September 13, 201114 yr I meant you could sing over them or something like that :) But yeah hard to like this song if you prefer a more stripped-down style, I can see why it would sound confusing. I don't prefer a more stripped-down style. I love so much other Coldplay songs rich of sound...
September 13, 201114 yr When I heard the song for the first time I was so dissapointed... but now it's growing on me :thinking:
September 14, 201114 yr I think that the tolerance for the song after multiple listens that grew was the result of my body going into a "survival mode" of sorts. lol jk i still can't stand it
September 14, 201114 yr The chords aren't bad, but I hate the way the music was arranged. That electronic sound sounds forced to me, sounds like want more airplay. And the para-para thing is ridiculous, I can't believe they couldn't find lyrics for the chorus.
September 14, 201114 yr Yeah, it has grown on me. Actually I can't get the melody out of my head, and the Para para part is literally jammed in my brain and I can't get rid of it. Say what you will about the song, but it is catchy as hell. Probably why it is the single. ^This. I didn't hate the song when I first listened it, but I was displeased. It doesn't have the same emotional impact Coldplay songs have on me, even ETIAW did. It sounded way to tech-y too (sorry for the poor description). But tonight, I blasted it in my car driving home from rehearsal and it sounded great. I love the bass, and the chorus is pretty catchy. I'm still singing "It could be paradise" in my head. However, I don't think it has the same emotional spark that most Coldplay songs are like, and another thing I noticed, I don't think it suits Chris Martin's voice very well. I love his voice and all but I think he's capable of a more dynamic range, and there should be some sort of cool music riff playing in the background when he sings the verses. Overall, not Coldplay at it's best. But it's very catchy and will most likely to be pleasing to a radio audience. However, I think Charlie Brown will overthrow that. ;)
September 14, 201114 yr its grown on me, but i still think its the 'cemeteries of london' or 'yes' of mx compared to viva. not single worthy
September 14, 201114 yr firstly, i never hated it and i don't think many people hated it, they just disliked it. I disliked it from the start and after a day and a half of trying to like it, i still can't. it just has no......passion or there's something missing. the only part i like is when chris sings "in the night, the stormy night".........those few seconds are good but i don't like the rest of the song
September 14, 201114 yr Yes it grew on me, I really like it now! :D I gave it a break I only heard it 3 times the day it came out, then I heard it today while in my art class, and thought hey, I really like this! I didn't completely hate it at first, but I wasn't happy with it either, now that I like it, im looking forward to the video, and Mylo Xyloto :D

I find that when you force yourself to like it, the more you wont like it. Try to hear it with an open mind. I also like that part, oh and you don't like jonny's part towards the end? I think its great :D Haha yesterday, I did not see myself defending paradise at all, and today I am :P
September 14, 201114 yr It's hilarious to read the various proposals on methods to try to love the song. - Give it a break and ignore it for a few days... - Change the lyrics para-para-para oooooh on your mind... - Hear it with an open mind... The thread should be entitled "Methods to help you listen to paradise"! :lol:
September 14, 201114 yr or on youtube: - Try to ignore the 'pop' part and then enjoy the real music! - Show you're a real fan of Coldplay and LOVE ALL THEIR MATERIAL Hm, I am still waiting and still listening to the song hoping that it will hit me and I will love it. Hasn't happened yet, but it's Coldplay so I want to try. And it is for sure hell of a catchy song.
September 14, 201114 yr Yes, but it would be a lot better if it had been a 'smaller' song. There's a terrific song in there, but the production is too much, I feel.
September 14, 201114 yr Yep Wasn't overly impressed first listen. Was a bit disappointed to be honest, although more initial appeal to me than ETIAW had! Have to admit now that Paradise is growing on me and when I least expect it, that chorus is running through my head...whether I want it to or not! Catchy as hell. Bring on Mylo Xyloto!:P
September 14, 201114 yr Yes, but it would be a lot better if it had been a 'smaller' song. There's a terrific song in there, but the production is too much, I feel. I like that it´s so sumptuous: it´s just unabashedly sweeping with such exuberance in the last part.
September 14, 201114 yr No, I cannot bring myself to listen to it voluntarily, heard it twice at the radio yesterday and it made me shiver in a bad way..but I love the piano cover, so that will be the real Paradise for me

I hear this point of view often, even though I can not relate to it. I can not think of a song I dislike because of other reasons than a melody I don´t like...I guess it all comes down to what you focus on in a song
