viva la justin Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 Out of all the songs we got at the festivals this was the only one I skipped. Hearing it on the album absolutely astonished me, it is so so so beautiful, and atmospheric. It's one of my faves for sure. Does anyone feel the same? I feel like most people loved the live version too. If anyone shares my opinion, what is it about the studio version that makes it (IMO) so much better? For me it's that intro, oh and the vocals sound great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
viva la justin Posted October 17, 2011 Author Share Posted October 17, 2011 PS. This is my first thread ever. I'm giving up my thread starting virginity to UATW, as a metaphoric apology for not liking it at the festivals :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mitch323 Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 It made me cry. The only other Coldplay song to do that was The Scientist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BobW Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 I love it, but it is faster than the live version. Maybe a bit too fast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Major_Love Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 Is there any difference in instruments or so besides the tempo maybe? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedBalloon Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 Reminds me of a bit of When The Ships Come In by Bob Dylan from The Times They Are a-Chaning 64' - "Dylan would say: "I can't really say that adults don't understand young people any more than you can say big fishes don't understand little fishes. I didn't mean "The Times They Are a-Changin'" as a statement... It's a feeling."[4]" from Wiki: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Times_They_Are_a-Changin' Personally, I prefer this style, not so much distraction but a flow of telling in half-reflection.

danieltmiller Posted October 18, 2011 Share Posted October 18, 2011 So good.. though the way Chris says 'world' for the first and last times is kinda scary! :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
icecoldplay Posted October 18, 2011 Share Posted October 18, 2011 Amazing song, and a special treat for those who missed the old sound. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedBalloon Posted October 18, 2011 Share Posted October 18, 2011 You skipped the live version??? Is that towards my Post? I didn't check out Live version - but I think this song is the one which has more linkage to Co.'s old style - which I love, a bit of Leonard Cohen and Bob Dylan, pure and peaceful Country/Folk when the emotional haze has gone rest, like sunset. But to fit it into the context, it has a synth intro/bridge. But, why I always feel the sound effect is not good [i wonder the recording room's space]. The guitar is a bit too vague and set behind.

ColdplayingfromKansas Posted October 18, 2011 Share Posted October 18, 2011 I was one of the few people that didn't like the live version of UAtW at all :P But the studio version blows it out of the water. It's amazing, especially the intro :wacky: Plus, it reminds me a bit of See You Soon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kaisin Posted October 19, 2011 Share Posted October 19, 2011 It made me cry. Same here... i was walking through a park on my way to work after having downloaded the album and when this song came on, i just had to sit down and i started crying a little bit, it's just so beautiful :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeymike89 Posted October 19, 2011 Share Posted October 19, 2011 In full agreement, the recorded version is amazing... (the live one is too imo!). It has elements of songs from Parachutes, but with something sounding more recent in it too... the perfect blend! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coldplayhebe12 Posted October 19, 2011 Share Posted October 19, 2011 YES YES YES YES absolutely... It sounded so boring on the festivals... and I didn't listen to the whole thing. Now I listened to it and it's... fantastic. I love it so much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mamgirl Posted October 19, 2011 Share Posted October 19, 2011 blown away is a good description - I totally agree. I just heard it for the first time and I just had to close my eyes and take it all in. It's beautiful. I have been enjoying the newer sounds of Coldplay, but YES it was great to hear something of the older style. Lovely, lovely song. I had to listen to it again and again.

Blue Room Safety Posted October 22, 2011 Share Posted October 22, 2011 It made me cry THIS!!! I was having a crappy day and then I decided to blast the whole album on my radio for the first time and when this song started playing I simply couldn't hold down the tears. It evokes so much emotion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
