COLDPLAY HAVE LOST THEIR SPIRITUAL SIDE?

[Tarkovsky2]

So, I was in concert in Budapest, and after 1h and 30 min I was let's say sad.It was spectacle and nobody can deny it, but it the end you realize what coldplay becomes in front of your eyes.I listen to them from parachutes, and I love that coldplay sense of warmness, of warm philosophy let's say, beacuse you have plenty of ideals in Martin's lirycs, and plenty of wandering, but now it's all only spectacle, the louder the better.In dvd live 2003( which is my favourite film materials and I' m studying film directing) you see that they don't want to be boring, and for me they aren't , that gloom, darkness was beautiful to me, and now it's all bright everything is visible, everything is clear.They are not boring any more but they lost their spiritual side.

It's called Big Band Syndrome.

I can't help but compare the Live 2003 dvd performance to their new ones and yea.. I do miss that kind of melancholic feeling about their shows.

 

Oh well :\

They wanted to be more colourful and vibrant, you know cus everyone says they are dull. I too miss those kind of concerts, the Live 2003 is the best DVD ever, and the directing in that is top notch in my opinion! I miss it a bit too!! Chris was more quiet then:P

8Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things. Philippians 4:8

 

I know what you mean, they had this sweet sadness and intimacy to their older stuff that I really loved. But the world is so dark right now, and their new stuff is so full of light and life, it's like the perfect antedote to all the darkness. I don't see how celebrating life can count as loosing your spiritual side.

 

I don't know about anyone else, but hearing lines in happy songs like "I have no doubt, one day the sun will come out" and "it's such a perfect day", and in a display so full of colour and joy, I think it's wonderful. :nice: Wish I could see it live.

^You hit the nail right in the coffin.

 

 

I think thats how the expression goes:thinking:

[roche714]

Thats what happens when success comes.They cant play those little intimate shows anymore.

 

Success changes people no matter what they say.It cant be helped...

hahha^

[Tarkovsky2]

It's not about light and dark, in dvd 2003 they start with darkness and end in most beautifull light - clocks, life is for living.Offcours it's much easier to love viva la vida then daylight, but you will get more sincere emotions back then then now, cause world isn't just colourfull or dark, it's all mixed up, and doesn't everything have to be that big(jerusalem, bells, king), that's holywood film, you know, the bigger the better, because truth is in simplicity, like at the start - I saw sunrise I saw sunlight, or it was all yellow...

[Aleluvscp]

That's true

[Open-Politik]

^I totally get what you mean, but there isnt anything we can do.

[Tarkovsky2]

Yes, thank you all for reading this,

[Open-Politik]

Now go watch the Lost! video NOW!!!!!

Sadly I agree. I was just now watching an old performance of talk and the same thing hit me. With all the these costumes and such, its lost its personal touch. Sad.

[airieslady]

Well, maybe when they get out of the clutches of big music company, they can do whatever they want. I think they are still being led by other people. Would like to see what they could do on their own. It's good to play the old stuff with the new... not too much what they are doing these days sadly. Would be a much more interesting concert. After last tour, I could know what each move was going to be in what order of songs... that's pretty bad! OK, so not everyone can go to more than one show, but how versatile is this band? Can they not handle a large list of songs to choose from and change up a few each show? You can still have a big flashy production with some band choice picks here and there....the new stuff is nice, but the old stuff needs to be there too! OK, I' finished! :)

[bellynelly]

I carn't help but compare the albums, and I miss the rawness of 'parachutes', the songs are not as meaningful to me anymore with this new lot.

[Tarkovsky2]

Bravo , bravo, we totally agree, look I know even when chris is gonna smile, after violet hill, and when johny is gonna lift him up, or ....
