Not at all! My partner cant stand Coldplay, and the radio station and TV channel is changed immediately when they are on! :angry: it makes me so mad!! I cant even mention them, let alone Chris Martin's name in the house without getting eyes rolled at me! If they are not careful, this could cause a future problem! ;)

I confess. I met my boyfriend at a slipknot concert.:confused: well, he saved me from a mosh pit then asked if i had a headache(he did:rolleyes:sissy:P)so he gave me his ipod, FULL of coldplay:) i looked up at him and he said "Dammit, you probably think im an idiot." NO. lol, so it ends up he lives a few blocks away from me, but he doesnt go to my school:(

 

 

 

yup. thats my story of how i met my coldplay prince:D

Yeah, my husband and I are huge Coldplay fans. Actually his entire family are insane fans.

 

I married into a cool family :cool:

Haha, yeah. The first passionate conversation I had with my bf was about Coldplay. I knew my bf since we were 16 cuz we were in the same class, but we didn't really talk to each other until in 2004, when we sat together in a different class.

 

He found out I was a massive Coldplay fan, and he told me about how his first album (in cassette format) was Coldplay's Parachutes which he bought back in 2000. Lmao.

 

 

And ever since then, we've been stuck together.

 

 

He knows about my lifelong ambition to go watch Coldplay live someday, and last January, I was talking about how in September, after I graduate from uni, I plan to go back to Machester and watch Coldplay and he was a bit upset cuz he wouldn't have been able to go with me...

 

Then in February, Coldplay announced their Singapore concert, so me and my bf finally managed to go together to watch Coldplay perform last Monday. And we're still talking about that concert today. :nice:

 

And he totally puts up with my love for Chris Martin. Lol. I was married to Chris on the Sims 1&2 for ages before I divorced him in 2006 to marry my bf. In the Sims. Lol. Am I a nerd or what? :lol:

n0pe

nd he totally puts up with my love for Chris Martin. Lol. I was married to Chris on the Sims 1&2 for ages before I divorced him in 2006 to marry my bf. In the Sims. Lol. Am I a nerd or what? :lol:

 

Not really, I've been dying to make a Sim me for ages to have alongside my little Simmy Coldplay but I don't have the custom content for it to ACTUALLY look somewhat like me.

I've been thinking of whether to share my story for a couple of days...

 

It was almost 6 years ago, I was @ a record store checking out the new releases when I stumbled upon AROBTTH. Back then, I only knew Coldplay as the band who did Yellow and Trouble. I asked a guy @ the cashier if I could test the CD out, and he was really cheery and helpful. He started talking about Coldplay and mentioned he liked them a lot and really recommended the album. I bought the CD and thanked him for his help.

 

Over the next few days, I listened to the album over and over again. I decided to return to buy Parachutes as well. As I stepped into the shop, he gave me a cheeky smile and approached me. Surprisingly, he recognised me as the chick who bought AROBTTH and asked me if he could help me again. So I told him I really enjoyed AROBTTH and was looking for Coldplay's older album, and he got it for me. So again, I paid, thanked him and walked out.

 

I don't know if it was fate or just pure coincidence, a week later I was sitting on a bench along the main shopping stretch in town waiting for a friend and listening to my MP3 player. I was staring into space and letting my mind wander when someone suddenly snapped his fingers in front of me, startling me. Lo and behold, it was the same guy from the record store. He smiled and asked what I was listening to, so I told him AROBTTH. He laughed and sat down beside me and we started chatting about Coldplay and music. When my friend arrived, I told him I'll go to the store one day to catch up with him, but he scribbled down his email address on a scrap of paper and told me to email him anytime.

 

And so, that's how it started.

 

 

 

But it ended a little too soon. Just 3 months later, he was involved in a freak accident and lost his life. I was so shocked when his mother called me up sobbing with the news. I'd never been so heartbroken before and I literally cried for hours until my eyes were swollen and my throat hoarse.

 

His parents knew how much he loved Coldplay, and played The Scientist as one of the songs at his funeral. I broke down so badly listening to that song. Up till today, I cannot listen to The Scientist without feeling a lump in my throat forming.

Awwww, Minny! :sad::hug: My mum had a fiancé before she met my dad and he died in a boating accident, and my parents are seperated... I don't think she ever got over it actually :confused:

Awwww, Minny! :sad::hug: My mum had a fiancé before she met my dad and he died in a boating accident, and my parents are seperated... I don't think she ever got over it actually :confused:

:hug:

 

I've stayed single since then though :thinking:

Wow.... just wow....

I can't choose the right words to say...

Wow.... That's what I call a tradegy....

 

:hug:

:hug:

 

The thing about us was that back then, he was the huge fan while I just an ok fan. After he died, I couldn't bring myself to listen to Coldplay for a long time. When I finally got over everything and went back to listening to them, I started to like them even more than before. And now I may be what you call fanatical :tongue:

 

Loving Coldplay is also probably my form of remembrance for him too.

Oh Min, i am so sorry. it must be so hard to write about it. Thank you for sharing your story

 

I had a very close friend since i had know since 7th grade and we actually went to Uni together who Loved Bruce Springsteen ( we are from New Jersey). He saw him in concert like 10 times. My friend passed away 2 years ago and i cry every time i hear Bruce. It breaks my heart. He would have love that there is a Bruce Springsteen Channel on Sirius Satellite Radio

 

and no, my mate is not into Coldplay at all

My boyfriend and I have been going out a little more than three years. When I first met him he said the only thing he listened to was Video Game music (from Final Fantasy and other RPGs, Nintendo and Halo).

 

I was shocked, and since I have an extensive music collection, i quick made him a bunch of mixes of all of my favorite stuff at the time. That included all the coldplay I had heard. He said he liked them.

 

I have provided him with all of his Coldplay music. It makes me happy.

 

Ever since I met him I told him it was my dream to have him come with me to a coldplay concert. I had been to my frist about 4 months before he and i met. July 1st I will get my wish, as I bought him and his little borther and mom (Yes, i've converted them as well) all coldplay tickets. 500 dollars later, but it will be worth it.

 

I am wayy more obsessed with Coldplay than he is, been a fan since the very begining, but the fact that he enjoys it makes me happy. We want to play some coldplay at our wedding, we're not sure what. I had originally wanted Careful Where you Stand, he told me it was to mellow for him (that's almost killed me, but I moved on).

 

So, that's my story :)

Oh Min, what a sad story. It must have been so hard for you :cry:

To lose someone you love is so painfull :cry:

Maybe you can choose one particular song and dedicate it to him. Everytime you hear it, you think it's for him. Only for him. That helped me to get over the loss of a friend. But maybe you already did this, with The Scientist. :hug:

:cry:

Your story very much resembles mine.My boyfriend and I were coldplay fans.He kinda got me started.We stayed 2 years together.Then he got cancer and he died within a few months.We played Green Eyes at his funeral cause that was his favourite.It's the saddest thing in the world but you know...I'm happy to have been with him

who knew this thread would be so sad? thanks everyone for sharing. It does help though.

Yes, The Scientist would be the song for him. I was studying biomedical science in uni when I met him, so it was even more apt.
