I ran away

Nope... I know this may be a hard one, so here's another hint: You all got the Era wrong so far.

Nope, none of the two. Think about that hint I gave :)

Really ? I never got the impression that this was implied to be Apple (and the voice imho fits to a woman, not a girl), I understood it's the first line in the outro "Don't ever let go" before Chris in falsetto repeats that line two times. And Moses is on Anothers Arms for one line iirc. What I never got is where that girl friend of Apple, who is supposed to have participated, can be heard...?

Any news at least on the Coldplaying-asks-Coldplay front regarding our question we voted for in June ? Did Coldplay respond yet ? If yes, is a release of the answer scheduled ?

No... Hint: Think about a different wording for each of their jobs, and then think about where all these descriptions meet.

Come on, just guess. I'll give you hints if necessary :D

Hm, interesting lineup but are you sure you didn't forget one band ? :D

Cemeteries of London vs. Hey Brother (Avicii)

LOL, I know that study ! :D Wow, did Coldplay really order the pizza ?? Where have you read that ? Did that really happen ? :shocked2: Officer...So this made me think of Sergeant Pepper, the Beatles album. The Beatles have been recording in the Abbey Road Studios. Abbey Road is a street in London, and I believe it is close to another street called Violet Hill. New word: desk

I agree that the lyrics of Amsterdam are good, and both this line as well as "Stood on the edge.." and "sick of your secrets" are things I can relate to as well. However, I don't like the song musically. It only takes off at the very end, the first half has nearly no melody.

Welcome, and great to see another Oldplayer here ! Oldplay 4ever :D

Cemeteries of London vs. Dancing Bear (The Mamas and the Papas)

but I won't be defeated oh nooooo

Quite a few band photos have the 4 of them sitting next to each other on a couch :D New word: pizza By the way The Adversary, may I ask you to explain how lemonade relates to A View From The Top ? :D

That oral sugeon must have a good music taste, LOL Yeah, when Coldplay songs come up out of nowhere during our daily routines that's always magic.

Now this opinion might spark controversy among you, BUT... Seriously, what are you thinking when you keep talking about his body ? You complain about the superficial "news" that boulevard papers like to post, but your way of talking about him is just as superficial. I would have thought as Coldplay fans you like Chris Martin as a human being, maybe like a brother, or at the most have a little crush on him. That you like him for his beautiful mind and way to see the world, and his beautiful voice. But this way of explicitly talking about his body or hoping for shirtless pictures coming up on the Internet makes me feel uncomfortable. It feels wrong ! It is wrong !

So it's not something Coldplay made ? That explains why there never was an indication of who the woman was who actually sang this. I always wondered !

Amsterdam - your star is clearly fading. Save In My Place ! The melody, that crooning - a great song it is.

Now I'm curious, can you recommend a particularly good (rocky) one ?

Yeah, I agree. If these dreamy, heavy guitar sounds from the outro had featured in the intro and AIMH as well, it would have made for a better sound.

Well that would be a great side effect, and will in all probability be a keep us busy during the wait for LP9 :D By the way, just saying: I love this game, even though it is at times a bit painful. Should you ever feel tired of "managing" it, I'll back you up. This epic game shall not die before it has been played :D

Throughout one's life, windows open and close. And I don't mean those in buildings, but I mean the opportunities that arise and may shortly after be gone. This made me think about Coldplay's career and how they used the window opening up to them in the late 90s post-Britpop era to prove the world that they can create damn good music. It also makes me think that later on, after Viva, there was a window open for them to stay on the same artistically deep level, but instead they chose the stadium pop path, and I'm afraid that window has now closed on them. :( Anyway, new word: lemonade

I support the best B-sides round at the end ! And I'd also be all for a Live albums elimination game as I've said before. where ratings are not based on which songs you like but which performances were the best/worst.

Hmm, a notebook is in all probability one of the places were Chris writes down lyric ideas that come to him for example in the night or when he is not in the studio - besides the wall, his hands etc. :D my word: elevator

Pyramid made me think of two things: the Pyramid Song by Radiohead, who have been a major influence to the early Coldplay. Also, Coldplay at the Pyramid Stage at Glastonbury 2005 was one of the best shows in history ! my word: hall
