getithom Posted November 10, 2015 Share Posted November 10, 2015 Reading this makes me think music is supposed to make you happy. Never mind deep feelings or stuff, as long as we can dance to it ???Ā Why do you think every single piece of music is supposed to be dreary and carrying only one emotion? Believe it or not, music is supposed to be what the artist intends it to be. (I know.) Bob Dylan will forever be cherished as one of the greatest poets in modern history, and even though he'll mostly be remembered for his politically-driven songs, do you not think he has songs that are happy and make you want to dance? Of course he does. (God even 'old Coldplay' had plenty of happy songs, but I don't see anyone complaining about those!) Look at Radiohead. Look at Noel Gallagher. Look at Muse. Look at any other artist or musician who does what they do. Why should they be limited to one feeling for the entirety of their life as a musician?

I ran away Posted November 10, 2015 Share Posted November 10, 2015 Upbeat is not the same as dancey. It is often said that "Oldplayers" only want sad songs, but that's not true. We love stuff like Crests of Waves or Viva La Vida. I would say these two songs are upbeat but in a more alternative (CoW) or artistically unique way. AOAL sounds just like any other mainstream dance pop song of the 2010's. I think we feel AOAL is upbeat in a very superficial way. (For me, Viva La Vida is the perfect upbeat/happy song, despite its lyrics) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mayrn43 Posted November 10, 2015 Share Posted November 10, 2015 I have decided to refrain from listening to Adventure of a Lifetime until A Head Full of Dreams is out or whenever it leaks. I don't wanna be sick of AOAL by then...instead I will be excited to hear it again instead of wanting to skip it to get to the next track. I tried to do this with Magic but I didn't have the willpower. I was sick of it for a while...now after a break I love it more than ever. If/when Hymn for the Weekend is released I'll limit myself to five listens. Then, when AHFOD is out, after I hear the complete thing, I'll listen to what I want, when I want :cool: This will be hard because AOAL is such a good song!

joseki Posted November 10, 2015 Share Posted November 10, 2015 This song is so much better than A Sky Full of Stars, I love the way it flows almost no stop without a proper chorus, I get some Daft Punk vibes from it and I really like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

goodmusiclover Posted November 11, 2015 Share Posted November 11, 2015 . . . I'm reading too much into this I know, but in my defense I'm a nerdy English major :awesome: Same here! And no, you're not reading too much into it, I agree with everything you've said.Ā I feel it growing on me. Probably listened to it more than a hundred times today. In all seriousness, how can people do this? I can't listen to a song repeatedly more than 5 times or else I get desensitized and can't appreciate it anymore.

I can't listen to a song repeatedly more than 5 times or else I get desensitized and can't appreciate it anymore.Ā It's not that I'd never get tired of listening to it on repeat. I don't usually do this with new CP songs, and feel the same way as you when other people say they've listened to a song half a million times in three days.Ā But this one really hits the right spot with me. I've been basically addicted to it since it came out. But I'm sure after I get tired of listening to it all the time I'll still love to listen to it occasionally like other good CP songs.

Nature Posted November 15, 2015 Share Posted November 15, 2015 I like this track, it still sounds like a coldplay song to me. Its better then most mainstream music these days, more creative. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EasySuperstition99 Posted November 15, 2015 Share Posted November 15, 2015 Are they ? If yes, was anyone able to reverse engineer the original sound of that Charlie Brown vocal sample ??Ā Yes. It's Chris singing "All the boys, all the girls, all the magic in the world" a bunch of times sped up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
