I ran away Posted October 14, 2016 Share Posted October 14, 2016 In fact, the font doesn't seem to be Albertus. Yellow is the first one (checked my vinyls) [emoji4] Correct ! Yellow was the first release on which Coldplay used Albertus as font. (I just love this font, it looks so great ! I think the current one is terrible, it makes the C look especially weird....anyway, that's just my opinion.) Your turn ! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guy42 Posted October 14, 2016 Share Posted October 14, 2016 I was thinking the same thing, but the W in Yellow doesn't look Albertus. Here's what the Albertus font should look like: [ATTACH=full]6170[/ATTACH] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iamsue Posted October 15, 2016 Share Posted October 15, 2016 And he has a Star on his knuckle...A Sky Full of Stars? Not just because of the tat but because of the line about "I don't care if you tear me apart" seems like a bad dream that is the best he ever had because "you're a sky full of stars". And I am a foggy head full of exhaustion and pain right now! Bear with my crazy guesses. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope I didnt make the riddle based on a wrong assumption. They used the Albertus font in it (minus the W) and not in Shiver, so that makes Yellow the first one. Correct ! Yellow was the first release on which Coldplay used Albertus as font. Technically speaking, wasn't the album "Parachutes" the first release with the font? So, my second answer is "Parachutes", the song. :D 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I ran away Posted October 15, 2016 Share Posted October 15, 2016 White Shadows has lots of possible connections - every child should sit and listen, sir and listen / when I was a young boy I tried to listen all around me are familiar faces / swimming on a sea of faces 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I ran away Posted October 15, 2016 Share Posted October 15, 2016 I read the Wikipedia articles in both songs now but I still don't have an idea :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nie Posted October 15, 2016 Share Posted October 15, 2016 I know it is hard to find. [emoji1] I've read about it in an interview and I agreed. Extra clue: original - listen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I ran away Posted October 15, 2016 Share Posted October 15, 2016 So here's the problem - I can't listen to the original by Tears for fears now because I'm on slow mobile internet again and I can'r just go to Youtube. But a little digging told me that according to the big RS portrait in 2005, Chris said WS was inspired by Mad World ! Like I said i can't listen to it right now, but I can only guess the rhythm or something might be similar. Sorry :) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nie Posted October 15, 2016 Share Posted October 15, 2016 I'll grant you the victory. [emoji1] It was indeed in an interview that was stated that the Tears For Fears original was one of the inspirations for WS. And I think a few lines of Mad World can be found in a few other CP songs. [ATTACH=full]6181[/ATTACH] And it was also inspired by Bruce Paltrow. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nie Posted October 15, 2016 Share Posted October 15, 2016 Here is a link to the interview. Interesting to read. And I stumbled upon it when I was looking for an answer for your previous riddle. Chris is going back to where it all started. [emoji6] http://www.rollingstone.com/music/news/coldplays-quiet-storm-20050825 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I ran away Posted October 17, 2016 Share Posted October 17, 2016 I love this thread, I love you all :D The following riddle has many steps and I hope you will enjoy the journey and teamwork. And trust me, it all makes sense and is carefully researched ! Happy mystery-solving :) If you would swear never to say this person's name in the place where Coldplay kicks off their second European tour leg next year, you would already have contradicted yourself. Go to the point where this person first asked instead of answered. Go to the year that carries the same name as that point. That year, one day before the day associated with love, somebody was born. Look at his name and do it before you see things the right way up You will find your way to a phrase that has inspired a line in the Coldplay song we're looking for Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
