So this is how I spend the Christmas' Eve in the evening. The task is to create a monologue about anything we would like to talk about. So here I am trying to squeeze as much info as possible about the Coldplay into a five-minute presentation in a foreign language. That's not practicable! :joy:

The first thing that popped into my mind when I read this. Christopher Columbus :joy:

I'll forgive you this time as it's Christmas right at the moment. :P Army Of One vs Everglow

I'll begin with the first track mentioned here. I didn't need to think twice about this choice as it has always managed to buck up my spirits whenever I've been feeling down. This song is pure joy and happiness. It includes such an uplifting and pleasant melody that never fails to enthuse me. It just sounds really gratifying which is one of those factors that makes Paradise truly special. Not to mention the lyrics which might appear to be simple yet powerful and moving. Every time I hear this song, I have a feeling there's someone invisible hugging me. It's very simple to imagine the Coldplay members trying to reach out to me through their music which they eventually succeed in. Paradise reminds me of the times when I felt neglected which led me to often stay on my own. During that period I tried to find something to call mine because it wasn't really easy for me to get involved in activities that my peers had joined in. I often daydream and wonder what I would like to experience to make myself happy and spice up my life a little bit. Then it comes, "this could be para-para-paradise, para-para-paradise..." This reflection would seem incomplete if I didn't mention few words about the music video. There's nothing much to say about it, though. The plot is pretty clear as it just follows the lyrics. They both complement each other really well. A wonderful video has added more points ot the song which makes it more extraordinary! You know what? It's funny how such big impact a song can have on you. It takes a while to accept that fact. When one admits it, they truly find out that a particular song has just become a part of their life, the soundtrack of their life.

I've had the idea of creating this thread for a very long time but I wasn't really sure how to approach this topic. This time I've decided to bring it on as I was told that the Christmas season is the most stressful time of year. Well, that certainly depends on an individual person. I believe it would be truly nice if we shared songs "that manage to buoy us up" with each other so we would learn what one listens to when they feel low and try to cheer themselves up. I know that this is not the easiest task. However, if you sense that you have to something to offer us, feel free to share your thoughts! This doesn't have to be restricted to the Coldplay only, you can write about any songs by any musicians or bands. Just do as you wish. Feel free to drop here anything appropriate for the purpose of this thread. Any of your input will be surely appreciated! :) (I'm sorry if a thread similar to this one had been already made.)
