August 12, 201114 yr Hi all! Let's make a list of all the changes Chris makes when he sings live as opposed to the recorded version. 1. Fix You - the lyrics "could it be worse?" become "what could be worse?". The lyrics "When you're too in love to let it go" become "when you're to in love to let it show". Chris also does melodies with his voice that differ from the recorded version. I love them! Also, in Every Teardrop Is a Waterfall, the line: "Maybe I'm in the black, maybe I'm on my knees, maybe I'm in the gap between the two trapezes" gets quite a long pause after "trapezes" and he doesn't directly follow on to the next line like he does in the recorded version. Why is this? So, what do you make of the live alterations of songs? Are there any changes you love? What about changes you dislike?
August 12, 201114 yr When performing Politik at Lollapalooza last week, Lollapalooza on Friday night A band of brothers, a crowd like this. Of course the crowd went wild. Also, in the Scientist, for a while now he no longer sings Oh take me back to the start. he says , I'm going back to the start. Recently he ended it with I'm going to T in the Park while in Scotland.
