I don't think he is saying that. He's just saying he probably doesn't believe in a God and he thinks organised religion causes some problems. I can agree with him on the latter.

I really like it, but I think it's a tad too short. It seems to really get going and the little piano part starts and it ends too soon. I think making this a 4:30 long song would have been better. But that's just what I would have done.

Hmm interesting. I think it's called Charlie Brown because Charlie Brown is the classic cartoon character. He is innocent, he has adventures and he has a free heart. The whole "cartoon heart" rhetoric really applies to him.

Ich wette, du bist schön

Says who? You? A critic? How does any of that matter? How does any of that change Chris' point?

Thom Yorke says something smug/mean/pretentious in every single interview he is in. That's what makes him him. And it's awesome. I think the whole point Chris was making is why can't Katy Perry and karma police be in the same sentence? Why does everyone have to be so hung up on what is intellectually trendy to like? Why can't we just like what we like?

It is? I guess it's just felt normal to me.

God I love how honest and carefree Chris Martin is. He is one of the few frontmen in popular music who never comes across pretentious and never tries to play the "MY MUSIC IS ART AND POP MUSIC IS BAD" smug bullshit that so many others (*cough* Mr Yorke *cough*) do.

I come from a Bahá'í family. So that.

Hey guys. Don't really know why I'm putting this here, but I guess I just need a place to vent. Nearly six months ago, my little sister died five days after being in a car crash near Amiens. She had head trauma and died of a brain aneurysm on the 10th of May. The coroner thought it was suspicious that the hospital staff didn't act on the head injuries, and instead focused on the injuries to her legs. Anyway, so they made an inquiry and made a court case out of it. Which was really difficult, because we were all trying to grieve whilst there were coroners and lawyers all down our neck. My Mum came to France for the legal proceedings all the way from Japan. Like all legal processes, things started out really - really slow and there wasn't much process. It all looked rather 50/50 and no one was sure of the quality of treatment. But recently a nurse has come forward and has shed quite a bit of light on the situation. Apparently my sister was bleeding from the ears (which, as you all know I'm sure, is a sign of head trauma) when she was admitted into hospital. She was treated by a nurse, who wrote on her chart that she needed head treatment. The chart was then misplaced, and a new one was put in its place - without any mention of her head injury. They did one CT scan quite early on in the process, and it was inconclusive. Throughout the last five days of her life, her head injuries got worse and worse and there was still very little treatment. By the time they realised and attempted to save her, she died. Anyway, now the coroner has claimed that my sister would still be alive if the hospital had acted in accordance with correct procedure. I'm currently in med school, so I'm even more angered by what has happened because I know how fucking simple it would have been to do something about it. It's horrible losing a sibling, but it's even worse when you are told they would still be alive if it wasn't for someone else's incompetence. So I feel like my heart has completely broken. The inquiry finishes up in 2 weeks, but at this stage my family is going to get between 5-10 million euros. 90% of it will go to our relatives in Algeria and Pakistan - who are barely living above poverty and get them houses and passports to live here in France. Obviously this money means next to nothing to us. I just want my sister back. Isn't it funny the only way we can help our family who are in trouble is by getting paid out by the government because your sister died? So I feel like im completely shattered now. I felt completely numb for the whole six months after she died. I guess it was shock? But now i dont feel numb anymore, i feel really hurt. dont really know what to do. I guess I just wish i didn't know. Like I said before, I've got no idea why I'm putting this here.. But I guess I need a place to get this all off my chest. My sister was the most beautiful person in the world. I never met someone with so much soul about every single little thing they did. She was literally perfect. We were brought up in horrible environments, and yet somehow she came out completely untouched by the negativity around her. She never did anything to hurt anyone or anything. Her eyes and her smile had the ability to completely make your day and despite her being two years younger than me, she was my role model. She was also my best friend and I pray to God everyday that it was me in that car instead of her. I wish I told her I loved her the last time i saw her but i didnt i didnt say anything. just before she died in the hospital she was going in and out of consciousness and when i walked in the room she woke up and tried to tell me something but she couldnt speak and she wanted to tell me something really bad and ill never know what it was. Every time i sleep i dream of it and i cant escape it no matter what i do. Tell your relatives and friends that you care for them, because a stranger can take them away literally any second. Live with no regrets and fuck everyone else.

