Sunflower85 Posted June 24, 2017 Share Posted June 24, 2017 Chris' enunciation, or lack thereof makes me wonder what he's saying most of the time or makes me mishear the lyrics altogether, lol. Mind you, English is not my first language. I've been in the U.S. for 15 years and consider myself fluent in English. I can understand most varieties of English but I have to say, Chris' accent is very pronounced in his singing. In 'Clocks' I always thought he was saying 'Come out of things of sin' when really he was saying "Come out of things unsaid". In 'Midnight', unless I'm reading the lyrics, I have no clue what he's saying, lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gai Posted June 24, 2017 Share Posted June 24, 2017 chris mumbles so much. he enunciates better at interviews, etc. but if you catch candid videos of him talking to roadies, band and such, he is mumbling at the speed of sound. hardly understandable.

yoyo2000 Posted June 25, 2017 Share Posted June 25, 2017 It means a lot of things it means mother in arabic and ocean in japanese but I'm not sure what Chris wants to say with that or if it's just a random female name Sent from my SM-G920F using Coldplaying mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prospekt46 Posted July 6, 2017 Share Posted July 6, 2017 It's changed a lot over the years too. Compare how he sings Trouble through each era. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coeurli Posted July 6, 2017 Share Posted July 6, 2017 Chris' enunciation is indeed a mystery and often leads to confusion, as our forums' history has shown :nod: 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frostbitepanda Posted July 6, 2017 Share Posted July 6, 2017 It's changed a lot over the years too. Compare how he sings Trouble through each era. Just curious, do you think he's gotten better or worse? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prospekt46 Posted July 7, 2017 Share Posted July 7, 2017 Just curious, do you think he's gotten better or worse? In enunciation? Beats me lol. Overall I liked Chris's voice the most from AROBTTH to X&Y and his work on VLV (the album, not the tour) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
