1. Strawberry Swing

2. Death And All His Friends

3. Viva La Vida

4. Violet Hill

5. Lovers In Japan

 

Hard to choose..

 

Edit: O crap, I forgot Life in Technicolor ii.. Well, that's on the list too :lol:

Before making my list, I have to say that I really loved all the music this time around. It was all so varied that every song had its own special reason I liked it. Anyway, in no particular order..

 

Strawberry Swing - I just love it, I don't really know why

Life in Technicolour (either one really) - I love the eclectic instruments in it, and the way it just builds up and up, and I also LOVE the lyrics in ii.

The Goldrush - This song makes me sad because I wish I could've heard it live somehow.

Death and All His Friends - Not the song overall so much as the piano/guitar breakdown in the middle, which is BRILLIANT.

Lovers in Japan - Just something about the way that tack piano rolls that makes this song amazing!

 

Though I hate leaving out Now My Feet Won't Touch The Groud (I absolutely love how they had subtle horns in that song) and Violet Hill because I've listened to that song about 350 times and I still love it, I think those 5 are my 'favorites' :)

1. Life in Technicolor ii

2. Lovers in Japan (prospekt)

3. 42

4. Violet Hill

5. Death and All His Friends

Lovers in Japan Acoustic: I get a bit teary eyed for some reason. Love this interpretation.

 

Sorry but where can I find this LIJ acoustic? I don't think I've heard this yet.

1 - Lovers in Japan

2 - Life in Technicolour ii

3 - Viva la Vida

4 - Glass of Water

5 - 42

I like lists, although they tend to change pretty often. But for now, it would look like this:

 

1. Lovers in Japan (Osaka Sun Mix)

2. Prospekt's March/Poppyfields

3. Chinese Sleep Chant

4. Glass of Water

5. Viva la Vida

 

Although I'm pretty tired of Viva la Vida at the moment, it's still an epic song, especially live.

Hm, very hard to name favourites...

I think this could be my list:

 

1. Viva la Vida

2. Life in Technicolor

3. Lost?

4. Violet Hill

5. Lovers in Japan

 

Nevertheless I really like all of Coldplay's songs. :)

My choices:

 

1. Violet Hill. SO glad this finally saw the light of day, the lyrics are incredible, so emotional and evocative.

 

2. Lost+. I can't now listen to Lost! without feeling like it's missing something without JayZ. I'm probably one of the only people that thinks that.

 

3. Viva la Vida. Stunning piece of ORIGINAL writing! It was so brave of them to come back with this after X&Y.

 

4. Life in Technicolor ii. I was so pleased to hear the full version of this on Prospekt. Amazing live.

 

5. Lovers in Japan. Just gorgeous, uplifting and beautiful.

 

 

It's all amazing though.

my choice...

 

1- LiT I and Death and All His friends... both stunning, great opening and great close!I think they give the best sample of the Viva spirit...

2- Strawberry Swing...I can't help clap my hands whenever I hear it!and it makes me think of a perfect, perfect day....

3- Lost! , this song is almost a mantra for me

4- 42

5- postcards from far away...just precious.

 

I think that cemetries and lovers should be in the list, too, but there's no space! and violet hill...the "if you love me, why'd you let me go" is straightforwarrd and heartbreaking at the same time...

In no particular order...

Viva La Vida - perhaps an obvious one but it really lifts my mood every time I hear it

Glass of Water - I actually prefer the live version but either will suit me fine!

42

Life in Technicolor

Lost! (I think)

1. Lovers in Japan
