October 26, 20169 yr Ok. You never gonna believe this but: A famous Belgian is related to a woman who is related to a woman who has created something that is related to a Coldplay song. [emoji1]
October 26, 20169 yr Ok. You never gonna believe this but: A famous Belgian is related to a woman who is related to a woman who has created something that is related to a Coldplay song. [emoji1] remember this? : *opens thread* *reads new riddle* *gasps* *closes thread as quick a she can* well -- :escaping::lol:
October 27, 20169 yr remember this? : well -- :escaping::lol: As the other famous Belgian says: You will have to use the little grey cells. [emoji1]
October 27, 20169 yr As the other famous Belgian says: You will have to use the little grey cells. [emoji1] Great, now at least we can exclude Hercule Poirot :D Honestly I don't even know where to start. Have looked up some famous Belgians but all dead ends so far. The fact that this Belgian is not once, but twice removed from a thing related to a Coldplay song makes it particularly difficult.
October 27, 20169 yr maybe we can narrow it down this way: @Nie, is "related" here meaning in a family sense or just that these people have something to do with each other? this was tripping me up in the Poirot riddle until i realized it didn't have to mean related by blood/marriage :P
October 28, 20169 yr Don't look to far. [emoji4] "The other" = who we know by now. Oh, and the Pope has nothing to do with it. [emoji14]

They are not family in blood and not married. But they know each other very well [emoji6]
October 30, 20169 yr Did this person create something more visual or musical? I'm not sure which person you are referring to. Is it Pilar Zeta? We are looking for a song. You will have to start from the beginning and give me all the names and reasonings. :p A famous Belgian is related to a woman who is related to a woman who has created something that is related to a Coldplay song. I will help you on the way with Person 1: A famous Belgian = Person 1 - As the other famous Belgian says: You will have to use the little grey cells (Find out who that quote is from and find the other one) - "The other" = who we know by now --> you can find the answer "a few" pages ago - not fiction Person 1 is related to a woman = Person 2 Person 2 is related to an other woman = Person 3 who has created "something". That "something" is related to a Coldplay song = ? So, give me the answers for: Person 1 Person 2 Person 3 and ? Related = in a way that they are not family in blood and are not married, but know each other very well. :) (Wikipedia can be useful)
October 30, 20169 yr I think I know who the famous Belgian is ! It must be Nie...famous for making unsolvable riddles :D No seriously, I know that quote is from Poirot. Are you referring to Simenon who we had as a famous Belgian a few pages ago ? I already read up on him but I didn't find anything useful....
October 30, 20169 yr Yes! The famous Belgian is Georges Simenon! Now have a look at the women in his life. Extra tip: she is famous too.
October 30, 20169 yr Yes! The famous Belgian is Georges Simenon! Now have a look at the women in his life. Extra tip: she is famous too. Aaaargh, I already read about him. Do you know he claims he had 10.000 lovers in his life ? I hope we don't have to go through all of them ;) I even read up already about his affair with Josephine Baker, but I didn't find any connection from Josephine Baker to another woman back then. I now read it again more carefully, and she had a relationship with Frida Kahlo ?! Viva La Vida ?
October 30, 20169 yr YES! You have found it. Georges Simenon -> Josephine Baker -> Frida Kahlo -> Viva La Vida I stumbled upon that when I was trying to solve the Poirot riddle but mistakenly started out from Georges Simenon. [emoji4]
October 30, 20169 yr YES! You have found it. Georges Simenon -> Josephine Baker -> Frida Kahlo -> Viva La Vida I stumbled upon that when I was trying to solve the Poirot riddle but mistakenly started out from Georges Simenon. [emoji4] OMG, I would never have thought this riddle actually has a solution and that I'd find it :D And thanks to you I like Simenon somewhat less now, after I read he boasted about having had 10.000 lovers since the age of 13... :inquisitive: Now let me think of a new one :devilish:
October 30, 20169 yr Alright ! The lyrics of a popular version of a song that originated from the country that Coldplay visited for the first time in the current tour contradict a common theme in Coldplay songs, but also have a few lines that are very similar to a Coldplay song; find that song please.
October 30, 20169 yr The country is Peru. El condor pasa is a famous Peruvian song and covered by Simon and Garfunkel. The lyrics have these lines: I'd rather be a sparrow than a snail Yes I would, if I could, I surely would I'd rather be a hammer than a nail Yes I would, if I only could, I surely would … I'd rather be a forest than a street Yes, I would If I could I surely would I'd rather feel the earth beneath my feet Yes, I would If I only could I surely would You said "a few lines" so my guess is: Moses (And oh, oh yes I would If I only could And you know I would) The other lines make me think of ETIAW ( I'd rather be a comma than a full stop)

Yes to everything except the line that contradicts a common theme in Coldplay songs was "I'd rather feel the earth beneath my feet", which I thought sounds like the opposite of the Coldplay theme of feet not touching the ground. Your turn again :D
October 30, 20169 yr I was just editing my answer with those lines. [emoji4] And I was lucky to have bumped at the right song immediately. Let me dig up one I had already ready. [emoji14]
October 30, 20169 yr As you know Up&Up has a lot of guest performers... There is an other one where 1 of those performers is featuring too, but not as a singer (that I know of). Give me the song (and the reasoning).
October 30, 20169 yr No. And that person is really participating. And off course not a band member, not even the 5th. [emoji4]
