Wow. Some of those chords are beautiful. I love it when he sings "So it's over" Beautiful! I really really like this song.

Aw thanks so much! :) Make sure to tell us when Up in Flames is up you champion!

What was Paradise like live?

I can't wait to hear Up in Flames

Sorry for being so dense, but i'm confused. Does that mean we can watch Coldplay tomorrow? Or does their performance not include the festival? Please don't tell me we have to wait for New years.

Anyway for us to watch it right now?

What? I thought this was tomorrow? Why are there tweets in the present tense!?!?

It's: Just erodes us the in rain, Just erodes us in the rain, Just see roses, see roses in the rain. Confirmed by the graffiti.

How does any of what I said about Paradise's lyrics contradict any of what I said? Yes, Paradise has shit lyrics. However Every Teardrop is a Waterfall doesn't, it's my favourite song. Major Minus doesn't. Charlie Brown doesn't. Hurts Like Heaven doesn't. Us Against the World doesn't. Princess of China doesn't. And I'm willing to wager many of the unheard songs won't either. One example of one song having bad lyrics does not give you the right to claim that Chris Martin has been destroyed by money and fame. That's fucking obnoxious. To be honest, Chris Martin has never been a brilliant lyricist. He write simple lyrics that are at times poignant, but mostly fun and catchy. If you compare him to someone like Ben Gibbard he falls incredibly short. I love Chris to death, and Coldplay are my favourite band - but if you are trying to tell me that he was once an amazing lyricist, I'm going to have to strongly disagree there. And by the way, I can think of a few songs from the old era that had shit lyrics too. I'm absolutely sick to death of all this sensationalist nonsense so many of us are spewing about the band. You hear one song you don't like and start claiming ridiculously outrageous things. I'm sorry, but that doesn't fly. You can't fling rubbish around that carelessly. Not without proof. And no, one song isn't proof. Especially when there are a half a dousand other songs written in the same time period that have fantastic lyrics. You make no sense. By the way, Us Against the World is probably one of the strongest songs Chris has even written. Oh morning come bursting, the clouds, they move Lift off this blindfold, let me see again And bring back the water, that your ships rode in In my heart you left a hole The tightrope that I’m walking just sways and ties The devil as he’s talking with those angel’s eyes And I just want to be there when the lightning strikes And the saints go marching in And sing slow it down Through chaos as it swirls It’s just us against the world -- That's beautiful. And that's as strong as ever. I think those lyrics are miles stronger than Sparks or Warning Sign. So much for Chris being destroyed by fame....

Fuck me, why don't you save the dramatic cry baby stuff until the album has actually come out.

I want to bang him like a bannana

This is a fantastic example of a cherry picked argument. You don't like MX so to criticize it you point out the fact that Johnny only has one moment during Paradise. But you forget Hurts Like Heaven, Charlie Brown and Major Minus - three songs that involve him extremely heavily. Please point to a song from the older albums that features Jonny as extensively as those three? You can't. Also, ETIAW's chorus is Jonny's riff.

Glad you came around!

The young one is a chump, you gotta get fly and you gotta get with the guy who bangs hollywood stars and has big arms.

All you're doing is labeling yourself. Give in to the dong.

Let's just thank God he isn't a stupid little pansy anymore! GOOO MYLOOO GOO!

Your wish is my comand! FUCK YEAH!

