I ran away Posted December 4, 2015 Share Posted December 4, 2015 This thread is a sister-thread to the hugely popular Oldplaying thread (to be found here: www.coldplaying.com/forum/index.php?threads/the-ultimate-oldplaying-thread-s-bs-tbr-p-arobtth-x-y-vlv.104785/). We Oldplayers all know that Coldplay have musically moved far from their original sound and style and most of us just cannot connect as well to their newer music. So the purpose of this thread is to collect songs and music from the wide world of music out there that you believe may appeal to other Oldplayers ! Does it sound like early Coldplay to your ears ? Or perhaps, does it touch on similar themes ? Might it even have the slight melancholic but at the same time warm and hopeful vibe that was so characteristic to early Coldplay ? In short, do you believe someone who loves Oldplay might like it ? Then post it here ! If possible, post a YouTube link so that we can listen to it right away. I will begin with two songs that Oldplayers may like: Young The Giant - Garands. Complex layering, great vocals and a verse melody resembling the one in Clocks - in short, reminiscent of AROBTTH Era Coldplay. Family Of The Year - Hero. Beautifully melancholic and folky - slightly reminiscent of Parachutes Era Coldplay. I hope you will enjoy the thread and we will discover many beautiful songs together ! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NativeGirl Posted December 4, 2015 Share Posted December 4, 2015 I love this band called A Silent Film. Theyre British and they very much sound like early Coldplay 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Adversary Posted December 4, 2015 Share Posted December 4, 2015 Can't beat a bit of Travis when you have the Oldplay blues. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AMDB9 Posted December 4, 2015 Share Posted December 4, 2015 Is this your "high up above or down below" project? I don't think it is.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColdplayingfromKansas Posted December 4, 2015 Share Posted December 4, 2015 I've been trying to find this song for years!! Thank you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColdplayingfromKansas Posted December 4, 2015 Share Posted December 4, 2015 One of my all-time favorite songs, period. An epic 9.5-minute piano ballad that is honestly on par with greats like The Scientist Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Adversary Posted December 4, 2015 Share Posted December 4, 2015 ^^Yesssssss. This next one is honestly the best Coldplay song Chris never got around to writing.... You're welcome. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UPW8y6woTBI Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I ran away Posted December 4, 2015 Author Share Posted December 4, 2015 Is this your "high up above or down below" project? I don't think it is.... No, it isn't. That one is something completely different, which needs much, much more preparation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest kmm1482 Posted December 4, 2015 Share Posted December 4, 2015 Any Bloc Party 'Silent Alarm' love in here? :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mayrn43 Posted December 4, 2015 Share Posted December 4, 2015 Any Bloc Party 'Silent Alarm' love in here? :) Yessss!!!! What a debut that was. Have never heard anything as fresh and energetic. The new Bloc Party is sadly quite the opposite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anthamic Posted December 4, 2015 Share Posted December 4, 2015 Too lazy to post a link on mobile, so... Oasis! But I think almost every ©oldplayer knows them, so I'll post some others when I have time. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A Weekend in the City was decent no where near as good as SA. You're right, they're almost unrecognizable now. (Sounds familiar) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NativeGirl Posted December 4, 2015 Share Posted December 4, 2015 A song that describes Oldplayers: Haha. I just assumed we all loved Keane! But have a listen to A Silent Film, you all. They're the band I'm always promoting even though I'm not their manager lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
