I ran away

No need to, I know the answer for I looked into that a while ago ! :D Tim Crompton and friends renamed themselves into The Bettina Motive and released one EP in 2002 by the name of Fully Spun. They don't seem to have released anything after that...

In one of the Trouble videos, Chris was tied to a chair which in the end fell over. Tree

Wow, very imaginative of you ! Cool !

I've never had a Coldplay hangover either :D No, the signatures is still there. Go to settings and check if you have to turn on visibilty (I had to in the old forum !)

A knife is a part of cutlery, as is a spoon, and spoons feature in Coldplay's song Up&Up (trying to empty out the ocean with a spoon) Bullet

Proof 10 Yellow 23 Gravity 25

Just came across this on the World Wide Web: http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Coldplay+Hangover

please vote so that I can vote :D

I have the feeling that my riddle scared everyone away from this thread, though :-/ As for Nie's riddle, I have no idea ! I don't know any Coldplay song that has these lyrics, and in case they are meant metaphorically I can only think of Sleeping Sun, Talk (alternate), The Scientist and Princess Of China as potential guesses...but none of them really fits.

Proof 10 Yellow 24 Gravity 24

Sorry, my mistake ! Proof 10 Yellow 25 Gravity 23

I like all three songs but Proof has a stronger emotional meaning for me....And Gravity is just sublime, it should win :D Proof 10 Yellow 26 Gravity 22

What does BOI mean ? Proof 11 Yellow 26 Gravity 22

Proof 11 Yellow 26 Gravity 22

Spotify has breaks in between though, which doesn't work with the listening party.... But hey @cp3176 and [uSER=101247]@diogo_sg[/uSER] , I think you have it now, if you know what I mean .... :D

Coldplay or Radiohead ? Thom or Chris ? Ernie or Bert ?

Oldplay or Newplay ? :D

I can see the point about the intermissions, but what about Violet Hill ?

If it is a live album, it should imho be audio only :)

But only if it is the audio without video please ! I don't wanna spoil myself the video yet...besides, I don't have my DVD with me !

First Steps

1. Are you Chris Martin in disguise ? 2. How often per month do you cut your toenails ? 3. Have you ever considered joining the Church of The Flying Spaghetti Monster ? 4. ......... 5. ..... 6. ...

@Jedi Leo - how long must we wait for it ? :D

Now comes the moment of truth...First of all, my apologies. I hope you will not rip my head off when I tell you that...the song had been guessed a long time ago, but for literally none (!!!) of the reasons/clues I had laid out so I faced a dilemma: Say that this is the correct answer and have invented all these carefully constructed clues all in vain...or make the riddle go on under an arguably somewhat false impression. If you go back to that post, you will see that I never literally said the song is correct, but that Nie's theories were not what I thought of. I took care to word it like that, also that was arguably still a kind of cheating :) I hope you forgive me for that and I promise you this is the last of these ultra-convoluted riddles - should I ever get to make a riddle again, it will be a more straightforward one ! @Nie is (and was) right: It is indeed "The World Turned Upside Down" as it contains the specific phrase "and everything under the sun". If you look back at the riddle (see below) I hope you agree with me that nothing was as it first seemed and that the clues were very deeply hidden, with many intermediate steps, and convoluted. I still hope that everything makes sense now in retrospect. "It's Not What It Seems" In my place I have a view from the ground and you're the target that I'm aiming at. I'll be doing my best and I'll see you soon. Do you feel like a puzzle and you can't find your missing piece ? I still got no answers. So I crawl back into your open arms on what a secret everybody knows is to the place that you got found. Thank you all for guessing, I had great fun and I hope you had too and that you are not too angry at me...Well guessed and worked out by all of you in this riddle that spread over 5 pages of posts ! You are all so imaginative and clever, coming up with lots of connections I'd never even thought of ! Your turn now, @Nie ! :D By the way I was impressed how well your theory about The World Turned Upside Down actually fitted :) Goes to show how similar in terms of general /feelings some Coldplay songs are !

I had an eerie coincidence today: I was walking by a stone monument in a nearby city when on my playlist suddenly "Murder" came up. And during the first lines "Murder, coming to get us, coming to get us, and away we hide...." I saw the plaque at the monument "Homicide Victims Memorial". Uuuughhh... :o
