They haven't been that band yet, but they're probably big enough to pull it off now. In 2008, they played MTL (July) and Ottawa (October). In 2009, they played MTL too.

Rare de voir un "pattern" comme... Grande ville (break de 3 jours) Grande ville (break de 3 jours) et Calgary Edmonton (lendemain) Je crois que la demande sera forte, mais je ne pense pas qu'il sera "difficile" d'avoir des billets si quelqu'un veux y aller... just watch for when tix go on sale (including the pre-sale).

We're having the same discussion in two threads :laugh3: What strikes me about the list is the big cities, with big spaces in-between. If they have the intention of playing other cities in the areas, they could've announced them now, and the list would've looked more "typical". TO - July 23 MTL - July 26 Boston - July 29

Après le sell-out du premier. Mais je suis d'accord, c'est aussi possible que les autres shows (si il y aura d'autres shows) prendront place "dans le coin" (ex. Ottawa, Québec). Ce que j'observe, c'est simplement les grands écarts entre les dates (sauf where 2 "petites" villes sont proches... Calgary/Edmonton; Seatlle/Portland). You'd think if they were going to Ottawa, they'd have announced it with this list. Why relatively short list with big spaces in-between?

That's possible too... but I could easily see MTL getting a second date. More shows in the area.

Pretty sure... Think they could almost pull off a stadium tour, and this is their way of almost doing it (or maybe they want the arena vibe). 3 dates between big city shows = room for more shows for big cities. Exceptions are: Calgary/Edmonton Portland/Seatlle Smaller cities, less population = Back to back dates Underlying Trend for all = Trying to get max attendance per area. In MTL, you get multiple dates... in Calgary/Edmonton, you get back-to-back dates, one each... Already 2 LA dates. Just my thought.

Pas mal certain qu'ils vont jouer un deuxième show à Montréal... il y a un grand écart entre le show de TO et celui de MTL (et celui de Boston).

Just looked at the North American tourdates... I wonder if they're planning on having multiple shows / city. Dates are spread out btw cities, time for 2nd shows, where necessary.

So if she IS a Princess (from China, in fact), then why would she sing she COULD have been a Princess? She ALREADY is one. Sorry for the BOLD, just trying to emphasize.

I definitely don't think the song is to be taken literally. I do think it shows a lack of due diligence on Coldplay's part.

In your story, she is a Princess. She sings that she could have been a Princess.

How can she have a Prince/Princess relationship with someone who wants a King/Queen relationship? The best explanation is: They'd be together... She'd feel like a "Princess"... He'd feel like a "King"...

Option 3: It was unintentional.

Funny, I did the same thing last night (without having read this thread). Slowed down, 50%, via Audacity... I thought I heard "Old Man... old man"... I still can't hear the "All the boys, all the girls" to which you refer, but everyone seems to agree, so you probably got it.

It does. Plus, it seems to sound natural to certain people who keep thinking of Queen Eliz II and her husband, a "Prince". Except, the parallel is not applicable... the title "Prince" was conferred upon him, because, in that case, he couldn't become "King", because he'd outrank his wife. Different than the subject matter in the song.

Except she sings "I could have been a Princess", and the status is obviously dependent on what happens with the King. She doesn't sing: "I am a Princess, and you're a King... and you dig me."

At the 21-second Mark, does the Guitarist mis-pick the Guitar string?

I find the thread title amusing. My first thought upon hearing this song was that it sounded like it featured "The Edge" (U2). Was the OP making a joke? I don't have time to read the thread...

Actually, no. Your basic interpretation seems correct: King and Princess don't go together. You're, in fact, the one who's on the ball. People, including Coldplay, seem to be being thrown off by the fact that Queen Elizabeth II is married to a "Prince".

That's different. The title "Prince" was conferred upon him. Why? Because a male who marries a Queen can't become "King", because he'd outrank his wife. Source in other thread.

Refers to a different part of the song.

I think they made a mistake, or at the very least, failed to appreciate the confusion to which King?Princess could lead, but I think they're talking about 2 people, non-Monarchy, who could live as Princess, figuratively, and King, figuratively... Good discussion!

With the www's world-wide audience, no song is obscure. If anything, I think it would have been unintentional. We know they're able to give credit (Talk, ETIAW). Funny, I think ETIAW might have been there way of addressing the Satriani thing with Viva... "copying" a song and giving credit for it. Then this comes up... wonder what that phonecall was like? "Ugh, Chris... POC is like a song from Vietnam"... "Shup up, you're f'ing shitting me mate"... "I shit you not Chris"... turns on internet... "WTF???".
