I ran away

That Pink-Floydesque introduction to Spies is so great !

Politik is the best album and concert opener Coldplay ever made

Glasto 2002 ! EDIT: oh no, the stream stopped for me right when he said "Give me your Politiiiiiiiiiiiiiii - "

what ? :) By the way @coldplayisawesome, we wanna hear your new Guess Coldplay riddle :D

Ah, I was already beginning to think I'm the only one in the audience. Great :D

Oh, i see. So maybe it will be a bit later then.

Curious to find out what it is; 9 mins to go. Anyone else waiting for the stream to begin ? :)

So let's get a time and date then ! @flockofbirds222 @cp3176 @iamsue (maybe ? I know you already listened on your own) @alisbe

Welcome to the forums !

:heart_eyes:

What's gonna be on today and at what time will it be ?

To me, the band became better from the start until the AROBTTH and Era and then declined below what they had started out with...

Sorry to hear, @iamsue, hope you will get well soon ! So if @flockofbirds222 and @alisbe want to repeat the playlist, if we pick a time beforehand I would totally love to join again as well :D

Oh no, I did wonder why you weren't there. but you can still listen to it and read our comments. Yeah I know it's not the same...

Interesting viewpoint ! I must admit I have never quite thought of it that way. I tend to think that those people who are tread upon other people's feelings without giving a damn and reject every criticism directed at them are the ones with hidden insecurities, and they assert themselves in that way to overcome them. But I see what you mean that the "trod-upon" people like me can be insecure too. While none of the bullet points apply to me in particular (ok ok, maybe a tad little perfectionism sometimes), I understand what you mean. I don't think I care too much what other people think about me, though, to be honest. I mean, not more than what I would call healthy and common in society. I'm not constantly thinking about the impression other people might have of me. The reason that conflicts with a loved one upset me so much is more that I have an inner need for harmony with the environment, or are you saying this may this be insecurity in itself too ? Hm... I agree and I think we are all not flawless and perfect, which is exactly what makes us human. Human beings are not flawless, but if we recognize our mistakes and acknowledge that we will never be perfect, we get closer to perfection. But some people just think they are better than everyone else or have this superiority feeling and those are the ones you tend to have trouble with in my experience because they never even consider that something may be their fault, or that they might have made a mistake, they always blame it all on somebody else and feel wronged. And don't know how much damage they do, and how deeply they can hurt their loved ones when they act like that. I have been thinking as well that this may come from some deeply hidden insecurity or inferiority complex on their part. But you can't confront them about their behavior cause if you do, they will reject everything and be offended immediately. At least the person I'm dealing with is like that, and it's awful because I care about this person :'( I just feel upset about it for a long time. Of course you always ask yourself "what could I have done differently" or "was is my fault" but sometimes when another person just picks a fight because you know they always pick a fight, I don't feel guilty because I know this time it definitely wasn't my fault. But I still feel nauseous and upset if the conflict does not get resolved quickly. In a way I seem to be addicted to harmony, you know what I mean ? When something is not alright it feels like my world and life is out of balance. Thanks for the hug and sending out one to you too. I hope whatever makes you feel down will go away soon. "May all your troubles soon be gone". It's always so much easier said than done though. I am still struggling with seeing the positive things in life more clearly than the negative ones. I do think it's a conscious choice you can make but you need to be strong-willed for that, I'm working on it.... That's a good point. I never am really sure how much my own faults/difficult personality (?) add into conflicts with other people, and it's always easier to detect flaws in other people than in yourself, so naturally this insecurity about the own fault in this is a constant companion. But yeah, maybe I should think about addressing myself in second person ;) By the way, I was hoping there'd be Coldplaying awards this year because I wanted to vote for this thread to win best Lounge thread. Thanks so much @Little Miss Coldplay for making it, it's great to have a place to discuss these things :heart:

I LOVE THIS VIDEO

Yes Merry Christmas And A Happy New Year to all of you ! I'm sure 2017 will be better than 2016 :heart:

Merry Christmas/War is over - John Lennon Cover from Exeter Castle 2009

Will's singing here is great too !

now goosebumps when Jonny comes in and the chorus starts !

Now this is my favorite song, I discovered it during making this playlist and it was a huuuuge earworm for me that I couldn't get rid of for days ! and given what a year 2016 was, I thought i'd put it at the very end cause it has such a strong message imho

love the Fireworks and they symbolize the New Year for me
