Ohhhhh, OK. ;) Meanwhile, can I be the keeper of Hurts Like Heaven?

I already have dibs on the LP5 title when it's released. Sorry, Natascha! :\

....epic perfection. This may have just made my life. Ooh, I think I'm obsessed with Coldplay all over again. :dazzled:

Is it bad that when I read that this is what immediately sprung into my head? :thinking:

I've literally been reblogging Coldplay-related things on Tumblr for ten minutes straight.

^ Amen, my fellow Coldplayer!

...hello, new favorite Chrissy photo. :dazzled:

It's like the sperm of VLVODAAHF, X&Y, and AROBTTH had a threeway love child with Brian Eno's egg. IT'S SO BEAUTIFUL :dazzled:

All I can think about is Coldplay and Doctor Who and Neil Gaiman and Coldplay and Doctor Who and Neil Gaiman and Coldplay and Doctor Who and Neil Gaiman... ...no, I'm not obsessed...

HURTS LIKE HEAVEN. OMFG! *dies* WHY IS THERE SO MUCH STATICKYNESS IN THAT OTHERWISE BEAUTIFUL SONG?! ...lol, I know why. The bad quality is what makes it hurt like heaven. :lol: COLDPLAY MAKES MY BRAIN SMILE.

Can I give up: the string section in Rainy Day Guy's skinny jeans the 2005 SNL performance In return, may I claim: "from underneath the rubble sing a rebel song" the synth riff at the beginning of ETIAW Chris' LP5-era haircut Chris' sweatiness after performing a high-energy song ((Also, why haven't you added that I am keeper of Chris' sexy falsetto? I've been keeper of that for a while and you never added it to the list.))

...not my cuppa, but funny nonetheless.

My local alternative rock station has been playing ETIAW every 90 minutes for the past few hours. I think they love it.

Can I keep: "I turn the music up, I got my records on, from underneath the rubble sing a rebel song", Will's drum solo at the end of ETIAW, the synth riff from the beginning of ETIAW, and Guy's Naruto jacket?

They keep playing it every 92 minutes on my local alternative rock station. They must love it a lot! :dazzled:

One of my friends said it sounded like Taio Cruz' "Dynamite" and U2 combined. I told them that Brian Eno is the producer, so that's why it sounds a bit like U2. I can't understand why they think it sounds like Dynamite, though. :thinking:

That review from the L Magazine makes me puke with anger.

from the Riverfront Times: "There's a strange interview lurking somewhere in the unpopulated regions of the Internet in which Oasis frontman Liam Gallagher calls Coldplay singer Chris Martin a "plant pot." It's a weird thing to say for more than one obvious reason: What actually is a plant pot? Should Chris be offended? Would he even care? How many people actually listen to Liam's insults? Does any of this make sense? The answers, after considerable deliberation, are as follows: I'm guessing just a pot for a plant, probably not, probably not, few and no. The last answer is the most important because it also applies to pretty much the entirety of the pot plant's band's new song, the tongue-out-of-cheek "Every Teardrop is a Waterfall." Fortune cookie title aside, the song is the current zenith of two years of fans and skeptics waiting to hear what comes after Viva La Vida, which was produced by Brian Eno and significantly altered the band's aesthetic and its crossover success. The aggressively low-pressure jam was released to Americans -- the band's fellow Brits have to wait another day -- early this morning and, let's be real, it's groundbreaking. The early rise was worth it for the moments of stunning lyrical clarity, found in pure, Shakespearean lines such as, "I'd rather be a comma than a full stop" (Who wouldn't?) and, "Maybe I'm the gap between the two trapezes" (Woah).The best part of that last one is that it functions as a rhyme with "knees." The single clocks in at exactly four minutes, which means you can listen to it fifteen times per hour, depending upon your speed at clicking "Play" and your knowledge of the Repeat option. At the very least, you have a minimum of fourteen chances an hour, and you probably should be doing that for at least three hours today in order to truly plumb the plant pot's depth. As you listen to the song, we recommend making predictions for the full album, debating Chris Martin's expression in the new press photos and considering the literal and figurative implications of every teardrop actually being a freakin' waterfall. Shit gets deep."

from MTV.com: "You probably didn't need that second cup of coffee Friday (June 3) morning if you heard Coldplay's caffeinated new single, "Every Teardrop Is a Waterfall." It premiered while most of us here in the States were just waking up and is certainly the kind of tune that can jump-start a day. Vaguely trance-y, slightly meditative and most definitely sunny, "Teardrop" is basically four minutes of pure, unadulterated uplift. Beginning with shimmering synth stokes, building steam on guitars both strummed and bent skyward and kicking into high gear on a thumping, four-on-the-floor house beat, it is a song in a state of constant build, growing more massive with each passing second. It's a single more eye-opening than a snoot-full of arabica. Frontman Chris Martin matches the wide-screen sonics with his lilting vocals, hitting the (many) "woah-oh-ohs" with aplomb and delivering refrains ("I turn the music up/ I got my records on") with a wiry persistence. The latter only adds to the song's dreamlike feel; the lines almost seem like a contemplative prayer, their repetition like layers in an ever-growing mantra that eventually leads to some sort of higher consciousness. The funny thing is, those lyrics -- which are all about finding solace in music and strength in self -- are also incredibly insular, and when paired with the unapologetically over-the-top music, they create a rather interesting dichotomy: This is, one can assume, a deeply personal song that Martin wrote for ... everybody in the entire world. Then again, that's seemingly the only way Coldplay do things, and "Teardrop" is certainly a worthy addition to their inspirational songbook. It also seems to fit the theme of their still-untitled new album, which Martin described as being "about life, the good stuff, the bad stuff, everything." And really, how can you sum up their brand-new single any better than that? So if I'm being a tad too professorial in my assessment of "Every Teardrop Is a Waterfall," you'll have to forgive me ... I guess I really miss that second cup of coffee."

I've had it on repeat for 3 hours nonstop too! :dazzled:

I think I've had ETiaW on repeat for a good 3 hours. :dazzled: ...I have problems. :bomb:

I'm in love with Coldplay all over again. This song is brilliant, with Brian Eno written all over it in shiny red lipstick. It's actually fun to dance too – something I'd never think I'd say about Coldplay. I can see why the Sun said the Swedish House Mafia would love to remix it; it's epic enough to be remixed and actually work. In conclusion, I love it to pieces. I turn my music up, I play my new favorite song.... :dazzled:

JUST DOWNLOADED IT. WOKE UP AT 7:00 EST, DOWNLOADED IT. STILL HAVEN'T LISTENED TO IT. BUT OH, I WILL.

10 hours to go, everybody in the East Coast of the USA! :dazzled:
