shred Posted November 7, 2011 Share Posted November 7, 2011 Epic indeed. Though I feel it would be better if the first half of the song was expanded and made into a whole song. The second half is a bit of a let down... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColdplayingfromKansas Posted November 7, 2011 Share Posted November 7, 2011 ^ I agree that the first part is absolutely amazing--nearly on-par with the crescendo of DaAHF where the guys belt it out :wacky:. The second half is good, too, but it can't compare with the first two minutes or so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AmbroseCadwell Posted November 7, 2011 Share Posted November 7, 2011 I think this is actually MX's 'The Escapist' to Don't Let It Break Your Heart's 'Death And All His Friends'- like how on X&Y, Twisted Logic is the big ending song, and 'Til Kingdom Come is after the end. I reckon UWTB could've been a hidden track after DLIBYH if the album had been constructed differently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

QuestionsOfScience Posted November 10, 2011 Share Posted November 10, 2011 I think it could have gone further, I was left slightly cold when I first heard it, but it's still an amazing song. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColdplayingfromKansas Posted November 12, 2011 Share Posted November 12, 2011 ^ It's too short. :nod: And after listening to it 22581271234 times, that's the only reason I continue to like Death And All His Friends more. I was lying in my bed this morning with all the lights off and the third stanza began (but especially the 'Then taking back the punch I threw / My arms turn wings oh those clumsy things . . .') and it just hit me as to how incredibly beautiful this song really is.

Harondor Posted November 14, 2011 Share Posted November 14, 2011 When the second part of the song begins I always have the feeling that I'm on a boat, with the wind in my hear and birds flying high above me ^^ Wonderful song ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Martin04 Posted November 16, 2011 Share Posted November 16, 2011 The end of this song is so uplifting... beginning with the guitar riff, transitioning into the "might have to go..." part, and ending with the great line: "A simple plot, but I know one day, good things are coming our way" I feel like that last line sums up the beauty of Coldplay's music. It recognizes the shit in life and the hard moments but, at the end of the day, there is a sense of uplift and optimism in the face of all these challenges. It's why the band is my all time favorite.

Spider-Man Posted November 24, 2011 Share Posted November 24, 2011 i was talking to my friend about old times and how life will never be the same.

golfing7861 Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 This would be a great song if it didn't have all the weird background noises in the beginning, "UGHHHHHH" and "HMMMMMM"... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
getithom Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 This would be a great song if it didn't have all the weird background noises in the beginning, "UGHHHHHH" and "HMMMMMM"... I like them. It adds to the spacey atmosphere the song has towards the middle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
