- DAN - Posted November 21, 2008 Share Posted November 21, 2008 I just wanted to post my appreciation for 'Postcards From Far Away'. Even though it is quite a short piece of music it is by far my favourite piece on Prospekt's March, or perhaps out of all of the new material I have heard since the release of AROBTTH. It reminds me of the track 'Parachutes'. Short but sweet. It also has a 'Bucket For A Crown' vibe to it, which I think can still be found on YouTube. I like that, even though Coldplay have taken the commercial path with their music, they're still able to create something as deep and as beautiful as this. If you get what I mean. It was completely unexpected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sticker14 Posted November 27, 2008 Share Posted November 27, 2008 Dan, I love your avatar. I don't know if you saw CP live this time out, but they played some Boards of Canada before Coldplay went on. I was jamming out, it was great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
double-trouble Posted November 28, 2008 Share Posted November 28, 2008 It's short but sweet, which makes me delighted and sad at the same time. " Life is so short and I am sure there must be something more..." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clocks In My Place Posted December 1, 2008 Share Posted December 1, 2008 It is indeed a rather fine piece of music. Short, sweet and yet touching. I might want to learn how to play it some time, I don't think it's so hard to play. :nice: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Magnus Posted December 4, 2008 Share Posted December 4, 2008 A beautiful piece of piano, but I have a feeling like it's unfinished... Would've been a great song if with lyrics and 3 mins long... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Batmotor Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 A really short track,and i don't understand why,but it's a good piano tune,maybe there will be a longer version just like 'Life in Technicolor' it's like they want to know if the people like the tune and if so they will make a longer track,it's an experiment.

Corkus Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 Doubt it, as it strikes me as more of a nice "interlude" track that can't have much added to it, hence why it wound up on the EP. It's great to hear live, but also really suspenseful knowing that you're about to wail and scream when it ends 'cause Viva is about to start.

Tnspieler1012 Posted February 12, 2009 Share Posted February 12, 2009 I agree, in fact I'd be dissapointed if it was expanded into anything more than it is. Any longer and it'd just become boring. And there's no way it can be turned into a pop tune, it frankly doesn't deserve that fate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sparks22 Posted March 3, 2009 Share Posted March 3, 2009 I adore the track, it should have been on VLV as a hidden track behind Death and all his friends, that would have been a great surprise... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
