Ok, I was listening to it earlier and everything about it is so blissful and timeless...I can see this sounding just as new as it is now 30 years from now, the melody and the everything about the instruments and how Chris does the vocals is the greatest. This very well could be Coldplay's "Across the Universe". Now all they need to do is RELEASE IT.

it is one of the most beautiful coldplay songs, or songs i've ever heard.

 

whenever i listen to it, i feel sooooooooo relaxed.

 

 

fan-freaking-tastic. :heart:!!

Its a very blissful song. I imagine their actually is a place called strawberry swing and that exactly where I want to be.

I really love that song :D

It is a corker :D

 

I think The Scientist will be the one though. :idea2:

I think it will be Clocks

Strawberry Swing>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Clocks, The Scientist

Clocks and In My Place will.

Unless it gets a proper release, it won't get the recognition it deserves.

 

I adore this song, it is my favourite on the album. I'm a teacher and my tutor group love to make fun of my music tastes (they're 13 years old, I'm 32 and they consider me ancient!). I put Strawberry Swing on one afternoon and they all started clapping along with it. Even after they found out it was Coldplay, they still carried on. The room was full of smiling faces, it is such a feelgood song!

There are others that will as well...

 

But, to answer your question.... YES!

this is rocketed into my top 5 coldplay songs upon first hearing it, and it hasn't left. i don't think it ever will. in my opinion, its one of the best things they've ever released.

 

however, i think that clocks will forever be the most timeless, most instantly recognizable, most signature coldplay song, at least in america.

Clocks and In My Place will.

agreed.

"viva la vida" might be their best-known track, but "clock" and "in my place" are timeless.

I think it depends if they ever release it as a single!!!...and since that isnt gonna happened i say no!

i loved it on my first listen, but now it's a bit boring. i would hope that THE coldplay song that stands the test of time would be POLITIK!!

Clocks is still, half a decade on, in an absolute world of its own musically.

 

It is NOT my favourite Coldplay song but it is definitely something that will never be touched.

 

And even though VLV is my favourite Coldplay album to date, none of it has the staying power that AROBTTH does.

 

Clocks, IMP and Trouble are Coldplay's first 2 LPs in summary form and will be the things still on people's playlists 20 years from now, probably along with The Scientist, Yellow and Fix You.

Oh - I think my topic title was misinterpreted. :(

 

And IF Coldplay gets in the league of the big big big names years from now, then even if it is just an album track and not one of their singles it can still become famous and covered often. One part of me thinks it's better off as sort of a 'hidden gem' in their catalog. I still think it's their best song to date.

i loved it on my first listen, but now it's a bit boring. i would hope that THE coldplay song that stands the test of time would be POLITIK!!

 

YA NOW THATS AN AMAZING SONG!!!!!!!

As it's not a single I wouldn't say so. About on par with gems like warning sign for me. Clocks and Yellow will be the most remembered down the line.

The first time I heard this song it reminded me of the old CP and it made me really happy!!

I love it soooo much!! I think that it will stand the test of time. I know I'll be listening to it in 10 yrs. :lol:

 

"ITS SUCH A PERFECT DAY!!"

no. lol thats all just no.

I guess to see which songs will stand the test of time, you have to look at songs that non-fans will easily recognise. And i think that will be the likes of Yellow, Fix You and The Scientist.

 

I dont think unless Strawberry Swing Becomes a single that it will be as loved as the likes of Yellow, 10 years down the line.

i think is LOVELY!! one of my favourites! everytime i listen to it... gosh it's such a perfect day! ;)

Yay, another excuse to say how much I love Strawberry Swing. This is quickly becoming my favourite Coldplay song ever. A whole album of this effortless, chilled-out bliss would be lovely.

i am liking this more and more each time I play it. Cant wait to hear it live!

I dont think it will, kinda impossible to beat Clocks or Yellow.
