I ran away

"And I, I can't deciiiiiiiiiide" Two of my absolute favorites, I really cannot decide here ! No vote from me.

I would go for an even bigger relation of font versus image (worried about readability from a distance). But then again I won't be the one holding this card up in front of the stage (the show I go to is not until mid-July, and I am sitting somewhere in the higher seats...), so whatever you guys feel comfortable with !

OMG, that would be an awesome help ! Thanks for this great idea and your offer. Indeed, if some people close to the stage could hold up those cardboards... By the way, I like the artwork with the balloon and the hashtag but I fear that it might be difficult to read from a distance. Can we spell out #IRanAwayLive2016 in bold font underneath or something ? :)

Thanks for the idea, but if I may speak honestly, I personally don't think we should do that. Here's why: I know we all love our project and want it to succeed, but Oxfam and their volunteers have a much more important message to deliver than we have. In the end we are just asking a band to perform a song, while they are collecting support and awareness for societatl/political issues that concern the entire world like the situation of refugees, and I wouldnt wanna interfere with their cause in any way. Hope you get the volunteer position for the shows, and of course you can tell individual Coldplay fans at Oxfam about if if you want :)

I browsed TV channels yesterday evening and one of them (Einsfestival) a TV documentary about Kraftwerk was running. Watched a few minutes hoping they would mention Talk, and after a while, my hopes were fulfilled: An excerpt of Talk in Toronto 2006 played and they talked about how Kraftwerk's melodies influenced Coldplay :)

In the last week, I heard The Scientist, ASFOS and VLV in shops !

This is a terrible choice, but I have to go for Trouble

Why is one concert not enough ? Because they put a smile upon my face and you can never have enough of that :) That said, I only plan to go to one concert in this tour, because other venues are farther away and ticket prices are imho often too high to go to multiple shows, but if I had the opportunity I would go to multiple concerts

Thanks for all the Instagram and Twitter promotion that you people are doing ! By the way, behind the scenes, some of us are currently trying various alternative means to get the message across to the band. We will let you know if any of these are coming to fruition. I just wanted to say that even if things may appear quiet on the surface, we are all trying our best ! :)

Please save Talk !! :O

or Square One ?! I think with all its energy it would fit pretty well.

Ummm oh no :D

Agree !

'Til Kingdom Come #SaveTalk - it is one of the greatest and most iconic Coldplay songs

I remember reading that it is Will's job as the drummer (and timekeeper, in a way...) to trigger backing tracks.

Wow, that is interesting. I cannot estimate the value but please let us know when you list it :)

Hi everyone, writing from the airport now ! I will be travelling in the next few days with little to no time for Coldplaying. Sorry i couldnt answer some private messages yet, will do so when i can. Please all keep shining the torch for our project in the meantime :) If in doubt about something, ask @Nie, who I hereby announce offially as frontwoman of the I Ran Away Project :D See You Soon !!

It is the weekend, it is a hot and clear summer day, and after many stressful months I am finally packing for a well-deserved holiday. So today I am looping Hymn for the Weekend, i feel it suits my feelings best at the moment ! So high, so high, so hiiiigh !!

OK that makes sense. I really hope they don't start taking down Coldplay videos/covers. But I doubt it can be stopped if they choose to do that.

I see ! Booo for Adele and yay for Chris then :) I know that visits like that can mean a lot to a kid in a hospital !

Oops. Sorry, I hope nobody has any bad feelings about it now. I had two vocals for this part but they wouldn't match at all in terms of timing and even the lyrics did not overlap, so I went for the voice doubling instead. It sounded better. I hope you understand :)

So I dont quite understand it, she originally asked Adele to come but Adele didn't ? How did Chris hear about it ? Anyway as usual a kind gesture by Chris !! :)

Not Spies ! Not Sparks ! Swallowed in the Sea
