Heels, I just want you to know that you're amazing. TARHEELS = :dazzled:

I have a major crush on Ellen Page. :dazzled:

I love the voice effects in the studio version, but it would have so much better with the live instrumental. Like, SOOO much better. Rawer and richer.

It's NOT the same exact music. Whether or not you like the song, there's no denying that Coldplay are not the same band they used to be. Anyway, I made it very clear that I enjoy Paradise. A lot. This paro(-paro-paro)dy is, quite simply, a joke.

This is an extremely well thought-out post, and I appreciate the different perspective. Thank you.

Haha ok. I hoped you were joking. :laugh3:

Wait...you don't like Coldplay at ALL? :uhoh:

To be perfectly honest, I don't understand the appeal of Moving to Mars. How can you say that Major Minus and Paradise are overproduced and embrace Moving to Mars as a "classic" Coldplay track? Is it just because of the piano solo in the beginning? As for that guitar solo...it just makes me shudder. I guess Chris was just too lazy to sing the first part of the chorus, so he had Jonny play it. That tone...ugh. Also, Paradise may not be one of their better songs...but I think there's no denying that the production is fantastic. Kudos, Eno. :clap:

Us Against the World is the worst of the new songs. :laugh3:

Changed the lyrics slightly: "Was 'Yellow' just a passing phase?" to "Now their star is fading" Edit: 555th post. :D

Since when is Keane highly respected? :laugh3:

Well theoretically, they "sold out" because they traded real instruments for synthesizers, overdubs and overproduction to appeal to an even more mainstream audience. In other words, they compromised everything that made them "Coldplay" (their stripped down, piano-driven "raw" sound) in favor of more polished and arguably less emotional/"real" releases. Like I said though, this is pretty much a joke. I actually really like Paradise.

I actually wish it WERE called "Drunk." XD

"Every 'pinion, every 'pinion, every 'pinion's an opinion..." :guitarist:

"Every 'pinion, every 'pinion, every 'pinion's an opinion..." :rock:

Hmm...I see Win and Regine in your avatar... Did Arcade Fire give up their identity when they released Neon Bible? :P

Did Radiohead give up their identity when they released Kid A? Did U2 give up their identity when they released Achtung Baby? Just food for thought. ;)

Let's get one thing clear - I actually really like Paradise, so this isn't meant to be taken seriously. I just thought this would be fun. :P Edit: Thanks to Pai for the marvelous vocals! Parachutes (2.0) When the decade was young We discovered a beautiful song A walk alone down a beach A single from a masterpiece It was para, para, parachutes Para, para, parachutes Para, para, parachutes Wonderful, a great debut Then for reasons we don’t understand We fell in love with the band From “A Rush of Blood to the Head” To “Viva or Death and All of His Friends” But something happened, something changed them They sold out for the radio Now their star is fading You can pander to the public if you choose But the rest of us remember the real you We’ll dream of parachutes Para, para, parachutes Para, para, parachutes Oooh, oooh We’ll dream of parachutes Para, para, parachutes Para, para, parachutes Oooh, oooh Oh Coldplay, you are not the band we knew But singing ouuut, “the stars will always shine for you..." We'll dream of parachutes Para, para, parachutes Para, para, parachutes Oooh, oooh Remember parachutes Para, para, parachutes Para, para, parachutes Oooh, oooh We’ll dream of parachutes Para, para, parachutes Para, para, parachutes Oooh, oooh EDIT: Here's the youtube video! :dance: [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7ttmViGCpc0]Coldplaying - Parachutes 2.0 aka Para Para Parody (Official) - YouTube[/ame]

Bloom > Lp5 :nod:

I would argue that What If is BY FAR the worst single Coldplay has ever released.

This one is definitely debatable. :laugh3:

Pretty sure this is it (minus the paras, ooohs, and lalalas :lol). Paradise When she was just a girl She expected the world But it flew away from her reach So she ran away in her sleep And dreamed of paradise Every time she closed her eyes When she was just a girl She expected the world But it flew away from her reach And the bullets catch in her teeth Life goes on, it gets so heavy The wheel breaks the butterfly Every tear a waterfall In the night, the stormy night, she closed her eyes In the night, the stormy night, away she’d fly And dream of paradise She dreamed of paradise So lying underneath the stormy skies She’d say oh, I know the sun will set tonight This could be paradise This could be paradise This could be paradise

Para, para, parody... Para, para, parakeet...

You people talking about Coldplay should be ashamed. Totally ashamed. Disgraceful.
