A fan requested Coldplay play “The Goldrush” live. So far in my hunt it appears the symbols are linked to official music videos not just the song and a static image. Should I stop my search for now? Think this means anything? (I might be going a bit wild, lol) I'm really sorry to burst your bubble again but I'm fairly sure there's nothing hidden in these YouTube videos. Its just the YouTube watermark that you can assign a picture to. Some videos don't have it because it can be turned off as well and that will just be a coincidence. The image/tweet from Kathryn refers to a troll I believe.

But the beauty of a song becoming big or relevant these days mostly lies in something else than just being an original artsy masterpiece. It's freakin TikTok era, where people have attention span of 5 seconds, so in order to make impact with a song, you need to do it in 5 seconds. Let's not forget that most of the people don't properly listen to music, they just hear it and consume in a very basic way. So what for example Blinding Lights achieved is that it became instantly easily relatable to all the age groups. It has very simple catchy melody, which somehow didn't wear out quickly, it presented the sound of the 80's in a clever way, it's uptempo and danceable - TikTok. So overall, the thing is that definition of a masterpiece can be different. Blinding Lights is a masterpiece if you consider it achieved "ticking all the boxes" of the modern hit song and you can't blame the song for doing that. You could just blame the modern society making the criterias of a masterpiece something else than they were in the past. I see your point, and I totally agree about how our attention span is steadily decreasing, it's something I've noticed as well. I would call a song like BL a huge commercial success, but still in no way a masterpiece just because it ticks all these boxes though. It's a matter of definition. I see no value in managing to appeal to the lowest common denominator. And to be honest i would also blame artists who cater to this lowest common denominator - they are a big part of this supply and demand chain for, let's call it, generic music. And yet a well-composed, original-sounding song with a great melody can be a massive hit as well - take Viva la Vida for example. You can become a major commercially successful artist on the back of great compositions, like Coldplay. I have a feeling if you create consistently great artistic value, it will eventually come through and be successful. But most people don't and look for the easy way, which is not surprising.
May 1, 20215 yr I think popularity alone doesn't make a song a masterpiece. Most songs that are very popular have catchy melodies, and usually they readily evoke emotions in many people. Other factors like branding and personality can help too. I don't even think that came about with social media, and it's happening in other arts too. Being artsy alone won't qualify a song as a masterpiece either. I think ultimately most people care more about how a song makes them feel than the actual composition. A true masterpiece like bohemian rhapsody will have that emotional impact and be easily palatable, and additionally will be more innovative or technically advanced.

