thedrpepper08 Posted August 6, 2011 Share Posted August 6, 2011 Is it just me, or did they add some more... something to Charlie Brown. I noticed it when they performed it on Jimmy Kimmel, and then when I heard their Lollapalooza performance, the song just sounded fuller. Especially during Johnny's hook. It sounds like they added a keyboard or synth sound (sort of like Lovers in Japan?). Anyone else notice that? I LOVE it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InATelescopeLens Posted August 6, 2011 Share Posted August 6, 2011 I noticed it! You can really notice the synthesizers in this one too!

MosesTheMarshmallow Posted August 7, 2011 Share Posted August 7, 2011 They've been doing this since Glastonbury...another poster said it was applying the chorus effect to the guitar, which I agree with. The effect basically takes what is played and replays it on top of what's being played but at minute differences in tune, which makes it sound like one thing is being played (or sung) by a chorus and thusly sound more full. Not technically a backing track so much as it is a clever guitar effect. And yes, it sounds great!!! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FJK_12 Posted August 7, 2011 Share Posted August 7, 2011 On lolla they added a beat in the background of the main guitar riff. Dont know what I prefer... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue Nails Posted August 7, 2011 Share Posted August 7, 2011 Yeah I heard a change in the effects too, the clearest one being Splendour in the Grass (but I haven't heard all). I'm getting so curious for the studio version! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danmets21 Posted August 7, 2011 Share Posted August 7, 2011 I really like the addition of the piano outro, it flows so perfectly into Life is For Living. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackirish23 Posted August 7, 2011 Share Posted August 7, 2011 For some reason I still like the recording from Rock am Ring better than any other version... can't wait for the studio version! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MosesTheMarshmallow Posted August 8, 2011 Share Posted August 8, 2011 there's a piano outro? I'm almost sure that's the piano intro to LIFL. Not the other way round. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hux90 Posted August 8, 2011 Share Posted August 8, 2011 I'm almost sure that's the piano intro to LIFL. Not the other way round. On Jimmy Kimmel, the piano part was included in the CB coverage, making it a probable outro. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Duke Posted August 8, 2011 Share Posted August 8, 2011 On Jimmy Kimmel, the piano part was included in the CB coverage, making it a probable outro. Or he is just so used to doing that in concert that he did it at the end again, or he was so jet lagged he forgot he didn't need to do it. I'm in the "it's the intro for LiFL" camp.

the_escapist Posted August 8, 2011 Share Posted August 8, 2011 I think that CB is going to be the next single. They are giving it too much promotion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

princesanji Posted August 10, 2011 Share Posted August 10, 2011 i've seen/ heard nearly every CB performance and kimmel was one of the worst, because it's lacking bass. that is why you suppose it sounds clear, the bass is missing, and i missed it a lot 'cause the rest (e.g. audibility of the backing tracks ) & quality was pretty good ._. so yes, CB sounded different there.... the best ones are Rock am Ring and Main Square Festival, i think maybe lollapalooza, too, not too sure... and also, i thought the exact same thing until i've seen kimmel - piano = lifl intro; but the moment i heard CB end and ETIAW start, i came to the conclusion that it's a CB outro rather than a lifl intro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skin&Bones Posted August 10, 2011 Share Posted August 10, 2011 ^ I agree. It's the outro. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cleggy Posted August 10, 2011 Share Posted August 10, 2011 In most performances Chris says 'thank you' after finishing Charlie Brown and then waiting 10 seconds or more before playing the next piano part. Doesn't really feel like an outro to Charlie Brown at all. I'm pretty sure it's just something they'll do live to transition into Life is for Living. The fact that they didn't play the piano part at Oxygen probably confirms that it's an intro to Life is for Living. They played Ride On instead of Life is for Living at that gig.

Skin&Bones Posted August 10, 2011 Share Posted August 10, 2011 Curse you Jimmy Kimmel performance for this uncertainty!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bdevil89 Posted August 10, 2011 Share Posted August 10, 2011 it's definitely the intro to Life is for Living, it doesn't sound like it goes with CB at all - there's no uncertainty about it. They recorded it twice for JKL that's why you hear it like that. Again, no piano outro to CB, it's for life is for living, it's like an impromptu intro to the song. I don't understand why some coldplay fans can't reason and think everything is something which it clearly is not... anyway love that life is for living is coming back, such a classic from parachutes. and perhaps in theme for the new album's concept and story.

givelovesolong Posted August 16, 2011 Share Posted August 16, 2011 I am so in love with the backing vocal/track as Chris sings, "...be a cartoon heart". Especially in the iTunes Festival performance -- amazing. Also, absolutely the intro for "Life Is For Living". No doubt about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