Male. Female. Homosexual. Heterosexual. Transsexual. Bisexual. Dog. Cat. These are just labels people. Just labels. Labels that only serve to restrict our passion, our creativity and our inspiration. It's time to drop these labels, and speak today about something that matters. We gather here today to admire, nay, worship a specimen. But not just any specimen, a prize specimen. More specifically, the arms of a prize specimen. When I first became a fan of Coldplay, the lead singer - Mr Chris Martin - was a skinny little dweeb. A loser. An outcast. He sung about feelings, he sung about things that matter and he composed songs that were deep and meaningful. What a little tosser. Take a look at that skinny little idiot. Notice the lack of bulk in his arms. Not only was his body image totally lame but so where his lyrics. "Look at the earth from outer space Everyone must find a place Give me time and give me space Give me real don't give me fake Give me strength, reserve control Give me heart and give me soul Give me time, give us a kiss Tell me your own politik And open up your eyes" Seriously? Hah. What knobhead would ever think of that? Feelings are for girls, and that's exactly what Chris Martin was acting like. A stupid little girl. Thank fully for all of us, he met a film star. But not just any film star, a smoking hot blone babe called Gwyneth. (Ok, I'll be honest - the name is a huge turn off.) It was then Chris discovered something amazing. The more and more he banged Gwyneth, the cooler and cooler he got. He started to attack photographers! YEAAAHH!! He started to call his children random objects throughout the house. YEAAAAHH!!! He started to write BETTER LYRICS!!! No more was he being weak and singing about things that made people think, he started to write like a true genius! "Life goes on, it gets so heavy!" "Para, para, para, para, para" "waawawawawwa" "oohohooooo" "SHE FLY AWAY AT NIGHT" "Puzzles have pieces in them" "Every salmon is a tasty, nutritious way to enjoy lunch time" "Every mylo is a xylophone". YEAAAAHH!!! But perhaps most importantly of all, he developed the sexiest arms known to man. Arms that are so strong they could crush a walrus. Arms that are so toned they could tune a piano. Arms that we have gathered here today to discuss. And let this be a message to all of us. Whether we are Male, female, homosexual, heterosexual, transsexual, bisexual, dogs or cats we must all strive to be exactly like Chris Martin. The Chris Martin of today. Not the loser of the past. So go, Chris Martin and let your dreams soar as high as the stars. Let your arms continue to turn everyone on. And keep on smashing that blonde girl, you big fucken hero! Fly away! P.S: What are the other band members called? The bassist is pretty fly but the other two look homeless.

Oh no, no no no no no [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4lPyllahuXc&feature=related]Samel L. Jackson says "nein" for 10 minutes - YouTube[/ame] ^ Sums up my thoughts

? I'm very familiar with Radiohead. I've been a fan forever. You don't have to link me songs, I know what they sound like.

No one really likes Radiohead's new album. They just say they do in order to look like they have sophisticated tastes. edit: Codex was awesome though.

Okay, that's it, I'm putting the foot down. Have you got a source for this? Why on Earth is everyone saying this? It's so god damn pretentious. Just because you don't like the new artistic direction Coldplay are taking does not mean they are trying to appeal to more people or trying to make money or selling out or going "mainstream". By the way, Coldplay have been "mainstream" since Yellow. Everyone in the Western world knows their songs, I really don't think that gives us the right to act like hipsters. Maybe Coldplay have changed their sound because they wanted to? Ever think of that? Judging from their comments in the past they place huge importance on changing a sound. It makes me lose a lot of face that so many of you just resort to calling them sell outs or saying they are trying to appeal to everyone. I don't believe that for a second, they have huge integrity and they do what they want to do. Do you really think after VLV they want more fans? I'm pretty certain their only concern is making music they love. I don't know how you can call yourself a Coldplay fan then start screaming "SELLOUT" as soon as they change their style to something you don't like. Surely you know better than that. Chris, Guy, Jonny and Will aren't sellouts, they have oodles of artistic integrity and they do whatever the fuck they want to do. *breathes in*. Sorry if that sounded rude, but i've had it with seeing so many people claim this without anything other than their own opinion to back it up. It's not good enough.

I love how the old fans are saying Yellow was deep. Paradise and ETIAW are far more complex songs sonically than anything on Parachutes was.

How is any of what he said hateful at all? I know it hurts you to read, but maybe you should try it.

It depends on the performance. Have you seen all of the performances of the song? Some sound great. But yes, a few of them sound incredibly rushed. Glastonbury's performance sounded like a kid rushing through a monologue at his class exam. It was a jumble, could barely hear what was going on at all.
