Midnight appreciation thread
My favorite song of the album and in my top 5 Coldplay songs. The most relevant song about depression, who Chris suffers a huge depression after the separation. For me, it's the type of songs to help peoples suffers of depression. It's was very painful in the lyrical, i remember to crying in this song after i listen the songs because i suffers depression in the past. The song was very sad, powerful and emotional at the form. The vocader fit with the voice of Chris and with the electronic/Ambient vibe of this song. It's very haunting, relaxing, beautiful, painful, profound and who Chris put all his emotions about depression.

How does Midnight fit in Ghost Stories?
For me it's fit with the album lyrically and musically. This song was a song who Chris talk about the dark time of his life and the lyrics was clearly refers has a person deal with depression. The lyrics ''In the darkness of the room'' refer has a person depressed to became out of the light. Musically, it's the most electronic thing of the album. This song was consider has a electronic, spiritual and ambient song and the most experimental song of the album. My favorite song of the album (and my top 5 of all Coldplay songs) and a gem of the group.

Is O the best song Coldplay have ever recorded?
Fly On was the song a resilience and a emotional song who Chris close this chapter of his life and to it's time to turning his page after to make a introspection of his couple of 10 last years and starting to look his future with his two childrens, This song put a light of his separation and close a chapter of his life in lyrically. While A Sky Full of Stars was a song who Chris sing to he hear the light of the tunnel after his depression (Chris said in interview of the time of the released of the album to the message of this song was more deep and emotional then in surface), this next song was also a resilient song who he close this chapter life and O was a song who Chris have a great moment to put his childrens singing in the song and have a great moment has a father. The first seven songs was very painful, sad and moody who he put all his feelings of his separation and the three last songs was three songs to he view the light of the tunnel after a dark time.

Oceans
In this album, this was the last song of the album, who he crying for his ending of his relationship with Gwyneth. Sad, painful and also you hear a crack of Chris, because he crying almost in all the song, because this song was too much in the emotional. His voice cracking in somes songs of the album (like Ink and True Love), but it's was the most visible in the album. Before the two next songs, who, while the first seven songs, he crying and Chris was so painful for the ending of his couple in Gwyneth in the tracks (1-7), the three last songs (A Sky Full of Stars, Fly On and O) was three songs of resilience but also emotional. A Sky Full of Stars (The most up-tempo song of the album) was was a resilient song who after a hard time of his life, he finally begin the light of the tunnel and Fly On was a song of resilience who for in this song, he was time to turning the page and starting to have the best thing for his life with his two kids. O was a song of love who he invited his two childrens (in two versions) to sing in theses two tracks and give his chance to amusing with thier father.

Another's Arms
This song, like Always in My Head, was very introspective and so intimate. This was the most intimate lyrical song, because you enters who Chris have good memories. He rmember the times he passing with Gwyneth and this is not a anger song at all, it's just a song then remember the good good memories of his couple with Gwyneth. Musically, it's in the same vein of Magic and Always in My Head, and was good to put in this mystic ambiance like theses two songs (or the other songs of the album).

It's difficult to classing outside the first place (who it's was in my top 5 coldplay songs) because this album was so pure and was a masterpiece. Facily in my top 3 Coldplay albums (with Everyday Life and A Rush of Blood to the Head).

Always In My Head
This song has a opening track of the album, give the tone of Chris personal journey in this album. Chris was very introspective so much in this song and you hear that his relationship was't did well with ''Gwyneth'' just to look the lyrical content when you listen this song, he refers has himself of this song and how sad he was of his situation in his vocals, so sad. The sadness of his voice in this song give the tone of his vocals in this album, so pure, but also very sad, painful, dark and agile in this album.

Midnight - your review
My favorite song of the album after the first listen. Love the vocader Chris used in this song, it's suit perfectly with the electronic, spiritual and ambient vibe of this song. A piece of art and so beautiful to listen to debut of end. Perfect for all mood (calm or agited). The lyrical content, so personal, was also the major point of this song. A piece of art.

