Bonus_mosher Posted November 24, 2010 Share Posted November 24, 2010 I'm just listening to them on shuffle at the moment in iTunes, and the acoustic version of 'Lovers in Japan' came on and it got me to wondering about that rarity where a raw and stripped down version of a song is better than the album version, another one that instantly springs to mind is the 'Swallowed in the Sea' acoustic version, which blows my mind everytime I listen to it! what are your favourites?

Bonus_mosher Posted November 24, 2010 Author Share Posted November 24, 2010 Absolutely love the acoustic version of The Hardest Part.. agreed. Will's backing vocals sell the chorus. it's subtle but it's so good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Long Live Life Posted November 24, 2010 Share Posted November 24, 2010 The acoustic version (sadly only on YouTube) of CHris Martin's piano (with violin) version of Yellow @ MountainView, California last year is the most beautiful version of it I've ever heard. I hope they will record it one day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nothingtoseehere Posted November 24, 2010 Share Posted November 24, 2010 Oh, the acoustic version of Lovers in Japan is definitely way better than the album version. I dunno, but it just sounds sweeter. Some songs on Viva la Vida sound perfect the way they are, but I can't get over the fact that some songs sound waaaay to overproduced. I miss those types of Coldplay songs that are more imperfect, where you can here the tiny little flaws that make the songs even more special. These days you only get those in their acoustic or live versions of songs... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corkus Posted November 24, 2010 Share Posted November 24, 2010 There's a ton of good acoustic versions of "Yellow", most of which exceed its standard equivalent.

missjasely96 Posted November 24, 2010 Share Posted November 24, 2010 Lovers in Japan Swallowed in Sea A Message In My Place Shiver acoustic is beautiful but not so "full" as the recorded I also heard an acoustic cover of DAHF...Coldplay should an acoustic version too :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lovers.in.nj Posted November 25, 2010 Share Posted November 25, 2010 The live/kind of acoustic version of Green Eyes is better, as is The Hardest Part. Shiver acoustic is great too, and Lovers In Japan may be the best acoustic they've ever made. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

getithom Posted November 25, 2010 Share Posted November 25, 2010 I can't think of the radio station Chris and Jonny were on, but they did an acoustic "The Scientist" and it was extordinary. That, and "A Message" for Hope for Haiti. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
