Love this song ;)

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...

^ 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.

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.

SO BEAUTIFULX

it's a kind of Death and all his friends but at a higher level! beautiful!!!

 

My thoughts exactly!

I think it could have gone further, I was left slightly cold when I first heard it, but it's still an amazing song.

^ 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.

This song needs a music video.

Up With The Birds is one of my favorites, still. The final three tracks make the album.

I don't know if i've ever heard a song caputre the feeling of closure and moving on any better than UWTB.

I agree with you.

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 !

exactly how i feel!! although im rowing around the world!

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.

I can only agree!! the song sure is special!

Why is this song so perfect?

i was talking to my friend about old times and how life will never be the same. When Chris said, "And then im up with the birds", I nearly teared up. Then the second part, i just imploded.

I cant get over this song! Ridiculous!

Yup,the best song of the album.

 

if the whole album was like this then it would be there best album.

 

 

its such a beautiful song! cant stop listening to it

might have to go where they don't know my name float all over the world just to seeee her again and the good things are coming our way part makes my day

What a pity they don't play it live :confused:

I love it. Can't stop playing it, amazing! :D

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.
