nvdmm Posted December 12, 2014 Share Posted December 12, 2014 I think its well known I'm fiercely in favor of the band returning to their older sounds but all I will say is this song is breathtaking. From 1:20 to 1:45 is about the most beautiful music the band has created. The song is absolutely flawless and for me better than anything on GS, apart from Ghost Story (which is their best song since AROBTTH). Coldplay are just masters of creating beautiful songs and once again I'm weak at the knees with Miracles. Just like VLV, I don't WANT the band to sound like this but I'm happy if its the direction they're choosing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sparky Posted December 12, 2014 Share Posted December 12, 2014 I think you've found yourself in the wrong thread. This ain't called the "covers" thread, is it? It's fine on this occasion, its pretty much the first cover, interesting to hear! May wanna start a thread too in the covers section :) I've added some text too, just to state its a cover as the Youtube title doesn't Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonny and the cake Posted December 12, 2014 Share Posted December 12, 2014 Agree that Atlas isn't a cake walk musically. If Atlas is simple, what does that make Clocks, which is considered a Coldplay masterpiece? I think criticism of music and what makes it good or bad is silly. It really comes down to two things -- did you like the sound, and did you like the message? What does it matter if the chords aren't on the level of Chopin's most complex pieces, or that the lyrics aren't the most cunning a poet can write? Painstakingly analyzing music kills music completely. It's amazing how people take something so subjective and then try to apply objectivity to it. Let it go. oh my god i love you! you have the same point of view that i have Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

goodmusiclover Posted December 12, 2014 Share Posted December 12, 2014 Don't want to be too negative but what really puts me off is the "snapping" beat in the beginning. It reminds me more of a contemporary hip-hop track. I just really don't like electronic beats. It's the same thing that bothered me with True Love. I don't know why they decided to use so much electronic percussion since MX. Gladly the snapping stops during the song, which apart from that is quite good.

theprospekt Posted December 13, 2014 Share Posted December 13, 2014 Can anyone hear Charlie Brown as the song fades out in the end? [smoke is rising from the houses] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Perviikka Posted December 13, 2014 Share Posted December 13, 2014 This song is awesome! I love it and in my opinion it's better than any song from GS. Though ghost story gets really close :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HowCouldIForget Posted December 14, 2014 Share Posted December 14, 2014 Can anyone hear Charlie Brown as the song fades out in the end? [smoke is rising from the houses] That's not Charlie Brown my friend, that's Prospekt's March. I was actually thinking the end of the song reminded me of the chorus of PM but much more up beat oh heyyayy (potentially 3 syllables from how he extends hey) I'm floating up above the world now (9 syllables) Here I lie (3 syllables) on my own in a seperate sky (9 syllables) :thinking: strikingly odd similarity for the syllable times not the beginning of PM imo but still we agree on the same song at least. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That sound sounds like the "baby voice" in Charlie Brown (which is actually Chris' voice sped up). [smoke is rising from the houses] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
