This thread is hilarious. Lyla sounds NOTHING like this song. But I do kind of see why people think it sounds similar to oasis. I think its the fact that Chris is actually nearly shouting on this song. And whereas with past songs like Square One where they've kept everything beautifully structured and "nice", this song has a much more raw feel, much more 'in your face' than past songs. Not quite aggressive, but its certainly not subtle, at all, bar the nice atmospheric introduction at the beginning. So since Oasis has pretty much always produced songs on which they rock out, but at the same time manage to convey raw emotion, i can see the similarity. But really, this is only one guy's opinion at the end of the day. I probably don't know what the hell I'm talking about. I admit though, I never thought I'd hear Chris say the line "the future's architectured, by a carnival of idiots on show". Sounds a bit like something radiohead would say, but in a nicer way. I love the lyrics, either way.

^Agreed.

I think it might be an odd choice for a single, but I have to say it certainly outlines the change in their sound well. They've been saying for a while now, that the music is going to more oblique, and that not all the songs will have a typical song structure. You were prepared. I personally really like it. Its definitely a grower, I find it hard to see what is so bad about it. A stylistic change, yes, but this is the band's FOURTH album we're talking about. If you're looking for soaring choruses and melodic hooks, they've got 3 albums pack full of those.

Oh wow, I'm seriously digging these lyrics! Thanks guys! :D

Yeah, its really growing on me! :dance:

Haha, I like how everyone is saying "Happy Violet Hill" to each other :lol: So CLOSEEEEEE!!! :dance:

Interesting!

Wow, still up, Tracie? I'm only awake now because someone wanted me to lift a fridge into the back of someones car in the pouring rain, haha. Now I'm not sure whether to go back to sleep for a little while or not. But hey, at least have luxury of making that choice :P Less than 3 hours guys! :dance:

:laugh1: The definition of DEDICATION, I think :P

And me.

Hahaha, you know a lot of people have been telling me that recently... :P I was just about leave though, now you mention it. I don't feel like going strong until 5am like I sometimes do. Crazy, I know. :dozey: BTW, I love the changing captions underneath the countdown in your sig!

Yes... don't take ANY chances with that. It seems that the cable hates you anyway, so don't give it any oppertunities :P

Hahaha, the collective squeeing will probably cause tremors, which is NOT good since the ethernet cable would pop out of the back of the coldplay server, and we'll all be doomed :P

Well I'm starting to think its not such a silly idea now, actually :P

E-murder, more specifically :P And that would be the second best news I could ever hear this year from you guys. And did I mention that I love ALL of the 10 seconds I've heard of So SAD? RELEASE IT NOWWWWWWWW!! :P

Hahaha, I think you hit the nail right on the head there :P OMG its going to be insane :lol:

Same here most definitely. Nothing could match that, I dont think :D :dance: And since the universe seems to be tipped in our favour right now, I have my fingers crossed for something that would make it perfect! And that would be it.

OMG yes PLEASE!!! :dance: Honestly, if that happens, I'll never complain about anything Coldplay-related again. Ever.

Hahaha, loving those recommendations :P

Haha, not long. And besides, what else am I going to do for the next 10 hours? :dozey:

Night Night! I should probably be off soon too, i think.

Hey Chris, I got 2 words for you. The first is "THANKS! :dance:" The second is "......... CASCADA!!??! :o"

Its already been discussed. :P

Hahaha, its just that ive never actually "SQUEEd" before :P Ok, I'll give it a try. Ahem. So anyway.

All of these damned threads, aaahh. We've already got a million and one others to deal with.
