What If has nothing on The Scientist. What If = nice The Scientist = favourite song of all time.

Obviously they didn't get to evolve it more because they're DEMOS. Seriously guys, they're not expected to be good. It's like looking at the first draft of an essay and going, damn that's just not as good as my other essays.

Lovers In Japan 73 The Scientist 74 + Talk 49 -

When you read what you just wrote ^ and think 'prospect' looks strange.

When you spell 'prospect' 'prospekt' without even realising it, even though you're usually a spelling and grammar Nazi.

*loves* I'd go albums in order, Prospekt's, and a mix CD of b-sides. ^_^

When you laugh when reading The Oracle's question about cats because you seriously contemplated naming your puppy Buckland.

So according to The Oracle, the filming in Canada was solely for the archives.

Since The Scientist is my favourite Coldplay song... I'd go with The Scientist.

Sang and danced along to LiTII at work.. I work at a tutoring centre so all the kids stared at me.

Yes. I don't know why, just didn't like it. I never heard it live (btw, why don't they play it?), but I think that might have helped. Anyway, one day I listened to it (I used to skip it), and just loved it. Not quite sure how that happened.

We're.. on a Coldplay forum, are we not?

None. Hah! Well, not anything prominent. You'd see my AROBTTH vinyl and Viva tour book if you came into my room and peeped around. If you were going through my CD collection, of course you'd find a bunch of Coldplay CDs, but that's really it. edit: Oh, and a band shirt that's usually in my laundry basket. Butterflies on my wall.

Goodness, that's a good story. I like it. Your dad has good music taste. My dad has never heard of Coldplay. I liked Yellow, liked Clocks, but as soon as I heard The Scientist, I was hooked. That makes me... an 11 year old fan in 2002.

I also always thought it was 'just'. I will keep thinking that. :D

I blast this album while I drive home late at night. It's the only thing that keeps me awake.

Yeah, didn't they record a demo of Viva in 2005? It is quite possible that SS was written in 2006, and possibly in Melbourne. Can you imagine a perfect Autumn day in Melbourne, "it's such a perfect day".

To whoever said something about Strawberry Fields Forever, that's exactly what I thought when I first saw the title 'Strawberry Swing'.

No no no! It's clearly a Scottish accent. It is the one and only Guy Rupert Berryman.

Oh dear goodness, they look good.

Actually, while I completely disagree with the entire post, the 'get a sense of humour' comment made me laugh. Is there a musician with a better sense of humour than Chris? I don't understand this... he cracks me up.

It's Debs. Her replies don't sound like a man wrote them.

Yay for Chris! I don't have an iPhone either. So glad he doesn't have one. I hate fads.

I screamed when I looked at the clock and it was 1:36. I said to my sister, "It's 1:36!" and she goes, "Are we late for something?" Saw a butterfly necklace and went crazy. My mother had to remind me that I don't wear jewellery.

^ Agreed! I'm glad the kids look like Chris -- they're gorgeous!
