This is my favorite song on the whole album. I love it.

YAY! That's the best news!

I would totally listen to that!!

I love this song. Lyrically, I think it's better than some songs on the rest of EL.

YES! THIS!! @M Marks The Spot You're awesome.

I can't help but to think at some point this would be released officially. Why go through all that work just to put it on YouTube? Here's to hoping.

Agreed! I loved the part when When I need A Friend ends and it pans to the sky.... gosh, just perfect! The weather was beautiful and the atmosphere and the birds chirping.. just amazing!

There are websites you can use that convert YouTube videos into mp4s. However, it looks like someone made a thread here: https://coldplaying.com/forum/index.php?threads/everyday-life-live-in-jordan-mp3.126101/#post-5955026

Makes sense. Chris said from the iTunes interview how it was from... "the last day of our last tour, in Buenos Aries. I didn't have the confidence to show it to the band as a song. But eventually they said just put the voice memo on. I don't know if that means they don't like it, but they let it through" :tired_face: ugh, I wish they said no until it was more finished. EDIT ** So I just watched the Live In Jordan version of this.... i do love Chris playing it acoustically on his guitar. I will gladly take that!

In the iTunes interview the band gave they said there was another song Broken that they recorded which Chris said was really good but this one came and beat it..... would love to hear the other Broken!!

Such a beautiful song and the perfect closing album song to compliment Sunrise as the opener. Great bookends to open and close. I love listening to Sunrise and then just going to Everyday Life. I do wish the strings continued to play at the end a few seconds longer instead of that somewhat abrupt end.

So, I could not understand what Chris was saying until I had the lyrics in front of me. hopefully there is a version somewhere that’s more finished than this because it seems like it’s a demo. When reading the lyrics while listening it seems like he is saying more than what is included in the CD booklet? Or is he just mumbling, speaking so softly I am just having a hard time understanding? I am annoyed by the unfinished quality of this song

I don't see the whole album? Just the songs already released.

That’s awesome !

Ohhh, I get you now!

You mean Brothers and Sisters? Yeah I hear similarities to that too. I was thinking more of Miracles from the Unbroken Movie.

Every time I listen to this I think of the song Miracles. Anyone else?

Aww, Sue!! I am glad what I wrote was helpful. That’s why I decided to say something... perhaps someone can benefit. I lost my mom 4.5 years ago....so I understand what you’re saying there. And losing a pet is never easy, sorry today was so hard for you! Lastly, through a lot of not wanting to face my past, I realized over many years that I was only making the depression/anxiety worse. Only in facing my depression and anxiety head on and dealing with it, as scary as that is, could I move through it and past it. Not to say old wounds don’t come up (as they will never truly go away) because they do, but now I can identify them easier and deal with them appropriately and in a healthy fashion.

See you soon is one of my top 5 favorite songs, so I am excited for Old Friends!!

Went to Youtube to listen..... agreed!

Ohh, that makes me look forward to it so much!! :)

same, same. Cant wait to crank it up loudly and just drive.

My goodness.... this song is brilliant and so beautiful. As an Oldplayer I really appreciate it. The lyrics really hit me, and gosh Chris' voice. Don't mind me, I will be sobbing all night... :sob::sob:

Thank you @ I ran away, and everyone else as well for sharing. I have been thinking of all of you since this thread was started, wondering what I should say/how I should share. Please know I have been thinking of all of you and your struggles, hoping that everyone has better days ahead! I too have battled with anxiety and depression as long as I can remember, my whole life really. This is due to trauma during infancy/toddler years. Well, I finally decided to come on here and say something after listening to Daddy. That song just hit a raw nerve that I have never brought to the surface. I've been breaking down on and off since listening to it, as emotions that I have never let myself deal with, and maybe never realized were there, are coming out. I have been a coldplay fan since I was in middle school, in 2000 when Yellow came out. When the AROBTH album came out I put it in my CD player with my headphones on every night and it put me to sleep. I did this for a whole year, every single night. The songs from that album and Yellow were the first ones that helped me in my moments of anxiety and depression through middle school. These songs were friends that understood how I felt, and were just there for me, if that makes any sense. For this reason Coldplay will always be my favorite band. Through high school and into adulthood, and even currently in my life, these albums have always been there for me. I can remember when each Coldplay album came out, and what I was going through in my life at the time, and how they helped me. There are times I go long periods of time without listening to Coldplay, and then times when I come back to them and listen to the albums exclusively and constantly. Sometimes the albums do make me depressed, but at other times, they help me process and go through the feelings and experiences associated with my past trauma. It is in dealing with these emotions head on that bring me to healing. I am fully aware that listening to this album, and past ones, may and have made me more depressed at times. Like today, I listened to Daddy and was so excited because it was an Oldplay style song that reminded me so much of the Coldplay I grew up with. However, I wasn't expecting it to hit me that hard with the lyrics, and here I am a mess again, depressed... knowing that this may last for a bit. I think part of of it for me is that I know, and am fully aware that Coldplay and their albums can make me feel this way. Many times when I am depressed, Coldplay is what I want to listen to, and it will make my depression worse. However, there isn't anything else that I want to listen to. Other times, when I am depressed it will make the depression easier... it's hard to know, just depends on how I am at that time. Despite this, I really embrace it, because at least for me, I know that there is a light at the end of my depression and it doesn't last forever. And, at the other end, I have found I am one step further in the healing process. I don't know if anyone can relate to what I mean when I say that. But, for the last almost 20 years, I have come to know these songs will help me, and I will be okay. So, that's how I cope. I lean into the feelings I am having, put the songs on repeat, get my journal out and let myself experience whatever I am going through. Then, if I need to I will talk to my therapist, or the people close to me who I can trust to help me though. I am so thankful that Coldplay and their music exists. Honestly, Coldplay (and a lot of therapy) have brought me a long way, and I don't know where I would be without it.

At first listen my husband and I were like what the F*** Is this?? and my husband said, "This isn't Coldplay". Our 4 year old LOVES IT! But, the more and more I listen to it I love it so much. This song made me actually enjoy the saxophone.
