:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: I'd leave it the same as already really. I agree that Sparks is a brilliant song, but a single? Don't think so. What makes albums great is that the best tracks are usually not the singles, singles should just draw more people to the album (or allow obsessive fans like us to hear some lovely b-sides!) and i really don't think sparks, a rush of blood or til kingdom come, (whilst they are brilliant songs) do that. :cool: You're dead right!!! I mean, Clocks was the first song I heard conciously. Unfortunately, that was no earlier than April 2004, which is - of course - much too late. But the song being that catchy, it opened up my mind to the rest of Coldplay's songs. The guys can say now, that they've brought a former hip hop fan to listening to their music by that song.

Coldplay - Poor me

UPLOAD, UPLOAD!!! Even if it's only a chorus, that's good enough...for the moment!!! You'd make all of us real happy with that!!!

I hope that one day the guys start extending their shows instead of switching songs... I can understand that you're disappointed about not hearing "Swallowed in the Sea". They played it here in Berlin on June 19th and it was probably one of the most important moments of the concert. But I wouldn't have minded hearing Talk, either. I also love that Song. BTW, does anyone know about Glasgow recordings of the 2nd concert. Since everyone writes, how "good" it was, I'd love to here it....

Because of how deeply both songs move me... It must be TROUBLE and my all-time-fav AMSTERDAM. I wish I could play them myself, but I stopped playing piano some time ago

Come on, oh my star is fading And I swerve out of control... That's just one example among hundreds. Actually, I couldn't come up with any example of "not-matching-any-situation-we've-all-been-through" lyrics on any coldplay song. What I love most about Chris' stuff is that you don't have to get the meaning of every line...this confusion is so taken out of life that you just feel more connected with what he's saying.

Well, he's had that since the X&Y shows started. Must be quite windy around there....

I can only support that opinion. That was my first Coldplay concert and probably the best one I've ever seen. At first, the ticket price of about € 52 kept me from going. But in the end I couldn't come up with any excuse for not going. To be honest ... I've been a big Hip Hop fan for years until it just became to boring to stick to. Then I heard "Clocks" when staying at a friend's house. That was like a magic moment. Since then, I couldn't forget the song's melody and as if it was domino effect, I got introduced to all those wonderful songs from AROBTTH and later Parachutes........ It's like a never ending love ... It's kind of ironic then, that me and my girlfriend got into our relationship at about the same time. I hope, Coldplay doesn't feel like being cheated on :-)
