DukeNewcomb Posted July 7, 2014 Share Posted July 7, 2014 I think this tops anything on Ghost Stories to be honest Edit: To add my reasoning - the lyrics are phenomenal, whilst Ghost Stories are just.. meh, words: "It's been a night, such a night, such a long night. Watch myself disappear into the wild side, said "goodbye" to my Hyde side, saw some Jekyll appear..." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heelsrule1988 Posted July 7, 2014 Share Posted July 7, 2014 It's a nice song. But... I can't call it a Coldplay song... Chris's voice is barely distinct. But anyway, it's nice My thoughts exactly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MidnightSpies Posted July 7, 2014 Share Posted July 7, 2014 I think this tops anything on Ghost Stories to be honest Edit: To add my reasoning - the lyrics are phenomenal, whilst Ghost Stories are just.. meh, words Agree!! (except bonus tracks) It's no complex song, but this is (one of) the type of music that I adore. Goosebumps with the first listen. Very pure and honest. incl the lyrics. I just played the song loud on my hifi system... it's absolutely gorgeous, Cat Powers voice is fantastic (didn't know her). Now Im imagening Chris Martins voice singing it.. sigh.. And finally a colab that's not with the most famous (rnb) singer or house producer on the planet! its a little Christmassy don't you think? The piano reminds me of 2000 miles. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grids Posted July 7, 2014 Share Posted July 7, 2014 Does Chris sing in this song? Or just backing vocals? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TraceOddity Posted July 7, 2014 Share Posted July 7, 2014 I'm not a big fan of Cat Power, but I admit she sounds really great on this song. I think musically the arrangements on ghost stories or better, that this is a simple, pure and beautiful piece of music. And yes. It reminds me of 2000 miles to.

42JTR Posted July 7, 2014 Share Posted July 7, 2014 It's a beautiful song but I really miss Chris in this one. If Chris sang more, I think I would be addicted and a lot of Coldplayers with me, It's a mix of Up With The Birds and O (Fly On). But I'm not really loving it. Sorry Cat Power. (Although the piano and all the background noises are definitely Coldplay) Edit: It also sounds a bit christmas-y lol xD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nev72 Posted July 7, 2014 Share Posted July 7, 2014 Meh, it's a nice, but entirely forgettable song. Probably won't listen to it again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coeurli Posted July 7, 2014 Share Posted July 7, 2014 Absolutely lovely song!!! :wacky: However as a Coldplay fan I'm biased and a sucker for Chris' voice so I wish we could hear a version with Chris instead of Cat Power (who has a very beautiful voice, I think, by the way!).

BookLover715 Posted July 7, 2014 Share Posted July 7, 2014 Hmm, not bad. Could definitely use more Chris though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuckinParadise Posted July 7, 2014 Share Posted July 7, 2014 "Chris had the idea that it would be sung by a woman. Genius because the film is about a strong woman becoming the matriarch of her family." Quote Zach Braff... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Philosopher Posted July 7, 2014 Share Posted July 7, 2014 I think the best part is when Chris sings the "Uuuuuuu uuuuuu uuuuuuuuu uuuuuuuuuuuu uuuuuuuuuuuu uuuuuuuuuuu uuuuuuuuuuuu...". He has such a great quality to do that kind of things, including the "Ohhhhh ohhhhhhhhh ohhhhhhh..." of all their songs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blue Nails Posted July 7, 2014 Share Posted July 7, 2014 I like the song but I actually wish he'd quit the uuuuu uuuu things. It's getting tiresome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corkus Posted July 7, 2014 Share Posted July 7, 2014 As an actual Cat Power fan, I think this is pretty standard fare for both artists. (I also am just principally against this movie, as even though I like Zach Braff, he is responsible for Garden State, which bred an entire generation of self-proclaimed "sentimental" teenagers who wet themselves over embarrassing cliches and think listening to bubblegum pop makes them "indie".)

squibby92 Posted July 7, 2014 Share Posted July 7, 2014 Has the Coldplay sound all over it but it's a Cat Power song with backing vocals from Chris, it's a lovely and delicate song, I like it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grids Posted July 7, 2014 Share Posted July 7, 2014 Just listened to it. It's alright, it's not the best song but good for movie soundtrack :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Haruka Posted July 7, 2014 Share Posted July 7, 2014 Except from the melody, I don't see much of Coldplay here and Chris' voice is barely audible :confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mayrn43 Posted July 7, 2014 Share Posted July 7, 2014 If it was just Chris singing the whole thing i would like it a whole lot more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IneedYou23 Posted July 7, 2014 Share Posted July 7, 2014 I quite like it. The ambiance and the piano remind me of the AROBTTH days for some reason. Nice lyrics too. Didn't expect much Chris on the song to begin with but knowing that he pretty much wrote this song, doing backing vocals, and is playing piano is good enough for me!

trinest Posted July 8, 2014 Share Posted July 8, 2014 The backing music sounds sort of like the start of ASFOS, like you could easily listen to this then Ghost music. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
