<a href="http://www.coldplaying.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/20111026meg12.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-46444" src="http://www.coldplaying.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/20111026meg12.jpg" alt="'The Scientist' live at 'Unstaged' - The perfect live performance?" width="800" height="500" /></a> <em>Written by Coldplayfan1294.</em> There’s something magical about the “Unstaged” performance of “The Scientist.” It doesn’t even seem fair to choose one song as that entire concert was incredible during the MX era. “The Scientist” during a Coldplay set always seems like the meditative, peaceful lull in a set that pulsates with energy. Perhaps that is what is most amazing about “The Scientist” and the impact it has on Coldplay fans. Aside from the initial outcry from fans when Chris plays the opening chords on piano, the song’s impact on the crowd is incredibly powerful. It never ceases to amaze me how thousands of people at once can seemingly be mesmerized by one particular song. Chris always mentions how he knows what songs work and what songs don’t by judging the entrances into the stadium – if they’re filled with silhouettes or if they are void of life. Judging by the massive sing-a-long during the “Unstaged” performance, there weren’t many people thinking about a bathroom break, and why would they? <!--more--> <img class="alignnone wp-image-46445" src="http://www.coldplaying.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/20111026tim11-1024x576.jpg" alt="'The Scientist' live at 'Unstaged' - The perfect live performance?" width="796" height="448" /> There’s something about those chords that seemingly evoke emotion. There’s an undeniable truth to those chords about the depressing yet hopeful situation the song tells us about. What’s more is that it seems like everybody understands it. We’ve all been there in our lives – living with regret, nothing left but hope for better. It doesn’t matter who you are, where you came from, or what you believe in – we could all share stories of losing something that is invaluable to us. During the song, there is a universal agreement and understanding of what Chris is singing. This feeling is not only spurred on by the very idea of losing something that is lost, but it’s also invigorated by the frank, yet emotional way in which Chris sings the song. After the crowd chanted the first chorus along with Chris, Jonny joins Chris with his acoustic guitar in a re-assembled chord progression that reassures the crowd that optimism can exist during a painful time. Leading into the second verse, Guy and Will join as the energy surrounding the song builds. Chris sings with emphasis the continuing analysis of a heart-wrenching circumstance. <a href="http://www.coldplaying.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/20111026meg6.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-46446" src="http://www.coldplaying.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/20111026meg6.jpg" alt="'The Scientist' live at 'Unstaged' - The perfect live performance?" width="800" height="500" /></a> Chris is met again with the chant of the second chorus by the crowd, with Chris convincingly singing “Let’s go back to the start,” seemingly at the pinnacle. Optimism abounds as Jonny switches to electric guitar and Chris seemingly affirms the state of affairs with his reassuring series of falsettos. The connection between the band and crowd hits new heights during the song as Chris asks the crowd to sing the chorus one more time while it’s guided by the piano chords. There’s nothing quite like hearing thousands sing together at once, and the power of that even shocks Chris, and seemingly humbles him, with a lit up face and a realization of the unity and understanding “The Scientist” pulls from the body of every single fan in that audience. The impact of this song can be seen on the face of each person in that crowd, and on the inspired face of Chris Martin. Notice how words are missing in that instance? It’s because words can’t do it justice.

We need Coldplayers to volunteer as mentors for new members joining the site :) You'll simply just need to know how to use the forums on desktop and mobile (using Tapatalk) If you would like to help, just reply to this post, PM myself or Captain Crieff . You will be added to a list of Coldplaying mentors and we will 'pair' you up with a new member.- First ever Coldplaying.com article 15 years ago : Coldplay support Muse
January 31st 2000 was the date of the first ever Coldplaying.com article, posted by our founder, Ian (Busybeeburns) :D Coldplay supported Muse at the Newcastle University Student's Union! Nostalgia :parachutes: http://www.coldplaying.com/31st-january-2000-coldplay-support-muse-newcastle-interview/ (link to the new article) http://www.coldplaying.com/live-at-newcastle-university-students-union-supporting-muse-interview/ (link to the actual archived post) You may of noticed too, we have a new sharing sidebar on the main site. Please share this piece of Coldplay / Coldplaying / Muse history to the social page of your choice, would be much appreciated :)- Autonomous sensory meridian response
Hoping for one without vocals, just the bowl music :)- Autonomous sensory meridian response
Scarlett in Dimitri's videos is starting to annoy me. She looks at the camera too much which I find distracting and all the YT comments are asking for a new model haha. For the Rhys Thomas singing bowls, have you got a good link? [video=youtube;UxHmNKsv5ng]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UxHmNKsv5ng but the guy singing kind of defeats the purpose :P- Confirmed - Coldplay to Perform for Music Company "Why Not People?"
Thanks :) I'll ask a friend of mine and see if he wants to sign up. It's £15 for something that doesn't have any info on where or when the gigs will be (as of yet) so a lot of people may give it a miss :/- Confirmed - Coldplay to Perform for Music Company "Why Not People?"
New Coldplaying.com article Also documents / links to an issue a disabled fan had during the Mylo Xylotour at the Emirates Stadium (their blog is interesting)- Confirmed - Coldplay to Perform for Music Company "Why Not People?"
I am very interested to know when this will happen. Would be surprised if its in the next few months and the tour part is true.- Known Bugs / Issues thread
I only edited the main style, it should work now- Known Bugs / Issues thread
I've edited the code to automatically tick the box now :)- LP7- "A Head Full Of Dreams"
Odd choice with mentioning Miracles, I think ASFOS would be more of an indicator but yeah, EDM / pop seems likely. Hopefully Jonny's guitar shines through on a bunch of songs :)- Gwyneth...
Congratulations on your 13,000th post :P- Post pictures of the gorgeous Chris

It could be that one message has been marked as read (not on the first few pages of your inbox). I had that issue once before. Go to settings on the navbar and on the summary page it will show you any unread message. If nothing shows up, let me know what browser your using and i'll test it- Which logo?
Thanks for your votes, the 2nd logo wins! Will change it back :) - New Team Members & Member Of The Month
