I ran away Posted January 10, 2016 Author Share Posted January 10, 2016 I like Lovers in japan but I think the production is not really good. To my ears this song always sounds a bit muffled and not as clear as the other tracks on Viva. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alisbe Posted January 10, 2016 Share Posted January 10, 2016 did you know that jonny wrote the middle part after chris snapped at him to go finish the song during a lunch at the bakery? chris' mom afterwards was cross with chris and said he shouldn't speak to ppl like that :happy: Interesting fact! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I ran away Posted January 10, 2016 Author Share Posted January 10, 2016 btw I HATE the line "Soldiers, you have to soldier on" because it sounds so anti-pacifistic and against Coldplay's own beliefs... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jedi Leo Posted January 10, 2016 Share Posted January 10, 2016 "keeping my head down to see what it feels right now...i have no doubt one day we´re gonna get out" Such an amazing line! So rebellious, so strong...never give up! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cp3176 Posted January 10, 2016 Share Posted January 10, 2016 More like a cross between Mylo and Viva IMO. But it's understandable as this was one of the last songs written for the album... they were very much crossing into Mylo at this point... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soldiers are not only those who go to war....it can be any of us who have to soldier on some hardship. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cp3176 Posted January 10, 2016 Share Posted January 10, 2016 BTW the intro to this song sounds almost exactly like the part in Major Minus from 2:05 to 2:35... just sayin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alisbe Posted January 10, 2016 Share Posted January 10, 2016 I like the live version even more because I can hear Guy and Will on the backing vocals perfectly. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AMDB9 Posted January 10, 2016 Share Posted January 10, 2016 I love Will's drumming at the end...especially the part when he hits the cymbal twice in a row 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cp3176 Posted January 10, 2016 Share Posted January 10, 2016 The Intro to this song is so... haunting in a way.... I don't know. It's great though. I love how the magnificent Reign of Love follows after! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jedi Leo Posted January 10, 2016 Share Posted January 10, 2016 If that's the interpretation I am all for it, but I'm not sure that's what they meant.... Thats certainly how I always interpreted it. Also because it comes after "lovers". To me its always meant soldiering through anything hard in your life..we are a soldier in life too sometimes even if we bear no firearm :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
