Politik. It only takes 2 seconds for the concussive force to hit; Square One takes almost a minute. ;) Don't Panic is still a great song, and I loved how it opened "Garden State." They are just sooo close.

Holy crap, is that a picture I took?! It looks to me like it is, especially because of the blurryness and double images... No, it isn't... though it does look a LOT like this one I took, only mirrored.

"The sky could fall... parting of the sea" is an obvious allusion to Moses, just like "climb a ladder up to the sun" in Talk is an allusion to Ladder to the Sun. I'm not sure why Chris did it, but I kinda like how he's referring to older songs.

I still want the music you used for the synth... if that's alright.

That was so amazing. You could just hear everyone cheer when he said it. ^_^

Blue and red!

^_^ I'm putting all this stuff on my hand and going around as Chris for halloween. :lol: Seriously, I am.

But Til Kingdom Come is a guitar song! :p oh, can you scan the Hardest Part? Thats the last piano song I need to learn from X&Y.

It's not "just the good days?!" but it makes so much sense! *runs off to check Absolution sleeve* EDIT: Of course it is. I must have misread what you meant. XD

Barenaked Ladies - Grade 9 Barenaked Ladies - One Week Our Lady Peace - 4AM

Chris - Gwyn Jonny - Chris Guy - berrywoman Will - ...?

It's all of the surface and the underneath, then something that sounds a little like "searching a meadow" or whatnot.

I said the second 365 degrees...

Didn't Parachutes have Japanese Bonus Tracks too? I think I read somewhere that "For You" was one and that there were like 3 or so.

"I'll be waiting in line, just to see if you care" - Shiver. I know it's care, because it fits with the context of the previous lines, but people often think it's can. I'm also convinced the chorus of The World Turned Upside Down is "pilots up and away they fly" It makes sense, unlike "Hide and sob and away they fly" Also, I still don't know what Chris sings after the second "365 degrees". It's defintely not "searching your mellow and outsings your key, ah" Low: "Death is throwing your arms around" I hear "(see it come down) there for throwing your arms around" Makes more sense. Sorry if I turned this into a criticize the tracksearch thread. XD Sometimes you just don't know with Chris though. It would help if he put lyrics in the CD Sleeve.

Stockholm Syndrome's my fav from Absolution. Ok, I have a new question: what are the best songs to hear Chris sing on? So far I've found that he's very audible on Escape, but most of the time he's overpowered by Matt (ie. Stockholm Syndrome, Butterflies and Hurricanes, et al.)

I'm still waiting for The Hardest Part...

From Parachutes: Shiver Spies Trouble High Speed Rush of Blood: Politik The Scientist Warning Sign A Rush of Blood to the Head Amsterdam X&Y: Square One White Shadows Talk Low Twisted Logic Til Kingdom Come Out of those, I'd say A Rush of Blood to the Head. "I'm gonna buy a gun and start a war, if you can tell me something worth fighting for." IMO, the best lyric on the album. Profound.

I'm still for Square One. It's too good to ignore... plus the Coldplaying preview said it was a probable single. They weren't wrong about Clocks, were they? ^_~

I joined here, but I don't think I posted anything yet. XD w00t!

There is some Amsterdam fanclub... I wonder why I'm not in it... anyways, they said that Chris wrote it about an experience he had in Amsterdam. I assume he said that in an interview.

Sounds alot like GPASUYF. I hope it's good ^_^

Hopefully it will be more than just Chris walking (Yellow, The Scientist, Fix You) or the band playing (Clocks, In My Place, Speed of Sound)... but not as wierd as God Put A Smile Upon Your Face.

Ring of Fire's the only thing I've heard. Can someone upload Man on the Moon? I'm really anxious to hear it because I love the original.

Last time I checked, Chris wasn't a super devout Christian. Maybe he is... I haven't seen anything like that, but it is a well fitting explanation. Nice work.
