twistedleksi2008 Posted November 7, 2008 Share Posted November 7, 2008 AS posted recently, Rolling Stone mentioned this track as being a "song that broadens Coldplay's horizons". I personally don't think they'd mention a 50-second piano instrumental as something so large... But it doesn't matter - that piece of music is rather niiice :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tnspieler1012 Posted November 7, 2008 Share Posted November 7, 2008 Just because it's only 50 seconds doesnt mean it doesn't hugely broaden their horizons. It's a beautiful and unprecendented bit of piano composition on Chris's part. They've never written anything quite like this, and it's my favorite piece to play on my piano at the moment.

andrea25 Posted November 7, 2008 Share Posted November 7, 2008 maybe after the piano part, the song starts in a different way...like '42'. it's strange that 'postcards from far away' is not present on the glass previews (together with prospekt march)...maybe they're such a powerful songs that they don't wanna spoil them.

Famous Old Painter Posted November 8, 2008 Share Posted November 8, 2008 Though it's a very nice piece, I'll be very dissapointed if it's just a 50 second thing, seems like a waste of track. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A RUSH OF VIDA Posted November 8, 2008 Share Posted November 8, 2008 I WANT IT TO BE LONGERRRRRRRRRR WITH ACTUAL LYRICS!!!!!!!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tnspieler1012 Posted November 8, 2008 Share Posted November 8, 2008 Frankly I'd be annoyed if it did turn into a regular pop song or whatever. I think it's perfect just as it is, clearly the melody comes from the piano, not Chris. and it's beautiful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Absolutely Posted November 9, 2008 Share Posted November 9, 2008 I love it the way it is. I can't wait to sit down and learn to play it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Famous Old Painter Posted November 9, 2008 Share Posted November 9, 2008 I'm just thinking it's strange that Prospekts March and Poppy Fields have to share a track yet Postcards is only 50 seconds long and gets it's own track high up in the playlist. :confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tnspieler1012 Posted November 9, 2008 Share Posted November 9, 2008 Well, it'd be an awkward transition. yes into chinese sleep chant is smooth, as is lovers into reign of love. but you can't really stitch this on the back end of a pop song. and for absolutely... The end's are cut off, but it's easy to fill in the blanks by hearing recordings of Chris live. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnnymax865 Posted November 9, 2008 Share Posted November 9, 2008 from the live recordings it doesn't sound as it ends naturally but as if it's interrupted...I think it will go on still a bit in the studio version... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ksg_tarheelfan Posted November 10, 2008 Share Posted November 10, 2008 Yes . . . like Parachutes II: The song is so pretty, feels like if it was made any longer, it would ruin it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
