I ran away

@oldiefan ok, now I saw it ! Nice room ! And you have a lovely accent by the way, where are you from ? :)

Well, thanks, that isn't exactly reassuring :joy: "I'm so scared about the future"... When I was a small kid, I used to think people over 17/18 are "old". Then I got older, and I thought it was the people over 30. Now I don't know what to think anymore. I know this is gonna sound stupid, but when I was small, I also used to think people born in the 70s are by default the thirty-somethings. And now they are the forty-somethings ! It's scary. I have had the weird feeling of time passing faster for some years now. It's when I see dozens of fresh students lining the library tables with nothing but a tablet, where a few years earlier (in my time...) we printed out all our lecture materials and looked things up in books, too. Or very young school kids with smartphones. Or kids with birth dates in the 2000s all grown up. When I see these things, I feel incredibly old and wonder how time has passed. And then I think, wait, it can't have been that long since I...and then I have to face it, but it has been that long, ten years or more, and it's just one's mind playing tricks on you. I wish Coldplay/Chris would discover 'time and memories' as a major lyrical/album theme, I'd love to hear about that. What is a Scouser ? I think I missed that part, I didn't watch fully, must do it again :)

Got my right side fighting

How little things can slip out of your hands

I can't believe Chris is 40 today. Since Coldplay for me are mostly defined by the first three eras and I usually listen to those songs, watch those concerts and most importantly relate to those songs, Chris sounds so young there and then he and the others feel like Twenty-somethings to me. It's difficult to describe. It's as if in your mind time stands still, and suddenly you realize it has passed and all these things are things of the past.

Well, in the case of SJLT, you could argue that no song might be better than... :escape:

And already over !

yeah finally !

:sleeping: Someone wake me up when Chris starts speaking :P

Peek-a-boo !

Reading the comments next to the video, I have the impression most people are there for Chris rather than Elvis Duran :D

I'm grateful for the evening star, Venus, shining so brightly from the sky these days. It's such a lovely sight when the sky is clear.

While I didn't get tears in my eyes, Hypnotised made me feel incredibly emotional the first time I heard it. @The Philosopher - I understand what you mean, this particular song doesn't give me the feeling of nostalgia, but for example the song I Ran Away does, I haven't figured out entirely why ;) The more I think about it, the more I feel that Hypnotised is like a crossing of Fly On and Amazing Day. So beautiful.

5/10, sounds like a typical 90s Britpop song to me.

For the thirst and for the hunger

Coldplaying Attitude of Gratitude :joy:

So you share a birthday with Chris ? Happy B'day !

This could be hypno-, hypno-, hypnotized hypno-, hypno-, hypnotized Could be hypno-, hypno-, hypnotized Ooooh oooh oooh ooohaaaaaaaooooohhhooooww

I spotted @BuckinParadise there :P

Yes, that honor has been handed off to the Chainsmokers

I think ALIENS is gonna be the song with that darker, mysterious-sounding guitar riff we heard in a soundcheck video !

Oh, thanks for the warning :P

Yeah, that "Now I'm hyp, hypnotised" part sounds awkward, cause it sounds like "Now I'm hip" :D "Now I'm here, hypnotized" would have been the better option imho. Other than that, I think this song is among his better lyrical works of recent times, though :)

Thisssssss

Meet me by the bridge
