I ran away

Exactly, 16.00 for you and me and @flockofbirds222 :)

No problem :) U...r = Youuu....are

Oh my, @Gideon_Mx - we had the exact same thought at the same time it seems :P

Y, X& ;)

Yeah, but as you know there is more than one version of this, and I'm not sure if you could tell from the first note which one it is ;)

Think "Clocks" :D White Shadows

Is the download working well, everyone?

Oh, great ! I don't know, something with the link and time and date and a Christmassy Coldplay photo for example ;)

Thanks for all your explanations ! Yeah, I feel the community is still strong today, but i have seen some old Lounge threads too and it must have been so crowded in here ;) But if it was ownership, what did Ian do different ? Or was it possibly rather the fact that more people were enthusiastic about the band back then ?

Alright, Sunday December 18, 10am ET/4pm CET+1 it is ! @AMDB9 - maybe you could spread the word on Coldplaying social media ? We don't have an image though...

Good that you remind me - I had already uploaded it but forgot to post the link :D Here it is. The entire playlist is in one mp3 file, so no confusion about which order and so on. https://mega.nz/#!PdRRDA6L!60rCnZxA6IisRkjn6-KXeNF2EqwBwSaTt0SF6AUKhzU And again, trust me, it will be more interesting for all of you if you don't listen to the file before the party, this way you won't know which song is the next one and which surprises are in it ;)

When I have a conflict with a loved one or someone I care about, I feel physical nausea and the world and myself feel "not alright" to me. Some other people seem to be able to completely repel negative feelings, for them when there is a conflict on the phone or something they turn off their phone and apparently go on normally with life. While I can't just forget the hurt and my mind becomes stuck on the conflict and I tend to dwell on it and can't "move on" and it takes ages. Anyone else here like that ? Sometimes I wish I could turn off my feelings completely and not feel anything at all anymore. Then again I curse those insensitive people who emotionally wreck you so that you wish you had no feelings, and who can't understand what they are doing to you because they don't feel as strongly ! I am emotional wreck right now again :sob: Where did I go wrong, or where did it all go wrong ?

No don't worry, it may actually be a good thing if I have a reason to stay here, I have so much work to do...:)

yep ! Anyone volunteering to make an announcement image for the Coldplaying social channels, actually ?

@antdrew - would you be able to make it at 10 am EST anyway ? And what about you, @alicjanna ? Cause nobody gave a negative response to the 10 am EST solution so far - it's not particularly good for me either, in fact it probably prevents me from going to visit my family that day but then I've got to work a lot anyway these days - and then @alisbe could join. So if no one says a definitive no to 10am, we'll go with 10 am EST/4pm CET+1.

To mei it looks exactly like what you typed: :fol:

[uSER=100956]@Stephen[/uSER] - I just created these two icons, do you think one of them might be added as an :ahfod: smiley ?

Can anyone actually design an AHFOD smiley ?

Tha album cover smiles are BACK !!!!!!! Great, Stephen !

:) ;) :cmjb: :jbcm: :dance: :O :xy: :arobtth:

Holy cow where did that smiley just come from ?!

According to that, the person who made the smilies was last seen 13 years and 8 weeks ago, oops,.... :D

Can we get another set of smilies perhaps ? And what about the Coldplay album cover smilies and the specific ones (all five members + the CHris and Jonny Hug) ?

Just curious, in what way was the forum more alive back then ? I wasn't there at the time to witness it...

Just listened to the first three songs. I have to say I was never a fan of acoustic versions of VLV that do not include strings - for me this song just lives on its string arrangement and is just not the same without it. But refreshing to hear different versions of songs like AOAL (although I find the "beat drop" in it to sound a bit awkward :D) Will listen to Yellow and CL later :)
