I ran away

Let's move on to something more joyous and watch this nice Oldplay performance: [video=youtube;UGzVw7EuwGc]

Gong - Gong Song

The Scientist then? OMG, how can I set them apart from that pic only :)

Cats Musical - Memory

Coldplay - Midnight

Then I go for Amsterdam :)

Vashti Bunyan - Coldest Night Of The Year

I think it's not OK for Newplayers now to go flaming in the Oldplaying thread. I've heard numerous times "why you're in the LP7 thread if you don't like the new music" or only yesterday "Oldplayers if you want rock go elsewhere" on the AOAL thread but when we do state our opinions here, far from the rest of you, we get hate for it here too now !!!! This thread was meant as a safe haven for Oldplayers to indulge in Oldplay, and I can only ask you to please respect that. Thanks !

And here is the follow-up Elimination Game with, as I promised, a very different song selection ! You won't find a single Single in there ! http://www.coldplaying.com/forum/threads/105028-***Coldplay-SHORT-SONGS-Elimination-Game*** Please join and have fun !

Welcome to the next installment in the Elimination Game Series ! We have eliminated singles, records, members... and now we're gonna direct our attention to Coldplay's shortest songs ! All of these songs don't have more than just over two minutes (in some cases even much less) running time. Here are the contenders: Don't Panic Parachutes I Bloom Blaum 1.36 A Ghost Mooie Ellebogen Death Will Never Conquer The Goldrush The Dubliners Postcards From Faraway Mylo Xyloto M.M.I.X U.F.O. A Hopeful Transmission O (Reprise) First two rounds will be double elimination and for those you have two votes ! I vote for A Hopeful Transmission and The Dubliners. Have fun !

I vote for Magic.

Any guesses ? Switzerland was the hint and here's another one to help: Look to the folklore there....

There will be a new edition of the Singles Game when ALL of AHFOD's singles are out. At this moment it would be boring to pay the whole thing again with exactly one song added. For now I have something else in mind....check back later !

Looks like Live 2003 to me. The Scientist or Amsterdam perhaps ?

I had the exact same feeling yesterday...but I did give my opinions on the AOAL reviews and LP7 thread. You get so much hate for it when you say you don't like it. And I for my turn don't understand how people on these threads sincerely claim that this song is on the same artistic level as earlier works.

I heard that too, and hearing this obvious fact stated so plainly by Chris himself was quite a blow. I ripped AOAL from Youtube earlier today just for the sake of the completeness of my Coldplay song collection. I tried listening to it again. The next song in my shuffled playlist came on, and it was "Careful where you stand". And when I heard the guitar sounds and Chris's insecure and heartfelt vocals "I feel safe...when am I am with you..." right after hearing AOAL, I became very, very sad all of a sudden. These Oldplay songs, even the B-sides, just play in an entirely different class of music. Yes, I can listen to AOAL and dance or shake my head to it. I can listen to it like I can listen to any other song on the radio. But it doesn't open up a world of emotions to me or touch my soul like an Oldplay song does.

I normally don't like Adele at all, but honestly (and this is not meant in a malicious way; I'm just being very honest here), I hope she wins the charts battle Hello vs. AOAL. I listened to Hello and for me it is definitely the better song of the two.

Clocks - Coldplay 77 Paranoid Android - Radiohead 7 Citizen Erased - Muse 50 Money - Pink Floyd 31 Hitchin' a Ride - Green Day 6

I was responding to a point that The Adversary brought up. I am actually calm, just very disappointed. And yes, most of their songs from 1998 to 2008 were "good to me".

I checked tidalright now (as a non-member, I can only see previews). Nothing new..

Those lyrics are among Chris's weakest. Remind me of True Believer... :(

Vashti Bunyan - Some Things Just Stick In Your Mind (also a great song, if a little oldish-sounding :))

COOL ! Didn't know it was available in Word. Thanks, now I learned something :)
