June 4, 201115 yr Do you have a link to ETIAW? I've been looking forward to hearing it live! Uh...look at the Festival thread.... Sorry but I can't find the link right now and I'm going to bed in a sec...I have the SATs tomorrow!!!!! :cry:
June 4, 201115 yr It reminds me of a AROBTTH era song with a bit of a twist... Yeah - sounds like they've found a lost AROBTTH demo or something and added some ambience
June 4, 201115 yr Nm, just found it: [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=brs86zz1OcM]YouTube - Every Teardrop Is A Waterfall - Coldplay live at Rock im Park in Nuremberg 2011[/ame] Chris' dancing at 2:55 :laugh3::heart:
June 4, 201115 yr i seriously hate it, it made me sick to my stomach, its soo badly mixed you cant hear nothing, the intro sounds like someone swinging a cat by its tail and chris' voice is autotoned, and the wa-wa-wa-waterfall is just embarresing...this IS the worst coldplay song...Coldplay is the new Ke$ha...

June 4, 201115 yr Do you have a link to ETIAW? I've been looking forward to hearing it live! For things like that: Just have a look at the gig thread. :idea2: I already put the videos we have in the first post. The rest: you can find it in the last pages of the Rock Im Park thread.
June 4, 201115 yr Hopefully in the morning there'll be some new, FULL, songs on youtube. For all the excitement that there was for every teardrop is a waterfall, this should be just as, if not more, exciting.

June 4, 201115 yr Hopefully in the morning there'll be some new, FULL, songs on youtube. For all the excitement that there was for every teardrop is a waterfall, this should be just as, if not more, exciting. i really hope so, cause ETIAW is a spit in the face for me, but at the moment im more worried than excited :\
June 4, 201115 yr [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tj9mbEM8aYc]YouTube - every teardrop is a waterfall cover (with guitar chords and riff)[/ame] listen
June 4, 201115 yr It was horribly overplayed which meant it's barely listened to on my ipod but I have to agree. When I first heard it Viva was a great pop song. Great pop like Take On Me by a-ha but obviously not quite as great. I agree with you on this one. When I listened to VLV for the first time, I knew that I loved it immediately. However, the song was way overplayed on the radio and so I don't ever feel the same enthusiasm I had initially for VLV. I never listen to VLV (the song) any more.:\ As to ETIAW, this song has grown on me and now I rate it a 10. I love everything about it. I don't understand why people are so averse to coldplay have some pop-ish songs. :bomb: It's not the end of the world. Besides I have no doubt that they will have rock songs in the new album.
June 4, 201115 yr This is the song everyone was all hyped about at the concert http://youtu.be/OoQXTnZni8E meh
June 4, 201115 yr for some reason, people think that because its a pop song its not good. on the contrary, its because its not good at all that it's not liked. i loved VLV and love C-play's hits just as much as the next person, but if you compare it to pop hits, this doesn't rank in the top-20 currently, and to be honest, if doesn;t compare to born this way AS A POP SONG and i hate lady gaga!!!
June 4, 201115 yr every teardrop will be a HIT The new single is going to be a massive hit on the mainstream radio...I actually think is a CLASSIC GOOD OLD FASHIONED pop song...but is it a good Coldplay song?? mmm...hard to say...I don't think so. this is going to be a hit on the next tour as well because (you have to admit) it has everything to be that...but isn't what VLV was already? but VLV has something more than the rhythm..it has MEANING and it's an intelligent song...but this?? God!! I'm worried! if this would have been the first single of a brand new pop artist, it would have been great, but this is a single from the same guys that delivered to the world songs like Yellow, Clocks, Politik, and even Viva la Vida....guess we're gonna have to wait to hear the entire album
June 4, 201115 yr In response to Debs, I'm gonna go ahead and say.. I'm entitled to my own opinion. Yes, I love this band. Yes, I have for a long time. But I don't have to love everything they release. This just so happened to be a song that, to me, sounds like everything else on the radio that I less than like, but I'm not going to say I hate Coldplay. If LP5 is full of songs like this, then no, I won't be buying it because I'm not "with the boys through thick and thin". I listen to music I like, not music released by bands I like. There is a clear and distinct difference, and while I'm all for musical evolution (loved VLVODAAHF), this is not the kind of musical evolution I was expecting. Coldply's entitled to make whatever kind of music they want, and if they're happy, I'm happy. I just won't listen to it. Lighten up, everyone. Very few of us are actually hating on Coldplay here.
June 4, 201115 yr I voted 5 b/c not feeling that I like this poppy direction, after listening about five times, seriously, I can't listen anymore... but then again, who buys the records these days... maybe catering more to the mainstream pop audience. OH WELL, if the whole album goes this way... let them get it out of their system and I will still be waiting as a huge Coldplay fan nevertheless. I may have to go dig the "disco ball" out of the attic! LOL "Hear my prayer...May LP6 be recorded in the garage in analogue without all this processing, synths, sampling and Eno. Just do "Coldplay" without any outside influences and create your "own" music...beats or no beats, whatever... you know what I mean? Amen." Really hoping LP5 is better than just this one song... anxious to see Coldplay at Lolla! :)
June 4, 201115 yr I voted 5 b/c not feeling that I like this poppy direction, after listening about five times, seriously, I can't listen anymore... but then again, who buys the records these days... Very interesting point. While I obviously don't agree with the literal meaning of the statement, "...who buys the records these days...", while touring VLV Chris had stated in an interview that the listening patters of music has indeed changed over the last decade and they wanted their next release to kind of embrace that. Maybe by having a more accessible sound like that of ETIAW allows the casual listener to pick and choose the songs they like. For the record, I personally hate this aspect of modern music because rather than being about establishing the song within the context of an album, there's a real fast food/confectionary store mentality to it where it's merely about taking the bits you like and basing the album on that. Before iTunes, this did happen with things like piracy, but not to the extent that it's at now where it's commercially advantageous and in full practice.
June 4, 201115 yr HAHA, I love how some people who were totally dogging the song are now trying to back track a bit after Debs post. Seriously, it's fine to have an opinion and post it, but you all need to learn not to get so emotional and post things you might later regret. At least Debs can see the poll is trending in a positive way (ratings of 6 or above), which means it reflects the majority.

True that... or you could say does todays artist, and I say "artist" follow his true creativity or chooses the money trail. The corporate media moguls decide what gets played on the radio and TV, so alot of it today is learning how to play the game or.... you loose!

At least Debs can see the poll is trending in a positive way (ratings of 6 or above), which means it reflects the majority. True. I am guilty of that but lesson learned from me. Cuz I realized I gotta make up my mind about how I feel about a song first. I did feel the way I felt in my posts at the time though. I think I have a right to change my mind in any case. Even if I were to totally trash the song and say I hated it (which I didn't) I would like to feel that I can change my mind about it an decide to totally love it :P

June 4, 201115 yr Cool you're going to lolla too :) Yes!!!! And I hope I will like this song better live... cause I never like Lovers In Japan ... I skipped that song on album until I went to live show and I guess the butterflies changed my mind.. heh! Muse and Foofighters w. Coldplay makes a perfect weekend!
