Guest kmm1482 Posted December 7, 2015 Share Posted December 7, 2015 I don't mean to be mean, but that doesn't sound like Oldplay at all... :D I know. Just as a goof [emoji4] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I ran away Posted December 7, 2015 Author Share Posted December 7, 2015 This one doesn't need an introduction: Please give me an introduction, I've never heard of it before. I've listened to Kanye and Miley Cyrus all my life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VivaLaVida71R Posted December 7, 2015 Share Posted December 7, 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 Oh my gosh, that song is great. I remember hearing that for the first time back in June and just being blown away by the slow and beautiful guitar intro with that hint of delay/echo. The soundscape is amazing, and so is the way it opens itself up to those fantastic lyrics like, "To the outside the dead leaves, they're on the lawn. Before they died, had trees to hang their hope." Lovely song. Had Chris penned something like that for :x&y:, it would've been massive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Adversary Posted December 7, 2015 Share Posted December 7, 2015 I remember hearing that for the first time back in June and just being blown away I know. It's truly great! Here's a festive one. This has everything an Oldplayer should love. Haunting acoustic guitar, piano balladry and "bedwetter" lyrics (A badge of pride) Although I don't relate with the religious interpretation of the song, I believe it's simply a lyrical and musical masterpiece. My favourite Christmas song by a mile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Choldplayer Posted December 7, 2015 Share Posted December 7, 2015 Hey oldplayers (real music experts). So I listened to the new album for a few days solid last week then haven't since or felt the want to. I went back and listened to it today and there was something about the songs I thought I liked, AHFOD, U&U, Everglow and Birds, they sound totally "off". ok, the rest of the album is poor songs and production but why do the good songs not actually sound enjoyable? Is it the mix and production or is there something else? Very sad but I could delete the full album, never listen to it again and not even care, when I listen to all the classics on the oldplayers music thread, the difference in quality is so striking!

Yeah, production and mix are not ideal on several songs and it may also be this "cheap plastic pop" feeling that subtly irritates you. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been hearing this quite a lot. If it were a few of us "oldplayers" saying it then it could just be us being grumpy. But loads of people, loving the album or not, have said the same thing.

I ran away Posted December 11, 2015 Author Share Posted December 11, 2015 I know the singer's voice is not great, but this song carries a lot of Oldplay-like melancholy about the world (maybe lacking that Coldplay spark of hope) and I like it: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ColdplayingfromKansas Posted December 11, 2015 Share Posted December 11, 2015 So much great music in this thread! I just discovered an artist named Andrew Belle--his album Black Bear sounds a lot like what I hoped Coldplay was going to dive into after Viva. A bit of dreamy, experimental work. His lyrical work and voice are just gorgeous in this one: "Oh I swim in a violet sea But I’m bending the light connecting you to me So write a lettre de marque and see Oh if this dark matter heart can bleed out right" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ColdplayingfromKansas Posted December 11, 2015 Share Posted December 11, 2015 ^ My life would be complete Chris, if you're not going to write lyrics like you used to anymore, at least take inspiration from this guy: "Out of the mire we were torn from Remember Out of the fire again But I’m an ember I hold a banner for you But it’s upside down You got a question or two But I’m tongue tied now" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
