Posted July 19, 2003 too bad about it. i wanted to see it performed live. but i understand. and the performance of it wouldn't be filled with as much emotion as it usually would be so the performance wouldn't be as good.

Dissolved Girl Posted July 19, 2003 Share Posted July 19, 2003 but... A lot of other Coldplay songs are not about Gwynnie and they're still performed. I think its rather retarded. :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amanda_coldplay5 Posted July 19, 2003 Share Posted July 19, 2003 well all of those songs weren't written about a girl he might have been in love with. *shrug* i want that smilie back. it was so good. maybe this one can be used instead of it... :/ ah well.

Dissolved Girl Posted July 19, 2003 Share Posted July 19, 2003 Yeah... I miss the *shrug* smilie, too. :( And that *LOL* one is just freaking me out. I like the old one better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dania Posted July 19, 2003 Share Posted July 19, 2003 Its not just about the song its about chris's personal life effecting the music I always thought it wasn't any of our business who he goes out with but which songs are gonna get the chop if he breaks up with paltrow :angry: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mimixxx Posted July 19, 2003 Share Posted July 19, 2003 Oh jeez, why does everyone assume this is true and he meant it like that, he didn't said he doesn't sing it b/c it's not about Gwyneth, he says it's the 'wrong person', maybe he had a nasty break up with this person and no longer wishes to song about her. I mean if it were really true that he wouldn't sing about ex-loves wouldn't 'The Scientist' be struck off? AND don't credit the other guys with so little credit as to assume they would let Chris walk all over them, if they wanted 'Green Eyes' on the setlist, they'd out vote him and tell him so! :angry: :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kettercat Posted July 19, 2003 Author Share Posted July 19, 2003 They were probably sick of it anyway like they were with 'Shiver' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cold_kitty Posted July 19, 2003 Share Posted July 19, 2003 lol okay nobody will miss green eyes. that song was crap. maybe yellow wasn't about gwyenth, but it's way too big a hit to stop playing. it's a coldplay staple. people expect to hear it. i think this article is the cutest! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kettercat Posted July 19, 2003 Author Share Posted July 19, 2003 Aww 'Green Eyes' is actually one of my favourites! :embarrased: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mimixxx Posted July 19, 2003 Share Posted July 19, 2003 They haven't played it for AGES though, the last time was probably before Christmas, so it's not like it's a recent thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
u2forever89 Posted July 20, 2003 Share Posted July 20, 2003 Gwen must really make a difference to him....cuz he's doin all sorts of sacrifices with their band to make her happy.... :huh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mimixxx Posted July 20, 2003 Share Posted July 20, 2003 No he's not - the band is a democracy, he isn't their leader, if they don't wanna do something they won't :rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

badlydrawngirl Posted July 20, 2003 Share Posted July 20, 2003 No he's not - the band is a democracy' date=' he isn't their leader, if they don't wanna do something they won't :rolleyes:[/quote'] yeah, cos Chris didn't want Warning Sign on the album, but the other guys DID, so there you go! Democracy in action :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
noni Posted July 20, 2003 Share Posted July 20, 2003 I don't believe in everything these newspapers say... Chris only told about 'a wrong person' and these journalists speak about Gwynie and all that stuff, drawing conclusions about something they don't know... Aaaargh, damn press!!! :angry: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
