I ran away

I literally never heard the word ever before 2011 because I was pretty much living in my classical music bubble...but yeah, I wouldn't get the idea to tweet out such a question. Or think it's another name for Radiohead LOL

OK, sorry for my dumb question but I never watched American TV....is CBS the same as CBSnews ?

In their defence, I did not know Coldplay myself until 2011.....

Yeah, that sums it up pretty well ! to die !

OK good. Let's see if our TV has CBS somewhere...

Just saw you discussed Powerball here... I bought two tickets for a total of 4$ and then got the Superball at the end right, so I won...4 $ ! Very glad that I didn't make a loss and that's it for me playing the lottery in the US...in Europe the odds are much higher !

So this starts in roughly 1 hr 20 mins, right ?

I know the Carmina Burana, O Fortuna is such a great piece ! Imagine it as an opener and a firework during the last seconds and Coldplay appear on stage ! I think thematically it would have fitted best into the Viva Era though, what with the themes on the cycle of life and death etc.

I found this article today and it's hilarious :D you should check it out http://www.gq.com/story/super-bowl-coldplay

Just wondering, is there actually any person who would consider him/herself a Moldplayer ? For me, a Moldplayer is someone who thinks Coldplay's best music was in the pre-Parachutes Era (Safety, B&S, TBR). I personally love the pre-Parachutes songs but I like AROBTTH and X&Y more...well I was just curious if someone like that exists. Probably all Moldplayers have left the forum ages ago though :)

42 8 (+) White Shadows 35 (+) Ladder to the Sun 17

Yeah, I guess the original ad is the perfect size for Facebook (the bold parts were in blue cause that's the color of X&Y :)). The other one is good for Twitter

Well said...will you go to the AHFOD tour though ?

Hey, does anyone have an AHFOD pre-sale code left ? I (admittedly very late) got the idea to buy two of the less expensive tickets in Gilette as a present for someone....but unfortunately I gave away/used my pre-sale codes already and the generic one "AHFODpre" only works for the newly added shows... could anyone possibly help out ?

The Escapist is an album song, it is the final track of Viva :) No to all guesses so far. Here is the guideline to go: Find the action that may be part of the cure (for what? for whom?) when in the end you follow Death and all his friends. A similar action is described in a lyric line of one song. This song is what we are looking for.

I tentatively think at least one day earlier would be better so that Coldplaying can get the word of the exact day and time out via social media, perhaps...

You guessed part of it ("when you finally follow him") but this is not the final answer. You have to decode the entire sentence :)

Just curious, what exactly do you mean by that ? Feel free to PM me if you don't wanna clutter up the HFTW Video thread any further (LOL, this has gone so off-topic since the mentioning of Mother Mary :P)

Ah, i see ! Haha no problem :)

I know it's not exactly the same, but I would say the concepts are somewhat similar. And I know that these discussions are not constructive, hence I steer well clear of them :D

He was actually referring to the shareholders of EMI.... I am not sure which post you are referring to but I can assure you that in my entire life I never believed in a higher power, so maybe that was some kind of a misunderstanding ? :)

Well I think this Speed Of Sound quote is at least a subtle sign of spirituality and belief of Chris in a higher power where things come from. I know Chris used to be confused with religion and his beliefs. Cemeteries Of London really says it all : "...to find God in their own way......I saw God come in my garden, but I don't know what he said, for my heart it was not open, not open...."

No worries, but I didn't say that. I don't believe in a higher power. In my last post I was just trying to express that I can appreciate and be in awe at the beauty and mysteries of nature without being religious. Because Chris used this an argument for belief in God, that's what I was trying to counter :) And I wouldn't give too much on Chris's words from 2005 as to the current Chris....in 2005 he also condemned all shareholders as evil, now he is a shareholder himself so...

Well guessed !
