turin990 Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 I love it. They're being really brave with this big change, even though they have so many people to please. Coldplay have balls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue Nails Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 I'm not sure about this one. On first listen, I liked Another's Arms better. I think it's a bit flat but maybe I should give it more time. I'm not going to listen again though. I want the album to sound fresh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christa42 Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 I loved that they opened with this at the festival and I love that it is simple. It's def my Fav song of the new album so far Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cobalt Posted March 14, 2014 Share Posted March 14, 2014 I don't mind it, it's not horrible. Not spectacular either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aby_coldheart104 Posted March 14, 2014 Share Posted March 14, 2014 Unlike the other three songs, this is the one I heard the least and don't immediately play on repeat. I don't know but I'm gonna go with Cobalt on this one. :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LARD Posted March 14, 2014 Share Posted March 14, 2014 I really like this song as an opener - it definitely has a Rush of Blood album feel to it, whilst also maintaining the relaxed pace and style of the new album. It has a great melody and a very Coldplay sound. I'm really pleased with it, but I do feel it could develop more instead of just ending. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nature Posted March 14, 2014 Share Posted March 14, 2014 Yeah i like this one more then Anothers Arms. It looks like this new LP is all about minimalistic sounds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sirocco Posted March 14, 2014 Share Posted March 14, 2014 i really love the vocal melodies in this track, and when he goes up an octave, very sincere and heart-felt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Batman Posted March 14, 2014 Share Posted March 14, 2014 Okay I've listened to this song for about 1354 times now, non-stop, I really like it now. Some songs I just need to listen several times until I like them :wacky: Can't wait for the studio version of this :dance: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vindelius Posted March 14, 2014 Share Posted March 14, 2014 The ending sounds really weird, as if the song is unfinished. I'll wait for the studio version to really judge this song. The song sounds pretty good, and the lyrics aren't as cheesy as another's arms. However, I like another's arms better overall. Can't wait to hear the studio version of both of these songs.

Totally agree. I didn't think it worked as an opener tho I know they wanted to put a new one out there first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vivalamarcus Posted March 15, 2014 Share Posted March 15, 2014 So I just read an article about how Chris is struggling with living in LA and how he misses his family and friends (Guy, Jonny and Will). So I've come to the conclusion that this song is written about Jonny and how he is always in Chris' head ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jedi Leo Posted March 15, 2014 Share Posted March 15, 2014 Okay I've listened to this song for about 1354 times now, non-stop, I really like it now. Some songs I just need to listen several times until I like them Definitely! The best songs I like now were always slow growers on me. I did like the vibes on both this and Another immediately but the more I listened to them, the more I could appreciate all the nuances (Jonny Jonny! hehe) and now I really really love them :) The ending sounds really weird, as if the song is unfinished. I think the song is too short cuz it´s so good it should be longer hehe But I do like the ending and especially the lyrics in the ending :) May is going to be so good :) OOOOOOOH YES!!!!! I just need a special super duper deluxe edition to be announced so I can throw my money at it! hehe BROMANCE, lolololololol Can´t wait to see the bromance evolve in the new tour hehe :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zj23 Posted March 15, 2014 Share Posted March 15, 2014 Felt incomplete. Ending the song with the lyrics "to tell you your're chosen" didn't come off good at all. I hope the album has more for it I love the music. I do wish Will did more, though. All of these songs make it seem like Will is holding back on so much. Part of the reason why I'm usually so adamantly against electronic drumming Lyrics I didn't like as much initially but I do like the first verse a lot more now, it grew on me. Especially after Another's Arms. I hope this is just a preview of an excerpt of this song, because it feels very unfinished. I appreciate the attempts to be mellower this time around, but I feel they do need some major crescendos where a few songs explode on this album or it might end up rather flat.

Durk Posted March 15, 2014 Share Posted March 15, 2014 It did feel like Will was holding back. I kept waiting for a snare beat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColdplayBlop Posted March 15, 2014 Share Posted March 15, 2014 I really like this song, simple and beautiful. I don't think it's in the same league as Viva La Vida or Rush of the Blood to the head but sweet and great to listen to nonetheless. I can see why people may have a problem with the lyrics, they're rather simple but I find them in the same league as a song like Yellow. Simple, gets to the point and really more is about just being a soothing listen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanielRobertHiggins Posted March 16, 2014 Share Posted March 16, 2014 I'm actually surprised to see such a response to this song. Personally, I fell in love with Always In My Head the first time I listed to it. One of my favourite Coldplay songs now actually. I like Another's Arms as well but not nearly as much.

42rock89 Posted March 16, 2014 Share Posted March 16, 2014 I wasn't that keen on this song when I first heard it but the more I listen, I absolutely love it! Such a beautiful song, trying to stop myself from getting sick of it already! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
