Famous Old Painter Posted November 20, 2008 Share Posted November 20, 2008 Strangely there isn't a thread on this here yet. Love it, definately better than the album version! Wish they'd used it instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YellowBellyScientist Posted November 20, 2008 Share Posted November 20, 2008 It was said in an interview that, they did not use this version on the album because when the band showed it to someone, he said that it was no doubt, single material, so the band said well that isn't what we want from this song on the album and the decided to release this version at a later time. Which is now! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Outrune Posted November 20, 2008 Share Posted November 20, 2008 personally i think LIT2 is a MASTERPIECE I'm absolutely giddy and can't stop listening to it! Interesting how the Hopkins sample (Escapist) is completely absent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marisa Posted November 20, 2008 Share Posted November 20, 2008 They really got it right. LIKE BULL's EYE. I can hear Will telling Chris..... " no no let's wait to put it on the EP. The fans won't know what hit them!" And Chris is bouncing around the room pleading " ahhh come on!!!!!" When played live, LIT1 is epic. now with the lyrics, I'm sure it would become my favorite live track ever.....and that's crazy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tennis08tarheels Posted November 20, 2008 Share Posted November 20, 2008 I am fully convinced that this is the best song ever written or recorded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craigweb Posted November 20, 2008 Share Posted November 20, 2008 Gotta play Devil's Advocate I'm afraid. LITii would have been better with the airy Eno esque embience at the start ala LIT. Plus, Chris Martins lyrics for the most part are just words that rhyme, so I appreciated LIT cos' musically it was genius. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RadioMad Posted November 20, 2008 Share Posted November 20, 2008 They should consider releasing it as a single after all. It could be just as big as Viva La Vida was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Escapist Posted November 20, 2008 Share Posted November 20, 2008 THis song is awesome. It is also unique, not better than the first version but still epic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gib786 Posted November 21, 2008 Share Posted November 21, 2008 If I had to use one word to describe it, it would be fantasmical. Really hope they play this at the uk gigs cos its one AWESOME song Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Hyperfried Posted November 21, 2008 Share Posted November 21, 2008 Absolutely marvelous recording... Really loving the energy, and, well, everything about it. The only thing I wish is that it had begun similar to LiT 1 with the Light Through the Veins sample, then transitioned into the beginning of LiT 2 that LiT 1 shares, and then come in with the lyrics. Maybe an extra 30 seconds of intro, to me, would've made this perfect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lyric Posted November 21, 2008 Share Posted November 21, 2008 My opinion could change in the future once everything sinks in, but as of now, I find it to be beautiful and amazing and breathtaking. :] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kj91 Posted November 21, 2008 Share Posted November 21, 2008 I just love it. This has got to be my favorite Coldplay song as of now. It has everything :D Offtopic; I woke up with LiT II. It was being played on 3FM ( Dutch radio station ) around 8.50 am local time :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blue jammer Posted November 21, 2008 Share Posted November 21, 2008 Decent track, I do think the vocals though would have been better suited to another piece of music. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vivek Posted November 21, 2008 Share Posted November 21, 2008 I fucking love the last 3 lines, before the song ends, a perfect ending to the song. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darkedge Posted November 21, 2008 Share Posted November 21, 2008 Are you guys serious? this new one is horrible compared to the original, it's so much more powerful as an instrumental. and the lyrics are blah. plus, seriously, there can only be so many versions of this song. LiT, The Escapist, LiT II, and the chorus reprise in Now My Feet Won't Touch the Ground. Oh, and I suppose one could sort of count "Light Through the Veins" as well. god.
