I ran away

Yeah, too bad they have dissolved in 2009, isn't it ?

Well, but outside this cosy place called the Oldplaying thread people will jump at you for that and tell you that Coldplay haven't changed after all ! Honestly, everyone who postulates that should watch this for example and then compare it to the current stuff !

Atlas of course :P

Great review by @The Adversary . Can't wait for yours, @nvdmm . Actually that makes me want to do a track-by-track commenting too. Maybe, if I find the time, within the following days !

Aren't the lyrics "So I RACE for it ?" (Would also fit in with concept that a song called The Race was cut and lyrical terms are reoccuring)

She.

I also recognised the Plejades (amateur astronomer !!!) and one of them carries your world, he'll carry your woooooorld, right ? :D

i dont think it'd Chris he usually wears anothe type of (more sporty) looking sneakers

When you're still waiting for the snow to fall...It doesn't mean anything but the fact we're still in fall. Look at earth from outer space, everyone ______

and animals they are

one of the reasons I thing the song is not about JLaw

That line is in Birds though, not in Fun.

And the actual reason I came back to that thread now was to tell you that I have just watched this, and it broke my (Coldplayer) heart.

Was somewhat absent in the last days so haven't looked through all the posts yet, but this comment coming from The Adversary sounds disturbing ! :D

Quote from Will "Stargate are brilliant at finding what’s important in a piece of music and letting everything else sit back" Oh yes, of course.

oops, mistake

Wouldn't be the first time lyrics and melody/vibe are diametral - best example is Viva La Vida ! :)

Praise is a little bit overstated. I only said I liked the melody when I heard it on the radio, I never said the song as a whole was particularly deep or good and I can assure you it did not end up on my playlist :D I agree with Leo personal things like whether you just happen to like a particular riff or not play a big role in our assessment of music. I am also strongly melody-driven in my music liking, meaning that songs that seem to float around going noewhere instead of having a strong lead melody (example: Always In My Head) are not for me. You said you thought What do you mean was a good song ? Well, I think it's terrible, and if I were to choose between this and Wrecking Ball, I would choose tha latter. That's just our different opinions. :) As for the "artists", I think both Bieber and Cyrus are as shallow and commercial as modern music "artists" can get. My criticisms of Coldplay may sometimes sound harsh, but I also set an extremely high standard for them because I have listened to all their works and I know they are very talented and great musicians !

Yes, I know what you mean. But well, i don't expect them to stick to the exact same sound, but you can also change your sound moderately without throwing everything you have been standing for overboard. Parachutes, AROBTTH and X&Y all give off completely different vibes when compared to each other, but are still within the same major framework of style. If I like a certain style of music and a certain artist is great at doing this kind of music, then I'd rather this artist keeps doing similar things rather than radically changing its sound just for the sake of having changed it.

Think he refers to being tossed into the cold water (and ocean water is salty, so...)

Her funeral was on the same day the Yellow video taping was scheduled, hence only Chris appears in the video (the others were at the funeral).

Not in my opinion. The path they have chosen after Viva was artistically suicidal.

Nice article, thanks !

Oh yeah, that's right ! Didn't think of it.
