Yes, that's it! It's really hard to find a hard one.

Ahh I know that feeling[emoji16]

This is really beautiful, I wish I knew someone who liked to climb mountains, I feel like being on the top of a mountain has something magic to it[emoji4]

Ohh I have so many pictures for this, I love nature[emoji1] I'll start with these pictures I took last week in England: A few weeks earlier in Germany:

I feel the same sometimes. I'll finish school next year and I don't think I've really found my passion yet, I'm so scared of ending up doing something I'm not that good at or don't like. I feel like all of a sudden it'll be so many responsibilities I never had in my life before. And there's also so many things about my personality and personal life I haven't figured out yet. It's so easy to drown in anxiety about the future especially if you don't really have someone close who you feel like you can talk to, but part of me deep down just believes (also from experience) that in the end most things figure themselves out somehow and aren't as bad as they once seemed. It's really great to have a place like Coldplaying where you can just be yourself and talk about whatever you really feel like without feeling awkward for it.[emoji4]

Major Minus?

Happy Birthday to the gorgeous Will, the best drummer in the world![emoji322]

Talk?

Wow, how beautiful! I love mountains, and nature in general. It makes me so happy. [emoji4]

Remember the reason why you're there, you get to see Coldplay! Once the show starts it doesn't matter anymore anyway, you become one with the music and rest of the audience (my experience at least). And I'm sure you're not the only one who's there alone, maybe you can try to find someone else and talk to them (if you're not as shy as I am), discuss something about coldplay;) And the person who didn't want to come with you is the one who should feel bad, he doesn't even know what he's missing out on!

Everglow?

Yes! Your turn.

[emoji288] [emoji8] [emoji102] In case you can't see it:

I gave the album a quick listen yesterday and really enjoyed it a lot. Idk what my favorite song from it is, but I defenitly love Boys That Sing a lot. I also watched the version Coldplay did at Glasto again yesterday and it made me really emotional[emoji22]

Magic - the song and what they do to us

42?

I wish they would do something like this, or release a album with all the unreleased tracks. I would die to finally hear Car Kids, the full version of Famous Old Painters and so many more we maybe have never even heard of. But realisticly I don't think something like this will happen sometime soon, but you never know... I at least hope for some special/deluxe edition of whatever album with some b-sides we've never beard before.

Lovers In Japan? Or Viva La Vida?

