Winner!!!! [emoji16][emoji1][emoji4] I ran away, that's the good thing about doing that. Everything is nice and fresh and sounds even better. That's why I rarely listen to my favorite songs. I only listen to UWTB maybe once a month or two, despite it being my favorite song ever made. It's the type of song that's extremely special for me and reserved for special occasions. This way I know it'll stay that way for a while [emoji4] Sent from my SM-G930W8 using Coldplaying mobile app

Oh no, what? Keane broke up? What a shame... I've heard they are really good. Never bothered to check them out though even till now. I should get on it lol. Sorry if I sound ignorant, I know very little about this band! I'm glad I get to go to one of their concerts in what I assume will be one of the last for this tour. It's been such a big massive tour and it's near the end of the dates they're playing so I assume it'll be one of the last we see from this era. It's a shame I didn't become a fan earlier, I hope Coldplay will be one of those bands that last an extremely long time, and I don't doubt it considering after all these years they still have their original members and conflict has been reduced to zero! I'll honestly be surprised if they do break up any time soon, they don't seem like the type to do so very easily. LRLArchi, no I did not know that! When was this? Can't believe I still have a bit more to explore as far as Coldplay songs go... Sent from my SM-G930W8 using Coldplaying mobile app

The closest thing I've been in that you could maybe call a desert is the area around and in the city of Kamloops BC, in Canada. It's a gorgeous spot and I have been there a few times. Great memories. It can get extremely hot in the summer though and it is pretty deserty, the surrounding country even has rattlesnakes!! So for any of you who think Canada is solely cold, think again! Visit this place in the summertime. I don't know if it's officially a desert but it's close enough for me [emoji23] Sq Sent from my SM-G930W8 using Coldplaying mobile app

This brings my mind to another example of this. Anyone interested, look up "Over My Head" by The Fray. Listen from about 3:30 till the end of when most of the instruments drop out. Take note of the piano melody in the background. Then look up "Closer" by The Chainsmokers if you haven't heard it already. The main melody in the chorus of that song is virtually the same as the piano melody just heard earlier in The Fray's song. It's funny because I never even really noticed that part of the song before until now as being something catchy pop wise, even until a while after Chainsmokers song was released. Only just recently did I notice when I was listening to Over My Head that that part was the same. I'm not sure if there's anything happening or that has happened legally speaking between the two yet, after all it could be another coincidence because the melody in question is quite simple and I'm sure more than two artists have came up with it on their own. But that's a whole nother case so I won't say much more about it. Just throwing another example out there to show that similar melodies in completely different songs style wise isn't exclusive to the main case in this thread.

Yup. But nothing lasts forever, and that's just the way it is. Sent from my SM-G930W8 using Coldplaying mobile app

Lol I think there was even an lp9 thread or something but that got shut down immediately before anyone else even noticed [emoji23] That brings up the question... When is he going to mean it? It's not like they can make music forever... [emoji46][emoji20][emoji45] Sent from my SM-G930W8 using Coldplaying mobile app

Welcome ljb23! I've done that as well in other things to and even lurked the forums for a few days before I signed up... The thing that pushed me to sign up was the hype of AHFOD because of the India pics so yeah Sent from my SM-G930W8 using Coldplaying mobile app

Confusion - Alice in Chains Who's one of your favorite people?

Yeah, It would take forever to get new releases from them. But let's face it. Quality over quantity. I'd much rather have them try something new every album and be quite adventerous with their music, incorporating exotic and experimental influences and such, even though we may only get an album every 4 or 5 years than a band releasing stuff even poppier than AHFOD every year or so and barely changing their sound between albums. It takes time to make an album that's legitimately unique, interesting, and exciting. Look at Radiohead. So far post OK Computer, not counting Kid A and Amnesiac because they came from virtually the same point in time, we have releases from 2003, 2007, 2011, and 2016. These four albums are tops when it comes to excitement, innovation, originiality, genuity and true artistry. You can't just snap your fingers and come up with albums like the four I'm talking about. Now take a look at Rihanna's studio album releases, for example: Music of the Sun: August 12, 2005 A Girl like Me: April 11, 2006 (less than 8 months after her first album!!!) Good Girl Gone Bad: June 5, 2007 (1 year and less than 2 months) Rated R: November 23, 2009 (2 years and almost 6 months) Loud: November 16, 2010 (a little less than a year) Talk That Talk: November 21, 2011 (a little over a year) Unapologetic: November 19, 2012 (a little less than a year) Anti: January 28, 2016 (3 years and a little over 2 months!!!) Now, you may be wondering why I bolded this last one. It's obvious compared to the others that this took a while to come. But note that on this album, besides Work she wasn't trying to make songs solely for radio. (And to be fair, that "Work" song doesn't sound like a typical radio song. Annoying? Yes. Unoriginal? By no means.) It may not be our style of music but even without listening to any of the other albums my guess is that this album is more adventurous then her previous ones. I've listened to quite a few songs from this album and most of them I kinda liked, but not too too much, but the stars for me were "Never Ending" and "Close To You". Genuine, heartfelt, melancholic beauty with the latter even incorporating a tad bit of ambient influence. If you thought all of Rihanna's songs are solely for radio, these two at least will prove you dead wrong! Enough about Rihanna. I was just making a comparison. The point is, formulaic pop music is just that, it follows a formula to get it on radio and to get the masses to enjoy it. It doesn't take that much effort, time, or originality. With a bit of knowledge anyone could do it. We all know how the radio sounds, and in recent years all of it's starting to sound pretty similar with typical tricks of the trade being present in almost all of them. (Looking for an exception? "This Town" by Niall Horan. An acoustic, stripped down piece that did get kind of popular. I'm surprised they didn't throw in an electro beat 20 seconds into the song and I'm glad they didn't. It's beautiful the way it is!) However, when it comes to legendary albums like we get from Radiohead, it takes a bit more thinking, to put it very lightly.
