As an avid fan of Coldplay's song The Goldrush, with all it's jolly laughing and happiness, I would like to create a group via a thread under the name...The Goldrush Society. (I am currently studying for a midterm while this song came up and I just had to do this to keep myself sane for a few minutes)

 

Now, I am not certain what being apart of The Goldrush Society will involve, but we can certainly figure that out. At least, it will be a place to appreciate the greatness of The Goldrush. At most,...well that's for us to find out!

 

Thank you.

 

A few reasons I love The Goldrush:

 

1. It's like NOTHING Coldplay had done.

2. It's looping melodies scattered about.

3. Will get's to sing!

4. Chris sings too!

5. Everyone gets to talk in it. And it just seems like a culmination of all the fun of the studio sessions.

6. That said, it's got the least discipline (and probably because of that the most) and it just goes all over.

7. It's fun.

8. People are laughing.

9. It seems like it has no real meaning other than being fun. I mean, "Why use a mirror if a mirror don't shine?" That's ridiculous! EDIT: As am I because the actual lyrics are "what use the metal if the metal don't shine?" But that's even more ridiculous than what I had thought before!

10. Because right now I've been digging so long that I never see the sun.

 

 

Thanks again!

OMG! :o I've been wrong for a while as I shouted those lyrics...:\

That's a terrible lyric interpretation, he's obviously talking about gold.

Can I be Goldrush Society Member, pleasE?:)

:D

I wanna Join! :D :dance:

I went digging for Gold! I went down to the Valley!!!!

That's a terrible lyric interpretation, he's obviously talking about gold.

 

Well yes, but why would someone write a song about gold? :\

 

Most of Coldplay's songs aren't that thought provoking. It's more of Chris's emotions. And I just found this song brilliantly without thought! :D

 

Perhaps when he talks about the woman asking for a diamond ring there is some bigger stuff going on, but this certainly is not like All I Want is You by U2. :smug:

 

It's just a rock-rollicking song! Worthy of a society. :P

Anyone can join this society! The only requirement is a healthy (or unhealthy? :rolleyes:) love of The Goldrush!

I love this song!!! :dance:

4. Chris sings too!

 

Doesn't he sing all the time?

I LOVE the Goldrush.I know there's debate about whether Guy sings on it or not but I believe sp.Anyways.I love that song

Doesn't he sing all the time?

 

Indeed, he does. And aren't many of us here because of it? :wink3:

 

But it's awesome because it's both of them singing, not just a song for Will and a song for Chris. It's awesome imo at least. :cool:

I LOVE the Goldrush.I know there's debate about whether Guy sings on it or not but I believe sp.Anyways.I love that song

 

Yes I remember that debate. I have no clue if he does or not. :confused:

There are a lot of different voices in there.

^Has anyone asked the Oracle?If so she should answer.It's more important than boyfriend problems

I love The Goldrush, its upbeat and they all are singing and its just all around a good fun song. I'd say I like it better than most of the songs actually on their albums.

 

^Has anyone asked the Oracle?If so she should answer.It's more important than boyfriend problems

 

It's definitely been asked countless times around when it was first released, maybe its just one of those she doesn't know the answer to or is saving for a rainy day.

*JOINS!

 

I listen to that song countless times during the day! :wacko:

i'm so in!

i could listen to this song for hours

and i don't care what anyone says, Guy definitely sings in this song....i can tell :)

it's one of my favorites for sure

^Has anyone asked the Oracle?If so she should answer.It's more important than boyfriend problems

 

I did, and I think numerous others did, but she never responded.

 

I love, love, love this song. Probably my favourite b-side from the VLV era.

I WILL BE A "GOLDIGGER" TOO! :lol:

*pun intended*

Can I be a member? :dance:

Count me in! :wacko:

 

This song just sounds so fun and carefree, and the background talking and laughing makes it even more special.
