Do something that's never been done

Or write a song nobody has sung

Guys, with all this talk about what the lyrics say, I haven't seen anyone bring up the point that we now have a pretty good idea of what the font looks like...

Chris singing in high voice because that's who Chris really is....it's what distinguishes him and makes him unique. MX Comics vs MX Pop-up Book

That's a unique way to look at it, and I think you could be right! :)

Great job, atlas2000! That's such a clear picture....glad you found it!

Do you feel like a puzzle, you can't find your missing piece? God I love those lines

Haha yeah that's true!! What a coincidence!

Coldplay because it's so unique....it wasn't a word before the boys started using it (well, I guess it was, but that was a different band, so it doesnt count ;) ) Last verse of Square One vs last verse of White Shadows

Or do, something that's never been done

Alright, first I'd like to say thanks to whoever/whatever merged my new thread with the old one of the same name....I guess its all in one place now :) Here goes....it's gonna be long.... I had never really been someone who listened to music while growing up. "What is your favorite band?" was always the dreaded question because I didn't have one. However, there were three songs that I remember hearing at different times while growing up that I remembered liking, but I never looked into them any further than just hearing them one time on the tv or something. I don't remember where i heard the first two of the three songs, but when I heard them again later on, I remembered them. Back in the winter of 2011-2012, I would go to this indoor golf place (I know that sounds weird, but it exists) once a week to practice. The guy always had the radio on, and this is where the third song comes into play. I remember hoping each time I went that this one song that sounded so amazing would cone on the radio. I couldn't make out the words until i finally heard "Para Para Paradise." I would stop what I was doing just to listen to this song. I may have gone home one night and Googled it, but, if I did, it was just to see who performed it (a name i didn't commit to memory) and never listen to it again. Fast forward to the summer of 2014. I still wasn't someone who listened to music, but that summer, I had a job with my city's Parks and Rec department. I was on a crew with 3 other kids, and the crew lead would always have the radio on in the truck. This got me interested in music, so, at the end of the summer, I found the app, Spotify, and downloaded it. At this point I still didn't know what my musical interests were, so I was just playing a random playlist in Spotify and on came the song from the golf place!!! I immediately added it to my playlist. I found a playlist that was just Coldplay songs, and the first two it played were the two I remember hearing while growing up: Clocks and Viva la Vida.....so I guess you could say it is instinctive for me to like Coldplay ;) I think I added about 4 Coldplay songs to my playlist (Paradise, VLV, Clocks, ASFOS), but i didn't think much more of this band until I was sitting in the library with my friend one day. We were listening to music on her phone, and I suggested we scroll to a random song and play whatever her finger lands on. After twice landing on songs from the permanently downloaded U2 album, she landed on a song by that band I sort of liked: Coldplay. This song was called Talk, and it was what really hooked me on Coldplay....for reasons I probably don't have to explain. That night, I went home and watched the music video and I thought it was really strange. "I better not let anyone know that i like this band because they seem really weird" is what I thought. In the next few days, I kept playing Coldplay songs until I had about 25 new ones added to my playlist. I didn't really add more for about another 6 months until it was close to my birthday. I was wanting to ask for a Coldplay album (CD) for my birthday, so I wanted to listen to all the songs from the album (MX) that contained my favorite song. From there, I just kept on listening to all the Coldplay I could find, and the rest is history..... :)

Roadie 42 because at least he's still around Viva chant vs Para Para Paradise

I vote for Parachutes....not the best album....not the best b-sides....does not compare to the other eras

Swallowed in the Sea

How did you discover Coldplay?? So I haven't really seen a thread like this aside from peoples' own introductions if they decided to include their story, and I thought peoples' stories would be interesting to hear. So, like the title says, how did you discover Coldplay? Were you introduced to them by a friend? Did you just happen to hear a song? What was the first song/music video you remember hearing/seeing? Etc? I'll share my story later....didn't want to make the first post be too long... :)

Wow, I thought Coldplay made up that triangle.....I didnt know it was a real thing!!

I second that except replace Swallowed in the Sea with White Shadows

Yeah, I think when the festival was just starting, I saw someone post that there were 84ish people on here and I remember thinking that was kind of low

Sorry to be off topic, but as an American, its so weird to see "fantasy football" but its the football that you play with feet, not american football.....haha sorry I'm tired, so I guess I think this is funny

Cool! I was wondering if you were able to see stats like that!!

Well it's almost midnight (haha) where I am, so i have to say goodnight! It was an incredible experience witnessing Coldplay perform for the first time since I became a fan....and I can't wait until Global Citizen next week!!

Has Chris always had that tattoo on his arm?

Amazing....thank you!!!

We need to get one changed.....Sparky, are you listening? ;)

Hahaha should have been stephend2000
