[2015-09-24] Chris Martin talk on Global Citizen, NY, USA

Featured Replies

Well Joe Biden is the VP of the US....im not going to get into politics, but as always with leaders, some people like him and some people dont.....but Chris is friends, I guess I would say, with the Bidens because Joe's son, Bo, died earlier this year, and Chris performed at his funeral....

Thanks.

I see. I already knew about that performance (which was beautiful) and that friendship between them. I just thought there was something more behind those two posts, other than personal opinions.

I've come back to this thread today, after all the excitement of the GC concert, because I can't get Christa's 'MOMENT' out of my head.

What happened ? Pleeeeese someone ?????

I remember reading on some website that Chris read from a mystic Rumi poem or something similar...there was even a short audio file there. If that's what Christa meant (I'm not sure), sorry for saying this, but didn't seem very special to me. :/

Mmmmm..... I'm still puzzled. Thanks anyway.

Chris did say jokingly he does yoga in his underpants with Eddie, Eddie looked at him and said, "Chris I do Yoga in my shorts"

 

Thank you so much Christa! I am a yoga teacher and I always wondered if Chris or the other guys do yoga. I have even once asked the Oracle but did not get a reply. Somehow I felt it that Chris does Yoga, but I was not sure. Do you know with which teachers he practices? Is it Eddie Stern or somebody else? Is he into Ashtanga like the rest of the famous lot like Madonna and Sting?

Well not just the Beau Biden performance, also Chris anouncing and lauding Joe Biden at the Global Citizen Festival. I mean come on, this man does nothing against poverty, quite on the contrary. What is he doing at the Global Citizen Festival ?

Thanks for the info Christa...interested to hear about this moment too though I'm currently not listening to Amazing Day. :lol:

Maybe Coldplay will get on board with Bernie Sanders like they did with Obama? *hopeful*

 

I find it more troubling how Coldplay got so close with Apple and Steve Jobs....that's like textbook corporate right there.

Thank you for sharing your story Christa! :kiss:

If you read some of our RT's you can see some of what happened at the lecture

This has still got me hooked....... can't find any other ref. to it anywhere....... please can you tell us more Christa ?

In the RTs I found exactly what I mentioned earlier about the poem recital...

You will see, as I said I can't! It will be worth the wait!

OH well... they say patience is a virtue. :angel:

The Guest House

 

This being human is a guest house.

Every morning a new arrival.

 

A joy, a depression, a meanness,

some momentary awareness comes

As an unexpected visitor.

 

Welcome and entertain them all!

Even if they're a crowd of sorrows,

who violently sweep your house

empty of its furniture,

still treat each guest honorably.

He may be clearing you out

for some new delight.

 

The dark thought, the shame, the malice,

meet them at the door laughing,

and invite them in.

 

Be grateful for whoever comes,

because each has been sent

as a guide from beyond.

and here they are in action.

I might be materialistic or dumb, but I never actually understood any of the Sufi poems! they seem too complicated. I mean, are the poets talking about/to themselves or the person they love or God? I wonder if these poems will influence AHFOD lyrics.

Even though I don't know anything about Sufi, I really love that poem.

Chris then talked about listening to your heart, the heart being a big part of your karma so to speak, when writing a song for an album. He said you have the record companies saying you have to have this big hit and have to the numbers but you have this song that may not have what the record companies want but you know in your heart that this is the song you were meant to write and you write it and it's the right and good and it comes from your core, your apple seed, yes they said apple seed. You having to do what you think is right and positive. This is what I got from it that is, remember I am trying to remember it all. This was really an amazing point in the conversation it really meant a lot to hear from Chris.

 

I'll be back for the big finish in a few!

 

That's why Chris' music is so beautiful. His music comes from the heart, not from greed.

 

I've been wondering why there's too many great Coldplay songs for me to count.

So the first question was by a Neurosurgeon I think, someone that was wayyyyy smarter than me. I have no idea what her question was and I don't think Chris actually knew what it was either. Everyone there were extremely smart and intellectual and I said to myself "this is not the place to ask when the tour is going to start"

 

:lol:

 

So all of these ppl are asking these really important questions and then Chris kind like stops and has the moment. I can't tell you exactly what it was. It was like the world stopped, this light was on him, there was not a sound in the room. No, Seriously, I can't tell you. It was something specific but it will not be fair and you will all find out at some point but I feel like it would be ruined if I told you and my Karma ruined and the Pope is in town and my soul will sent sent straight to hell in a hand basket.

 

Man... everyone keeps keeping the secret! It has to be a very important and huge secret that has to be released at a specific time otherwise there would have been leaks by now. I guess we'll see...

:lol:

Yes ,it's amazing something hasn't been leaked. I just can't stop thinking about it and wondering what it's all about.

Really hope we don't have to wait too long.... for whatever 'IT' is.

Yeah... it's gotta be something the fans who did hear 'IT' understand will be ruined if it gets leaked. It must be something that wouldn't make sense if it were to be leaked before. It gotta be something that wil only make sense if everyone hears about it on a specific day...

This is driving me insane! What could possibly be so incredible that everyone would protect it as a state secret?!

Everyone who has heard it is letting us know that all will become clear. I guess we'll just have to wait for it I guess, and it will all make sense when it does happen...
