Jedi Leo Posted September 14, 2011 Share Posted September 14, 2011 Coldplay is walking side by side with the world's new era...like more than ever people are turned into new philosophies of life inspired on isoteric issues....etc For myself I'm totally into their new style, I cheerish them for the audacy even knowing they would lost fans from old times...but a change is needed, they couldn't keep as mainstream / alternative style for various reasons: their life now is totally different when they began their career, and if they kept the same as before they would develop their creative side either. Cheers for Paradise and Mylo Xyloto! :) Cheers ! These are exciting times :dance: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MX&Yellow Posted September 14, 2011 Share Posted September 14, 2011 Most people are never satisfied... whatever you do : - If things doesn't change : they are not glad. - If things change : they are not glad. That's how it sadly is... But well, I'm PLEASED, SURPRISED and NEVER desappointed :) MERCI & AMEN ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maria77 Posted September 14, 2011 Share Posted September 14, 2011 please another post Actually I had a typo there, I wanted to say: and if they kept the same as before they WOULDN'T develop their creative side either. And I can also add, that the colors, the grafitties are welcome we need these optimism in life! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maria77 Posted September 14, 2011 Share Posted September 14, 2011 This! I don't want to be all cliche and go 'I feel like this song was written for me', but... I feel like this song was written for me. (I'm not gonna post my personal story here, but you'd agree if I did.) Someone said the lyrics are simple because they're written from the young girl's perspective, I realized that too. A cheesy line like 'life goes on, it gets so heavy' totally fits the way she thinks, or what her friends and parents told her. Paradise doesn't exist (at least not in life on earth), so it's naive to dream about it and so the lyrics are naive. She's not being smart, so the lyrics aren't smart. Still not good lyrics, but they do fit the story. Even the para-para-paradise part, you could interpret like the girl not being able to 'describe' paradise properly. She dreams about a perfect life, but doesn't know what that exactly looks like and she isn't able to make it happen. So she hesitantly decides to just call it 'paradise', but she never gets there. (This may be a little far-fetched, but I like the idea.) As for the overproduction, it's very slick and made 'perfect', again because it's about paradise - a perfect place. They used loads of strings, synths and heavenly choirs, a warm and welcoming sound, just like paradise would be warm and welcoming. It's so clever, the production totally fits the context, just like Major Minus. I can't believe it. Yesterday I just liked it and was worried like everyone else, but it has grown on me so much. So far my epiphany. :escaping2: Edit: Btw, I love how the board has it's positive vibe back. Thanks for that everyone :kiss: Very good point of view. Coldplay have this quality of writting lyrics that fit into our lives. It's normal for you to identify yourself with the meaning of the song. It happens to me all the time. ;) And yes, the instrumental sound is so rich that makes the song so enjoyable to listen in my opinion, specially the violine sound...

Cheese Nip 2 Posted September 15, 2011 Share Posted September 15, 2011 ^ That's what's so great about Coldplay's lyrics. They paint a picture of abstract emotion. MX Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mackplay Posted September 15, 2011 Share Posted September 15, 2011 This thread makes me so happy. The minority that hates Paradise is more vocal than the majority that loves it (The polls are in our favor). Or is it that the Paradise lovers are too busy listening to it on repeat all day (just like me)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kittybitty Posted September 15, 2011 Share Posted September 15, 2011 At first I was like, "huh?" when I heard it. But after listening to it on headphones many times I am converted. Chris and his catchy melodies strike again. Can't wait for the rest of the album. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jedi Leo Posted September 15, 2011 Share Posted September 15, 2011 I am taking a pause from Paradise today: I am afraid I will grow tired of it if I keep playing it :) But I think it´s gonna sound amazing on the album between HLH and CB! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
isrlns Posted September 15, 2011 Share Posted September 15, 2011 I just don't understand those complaining about it being too repetitive. It looks like no one listened to Everything's Not Lost (probably one of the best songs on Parachutes)... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue Nails Posted September 15, 2011 Share Posted September 15, 2011 ^ Because ENL has better (= deeper and more original) lyrics and isn't so highly produced, so repetition is 'allowed' on that one. I have a question. Are there any people who really love this song and don't like ETIAW? Because Paradise is growing to be my favourite of all the new songs (yes I'm serious) and ETIAW is by far my least favourite. Is that weird?

Blue Nails Posted September 15, 2011 Share Posted September 15, 2011 ^ Well I think it's weird because ETIAW is the same direction as Paradise. And I don't like the new direction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don´t think it´s weird because even though both songs contain synths and electronic sounds, the melodies are quite different and the moods of the songs as well.

bdevil89 Posted September 15, 2011 Share Posted September 15, 2011 love both songs - i'll admit took about 2 to 3 listens before i was hooked and amazed how awesome the new sound is - it's like their maturing beyond just simple acoustic and basic instruments. Paradise with a good pair of headphones on transports you to another realm or just a higher sense of feeling/being. Can't wait to hear it live - I think it's equally worthy to Viva La Vida after digesting it for a few days - it's epic, it's got that catchy hook, and that synth fuzz bass dropping out of nowhere just blasts the song into the stratosphere after the ethereal enoxification and dav rossi strings intros the song - God, these guys are getting better and better. ETIAW is amazing too - love jonny's riff, the melody, the lyrics, and overall buildup... two amazing songs and more to come... can't wait. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

isrlns Posted September 15, 2011 Share Posted September 15, 2011 I'm starting to think that this song is about suicide. I know it sounds fucking ridiculous since the lyrics are so simple you can't find a real meaning at all, but it's what it comes to my mind when I listen to it... I'm always wrong about song meanings, so whatever xD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because Paradise is growing to be my favourite of all the new songs (yes I'm serious) and ETIAW is by far my least favourite. Is that weird? I agree Everything's Not Lost is way better, but I think that what's more deep about the song (and what really makes me feel good when I listen to it) it's the repetitiveness, not the lyrics in the beginning. I was just trying to say that (to me!) it's not a valid argument against the song to say that it's too repetitive. And also, yeah, I prefer Paradise even though people on this forum seem to dislike it (at least some of them, if you see the Polls I think that 70% of people have rated it 6+). But I also think that ETIAW fits really well before Major Minus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it? :thinking: And I agree with you about ENL, but I just think that you can't really compare the two songs, or the lyrics. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
