Jtshee010 Posted May 26, 2009 Share Posted May 26, 2009 No, not the song, but the phrase in general. It's in that song, "Life in Technicolor ii" and "Strawberry Swing". Has it ever mentioned why or anything? Or does anyone have any insight to why Chris, Will, and the rest of Coldplay have put that phrase into three different songs?

Novah Posted May 26, 2009 Share Posted May 26, 2009 My guess is it has something to do with stuff like this: ;) And it's four songs. The Yellow single has a B-side called No More Keeping My Feet on the Ground! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
notlost92 Posted May 26, 2009 Share Posted May 26, 2009 There's a repeating phrase in X&Y (album, not song) too- "if you never try, you'll never know" ;) I think they like to have a repeating line, it's a nice thread to keep throughout the album :shrug: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bonus_mosher Posted May 26, 2009 Share Posted May 26, 2009 The point has been raised before, I guess chris just liked those lyrics and they fit in with the song. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corkus Posted May 26, 2009 Share Posted May 26, 2009 I believe The Oracle once answered this about how many Coldplay songs repeat themes and phrases, like ladders to the sun. It draws some criticism, but whatever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Escapist Posted May 26, 2009 Share Posted May 26, 2009 I like it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jay Niguez Posted May 26, 2009 Share Posted May 26, 2009 There's a repeating phrase in X&Y (album, not song) too- "if you never try, you'll never know" ;) I think they like to have a repeating line, it's a nice thread to keep throughout the album :shrug: I've once made a list with metaphors often used on an album, I need to find the list. :D Parachutes has often had the "living in a bubble", if I don't get it wrong, and X&Y the "puzzle" situation, VLV clearly has the "my feet won't touch the ground" phrase. :D I don't think that it's bad, I think it's okay, but if it gets too often per album, it'll get annoying and uncreative (in my opinion).

century-letters Posted May 26, 2009 Share Posted May 26, 2009 Yeah, I noticed that after I got Prospekt's March. The b-side is great too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tauiwi Posted May 26, 2009 Share Posted May 26, 2009 It's good to have a recurring line throughout albums, etc.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coldplayisawesome Posted May 26, 2009 Share Posted May 26, 2009 what exactly is it supposed to mean? :\ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
branshi_baby Posted May 26, 2009 Share Posted May 26, 2009 :laugh3: I remember I used to hate that band Maroon 5 because of similar reasons "...cause I won't say goodbye anymore" "...Six foot tall, came without a warning, so I had to shoot him dead he won't come around here anymore" "Give me something to believe in cause I don't believe in you anymore, anymoooore" And then I noticed that Coldplay does the same thing :laugh3: Whatever, I like it now. Yes, it's repetitive, but it adds to each and every song. It fits :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pseudonym Posted May 26, 2009 Share Posted May 26, 2009 I find it ironic that this phrase is in 4 songs, and then they have a song called "Gravity". Make up your mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
strawberryfields Posted May 28, 2009 Share Posted May 28, 2009 ^Maybe the recording in zero gravity thing had some meaning to it. :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Novah Posted May 28, 2009 Share Posted May 28, 2009 I find it ironic that this phrase is in 4 songs, and then they have a song called "Gravity". Make up your mind. Hahahahaha :lol: But this is canceled out by a little song called "Parachutes." ;) And hey, what about "The World Turned Upside Down" and "Your World Turns Upside Down"? :o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gotcheese2768 Posted May 28, 2009 Share Posted May 28, 2009 i think it fits wherever they use it so i don't mind.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
