I ran away

Just for UK residents..

I thought it was gonna be clear because the other Oooh, in my mind, is just a sample of the instrumenatl LiT. But I guess I could have explained it better hm. :)

I see ! Yes, I meant 2:42 being nearly the same melody as 0:56 in the VLV instrumental.

That's not at all what I meant. You mean the Viva chant, right ? It doesn't have the same melody. Neither do the Ooohs at the end of the song. I was referring to a short piece of strings-only backing track that is used during the verses. It has the same melody as the LiTii Oooohs.

So Sad 10 Ode to Deodorant 10 Idiot 10 If She Comes Back 10 Someone to Love 10 A View From the Top 11 A Ghost 10 Where is My Boy 10 Your Love Means Everything (Part 2) 10 Ladder to the Sun 10 Harmless 10 Your World's Turned Upside Down 10 Sweet Marianne 10 The Water Flows Over (Solid Ground) 10 St. Stephen 10 Bloodless Revolution 10 The Fall of Man 10 The Man Who Swears 10 First Steps 10 Loveless 10 Goodbye and Goodnight 10 Bucket for a Crown 10 The Dubliners 10 Lukas 10 Famous Old Painters 10 Rainy Day/School 10 Wedding Bells 10 Spanish Rain 9

Yeah I wasn't making a comprehensive list...Yellow and Fix You certainly are iconic songs of the 2000s, too

The audience ? Really ? I only noticed when listening to the Viva La Vida instrumental

Yesss ! One of the string backing tracks plays exactly the same melody. Your turn!

Ooooh, I missed a fight here ! Am I the only person who doesn't give a damn about Fall Out Boy and One Republic ? Of course Coldplay's legacy will be a lot bigger than theirs; as much as theb boys dilute it with material like HFTW and AOAL they will always be remembered for albums like AROBTTH and songs like Viva La Vida or Clocks.

*goes into the backstage area of the cinema, grabs the first tape that comes to hand and it turns out to be a weird tape featuring Beyonce and flowers and a Hindi dress*

No and no again. I'm gonna reveal more now. As I already hinted, it is not about lyics, but about the music. Listen to the highlighted part of LiTii. The very same melody is hidden in one other song. Find this song :)

Welcome here, @A Rush of Magic ! :D

Definitely Birds, the other two songs are so good :)

Nice suggestions, but no and no. :) Hint: This riddle is about the music itself. Take a good listen to LiTii, especially the highlighted part.

No and no :)

I just researched concert earplugs and ordered some online that will hopefully fit my small ears. Although I need them in general for concerts I will attend in the future, I ordered them now in particular for a certain, possible March 14 event.... All that's missing now is the Fan Pass from the Today Show. I've never won anything in giveaways in my life that I cared about. So I have a premonition that I won't win any Fan Pass to the Coldplay show and it was all in vain. Still, at the moment I find even the prospect of maybe winning one exciting. Imagine seeing Coldplay in such a small venue and possibly front row ! I'm currently in a heavily stressed out and bleak life situation (have been thinking a lot recently about this line "under this pressure, under this weight, we are diamonds, taking shape...)" and I couldn't think of anything more encouraging than listening to Viva La Vida live on the early morning of a new work week. So I haven't given up dreaming yet. I got a head full of dreams. /End of rant. Just needed to get this off my chest. Here's to everyone else who is in a complicated life situation at the moment. Don't ever give up !

Just came across this....LMAO (note that it is a "High Speed" version !!!!) http://www.dx.com/p/coldplayer-is-428-ultra-quiet-high-speed-cooling-pad-w-4-fans-for-15-laptops-light-blue-266389#.VtqG3-ajC91

Thank you, @iamsue ! Sorry to hear you have not been well. You made a mysterious and clever riddle as always ! Not sure if I'm deserving this since I really only got the elephant part right, but well :) Here is my riddle - and it is completely different. Nothing to do with lyrics or words at all. Life in Technicolooooooooooor ii

Ink and Lhuna

Have you considered the Oldplaying thread (see link below in my signature) ?

I doubt this is about tickets, more about Coldplay goodies I guess.... :)

The next Monday deadline is only three days away so I was wondering if you have any news ? :)

Or a tree trunk, as in "you cut me down a tree and brought it back to me" - Swallowed in the Sea ?

Is it about the trunk of an elephant (Paradise) and the line is "every tear a waterfall" which is a compact version of ETIAW ?

Wait, what ? @guy42 - I asked because everybody got it wrong here at first :D Well done ! :)
