Yes !!!!! Another What If Lover! I knew I was not alone !

 

:P didn't you already know that? Remember in the X&Y elimination thread we were talking about it?

It's alright you forgot :P

 

:D

 

That was pure magic. I can't describe it. :P

Ikr ? :D

 

That'd be something else if they played it more often these days... what a song.

^ Especially the not-so-popular ones. There's a lot of gems they play all the time at concerts but they have some real gems that seem to be forgotten more and more as time goes on. :(

Yeah, it is a shame that almost everything from X&Y has been abandoned except Fix You (which is great, but not the only great song there) and Till Kingdom Come (which I don't really like). Square One, White Shadows,Talk, What If, Low, Speed Of Sound are all gems to me.

 

Oh, and I wish they'd play I Ran Away live. Just once in their lifetime. Please. But I know it will never happen.

I actually really like Til Kingdom Come... but that'd be amazzing if they played I Ran Away live. Just once would be amazing. But it won't happen ever unfortunately... :(

They did soundcheck Crests of Waves last year and Bigger Stronger on the MX tour so you never know. ;)

Yeah, the soundcheck of Crest of Waves is promising indeed ! I doubt any of these songs will get any further than a soundcheck though, but then sometimes there are people filming at soundchecks so maybe one day....

Another weak-ish connection but I guess it still works:

 

LiT ii: "On the radio I heard..."

Moving to Mars: "And I heard it on the radio..."

 

There's another connection that I don't think has been made yet that I'll post here but I'll double check to make sure. :P

 

EDIT: I just found out something:

 

Heres one:

LITII: "gravity release me, and don't ever hold me down, now my feet won't touch the ground"

Strawberry swing: "cold cold water, bring me round, now my feet won't touch the ground"

refrence to the song "now my feet won't touch the ground.

 

from the intro of this thread.

 

It was another involving LiT ii... but as it turns out there's two more instances in this song in which the lyrics refer to Now My Feet Won't Touch The Ground.

 

"I could hear it coming

I could hear the sirens sound

Now my feet won't touch the ground"

 

and

 

"I could hear it coming

Like a serenade of sound

Now my feet won't touch the ground"

 

Pretty similar... and I guess the lyrics he posted are more connected to Chris' wanting to fly... :P

All Your Friends

"Ten below

Call comes on the radio"

 

LiTii

"There's a cold war coming

On the radio I heard"

 

MtM

"And I heard it on the radio"

As for the "star" obsession, I wanted to point out that I Ran Away also mentions it twice:

 

A star arose in my cage

I'm stuck in line, and in a cage

Just a single little star

I sing it for

 

(By the way, to me these lyrics have always been very cryptic, except evoking the fact that the narrator feels stuck. Has anyone got a cool interpretation ?)

  • 4 weeks later...

Magic: "Call it magic, call it true"

Adventure of a Lifetime: "Turn your magic on"

  • 2 months later...

Honestly and genuinely surprised no one has got this yet. I listened to Everything's Not Lost/LifL and Trouble shortly after a couple days ago, and I noticed, there's a similar set of lyrics here:

 

Life is for Living

"As my head just aches,

When I think of,

The things that I shouldn't have done."

 

Trouble

"So I turned to run,

The thought of all the stupid things I've done,"

A very, very similar idea, yet worded differently. :)

Maybe that's why no one has got this yet... unless someone has, I can't remember :P

By the way why has this thread died? Pretty sure we haven't ran out of similar lyrics yet...

Hopefully this comment revives it :p

Miracles: ''Believe in miracleeeeeeeees...''

AHFOD: ''Oh I think I landed, where there are miracles at work''

Chris also seems to have an obsession with bubbles in Parachutes.

  • 7 months later...

Midnight: "In the darkness before the dawn'

O (Fly On): "Still I always look up to the sky, pray before the dawn"

Violet Hill: "If you love me won't you let me know?"

Everglow: "So if you love someone you should let them know"

Parachutes: "In a haze, a stormy haze, I'll be round I'll be loving you always"

The World Turned Upside Down: "A little boy lost in a breaking storm"

Paradise: "So lying underneath those stormy skies..."

Midnight: "In the swirling of the storm"

Miracles: "Send your storm and your lightning to strike"

Fun: "An ocean awaits for a storm"

Up & Up: "Underneath a storm an umbrella is saying..."

wow, didn't realize there was a thread for this! I'll try to post some:

 

PART1

 

"Said I'm gonna buy a gun

and start a war

If you can tell me

something worth fighting for" ——AROBTTH

 

"Say my heart is my gun, army of one

Yeah my heart is my gun, army of one

My army of one is going to fight for you

My army of one is going to fall for you" ——AOO

 

(maybe after all these years Chris finally figured out that his heart is his gun, and he has found someone worth fighting for❤)

 

PART2

"You know you know I love you so

You know I love you so" ——Yellow

 

“All I know is that I love you so

So much it hurts” ——Ink

 

“Look at the stars

Look how they shine for you” ——Yellow

 

“I see the stars, begin to shine

I see your colors and I'm dying of thirst” ——Ink

 

PART3

 

“Oh brother I can't believe it's true

I'm so scared about the future and I wanna talk to you

Oh I wanna talk to you” ——Talk

 

"They got one eye watching you

One eye on what you do

So be careful who it is you're talking to" ——Major Minus

 

PART4

 

"Maybe one day I'll fly next to you

Fly on

Maybe one day I can fly with you

Fly on" ——O

 

"We'll be birds flying free

When you fly won't you

Won't you take me too?" ——Birds

 

PART5

 

"When you love someone but it goes to waste

Could it be worse?" ——Fix You

 

"Don't say it was all a waste

Didn't we have fun?" ——Fun

 

(this is my fav part, comparing what he said in Fix You, and how it changed in Fun, it really shows how much this man has grown up, and had a more positive opinion on his life and relationships.)
