Gideon_Mx Posted March 26, 2017 Share Posted March 26, 2017 I always stop listening to the AROBTTH album after the song AROBTTH, it's a better closer than Amsterdam imho. I don't like the first part half of Amsterdam, I have to admit. An unpopular opinion, I know :p Well, I have to admit, we share the same opinions then :D (But I think that I like the song a little more lately) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I ran away Posted March 26, 2017 Author Share Posted March 26, 2017 it's a slow build but i love it. 100% worth it for me AROBTTH would be such an outlier as a closer to a CP album. there's always a song that's at least vaguely optimistic :p But AROBTTH does end on a peaceful and calm note, right ? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I ran away Posted March 26, 2017 Author Share Posted March 26, 2017 @coldplayisawesome - It may be a thing of interpretation, but I always used that song when I was upset or angry and it would transfom my anger and soak it up and leave me much calmer ! And that is the end of the Listening Repeat Party ! Make sure you vote in the polls for the next one in April ! Thanks for being here tonight with us ! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I "see" songs like that in a more abstract way, so I don't visualize a scene such as you described and the song gives me a different, broader feeling. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