I probably don't have a realistic chance since I don't have any amazing stories like making new Coldplayer friends, or being front row or doing the intro video or whatever, but If you never try you'll never know and I love writing about my experience anyway, so here you go: June 1st in Gelsenkirchen was my first concert ever in my life. I didn't think this would actually happen, but I couldn't give up obviously and eventually I managed to get tickets and find a way to get there and felt like the happiest person in the world[emoji16] Sadly I couldn't arrive early and queue cause I had school in the morning and the drive with all the traffic took around 4 hours. I would have loved to get to know other Coldplayers while waiting and get further to the front. But it turned out FOS2 was NOT on the front of the stage anyway, which was considering that the prices for FOS1 and FOS2 seemed to be the same kind of annoying. But aside with the negative things, the most important thing for me was that I got to see Coldplay. I remember when I was handed my loVe button and xyloband I got so incredibly excited, I always dreamt of having one. After buying overexpensive merch and finding our place in the stadium Alessia Cara also started soon. I liked her a lot actually. Most people say they liked Lianne La Havas better, but I really enjoyed her music and could relate to many of her songs and she seemed like a really nice person to me. Sadly her set was only really short. Here's a picture I took while she was on: (Really bad quality I know haha) I enjoyed Lianne as well, her music wasn't exactly my thing though but she has a really great voice. After that we had to wait a little and excitement was growing more and more as 9pm came closer. Here's a picture of the roadies building up the stage (I didn't take any pictures later cause I wanted to focus on nothing but coldplay and apart from that my phone had no energy left): And the excitedly waiting crowd: Then it was time. O babbino mio (is that what it's called?) started and I knew it would only be seconds until Coldplay. Then it became dark and the Great Dictator speech fading into the AHFOD intro with the whole crowd lighting up red and OMG I almost died. I had dreamt of this moment so often watching it on YouTube or Periscope. My first time seeing the magic with my own eyes. It was crazy and that was the moment when I started to totally forget about reality and arrived in the colorful paradise of a Coldplay show where we all are “one big family” to quote Chris. I danced, sung and screamed like nobody was watching or hearing and didn't care that the crowd around me was mostly rather boring, only clapping and moving a little but mostly filming. I felt like I had finally arrived at my home. To be honest at the beginning it was a really strange feeling to see them in real life even though I wasn't that close. I've watched so many videos but that they were actually THERE as real persons gave me this strange excited feeling in my stomach. It was incredible to hear Yellow live for the first time and I loved when the crowd started singing pretty loud at the end of The Scientist so even Chris got surprised. ETIAW and Birds makes two more of my favorite songs ever hearing live. ETIAW actually means quite a lot to me cause it always helps me through hard times and I can relate to it so much. And I love Chris getting silly and running around with the flag, putting it over his head etc.[emoji23] A Coldplay concert probably also is the only concert where you see the frontman laying and rolling around on the stage and I freaking love it! It shows us that sometimes we should take things too seriously[emoji6] The Paradise remix was just… wow. This is one of the most amazing additions they made to this tour imo, even though I’d wish for a more rocky song like Violet Hill or GPASUYF to dance to this was just incredible. The energy and magic of it can't be described in words. When they moved to the B-Stage I sadly couldn't see too much anymore, but it was still amazing. I loved when the piano was broken (why does it always break during Everglow?) and Chris decided to tell a joke and then play Lovers in Japan first. At first I didn't realize they would have played it anyway, but I felt really blessed to get to hear LiJ live. VLVODAAHF is my favorite album and this song would have been my second choice for the song request (I requested Gravity) so it totally made up for not being chosen (what I didn't really expect to happen anyway). One of my favorite things were the lasers first during Clocks (and the drums+piano on it, incredible!) and during Midnight, they just looked so cool like landing in another world… And then Charlie Brown started. (Now I still expect Charlie Brown to start every time I listen to Midnight[emoji23] ) That was one of the moments I looked forward to the most, the xylobands and dancing to Charlie Brown. I went completely crazy haha[emoji1] It's like the xylobands are made for that song. I feel like the xylobands are just a whole new level of connecting the band and the audience and creating visuals, I'm still really proud of my guys for introducing this awesomeness to the world.[emoji16] And getting to hear Fix You (my favorite song) live for the first time and singing the Viva chant with the rest of the crowd was one of those moments as well. Fix You means more to me than words will ever be able to describe, it still feels surreal that I heard it live. And VLV is probably my second favorite song, the strings take me straight into a different world and I think it's one of the best songs ever written. The Heroes cover was incredible, I'm glad they choose to always do it. Part of me just kind of hoped they played Raspberry Beret cause it's my favorite Prince song and I love the piano version they do. Chris Martin is probably the only person in the world who can make 50,000 people duck down on the floor and jump up at command. I love him so much and I will always connect "abajooo" with that even though he of course says it in English now haha[emoji23] I just wished the AOAL ballons had reached us and I could have taken one home! The C-Stage part was really amazing even though the request was with In My Place not as overwhelming as I hoped to (But still really great if course!). But they played Don't Panic. Which means… JONNY SINGING! and freaking out to it after Chris told us to! See You Soon of course was amazing as well, hearing Oldplay live is always great. All in all I felt pretty lucky with the setlist. But then sadly the show was approaching its end, but that also meant a few more of my favorite songs. Amazing Day means quite a lot to me recently plus the Buckin aww. And later Chris climbed up the stage behind Will and kind of sat down there while singing which I found pretty cute. ASFOS. One more song to go crazy to with dancing (just like Chris) and it was so beautiful with the lights, stage visuals and star confetti. The whole audience was A Sky Full Of Stars and we got lighter the more it got dark[emoji6] Then it was time for Up&Up. My favorite song from AHFOD, its message is just so amazing and Jonny’s solos! I was so sad it was over but I think it's the most amazing thing of them to do to close with that line “BELIEVE IN LOVE” with the whole crowd screaming. It's like their ultimate message, what they want all of us to take home from the concert. I love it so much, that's one of those things that makes me think “How can they even be so fucking perfect??” Sorry, fangirl mode.[emoji16] All in all, it was the best night of my life, the most amazing experience I ever had. I remember in an interview Chris once said they want to make the fans feel like they've landed in a different world or something like this and they totally accomplished that. I kind of expected to get this post-concert-depression thing afterwards but I totally didn't. Actually I was the happiest I've ever been in my life after it for a few months, it's like they left this little spark in me, it's magic. Chris found the right word for it with “Everglow”. And I'm also discovering what their message means for my life more and more. And actually, how could I ever have been sad after being able to see my favorite people in the world, the people who inspire me to anything I do and to be the best version of myself?

Maybe we should screenshot the emojis and post a picture instead?

Have a great time @I ran away! I hope for you and all of us they'll play your favorite song[emoji16]

I'm currently listening to my new Mylo Xyloto CD and dancing and singing to Paradise[emoji16] (That's my idea of a great Friday night haha)

Ohh I love how that sounds[emoji4] Abenteuer einer Lebenszeit I Ran Away
