clocks

OMG CLOCKS ALL THE WAY IT IS NOT EVEN A COMPETITION!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i never really thought that they sounded alike, plus they have 2 completely different themes.

clocks was my very first coldplay song :) it will always have a special place in my heart. although it is their best song, it's my second favorite, after violet hill, the single greatest song EVER!!!

"Clocks" was the first song I heard, too.

 

You brought up "Violet Hill," and that makes me happy. Despite knowing them and owning two of their albums before that point, I think "Violet Hill" was the song that really put me into Coldplay mode. It's just dark in a beautiful way to me, I think, and it really attracted my attention. It made me want to listen to more, and I gained a greater appreciation of Coldplay in general because of it.

Clocks, I think it's the most perfect song by Coldplay :D It is the one that got me into them also, so it's very important.

i remember like 4 years ago i would youtube clocks & just fast forward the whole thing & just listen to the "home" part, the best part :)

The best part is the intro! :)

i guess it's b/c when i first heard it i heard it from the end, so that is why it will always be my favorite part. plus it just wraps up the song so perfectly, talking about confusion & how nothing is making sense, until you're home. home, where i wanted to go

of course that part is awesome too, the whole song is just perfect! :wacky:

Clocks! I like how the whole song, with its drum beat, actually sounds like ticking clocks... There's this whole other atmosphere about the song. It's one of their best!

Clocks. Not even a contest.

 

I don't think Speed of Sound is terrible, but I can't remember the last time I even played it.

Clocks.

clocks clocks clocks clocks clocks clocks clocks

Speed of Sound is like Guy

Whenever i hear the beginning of "Clocks" in a great mood, so yeah . . . "Clocks" all the way !

besides, it contains one of my favourite lyrics - "am i part of the cure or am i part of the disease ? "

Speed Of Sound for me.

 

But I think too that some of the Coldplay songs have many similarities... For me, 42 is the VLV version of Fix You - look at the structure, a quiet beginning, a dynamic second part and the same quiet end as the beginning.

Those two songs are still both awesome, but it's just a remark. :)

They are quite similar. When I was first getting into Coldplay I always got them mixed up :laugh3:

 

But now, knowing the difference :P, I think I would have to go with....:thinking:...Clocks.

Clocks... no question. To echo others on here, SoS always felt like an attempt to mimic Clocks.

Clocks.

 

I love Speed of Sound, but Clocks appeals to me more. (I'm not hearing the comparisons between the two songs. Is it that obvious?)

Clocks for me, still my favoriet song all time! :D

To be honest, I'm not much of a fan of either song (I know, an unpopular opinion). I usually don't listen to either. I would have to pick Speed of Sound, though.

While I adore Speed of Sound, Clocks would beat it out. It's just a classic. But it is very close for me. Both are in my top favs!

Clocks, I think. I just find it easier to get into.

Clocks for me. I don't know why, but I love the piano in it, and it has always been one of my favourites. Although, I do like Speed of Sound alot.

They do sound simular, they use to confuse me and I got them mixed up a bit. I love both so much, but I choose clocks.

Speed of sound. The End.
