THAT is spot on... every word! They did everything musically, what theyre capable of... and after more than 10 years of writing songs and making music, being creative and putting out music that defined a decade, met the zeitgeist and made them the biggest band, MAYBE the time has come where theres just nothing left... I think that a songwriters life has only so much songs to offer... I think Chris martin is out of genious right now... That can come back! But I think this great great river has run dry for now... Thats not a shame, thats how life goes, thats how creativity goes and you cant consistantly channel all your emotions thru art.. always on the same level...
Its great to read this forum because I value most of the opinions here... I think many of you really know what theyre talking about (understanding music, understanding the process of creating music)... but in this case I think:
Coldplay dont want to be mainstream, in and out, throw away pop, thats just, what theyre feeling right now... and that simply doesnt meet our high expectations!
cheers and hello everyone
