The riddle of COL?
I don't suppose it could be ...witches are in the Seine...? I know the Seine River is not in England, but if the story of this song includes the "ghost towns in the ocean" it's only another hop over into France. Maybe not. But I agree that it doesn't sound exactly like "witches in the saying". I can't tie this song together for the life of me. First there is the people who "go walking". Who are they? Then there are witches and ghosts. Then God comes into the picture. I don't get it. But this song has become my favorite Coldplay song.

It's Sting - Consider Me Gone An easier one then: I took the money, I spiked your drink, You miss too much these days if you stop to think,

Coldplay Fan Survey (it will only take a minute)
1. Hearing Clocks on the radio and thinking, "It sounds good but it's a little simple. Not like the music from the good old days". 2. no 3a. Viva la Vida or Death and All His Friends 3b. Cemeteries of London 3c. The Hardest Part 4. I have nothing. 5. I played "White Shadows" over the PA at halftime at my son's high school basketball game. (I volunteer as the PA announcer at the high school.) 5.

Does anyone here besides me just wanna rock out to Coldplay sometimes?
I knew there would be someone else out there who did that! Yeah, Talk ROCKS! Which do you you like the album version or the other. I like the other version that doesn't slow down. While Chris is singing the chorus - "So you don't know where you're going but you wanna talk..." I am air-guitaring THE HELL out of the guitar part!!!!! :guitarist:

Guess The Lyrics Game!!
coldplay - such a rush There were rooms of forgiveness, In the house that we shared, But this space has been emptied, Of whatever was there, There were cupboards of patience, There were shelfloads of care, But whoever came calling, Found nobody there,

The end of Cementries of London IS SPINE TINGLINGLY BRILLIANT!
Whenever I hear this I get a vision of what the piano solo might look like on a video. As the song furiously comes to a halt, suddenly you see Chris, all alone, in a huge, old, dark mansion. There is moonlight coming in a window, illuminating Chris. He's standing in front of an old Grandfather clock. Chris reverently turns the minute hand of the clock until the clock strikes midnight. Then you hear the two lines of the piano solo as if they were the chimes of the clock. Chris closes the clock face. End of video. Do you like? That's just something I imagined the first time I heard the song. I wanted to share it. Thanks!

Cemeteries reminds me a little of Scarborough Fair/Canticle
Sorry Claudia, I didn't happen to look at the other thread because I'm not really seeing the House of the Rising Sun thing the other person was talking about. Then again, I only have a passing knowledge of that particular song. But, on the bright side, it appears as if great minds think alike.;)

Rate what the user above is listening
Um, 5? It sounds almost Country-tinged through the verses and I'm not sure a laid-back approach is best for this song. But it does pick up a bit at the 3:25 mark so I gave it a higher rating than I was going to. Overall, I'd say Viva La Vida deserves a bit more energy. U2 - New York

The cure of hate
I would say listening to music from a genre of a culture a person doesn't like is a very good way to break through stereotypes about that culture. But it can be a tough sell because a person's feelings of hate for a group usually carry over to that group's music as well. They are often not willing to give that music a chance. It almost has to happen by accident or a sneak approach. So I would say Marley's idea can work, but it has to be a powerful work of music to transcend cultures traditionally in conflict.

Game: Who was the Number 1 Single when you were born
"Joy to the World" (Jeremiah was a Bullfrog) by Three Dog Night. A particularly silly song to be born under, methinks. Oh, yeah... it was May 12, 1971 I do, however, enjoy "Mama Told Me Not to Come" by the same group. I always thought it sounded like a song that Flava Flav might cover. Call me crazy. :rolleyes4:

Women think of shopping as much as men think about sex!!
My wife never wants to shop. I'll get the urge to shop sometimes and suggest that we shop and she'll say, "I'm just not in the mood to shop. Maybe tomorrow we'll shop". And then I get frustrated. "Other couples shop all the time", I say. "Back when we first got married you wanted to shop almost every day". But nothing moves her - no shopping. Then I get really frustrated and say, "Y,know maybe I ought to just go shopping by myself! Would you like that? Or maybe, just maybe, I'll find some other women to shop with!! You're just lucky I don't do that!!!! Oh, wait........ I MEAN HAVE SEX!! Sorry.:D
