noonsun Posted February 22, 2009 Share Posted February 22, 2009 I like listening to the instrumental LiT more than I do the singing one. Anyone agree? I don't know why, it's just nice to listen to the rest of the band get all the attention. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sparks22 Posted March 3, 2009 Share Posted March 3, 2009 Yep, I also think the instrumental version (you mean LIT1) is much more special than the one with the vocals (LiT2). When you're listening to it you concentrate more on the instruments, which are the most beautiful part of the song, it's just pure. Lit2 is not bad, I also like Chris' vocals but I'm happy that there was LIT1 on the album because it is a perfect intro. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tnspieler1012 Posted March 4, 2009 Share Posted March 4, 2009 I think they did exactly the right thing with this song. The instrumental introduction with the Jon Hopkins keyboards is a perfectly glorious intro to an album. But the vocal version is too good a pop song to not release.

ricardo Posted March 5, 2009 Share Posted March 5, 2009 I remember when I listened the first time the preview of this song, the second verse, and I got quite excited, I was saying it was the best song ever, but when listening the full song I got a bit disappointed, the transition between the intro and the first verse wasn't right at all; I love the lyrics, but Chris could have done better singing it, his voice was in shape but it was too popish and during the chorus loud vocals ruined the beautiful break.... besides it was better with that Hopkins stuff, then the indian instrument and when the full band joined it was much better to have the other part of the song rather than chris singing. The vocals ruined the beautiful music, besides LitII is just too repetitive, and the oooohs on the instrumental stand out much more. Well I did liked LitII, but Lit was better.

century-letters Posted July 5, 2009 Share Posted July 5, 2009 I love LiTII. I found that the Jon Hopkins track worked really well with LiT, but my ears were just begging for some lyrics. That's not to say I don't like Coldplay's instrumentals, I just find LiTII better than LiT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A Whisperer Posted July 21, 2009 Share Posted July 21, 2009 Yeah a shame they cut out Jon Hopkins part, in LiT II. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keddie Posted July 29, 2009 Share Posted July 29, 2009 I agree! I prefer the instrumental because it gives you the option of associating the tune with anything you'd like, without the confinement of lyrics to signify what the song must mean.

Josh42 Posted August 8, 2009 Share Posted August 8, 2009 I like both equally. Same. Live, LiT is the best part of the concert in my opinion. That intro makes the crowd go crazy. I get goosebumps just thinking about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starlight Chaser Posted September 1, 2009 Share Posted September 1, 2009 I love them both, but the intrumental version is slightly better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obi Posted January 1, 2010 Share Posted January 1, 2010 The album version is far superior in my opinion. I dislike the lyrics and don't think the song really works with vocals at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is indeed a perfect intro - and in addition: When hearing it in concert, you know that an amazing concert has just BEGUN, but when you hear LiTII then the concert is almost over (a little sad).
