Yeh the thing is a acoustic version of ETIAW - those lyrics would stand out even more. :(

 

hahaha good point

Just heard the song.... They might as well change their name to Coldgaga and be done with it.

An acoustic version of ETIAW just wouldn't succeed unlike most of their songs.

It's great to hear a new Coldplay song in so long!

I can't say I don't like the song, it's a great summer tune, however I hope that ETIAW doesn't portray the whole content of the album.

Ha Ha Ha!

I can still see this song being used in Wimbledon tv montages or when someone wins Britain's Best Pudding or whatever cooking competitions are on tv these days.

Shut up you negative anti-coldpplay people! Chris Martin is a Firework! He's gonna show you what he's worth! Make you go oh oh oh!

YES. Montage galore.

 

And I have a feeling it will be used on Entertainment Tonight every night for at least the next month.

 

Oh and if they end up performing in the opening ceremony of the Olympics next year (as rumored), this is likely what they will be performing.

Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!

Just listened to it.

 

I suppose it's ok- not as bad as I thought it would be, but certainly not as good as it could have been.

It's certainly a different style, and I'm fine with that, but. . . the vocals. . . :bigcry:

Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!

 

Yyyeeeeeeesssssssssssssssssssssssssssss

^^ Precisely my opinion. I don't have a problem with anything else.

All they have to do if they are going to do the Olympics is perform Clocks complete with the great green laser show ala Brits 2003/Live 2003. There are moments which have you hooked to a band and that performance at the Brits over 8 years ago was one of those moments. I was astounded!

Btw, I was thinking- Christmas Lights seemed to have a more "natural" Coldplay style then this does. This song almost seems like they tried too hard to be different, and don't feel comfortable doing it.

Yeh I know about that but who's to say they will use this song - besides London 2012 is gonna be a waste of time anyway. Instead they should have spent the money on supporting more home grown talent so we can win more than a handful of medals.

Getting Coldplay to perform at the Olympics won't hinder the development of young athletes in this country!

I agree with Christina, it doesn't sound natural.

 

Someone mentioned it earlier either in this thread or in the coldplay section, but a few months ago I ( along with probably many other fans) got the impression that the band was going back to be more intimate with their fans. It was mentioned and I felt that was the general vibe. People, rightfully, gave them a bit of stick for not playing a lot of the music while on tour.

 

I don't know, I was hoping that they would have taken that into consideration and brought it back to the simple band layout. That may be boring to some people's standards but it suited them as a band. And with this new song, besides his voice it doesn't sound like Coldplay.

 

But that's just my opinion.

I forgot to mention how hard I gigglesnorted when I heard the "WA WA WA WA WAAATERFAAALL"

LoL

 

I didn't mean that I meant the whole project as a whole.

I died

Getting the opportunity to host the Olympics meant pouring more money into the development of young sports persons in this country. It was a large chunk of the budget so it isn't a waste of money. If we didn't get the chance to host the Olympics the youth wouldn't be getting supported. We should be honored to host the Olympics and I for one am looking forward to it.

And I love love your avatar :heart: @Aleluvscp

With all due respect, this song is a piece of shit.

It's nice to be in a thread with people who actually listen to the lyrics and melody. :D