What? Who the fucks that lol. My avatar is of Tupac Shakur. edit: I just googled Johan Djourou, and they do look kind of alike. Kinda. Similar eyes.

I think technically Mylo Xyloto is loads better than A Rush of Blood to the Head. It's far more innovative, there is more depth to it and it's more cohesive. Viva is better than Rush too. Opinions make the world go round baby.

I really, really like this set list.. It's not plausible for a few reasons, but boy I wish they'd use it.

Fix You and ETIAW are perfect for an encore. But I'm not a huge fan of clocks at all. My three perfect encore songs would be: DLIBYH/LIT2 Fix You ETIAW

I'm sure somewhere, right now, some kid is finally kissing the girl of his dreams for the first time. I think of that when I'm upset. It makes me genuinely happy! Go kid, go!

but what if my popular drug addict treetz me g00d and buyz me diamondz?

sorry, i didn't mean to sound harsh at all. i'm sorry. I was trying to be uplifting and to the point. sorry

It's certainly a happy ending. That's the whole point - they DON'T get back together. What would we have taken out of it if they broke up then got back together and everything was ok? What message would there be in that? Barely any. But making it so they don't get back together, but still manage to be happy and move on as better people is beautiful. I think it's incredibly inspiring. I think you've got your idea of a love story locked into your head and anything different can't be a happy ending.

What? I never said AHt and DLIBYH is them getting back together. They break up during POC and UIF. AHT and DLIBYH is where they move forward positively and get over it. Hence the title. They "don't let it break their hearts". It's not sad at all. I don't see where I'm losing you lol.

:facepalm: The breakup in MX stops being sad at AHT. AHT marks the point where they change their line of thinking. Like I said earlier it's about getting over hardship and realising that you're stronger because of it. They "don't let it break their hearts", they start again, the move on and they know "good things are coming their way". How is any of that sad? I think it's incredibly uplifting without being tacky and cheesy. I know the interpretation of Christmas lights. It's about being alone on Christmas and wishing you were back together. That's INCREDIBLY Christmassy. Christmas is a time where you are connected with loved ones, and when you aren't with them Christmas sucks. That's what the song is about. I can't comprehend how you don't see how it would be strange after the perfect ending with UWTB, morphing into a Christmas ballad. It would be laughably bad. But whatevs. I'm tired. If you want the last song of MX to be a Christmas song, just include it on your Ipod so it plays that way. Do what you want :) x

And White Christmas is actually about hope and optimism, according to Irving Berlin - the musical genius who wrote the song. And according to Bing Crosby. The man who recorded it. Let's chuck that on MX too then? Mylo Xyloto certainly has a happy ending. "A simple plot. And I know one day, good things are coming our way".. It's about moving on with loss and being stronger because of it. I think you've misinterpreted the hell out of it. And about the whole "CHRISTMAS LIGHTS ISN'T ABOUT CHRISTMAS!" thing.... Most Christmas songs draw paralells to relationships, because Christmas is heavily connected to that. More break ups, more get together and more suicides over lost love happen on Christmas day than probably any other. Christmas is very heavily connected to relationships. Listen to songs like Fairytale of New York, White Christmas and Let It Snow. None of those are explicitly about Christmas. Fairytale of New York is about the same sort of thing Christmas Lights is. White Christmas is about holding on to hope and optimism throughout hard times. Let it Snow is about being reckless and carefree and happy go lucky. THEY ARE STILL ALL CHRISTMAS SONGS. THEY STILL DON'T FIT.

Do you have any idea how ridiculous it would sound and how off putting it would be if, after 40 minutes of spray can soul - carefree pop/hip hop music about oppression, creavitiy and human expression it went straight into: "Oh when you're still waiting for the snow to fall Doesn't really feel like Christmas at all Still waiting for the snow to fall It doesn't really feel like Christmas at all Those Christmas lights Light up the street Down where the sea and city meet May all your troubles soon be gone Oh Christmas lights keep shining on" It would sound ridiculous and every reviewer in the world would be scratching their head. So I guess it's Christmas now? Right. They went from singing about princesses, graffiti and rebellion and started singing about Christmas? people these days... How you can think Christmas Lights fits the rhetoric expressed in MX really, really baffles me.

cos mx is a christmas record
