girl_in_the_band_tshirt Posted November 25, 2008 Share Posted November 25, 2008 i'm probably way off mark, but, as poppies suggest rememberence for those who have passed (particularly soldiers) might there be some significance to it? its the first thing i thought of anyway.. 'i don't want to die on my own tonight/but here i lie on my own in a seperate sky' and then it drops off.. and then comes poppyfields... or maybe not :shy: :P M.

Recycled Revenge Posted November 26, 2008 Share Posted November 26, 2008 I totally agree this song demanded a lot more time to make it something more than what it is, it just feels like a wasted opportunity. Still, it's the highlight of the EP for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StephenG Posted November 28, 2008 Share Posted November 28, 2008 It resolves beautifully, with rising guitars and chris giving us his most clean vocal yet and he tears out his soul (or something) Where really could this go? a guitar solo? I think not. Perfect song as it is. Far better than the next best thing Everybody hurts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A Rush Of Technicolor Posted November 29, 2008 Share Posted November 29, 2008 If the song was longer and had more to it it could of been one of the best songs from their Prospekt sessions. As it is, it is hauntingly beautiful and there is something slightly epic about it. When the end comes, however, it feels as if it is just getting off the ground. It should of been 5 min in the vein of A Rush of Blood to the Head or Amsterdam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
majgirl Posted December 3, 2008 Share Posted December 3, 2008 Its beautiful, and I agree it should have been much longer. If they really want to make shorter albums or EP's in this case I would rather they give us less songs that had a longer running time. A short song here and there has its place, but these self imposed time constraints are starting to interfere with the overall quality of the songs when they seem to feel that EVERY song must be that way. It sounds unfinished. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ez2plz Posted December 4, 2008 Share Posted December 4, 2008 This is equivalent to easy to please, or see you soon. Not a full fledged radio ready song. But a masterwork nonetheless. I say any CP fan since parachutes that doesn't really like this song, is just plain spoiled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magnus Posted December 4, 2008 Share Posted December 4, 2008 Yes, I have a feeling that this song is also unfinished, just like Postcards... Even in this version they both are the highlights of the album for me (along with LIT 2), but they would've been perfect if finished. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gotcheese2768 Posted December 10, 2008 Share Posted December 10, 2008 this songs is amazing i love it just the way it is... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carkids Posted December 11, 2008 Share Posted December 11, 2008 the fact though is that chris really put his feelings in his songs and that's what makes perfect songs as well (: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yes? Posted December 13, 2008 Share Posted December 13, 2008 Without doubt my favourite from PM (LIT ii a close second). I love it the way it is tbh, but hey thats my opinion...:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doritji Posted December 14, 2008 Share Posted December 14, 2008 when i first read this thread, i hadn't heard the song before ( because i waited 'till it was released ) and i was thinking : what are they complaining about ? every song has got to end sometime. but after i heard it, i felt just the same way. i always feel like shouting : c'mon Chris continu ! but we'll have to live with the fact that this piece of beauty is a very short one, but that doesn't change the fact that it's wonderful !

Famous Old Painter Posted December 17, 2008 Share Posted December 17, 2008 I totally feel the same, though I think I mentioned it in another thread. The song keeps building and building and if it were just a minute and a half longer it could've been a massive beautiful masterpiece but it just unwinds. It feels like half a song to me.

LewieGee Posted January 26, 2009 Share Posted January 26, 2009 This is my personal favourite Coldplay song. It's just beautiful. It would have been perfect had it been that little bit longer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Technicolor Liver Posted February 13, 2009 Share Posted February 13, 2009 I think we need to find someone who knows Coldplay and can tell them "It's the perfect song, just make it full length Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prolifick Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 I can't believe some of you don't like it. This is amazing. Short, sweet...serene. agreed completely, it's definitely a grower though. But i agree with the poster it's near perfect. I think the length is just right. leaves u wanting more. definitely in coldplays top 10 songs without a doubt though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
becca10 Posted March 8, 2009 Share Posted March 8, 2009 Ha, there hasn't been any discussion about this song in a while, so I'll start it up again. I think this is a beautiful, passionate and thoughtful song, but I do feel like there should be more. I think it would be awesome with more lyrics at the end. Whenever I listen to it, I can feel more lyrics at the end, and then they aren't there..... But this is Coldplay we're talking about, so I guess they know what they're doing....

ivet Posted March 10, 2009 Share Posted March 10, 2009 Coldplay was so close, SO CLOSE, to making a perfect song, but now I find myself wondering the same question as I did when I left their concert this year: "Is this it?". Where's the rest of the song? It was going so well: the melody, the lyrics, the chord changes, were (and are) so beautiful. But all of a sudden, the song just...well...stops. What the heck?! Are we going to have to wait for a Part II of this song too? I'm very disappointed with this song. OMG! YES! That's what I felt when I bought it off of iTunes...My favorite off the EP and yes, beautiful beyond words...but it's a short song...what 2 and 1/2 minutes??? I was truly sad when I saw that, that was all...:( But i totally agree Coldplay almost had the most perfect song! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pockets Posted August 26, 2009 Share Posted August 26, 2009 This is one of my favorite songs by them. It's nearly perfect. But it is too short. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
