When I heard they were going to perform at St.John church a night before my birthday,it was like they were connected to me, when I saw the first performance of Up&Up at Belasco Theatre it was one of the best feelings of my life...!

At the end of this year,which was the best thing related to Coldplay that happened to you?

I play guitar,basic chords and sheets,just for my soul,I've learned it many years ago,I wish I had improved but I was into other things and didn't have time to practice a lot. Anyway it's great to be able to play Coldplay songs whenever I want :-)

1.White Masai, 2. Prayer and selfknowing 3. Christmas story (by Charles Dickens) is waiting to be read :)

Parachutes- sculpture of their music, something eternal, out of reach, out of comparison to any other thing, deepnes, intimacy, search, way through a tunnel, belief in beauty, but not seeing it still.. AROBTTH-after Parachutes holding me on the sky, this album was very grounding for me, more realistic and profane, The Scientist and AROBTTH have led me to Parachutes, the lyrics of Clocks are the best lyrics ever (although I don`t love the melody, never managed to love it despite its popularity ), but the whole album didn`t really fell into my heart, something was missing a little. X&Y- it was back to Parachutes somehow, to that sweet sadness and beauty, but with more light and optimism, great songs, great lyrics, guitars, feeling of hope and love. LOVE this album :) VIVA- for me it was more rock album than others, a bit strange atmosphere, like I couldn`t get the point of it, like they were singing about something reserved only for them, dark album, not so close to me but I like that it was different to others, still with quality and Coldplay sound. MYLO- beautiful album, one of the best, very close to me, full of energy, it moves me on, lifts me with flow of fight against everything, helps me to resist, to perserve, very hopeful and spiritual songs Up with birds, U.F.O., Us against the world, powerful messages in Every teardrop and Hurts like heaven, brilliant album, music, lyrics, guitars, makes me happy! Ghost Stories: the whole album is really a gost story, story of human`s soul, of our past that shapened us, and now we are awakening that memories, that awareness, suffer, but with elements of hope, love, of sense and reasons for everything. Intimate story that touches me, every song is like a reveal, like a diary, that album touches me deeply, very poetic and spiritual moments with O, True Love, Ink, well even the artwork and every song from this album are heavenly. The words can`t explain :) AHFOD-a little different album more open to wide audience, not only Coldplayers used to their sound and their beauty, an album also open to dancing which is my great passion and hobby, it`s a moving and lifting album, with some special wonders like Up&UP, Birds, Everglow, well... good job ;) :)

What do you think, where does that connection between illuminati and music industry come from? Is that all real? Illuminati might have something to do with music industry,right? If not,why would anyone mention them..? I don't include Coldplay there because it can't be true,but the whole illuminati thing in music makes me wonder.."what if" ;)

Thanks to everyone,your wishes are really great.. Enjoy this day and "Believe in Magic..."like Coldplay said. Everything is possible,especially on Christmas Day :)

Merry Christmas everyone!! I wish you a real meaning of Christmas, True Love inside of you and outside for the others, Christmas Lights that keep shining on your life! :arobtth::gs::mx::parachutes::vlv::x&y:

I agree with you partially, that`s what I said through my posts about genetic predispositions and personality.. :)

Hello, welcome! Enjoy your time here :D

Yes. But it`s also solving your problems during that introspection. Becoming aware of your problems or difficulties and not only introspecting them, but solving them without forcing and changing your life by becoming free, free from the inside of you. As I said above, I recommend a great writer,teacher, psychologist and priest Anthony de Mello. All of his books, especially Awakening Awareness talks about these things and really explains life in an unique, original, deep but understandable way. So may be you should look for it on the internet or library, I think you won`t regret.

:D Yes, great quote ;)

Yes,I think it is focusing on present,but above that,being aware of your emotions,thoughts,actions,getting to know yourself deeply and your surrounding also,and that probably would lead towards getting aware of soul,spiritual life,God or eternity.

Speaking of mindfulness,have you read Wakening Awareness by Anthony de Mello? He speaks about that and his other books also do.

I totally agree. People usually don`t take time to search within themselves, especially I`ve never seen "a star", music or a movie star, who reflects and goes deep so much as Chris does. I admire that they dare to be themselves in the world of music industry full of trends which promote power, ego and sex through music and music videos. Among all of that Coldplay shows up with flowers, angels wings and stars promoting compassion, humbleness, thoughtfulness, friendship and brotherhood. All of that is not done randomly just by case, sometimes it seems that they intentionally work on that. Like they work on a mission of sending message to the world and leaving signs of love everywhere. I see how it is hard in everyday life when you care about details and show emotions and affection, when you try to live a deeper meaning, it may be strange and unusual. I can imagine what it`s been like for them in music industry before, apart from becoming popular and awarded they also showed their humbleness, truthfulness and vulnerabity.

Why?
