April 10, 201511 yr Does anybody know how the song was written, where it was recorded, production details or any other interesting facts about the song?
April 11, 201511 yr Yes, I know one. It's the best song they've made. But seriously, I'd love to know some as well. I have a very hard time understanding how it didn't make the final cut. Like, I genuinely don't get it. I'm sure one of us could eventually ask The Oracle, but she'd only reply with a bitchy tone. :sad:
April 11, 201511 yr Times like this, I wish the Coldplaying wiki was back. I bit OT but Crests of Waves was another LP2 era song that just missed the cut. Apparently Guy was a big supporter of it.
April 12, 201511 yr Listen this version: [video=youtube;a0GdMftV2oc]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a0GdMftV2oc
April 12, 201511 yr I would have put I Ran Away and Crests Of Waves in the tracklist instead of Daylight and A Whisper.
April 12, 201511 yr I would have put I Ran Away and Crests Of Waves in the tracklist instead of Daylight and A Whisper. While I agree, I would say that Daylight and A Whisper are 2 of the most underrated songs in Coldplay's library. They're a bit more 'out there' in terms of style but, iunno, they aren't as bad as ppl make out to be.
April 12, 201511 yr ^ I also like them, but not as much as other ones. It's just that I prefer the other two. To me those b-sides are masterpieces. It happens the same with Things I Don't Understand and The World Turned Upside Down in the X&Y era.
April 12, 201511 yr Daylight is pretty cool, especially live. A Whisper I would just cut out and not have in AROBTTH for the sake of a more concise album. On topic though, I Ran Away is quite fantastic but perhaps its lyrics were too personal in a way that was no longer relevant to LP2? I think AROBTTH ended up half-being about things other than a love interest if you look at songs like Clocks, AROBTTH, Amsterdam, GPASUYF, Politik, etc.
April 17, 201511 yr This would be a great time for everybody to chime in on the Would You Change the Tracklists thread...:D
