ISawSparks06 Posted October 19, 2011 Share Posted October 19, 2011 When I first heard the snippet of the studio version of Charlie Brown in the Sky Advert's, I thought it was going to quite possibly be might favorite Coldplay song of all time. I heard the studio version, I was pretty disappointed. It almost sounds better in the advert!...Or maybe I just had to high of expectations. Anyway, it's a good song, just not the epic that I thought it would be! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caroline Posted October 19, 2011 Share Posted October 19, 2011 I agree with you. It feels like Chris sings more slowly on record than live. I actually prefer the live version now. I've found Hurts Like Heaven to be favored over Charlie Brown. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Duke Posted October 19, 2011 Share Posted October 19, 2011 No, studio and live are absolute greatness for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Connor!42!

Major_Love Posted October 20, 2011 Share Posted October 20, 2011 For me the actual studio version is much better than the sky advert version. Nevertheless I can't get your points because a upbeat rock song like Charlie Brown works always better with a crowd because it seems like the song has more energy. Its like Clocks live or on the studio version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wheeler97 Posted October 20, 2011 Share Posted October 20, 2011 I totally disagree with you. I think the somg has lived up to most people's expectations. I believe this could turn out to be the best song on the album, and maybe, just maybe, the best song of all time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's why the VLV performances from the awards shows back then don't even touch the concert versions. I'm actually a little surprised at how well they pulled the studio version off.

LetsTalk212 Posted October 21, 2011 Share Posted October 21, 2011 I listened to the iTunes version of Charlie Brown yesterday. It sounds exactly like the leak. I don't know where you guys are hearing something different. It is exactly the same as the Sky One Advert as well, no difference whatsoever.

I have to say unfortunately I agree..it didn't live up to my expectations...Chris' voice is kinda...like he was sleepy or something...meh production... So much better live...

vreza Posted October 23, 2011 Share Posted October 23, 2011 the studio version is way too tame, vocal-wise and bass-wise, or i dont know, its just missing something i couldnt quite put my finger on. it's like Chris was sitting down while taking the vocals. or maybe its the mixing. i dunno, i prefer the live version, the iTunes live version to be exact (jump! jump! jump!)

Sleep Posted October 23, 2011 Share Posted October 23, 2011 This part is not as epic in the studio version. Listen to that. That part would have been the best part on all of MX but on the studio version it's so weak. Why wouldn't they make it sound massive like the live version?

vreza Posted October 24, 2011 Share Posted October 24, 2011 @Sleep ur so right. i hope there will be another mix of Charlie Brown in an EP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bedtime83 Posted October 25, 2011 Share Posted October 25, 2011 Yes, Im also disapointed and it's probably my own fault for listening to the live version so much. Heres what I thought sounded better live... The guitar at the beginning. Its really quiet on the studio version! The way he sings some of the lines especially "I stole a key" His vocals in general, I prefered them on the live version Saying that, its still a great song, and probably my favourite on the album Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phrames Posted October 25, 2011 Share Posted October 25, 2011 I love the way he songs "stole the key" but what really bugs me is that it seems he´s a bit tooo early when singin (cartoon)"heart"... its not exactly in time... but maybe its because I´m used to the live-version... but all in all its a great great song... live and studio!! making the chorus NOT start epic isnt the worst idea for a change! I quite like that! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That part would have been the best part on all of MX but on the studio version it's so weak. Why wouldn't they make it sound massive like the live version? Urrrrrrrrgh this is SO spot on. The reason is that there's no bass in the "chorus" in the studio version, which makes it sound incredibly tame at the song's climax. On the hand, they do the "all the boys" section very loud and well. And I love the string fluorish in the end. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