Do you prefer Ghost Stories with or without ASFOS?
For me it's have the his place of this album. This song, if you look lyrically and vocally this song, like the rest of the album, this was very sad and emotional. Because Chris singing voice in this song was very sad. After he was in emotions (pain, anger, depress, moody and sad) the songs of the albums, A Sky Full of Stars was a song of resilience. after a dark time, Chris made the light of the tunnel i noticed that vocally and lyrically. It's was a perfect balance of happy beat (has a EDM song) and dark and emotional lyrics and vocals. For me, it's function to transfert to ''O'' because he sing his daugther of O and you hear Apple have so much good time with her father to sing theses vocals, proof to the life continues after the separation. For many, O have a place at the ending, because he have a life after this separation and continue his life with Apple and Moses.

Ghost Story
I listen this song in the last minutes. For me this song was thier only reminder of the first coldplay albums (Like ''Parachutes'' for example). And like the production of this song, the vibe of this song. When i analysed this lyrics, it's was a very anger and sad song about the Chris separation of his personal life and analysed himself in the lyrical content in all his souls and pain.

All Your Friends
I starting to listen this deluxe song of Target. A excellent track, but wasn't sure to this song fit with the personal themes who Chris exposed all his emotions in all ways of his personal life in the nine songs of the album, because this song was about war and wasn't fit with the general theme of the album. But musically, in the same vein of the others songs of the album and very good.

Up&Up To Become The Next Single From A Head Full of Dreams
This was my favorite song of the album and like Everglow and Fun, love so much this song. So much a positive ballad and all the members of family and friends of all four members of the groups formed a choir, becoming this song has a gospel song. This gospel ballad have a positive message and all was reunited for a incredible ballad. It's wasn't expected at all for a rock group to adventured in the gospel. For me, this song was thier first incursion has a gospel style before Everyday Life depist Lost have few gospel influences.

A Sky Full of Stars - your review
This song was excellent and have a place of this album. If you look the lyrics, this song was heartbreaking but also resilient. It's a song who Chris became transition the darkness to the lightness of his end of his relationship who he started to became the light of his chanel. It's wasn't just a EDM song, the lyrics was more deep and emotional. This song was a testify of resilience and have the place at the end of the album because after he put all his emotionals (angers, pain, sadness) about his personal life, Chris voice was more colourful and agile, but also like the rest of the album, very sad and emotional. It's also fit with the ambient, synth-pop sound of this album. This was a transition to darkness to daylight, i hear that in his entire song.

Daddy - Sunrise
My favorite song of the album. Love this piano ballad of this group. Chris say in interview to this song was personal and introspective of him, because this was written at the point of view of a child missing a father. Because he wasn't so much present for Apple and Moses when he was on tour, but he love his childrens. This song was all about that. He write this song to help all the peoples with thier father work far away and was thier father wasn't present so much in thier life.

LP7- "A Head Full Of Dreams"
I listen this album when i listen the discography. This was the last time who Coldplay trying make songs for commercial attract. The album remains very pop-rock but also the group risk with explored RnB, disco, funk to another public to not have before. This album was a very good listen. Always a better album then X&Y and Mylo Xyloto. The main point was the purety of Chris voice. This and Ghost Stories was thier two best vocally and while Ghost Stories was more a personal statement to sttrugles for Chris separation, A Full of Head of Dreams was a happy album and wanted to amused and live more life and you hear that in the album after the personal and dark Ghost Stories. For everybody to all say the was too pop for a Coldplay, the group already started to this road with Viva La Vida, thier first song to adventured in pop music and gained a new public. Also Paradise and Princess of China adventured more in the pop/RnB road depist Mylo Xyloto it's was very rock and pop-rock. It's was a natural evolution of the group and how the group wanted to risk of thier music and have to not repeat thier sound of each albums. My favorites songs was Up&Up, Amazing day and Everglow. But Hymn of the Weekend was my least favorite song of the album.
