Sorry, but this thread is for music appreciation, not for fangirling because of Chris' "hotness".

    Songs like Coloratura and Arabesque frustrate me because they prove Coldplay can still make powerful, boundary-pushing and highly creative music, but they actively choose not to 90% of the time.

    I'm just hoping there's some sort of resemblance to the X&Y sound in LP9. Moving To Mars is a great example of a non-Oldplay song that's like that. It reminds me of What If. But I also want someth

    Yeah it's so weird My Universe and Coloratura are going to be on the same album, I feel like track track 10-12 is going to be very this:

I think a few people may have missed Choldplayer's sarcasm / humour with the "fangurling post" earlier... :P

what a sense of fullness of sound there was in their earlier days :rolleyes:

Gahh, it won't play for me (on phone). What song is it?

Today I listened to "I Ran Away" again, and although I can' put my finger on it something in this sound/atmosphere always takes me to another level every time I listen to it. Some nostalgia and melancholy, a cold winter's day with a blue sky, a departure,....I really can't tell why this particular song makes me feel that way.

Dude I know that feel. I looooove the vocals on this song omg

 

But the song I get the most intense visuals and weird melancholy induced thoughts is "We Never Change". It feels like I'm standing in the middle of a forest with the autumn sun in my face and somewhere in the distance is a nice little wooden house with smoke coming out. But I'm not supposed to go there, because life's heaviness is nagging at my heels and I have to go back and leave this nice calm place.

 

*sighs*

 

 

 

aaaand I'm in that cloud again, DAMN YOU OLDPLAY

Ah! Yes! Incredible early b-sides (although, all of them are incredible)

We Never Change takes me back to a short bus journey in which I appreciated it for the first time. It was winter but the sun was shining and I was returnign home from a work I didn't like and feeling sad, and this song just connected with me in that moment. Especially the part where Chris says "We never change, do weeeeee" (where he raises his voica at the end, in the second verse I believe)

 

I've got many of this kind of moments of "connection" with different ©oldplay songs.

I love reading people's moments or little stories they connect with Coldplay's older songs, because I can almost always kind of relate to them in a weird personal way. And yes, that part where his voice goes high like that is freaking beautiful!

 

I wish he could slower and softer songs like this again ;___;

now I feel violated omg

it is not weird at all, we all humans are similar (like blood in vains and emotions and thoughts in the head) and we experiment similar things, that is why it sounds or feels similar and familiar

Anyways, this thread is nice and conveys nice feelings so I'll stick around for eternity :3

Yes, we all have our special Coldplay moments :)

 

Here's another one: The entire AROBTTH album brings me back to an evening when I sat in the university library at the windows on the second floor, working while listening to it (at a time when I had only just begun discovering Coldplay), and watching the summer's day turn into evening, dusk turn into darkness, people chatting below and finally no more voices below and complete darkness (I worked the entire night, it was a 24 hour library) :)

Yellow is the very first song that made me love music and any particular band. Before that, I literally listened to only soundtracks. Nothing spoke to me enough to buy an album of one band. But the raw emotion and earnestness of Yellow wasn't like anything else on the radio. I reluctantly bought Parachutes hoping I wouldn't only love Yellow. It was a quiet, nice Spring night near midnight in my car with the engine off that Parachutes just washed over me and it almost gave me a high feeling. There are very few albums that have made me feel that since.

This is the first time I've looked at this thread and came across the alternative 'Bros. & Sisters' ,on Page 1, and those amazing photos!

What a treat ! Thanks ( belated)

Parachutes is just so "warm". I've never come across another album as "warm" as Parachutes (although AROBTTH follows closely)

Exactly. They were four guys just playing instruments with an "ah gee, I don't know, we just like songs about love, I guess" bashful attitude. Now, it seems like this, "SHIT YEAH! LET'S PARTY AND RAVE AND SING ABOUT BUTTERFLIES AND GETTING A TATTOO! WOOHOO!!"

@I ran away go check the "Guess the Coldplay Song" thread! :)

I really miss the "organic", "warm", "full" sound of their early years. When you could still hear the screeching of fingers on guitar strings or the exhaling of Chris on Warning Sign :) Now everything feels so plastic and processed a hundred times through computers... :(

Easy now, that's starting to sound like hate [emoji6][emoji6]

"And give me love over, love over, love over this"
