YouTube - Christmas Lights Coldplay DEMO[/url]

 

what do you think? I cant wait to here the full version again and cover it properly!

 

Hey to any other boat trippers that may see this

 

Before I get in trouble, i took this from the documentary where Chris played a snippet of the song last year

 

Hey man, was great to meet you the other night

even though you are clearly wearing a girls jacket ;)

 

but seriously, that was awesome.

 

You should have came with us to the banks afterwards.

they changed the lyrics at the end of the recording,

when we watched them shoot the ending one of the lines is now

'May your troubles soon be gone, oh christmas lights, keep shining on...'

Oooo lyrics and I like 'em! :awesome:

 

I'm playing with fire by posting that.

but whatever, it's out in three days!

I just need to avoid the coldplay police until then....:cool:

I loved what I´ve listened up to now. And good cover :)

The part Jack played there from the demo is the chorus of the song.

the verses and the melody are quite dramatically different throughout,

but in a good way. I just remember our table (mainly me, Chelsea and Dan) just looking at

each and thinking 'this is epic' - I'm pretty sure chelsea was crying :P (I may have made this up)

Ohhh! I can't wait! :dance:

Without saying too much, how was it dramatically different? :thinking:

Well, when I heard the demo, like most others I think I imagined that part of the song being the base of the melody, but it's not - like, I can't explain it - it starts off a LOT slower than I would have imagined and chris' voice is so low, (maybe lower than in 'Yes'), I dunno, it's so hard to try and explain. I think even if we were allowed to give it all away I couldn't because it's too tough to try and put into words. I think you'll love it, I would also say it draws some comparisons to 'Reign of Love' in the piano work, but almost certainly ends up drawing similar ground as 'Viva' or 'LiTii'

Cool! ROL and LIT2 are some of my favorite Coldplay songs so it sounds like it will be good! :D

Yeah it also seems like everyone is having trouble describing it!

I shouted at chris and we said hi to each other from the other side of the barrier,

but I had to leave early, Chelsea met them all though. I'm just happy to have spoke to him.

 

yeah how could I forget, how nonchalant you were, we thought you'd seen the band upstairs! haha.
