And as 12/8 is = 6/4 (and is a more neat), we come to my first post saying: 6/4 - 4/4 - 4/4. :D

No, not every Will's 'kick' means downbeat. :) Theoretically - irrelevant to time signature. That's why I wrote "simplified harmony" in my earlier post. Key point is 9th tone in melody - tone 'd'. It's on obviously downbeat and not third beat (downbeat) in 7/8 as your score suggested.

No, both are not possible because you have to consider the role of the beats in 4/4 (2/4) and those in 7/8. Look at my score, I put '>' sign on the downbeat, where it should be and what is the main reason why it is 4/4+2/4 and not 7/8. Try to play with this simplified harmony, and you will see the difference. http://i53.tinypic.com/2isghs8.jpg p.s. It's g-minor/B-flat-major. :)

Sorry, that's just wrong, there is no 7/8 in Charlie Brown. :) I can write sheet music if you want. :) STW is right, Hartroc too.

It is not in 4/4 all the time, that's for sure. Most of the time - yes, but there are some moments where it turns into 6/4 (or two bars with 3/4, whatever you prefer). And it's not really anything unusual to do it that way. I wonder is this the first time Coldplay does it...

It's 4/4 most of the time, except in first bar of guitar solo (6/4) and in first bar of verse (6/4). So, in this video: 0.28 - 0.31 is 6/4 and then 4/4. Same thing with 0.42 - 0.44 (6/4), followed by 4/4, until 0.54 - 0.57 (6/4): ............I....sto..le.the....key 1....2....3....4....5....6..|..1....2....3....4....|