Pero he seguido a los chicos desde el principio. Entonces, ha sido un placer decir que he crecido con ellos musicalmente y en la vida. Siempre deseé que hubieran seguido la ruta completa del rock alternativo, ya que su material anterior indicaba que serían bastante buenos en eso. Mira, me encanta la guitarra de Buckland, creo que es un genio sutil, y desearía que lo desataran por completo, es decir, One I Love (2003 Live). Pero he llegado a aceptar que simplemente no van a hacer eso. El genio de Buckland sigue ahí, pero al igual que el resto de la banda, se complementan perfectamente, lo que los convierte en quienes son, Coldplay. Cada vez que lanzan un álbum, me asusto un poco, a falta de una palabra mejor, de que se vuelvan pop dignos de vergüenza. Pero he aprendido a crecer con ellos y a aceptar que, al final, nunca te desviarán. Saben lo que hacen. Incluso si es pop. Amo la mayoría de sus cosas pop. Porque al final del día, crean con un propósito. Y sé que significa algo para ellos, por lo perfeccionistas que son. Entonces, si bien este pequeño fragmento de 15 segundos parece súper amapola, no tengo ninguna duda de que será Coldplay en su esencia. Diablos, esto puede ser lo más popular del álbum. No juzguemos todo el álbum o la canción en 15 segundos. En este punto del juego, saben lo que están haciendo. ¡Confío en ellos! ¡Trae Higher Power y el álbum! The only thing I ask of God is that there be no more ohhhh aaaahhhh uuuuhhh no more please ? and many much JB riffs and solos
May 1, 20215 yr I think we all have to consider the fact that Coldplay has changed since 2010. Those stadium-pop songs are now part of their identity because it was a choice they made a decade ago, or even with Viva la Vida. Imo, i like the fact that they made Everyday Life before because it reminds us that they still have this melancolic-soft rock vibe in their roots. They just chose to explore new horizons and I can't blame them for that. My two favorites albums are AROBTTH and Mylo Xyloto, I'm lucky to love both sides of their music ... But please if you're unhappy, remain respectful with their choice ?
May 1, 20215 yr 1 hour ago, I ran away said: Entiendo su punto, y estoy totalmente de acuerdo en cómo nuestra capacidad de atención está disminuyendo constantemente, es algo que también he notado. Yo diría que una canción como BL es un gran éxito comercial, pero de ninguna manera una obra maestra solo porque cumple todos estos requisitos. Es una cuestión de definición. No veo ningún valor en lograr apelar al mínimo común denominador. Y para ser honesto, también culparía a los artistas que se adaptan a este mínimo común denominador: son una gran parte de esta cadena de oferta y demanda de, llamémosla, música genérica. Y, sin embargo, una canción bien compuesta, con un sonido original y una gran melodía también puede ser un gran éxito; tome Viva la Vida, por ejemplo. Puedes convertirte en un gran artista de éxito comercial gracias a grandes composiciones, como Coldplay. Tengo la sensación de que si creas un gran valor artístico de forma constante, eventualmente se materializará y tendrá éxito. Pero la mayoría de la gente no lo hace y busca el camino fácil, lo cual no es sorprendente. Exactly Brilliant !!! Coldplay looks for the easy way. a clear example is Arctic Monkeys who broke the market with Do i wanna knows. Thats amazing and cool.

May 1, 20215 yr Wanted to go in blind thus I didn't listen to the musical snippet however once the full songs releases, I'll be sure to type what I think about it. Music is definitely subjective though. I distinctly remember when Coldplay was rallying behind the initial release of Magic... I thought that song was alright but felt it wasn't as major of a song that they did. If I were them I would've been pushing for True Love. That's all the past though and just me chiming in my thoughts.
May 1, 20215 yr New Coldplay track that can be heard alongside the fireworks in front of the O2? https://twitter.com/londonviewpts/status/1388451047488819204?s=20 Edited May 1, 20215 yr by JustSomeone

May 1, 20215 yr I think the pre-chorus lyrics sound as they do because they are doubled by backing vocals of the For Love choir (in brackets). As for the bridge, I don't know. So yeah, overall the lyrics aren't great, but we'll have to wait see how they work within the context of the music.
May 1, 20215 yr I really like these lyrics, my shoe is untied is a favourite, so funny, like that side of Chris, like in boring songs, the show they did for bbc. It is a shame thought that the scientist will probably be their most beautiful song ever, but maybe, who knows, they will make a song as simple on surface yet so strong and beautiful
May 1, 20215 yr Do they usually release songs earlier for critics and radio stations, in preparation of the launch? If so, someone could've leaked the lyrics. On the German rollingstone website there's an article stating the record label suggested there'll be a tour in late 2021, around the same time when the album will be released, and another single inbetween higher power and the album.
May 1, 20215 yr Music of The Spheres, or Musica Universalis is an ancient philosophical concept originated by Pythagoras and his followers. It does not resonate sounds you hear every day, but an idea to represent the metaphysical and religious concept of the earth’s relationship to other planets, so “that the divine and poetic order of the universe could be known.” There is geometry in the humming of the strings, there is music in the spacing of the spheres…If earthly objects such as strings or pieces of metal make sounds when put in motion, so too must the Moon, the planets, the Sun and even the highest stars. As these heavenly objects are forever in motion, orbiting the Earth, surely they must be forever producing sound. ~ Phythagoras, The Mystery of Matter The Musiza Universalis would have later attributed a fundamental base to the connection between music, mathematics, and astronomy. Its idea fascinated all intellectuals in different fields, notably Stephen Hawking’s modern String Theory as “theory of everything” to the universe.
