May 25, 201511 yr I think this song is going to be in LP7 but not with the same lyrics of course I hope they do something like 'Closer to Home' as well.... ....ahhhhh who am I kidding it's gonna be brilliant and I just want it NOW...now now now now now now now now now....[emoji93]
May 25, 201511 yr Author That's because the recording of X&Y happened TEN years ago and Chris got old, and so his vocal chords. Yes but even in the Mylo Xyloto his voice like in X&Y and another albums.. The same voice... Just in Ghosts storing his voice changed...
May 25, 201511 yr Great to hear something fresh from Coldplay, (and did this song remind anyone of a Beatles song btw, esp. the first line ? For me, it did !) but you know what I don't like about this song ? - Chris's voice, to my ears as irritating as in Ghost Stories and parts of MX. Where did the clarity and beauty go to ? Thought a singer's voice might change when he gets to his fifties or something, but not so much between 31 (VLVODAAHF) and 37/38 (GS and this)...? I wonder if his vocal chords have been too strained and are now damaged for good. - Until GS, Coldplay had great, great melodies in their songs - think of the ones of X&Y or VLVODAAHF, for example ! Now most of the songs just seem to "float" on without a strong melody, and this one, again, is no exception. Though hope remains that they'll keep better melodies for LP7. I know this is just a personal song for somebody and not an album song etc., but still....when i hear GS, Miracles and then this new stuff I can't help the feeling that Coldplay as we used to know them are gone forever. (What I do like very much though: real drums, and there's a Parachutes-like vibe to the song, yeah :parachutes:)
May 26, 201511 yr In my opinion, chris's voice hasn't changed at all. The lyrics certainly have though.
May 26, 201511 yr They need more complex lyrics about life like they did with x&y. Sure the lyrics are weird, but they make me happy.
May 26, 201511 yr We probably shouldn't be judging Chris's musical abilities based on a joke-y song that was likely recorded in half an hour though?
May 26, 201511 yr Also this song was written specially for this I think so that's why it doesn't have a melody (?)
May 27, 201511 yr We probably shouldn't be judging Chris's musical abilities based on a joke-y song that was likely recorded in half an hour though? reasonable people are not welcomed here!
May 27, 201511 yr What a song! :dazzled: Man, if that's what they come up with now for a simple goodbye song, I can't wait to hear LP7! :awesome: Whether it's an old tune that was just hiding there at the bottom of a box in the Bakery/deep in the abysses of a hard drive, or completely new material, this just reminds us how brilliant Coldplay are at ballads. They just get it, you know? :wacky:
