I Agree! I'm actually mostly better but still sad at times when I think of it, it was an exact day which was why I was more sad! I have the opposite problem, the sun sounds here to much. And of course the only rain we get was on the weekend. Can't ever rain during school of course. Ughhhhhh I'd take all your rain in a heartbeat... It sucks when the sun shines during that time... I hope it goes away for you soon. And comes for me soon. Except now it'll probably be snow because it's getting that time of year again........... Then again it did rain on that exact day which was fitting... Same I wouldn't care, in fact I'd be happy... Me: "finally got a day without sun" lol :D

Our Lady Peace

Yeah but that would be noticeable, I need it at 72 BPM...

And sometimes in your eyes, I see the beauty of the world

But just stay down!!!!! :D

At first I was like "what kind of band has a song name that long to have to put into that many initials..." And had no idea what it was till I read the other post you replied to :laugh4:

I pretty much have every genre except like...I don't know, dubstep? Screamo? More normal forms of a lot of genres, usually they're blended in to be more of the genres I like. So yeah. Including punk. :D

Sounds very nice, but had to look it up elsewhere because some idiot decided Canada wasn't cool enough to be allowed to listen to it :(

Kind of same actually!!

The song I had in mind was a very rare one, "Your World Turned Upside Down/The World Turns Upside Down". Not to be confused with the B side of a similar name! Look up those words on YouTube, I believe it was only performed live and someone got it recorded, so thankful they were there to get this for us :) My Valentine my only one (Valentine - DIIV) Also, can anyone help me with In My Place? For more detail just go to the Coldplay sub forum or whatever than it will say something about it and the thread posted by me. This is urgent!!!!!

'Til Kingdom Come For you I'd wait, 'til kingdom come Until my day, my day is done And say you'll come, and set me free Just say you'll wait, you'll wait for me vs God Put A Smile Upon Your Face Where do we go? Nobody knows I've gotta say I'm on my way down God give me style and give me grace God put a smile upon my face

66682 Yeah see, everything is fixed now. We would have counted 999999 when it would have actually been end game!! (Man this is going to take forever... The ops guess was a decade, were 6 years in plus and we're only just above a twentieth of the way done, a far cry from 500000, at this rate were getting this done around 2090 or some insane number like that, imagine the world by then.......)

Cool, am glad. It's not bad, might even consider adding it to mine! :D Rihanna

How about they just release every single song they've worked on in addition to these songs that got finished but never made the cut even as a B sides. Like the X&Y ones. It would be EPIC to hear those. And try to finish unfinished songs. Btw your missing alternate version of Spies, and your love means everything part 2.

Don't know where else to put it so just putting in here for now, feel free to move if this deserves a better place :D Hi. Need some help. There is project I am working on and the program used to do it does not support non integer BPM. (For anyone interested what it is, with Garageband you have to recreate a drum track for 45 second straight, for this I chose In My Place) in my place hasa a weird BPM and my drum track does not exactly align with it, it's fine at the start but then it starts lagging, I have my drums set to exactly 72 BPM but the song goes either a little faster or slower so I need help on making a version that's exactly 72bpm so it will work. Doesn't need to be Garageband, audacity would be best so I can just do it here, slap it on Google drive and download it when I get to class tomorrow. This is urgent!!! My project is due soon so I need an answer really quickly. Thanks for anyone pointing me in the right direction.... **UPDATE** no more help needed, I found an alternate solution. All is good now! :)

I smashed my phone screen attempting to hit the like button. Jk But seriously, well written post. One thing I have to say, THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU SO MUCH for including MX in the good albums. It is criminally underrated by most Oldplayers in the forum and I'm glad you're not one of them. :D One thing though, I also agree with @coldplayisawesome's post, currently they have A Head Full Of Dreams right now :D I do kind of agree, especially during this era it had absolutely been beaten to death but yours is acceptable because you're praising MX. I really like those eras too. The more I think about it, the more it seems they were special and this is gravitating towards a radio friendly sound a bit much... I know right! I first joined the forum during the first real hype event, when those pics were leaked from India that turned out to be the HFTW video. We started going crazy with ideas that they might explore diverse influences once more and that this is the real Coldplay album and this is the return to VLVODAAHF and that all was going to be okay! One person however, @Saket, was hinting otherwise though, saying stuff like "the song had the opposite of X&Y track in it" (we now know it's the opposite of Low) and that there was a famous female singer involved here he thought (later revealed to be Beyoncé). And here we were, still daydreaming about what it could be, going as far as to say they'd be exploring 432hz (I seen someone comment this so yeah...) Then Nov 6 rolls around and these hopes and dreams were shattered for some people, hearing about Stargate and Beyoncé and that crap... Massive let down to those of us who thought it would be VLV 2.0. And we were so silly to imagine them exploring the alternate 432hz deal! What were we thinking? :laugh3: I agree, Stargate was an awful choice for producer. Now we have no B sides from the era which we even had at least one from the eras before. Some absolutely beautiful and epic songs id be willing to bet got thrown away for not sounding "commercial" or "poppy" enough. (Just imagine, some work of art like Moving to Mars or Atlas could have been completely trashed and burned, never to be seen or even thought about again in favor of X Marks The Spot (Army Of One for you especially...) :bigcry: :bigcry: :bigcry:) I actually like HFTW but for the most part it is not strong artistically. Lyrically it is very weak for our standards based on Coldplay's past work and honestly sounds much too commercial and cheap for such a more capable band to be making overall. I will say that there are elements that do set it apart from most other mainstream tracks tho, like the glass tapping and that weird guitar thing Jonny does at the end... Those would never have any chance of appearing in another mainstream track. Overall even though it isn't nearly as good as truly diverse stuff it just had this exotic flavor to it, for some reason I can't explain... These are Things That I Don't Understand!!! :D it's like Coldplay's version of cheap mainstream top 40 electro bubble gum pop sprinkled with exotic influences that we thought would appear but not as subdued... It makes the track more fun and listenable for me besides it just being a fun thing in the first place for me personally. But I could see why you would hate it... After all, the original lyric was "drinks on me" and inspired by the fact that Coldplay apparently doesn't have a late night club song that today you need to have to be percieved as "cool"... When Coldplay doesn't need to have one to be loved. Sucks though that they get their inspiration from songs like "Turn Down For What" instead of the music from Radiohead and such now. (BTW, I used to act like your typical young idiot and go blast it in people's faces with my dad as we drove by them... I still do kind of like it but admit artistically it's one of the worst songs I've heard.) I wouldn't quite say that. He still acknowledges influences outside of the mainstream (though don't get me wrong, most of it is plastic throwaway pop acts nowadays it seems) I also wouldn't agree with that they're writing flat stale boring melodies. In my opinion they definitely are not what they once were (I mean come on there are only so many melodies, maybe that's why music is crap nowadays, because all of the good stuff had been used up... :() But they still frequently write nice melodies as they've always done, which is why I still do like the album. Lyrically speaking, it's gone down a bit as well especially with songs like Hymn but it's still not that bad especially when compared with most chart songs today...I mean just look at them, Coldplay isn't obviously mentioning anything bad are they? An exception being Hymn but other than that? True that. If anyone thinks AHFOD is bad play any random song on the charts. Typically a million times worse easily. Wish we could turn back time, to da good ol days... (Quote from an actually good song that is an exception from what we're talking about here.) I agree with everything here. Want to especially make a comment on MX. I do agree with that you've said!! It was a pop rock, you know dare I say it alternative pop rock with art influences album (look at the background of some tracks, you'll see what I'm talking about, it sounds truly outstanding...) Which was really exciting for me. The colourfulness of the synths, all the elements blended together so perfectly... This is definitely the album where they were the best at making pleasing melodies and chord progressions, that's for sure.. It feels so good. It rocked hard and hit harder. Real music. It sounded different, wild even, the MX era was epic. Wish I was around for it, I discovered them in between the Viva and MX eras. Ughhhhhh want to slap myself for not getting truly into them sooner!!!!! :( It was a form of pop rock that was different. A very unique alternative rock form of it. I hate when people say MX is pop because it simply isn't true with the exception of a couple songs. It was surely their first with a bigger and admittedly popp-ier sound. But not "pop". No. It isn't true. I love it so much for these reasons And totally agree agree with you. AHFOD is MX with added Stargate pop overproduction and minus the rock edge and complete awesomeness. Least Brian Eno was there for MX, probably the whole reason it was awesome for those epic sounds in the background. The new album in comparison feels watered down and to be honest dull and boring. Let the music EXPLODE!!!! That was what MX is about. They held back to much on AHFOD as many songs do, trading it in for catchiness instead like many songs nowadays. That is why MX works. It actually blows up and does not hold back. Good, at least your not leaving. While writing this post I thought I better ask you to not leave (don't leave..... Don't leave.... By the way, how would you react if all of a sudden Coldplay released a song like the one just referenced?? Surely wouldn't leave then :D :D :D that would be EPIC!!! They need to follow the lights which will also ignite their bones. And we need to try.... To fix you, Chris Martins musical tastes :D :D :D

The days overall have been going super fast. Starting to wonder if some alien races is controlling our mind to speed up time and that's why it never happened before Hopefully I get to see them next year :D

This made my day tho :laugh3:

Up with the Birds. The greatest work of art to ever exist.

!!!!! What... If there was one era I'd make sure to store correctly it would be MX!! (Not meant to offend lol) Whattttttt there's now a Sparks EP...??? You must have absolutely everything Coldplay have released and more lol... That image isn't showing for me

I didn't know what he was saying in Fix You for the longest time either... "Just watch it work" but I heard "worth" sometimes so it made no sense... Until someone brought up the actual lyrics in the War of Coldplay lyrics thread, "Just what you're worth" Makes so much more sense now LOL :lol: And I've known the song for over a year... And only since a few days ago know every single lyric, but is my 6th fav Coldplay song :embarrassed:

Soldiers, you've got to soldier on

Ooh fair enough that song does actually have those lyrics in it... But believe it or not there's actually another Coldplay song I was thinking of :D Speak softly, love and hold me warm against your heart (Speak Softly Love - Andy Williams)

You don't have to be on your own :)

Down here, where I cannot see so clear
