March 26, 201610 yr ...To someone who has never heard of them (yeah right) before, you must choose 2 songs of each album/era starting from Parachutes to AHFOD, and describe in 1 word what kind of feelings/emotions these songs contain for you. I'll go first: Parachutes Don't Panic - Beautiful Spies - Paranoia AROBTTH God Put A Smile Upon Your Face - Dark A Rush Of Blood To The Head - Battle X&Y Speed of Sound - Space Fix You - Regret VLVODAAHF Strawberry Swing - Sweet Life In Technicolor ii - Art Mylo Xyoloto Hurts Like Heaven - Color Moving To Mars - Alien Ghost Stories Magic - Lounge Midnight - Darkness AHFOD Up&Up - Completion Hymn For The Weekend - Diversity
March 27, 201610 yr Parachutes: Trouble Shiver AROBTTH: Politik AROBTTH X&Y Speed Of Sound Talk VLVODAAHF VLV Cemeteries of London wouldn't introduce the newer albums to anyone...
March 27, 201610 yr Cool idea! It's a bit hard to choose just two songs from each era, since they're all so different from each other. But I'll give it a try ;) PARACHUTES Don't Panic We Never Change AROBTTH Animals AROBTTH X&Y Square One Twisted Logic VLVODAAHF Violet Hill Life In Technicolor ii MYLO XYLOTO Hurts Like Heaven Every Teardrop Is A Waterfall GHOST STORIES O Always In My Head AHFOD Up&Up Amazing Day
March 27, 201610 yr Parachutes Don't Panic - Warmth Everything's Not Lost - Hopeful AROBTTH Clocks - Love Warning Sign - Regret X&Y Fix You - Comfort Talk - Lost VLVODAAHF Lovers in Japan - Hope Strawberry Swing - Bliss Prospekt's March Life in Technicolor ii - Happiness Glass of Water - Joy Mylo Xyloto Hurts Like Heaven - Freedom Up With the Birds - Release Ghost Stories Always in My Head - Loyalty Midnight - Waiting AHFOD Birds - Soaring Amazing Day - Peace
March 27, 201610 yr I have to say that I had a very difficult time figuring out if the songs I was choosing were good songs to recommend or just my favourite songs. I tried to be as objective but I think my recommendations are more towards the songs that I enjoy the most :P. Parachutes: - Don't Panic -> Calm - Shiver -> Love (I just love Shiver so much :heart:) AROBTTH: - Clocks -> Classic - Green Eyes -> Warm X&Y: - Talk -> Exciting - A Message -> Sweet VLVODAAHF: - VLV -> Memories - LIT ii -> Free MX: - Charlie Brown -> Fun - Major Minus -> Edgy GS: - Magic -> Nostalgia - Another's Arms -> Mystery AHFOD: - AOAL -> Fun - Fun -> Nice
March 27, 201610 yr I believe if you want to introduce Coldplay you need to show a hit song and a less known one that represents their sound. Parachutes Spies and Yellow AROBTTH Clocks and Politik X&Y Talk and Speed of Sound VLVODAAHF Viva la Vida and Violet Hill Mylo Xyloto Paradise and Us Against the World Ghost Stories A Sky Full of Stars and O AHFOD AOAL and Amazing Day Extras Careful Where You Stand Atlas Christmas Lights
March 27, 201610 yr wouldn't introduce the newer albums to anyone... Yeah but some people would like the newer albums:D
March 27, 201610 yr Yeah but some people would like the newer albums:D I know, but I assumed it' about making it clear to someone why I love Coldplay :)
March 27, 201610 yr I will mix it up: I am trying to introduce Coldplay to a skeptic--someone who hates them for no reason and thinks they are crap pop: Parachutes: Don't Panic- Reliance Shiver- Anxious AROBTTH: Politik--Desperation Daylight--Crashing X&Y: Til Kingdom Come--Romance Low-- Swirling VLVODAAHF Cemeteries of London--Haunted 42--Commemoration MX HLH-Colorful :) UWTB--Sparkles GS Midnight--Confusion Magic--Optimism AHFOD Birds--Floating Up&Up--Hope
March 28, 201610 yr It kind of depends on the music taste of the person I'm introducing to Coldplay, but in general I would go with these: Parachutes Don't Panic - optimism Sparks - security A Rush of Blood to the Head In My Place - regret Clocks - nostalgia X&Y White Shadows - searching Speed of Sound - cosmos Viva la Vida Life in Technicolor - openness Viva la Vida - majestic Mylo Xyloto Paradise - dreams (a head full of dreams, if you will) Princess of China - royal Ghost Stories Midnight - stillness All Your Friends - farewell A Head Full of Dreams A Head Full of Dreams - exuberance Amazing Day - grateful

What do you mean by "one's self" for Up & Up? How about "strong" for Shiver? What about "life" for midnight? Really curious...
April 2, 201610 yr ok pour moi mes deux tounes par albums sont , PARACHUTES: Shiver et Yellow Envoyé de mon iPad en utilisant Tapatalk
April 4, 201610 yr Your interpretations of the songs are interesting. What do you mean by "one's self" for Up & Up? How about "strong" for Shiver? What about "life" for midnight? Really curious... Hi there, Maybe, I've taken this challenge way too serious, but I tried to write the exact words that those songs mean to me. For "one's self", I really meant "being oneself". I bet that's why they called it "the song we've been waiting to write for fifteen years". Because it's real and honest. "Shiver" gives me this powerful feeling about: "I can achieve everything I want". And for that, I gotta be strong. And Midnight, well, it's one of my favorite songs. It makes me feel alive!! Midnight makes a fool of us in the daylight. It brings out our deepest thoughts, making them come alive. Hope I've wrote clearly, Amy

I guess I was interested because those particular songs have a different meaning for me. Thank you for explaining!
April 6, 201610 yr Yes, that makes a lot of sense. I also took this seriously! I guess I was interested because those particular songs have a different meaning for me. Thank you for explaining! Anytime :)
