LauCH Posted September 23, 2011 Share Posted September 23, 2011 Like someone said on the first page of the topic, it will not beat Fix You, or Clocks, etc. It's an excellent song, I love it.. but the best ever? I don't think so... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hartroc Posted September 23, 2011 Share Posted September 23, 2011 I mean, listen to Sparks or Amsterdam and there's no comparison. Exactly. Charlie Brown >> Amsterdam >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Sparks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blockflote Posted September 24, 2011 Share Posted September 24, 2011 Exactly. Charlie Brown >> Amsterdam >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Sparks I actually love Sparks, dude. :nod: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corkus Posted September 24, 2011 Share Posted September 24, 2011 Sparks is fucking awesome. Charlie Brown is harmless and inoffensive, especially when compared to the two lead singles off MX, but it's not even their best song of the past year. I even liked Christmas Lights better.

It's not a bad tune, but it isn't better than the other songs mentioned. @Corkus -- I loved Christmas Lights :rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love you for saying that! Sparks is one of my all time favorite songs, not just from coldplay but in general. I used to sing my girlfriend to sleep with that song over the phone, now were married and I still sing it to her. Everything about that song is perfect and as much as I like CB, sparks is way way better! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JordanHH Posted September 25, 2011 Share Posted September 25, 2011 I've fallen in love with this song again recently. Surely it's going to be a hit worldwide? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
basstialbo Posted September 25, 2011 Share Posted September 25, 2011 this song is good, but not the best ever, clocks is EPIC, and Shiver, and Viva La Vida, Hurts Like Heaven and Charlie Brown are good songs, the betters of the new era, but stay in the lot of best songs of COLDPLAY Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love Sparks as well. It has a cool chord progression, bassline and melody. But I like Charlie Brown better. Christmas Lights is a boring piece of ****.

the yellow of ur life Posted September 30, 2011 Share Posted September 30, 2011 Love charlie brown, but its not even the best song on the album. hurts like heaven is my fav. its all a matter of taste. to me coldplay doesnt have a best song, they have so many great songs it impossible to choose. Sometimes clocks sounds the best, maybe its everythings not lost, politik or even death and all of his friends is great. it depends on mood and taste. also on an unrelated note, I thought this was magical [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VL-lKzQVSDg&feature=player_detailpage]Us Against The World - Coldplay (cover) Mike Stefaniak - YouTube[/ame] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The best song is always based around the feeling and your current mood. For example I love Charlie Brown, but of late I've been enjoying Paradise almost as much or more.

MosesTheMarshmallow Posted October 1, 2011 Share Posted October 1, 2011 I loved Charlie Brown on first listen but now I'm really deeply in love with the song. It's just so happy...and not in the same way as ETIAW. I really enjoy that the band makes this song such a wonderful live experience and future-hit without resorting to cheaper tactics (see: In My Place, VLV, Paradise).

Just because it was a radio hit doesn't mean it's a bad song...There's really nothing else like it. Unquestionably one of Martin's best lyrical works, one of his greatest melodies.

Unquestionably one of Martin's best lyrical works, one of his greatest melodies. What's cheap about it? Totally agree. Viva was not planned as a single; rather, became one because of the fans, remembering that song was released as an extra in iTunes and then began to gain importance.

ColdplayingfromKansas Posted October 2, 2011 Share Posted October 2, 2011 ^ As I recall, didn't the Coldplay employees at EMI think the song was 'too weird' for single material? . . . There's so much irony in that, considering that Viva was one of the most successful songs of the decade :laugh4: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unquestionably one of Martin's best lyrical works, one of his greatest melodies. What's cheap about it? Well I agree that Viva is brilliant, but I was facetiously referring to the singalongs in those hits "oohohohoh", "yeahhhh", and "paraparparparpar." Charlie Brown doesn't have a chant. It barely has a chorus. Besides its catchy guitar line, it doesn't have the marks of a radio/crowd-pleaser hit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dannyrobertsonviva Posted October 16, 2011 Share Posted October 16, 2011 I would need to hear the studio version first.......still my fav new one :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coldplaying@Hogwarts Posted October 20, 2011 Share Posted October 20, 2011 For me, CB is tied with VLV and Fix You as Coldplay's best song. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coldplay770 Posted October 21, 2011 Share Posted October 21, 2011 Charlie Brown is definitely one of their best songs, as is Don't Let It Break Your Heart IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Our Escape Posted October 21, 2011 Share Posted October 21, 2011 So this song come from: -Chris' scooter getting stolen and him wondering about the journey it took after -Chris spending time in a dollhouse with his daughter -Guy and Chris wondering what it would be like to be a cartoon -Charlie Brown And I swear the music video for this better be animated peanuts style and end with Chris and Linus doing a paino duet.
