My favorite too. What does "birds fly up from the underground..." Mean? Nod to evolution?

No idea, probably more a nod to Chris's bird Obsession :)

Speed Of Sound is an Ode to the universe and a hymn for seizing the moment !

Agree. Sometimes I wonder what the part Chris doesn't like is, it's a great song.

A Message is such an underrated song. I really love Jonny's guitar and Chris's vocals especially at the end of the song !

And I'm not gonna take it back

And I'm not gonna say I dont mean that

Youree the target that I'm aiming at

And I get that message home

 

My song is love

My sing is love unknown

 

so cute !!!

Sorry but that raw, scratchy guitar at the beginning if A Message sounds like nails on a blackboard. But "I'm not gonna take it back, not gonna say I don't mean that" is one of my all time favorite lines and mottos!

On a platform, I'm gonna stand and say

That I'm nothing on my own

And I love you please come home

 

I love it how Chris falsettos on pleeeeease and then shouts the home. Great voice modulation again !

I like Jonny's solo.

And I love you pleeeeeeeease come hooooome !

@I ran away I can see you enjoy this album so much. You can describe perfectly what we're listening to.

Low ! When I was beginning to discover Coldplay, I always confused it with White Shadows :D

I like Jonny's solo.

Yes. The one at the end. The "I'm nothing in my own "at the end is one of the most desperately sung lines ever. Really believe it!

Low has great desperate lyrics and an angry driving guitar rhythm. It is one of the songs that can make me calm down when I'm upset !

"See the world in black and white"! "No colors..." A great contrast between types of people. Love the guitar on this one!

I like the live version of Low because we can hear Guy's backing vocals. Plus his job in the bass in this song is a stand out.

You see the world in black and white

No colour or light

You think you'll never get it right

But you're wrong, you might

....

You see the world in black and white

Not painted right

You see no meaning to your life

You should try

You should try

My favorite part of this song is listening to the sound of glass.

Earlier I always thought that

You should try

You should try

 

is "Yes you tried

Yes you tried"

 

and it spoke perfectly to me. You see no meaning to your life... ;(

My favorite part of this song is listening to the sound of glass.

Yeah the spoons are really cool !

When I listen to this song I feel like Chris is telling me those words.

The only part about Low that I don't like is Chris's falsetto, which is a bit too high here I think. Sounds too squeaky.

Chris"s falsetto on "You Should Try" is brilliant. So pleading! If this song couldn't convince you, I don't know what could. Wish I'd heard Low when I was in college!

Too funny. I just posted opposite before feed posted yours.

Never really got into The Hardest Part but I really like some of the guitar elements in it.

I misunderstood this phrase until recently, as I wrote above. But it's a great line!

I will agree that it's too high on " cause I feel low" at end.
