Safy Posted November 10, 2015 Share Posted November 10, 2015 haven't seen a thread for this one yet. It is hard to keep up with so many interviews.. Coldplay joined Jo Parkerson in the Green Room to discuss the new album 'A Head Full of Dreams'. Along they way they talk Noel Gallagher's struggles with yoga, Beyonce's not-so-backing vocals, and Chris' mindful approach to life.

goodmusiclover Posted November 11, 2015 Share Posted November 11, 2015 10:14 Seriously? Chris says he has been working harder on the lyrics on the last few albums. :o I guess he should start trying less again. :laugh3: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look at "yellow" it does not have great lyrics too, but it fits with the song, the same goes to AOAL. If the whole album goes like AOAL then I agree with you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the whole album goes like AOAL then I agree with you But Yellow has great lyrics, classic even. "For you I'd bleed myself dry"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gacbrandao Posted November 11, 2015 Share Posted November 11, 2015 Under this pressure. Under this weight.

gacbrandao Posted November 11, 2015 Share Posted November 11, 2015 For the record. I Love the lyrics of yellow, but we must say that is not that creative Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jc90 Posted November 11, 2015 Share Posted November 11, 2015 For me it takes a bit of time to call something 'classic'. Yeah, I'd say Yellow has classic lyrics. But I wouldn't say AofL does, partially because there simply wasn't enough time in between. What i'm getting at is if Yellow were released last Friday instead of AofL, I would be hearing about how its lyrics are 'cheesy' instead of them being classic. For the record, I don't have a have issue with either set of lyrics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Batman Posted November 11, 2015 Share Posted November 11, 2015 Well I'm a melody type of person so I don't care for the lyrics :awesome: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MosesTheMarshmallow Posted November 11, 2015 Share Posted November 11, 2015 But Yellow has great lyrics, classic even. "For you I'd bleed myself dry"? I always found this line a bit melodramatic. The "I wrote a song for you" line in Yellow also irks me because it's so cringingly self-referential. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest howyousawtheworld Posted November 11, 2015 Share Posted November 11, 2015 Best Coldplay lyric I can think of at the moment is: 'People moving all the time inside a perfectly straight line Don't you want to just curve away?' But yeah - I can only say the lyrics have become substantially worse (just look at the lyrics A Sky Full Of Stars....seriously? And then there's 'Once upon a time somebody ran away' :s ) over the last couple of albums so therefore I don't really recognise Chris's efforts sadly.

goodmusiclover Posted November 11, 2015 Share Posted November 11, 2015 I love all the lyrics of the Viva era but these are among my favourites: "When the future's architectured By a carnival of idiots on show You'd better lie low." "People talking without speaking Trying to take what they can get [...] Don't you wish that life could be as simple As fish swimming round in a barrel When you've got the gun?"

KidA Posted November 11, 2015 Share Posted November 11, 2015 Coldplays lyrics are their most consistent weakpoint. Far too many general sentiments expressed with little imagination - there are of course many notable examples, mainly from the Viva era. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
