Hahaha yeah it would be so un-Will!! :lol:

So I googled "Coldplay crazy" for reasons, and this is one of the results Google Images came up with :| I just :| I mean I-

Mysterious but realistic one-off posts will be the death of me someday :bomb:

When the most effective alarm is a Coldplay song, because hearing a Coldplay out of nowhere sends like an electric shock to your brain and gets you up in half a second :lol:

Do you think Will and his family ever have karaoke nights and sing We Are The Champions together? :awesome:

I like how they assume Pectoralz was, like, a real band that Chris and Jonny totally "worked" in. :lol::lol: But it's nice to see an article on them for once. :wacky:

Hey there! Welcome! :D My reason for being a Coldplay fan is simply that i love their music so much, it's stuck with me through life and adventures of the past few years. :wacky:

NME share their take on the meaning of Parachutes to celebrate the 15th anniversary. Includes nice pics of our favourite band when they were just starting! Coldplay: The Hidden Stories And Meanings Behind Every Song on 'Parachutes' Revealed Coldplay released their debut album 15 years ago this week - an enigmatic indie whisper that set them on course to life as one of the biggest bands on the planet. But where did each track come from and what does it all mean? There are whispers that Coldplay's next album, 'A Head Full Of Dreams', will be their last. But 15 years ago this week, Chris Martin's band released their very first LP - the majestic and subtle 'Parachutes'. It kickstarted their rise into one of the planet's biggest bands - but what is each track really about? Here's a guide... 'Don't Panic': An early version of the dreamy, downbeat opener of 'Parachutes' had been around since 1998. Only then, it was called 'Panic' and inspired by "slightly disastrous evening Chris had spent entertaining a young lady called Alice Hill." A reworked version was recorded for 1999's 'The Blue Room' EP, and then retooled again for 'Parachutes', with added use of a pump organ to boot. 'Shiver': Inspired by a mysterious woman who Martin was infatuated with, 'Shiver' also betrays the frontman's obsession with another figure: US singer Jeff Buckley. He later admitted: "It's a blatant Jeff Buckley attempt. Not quite as good, that's what I think. We were 21 and he was very much a hero, and as with those things it tends to filter through." 'Spies': Coldplay's stealthy tribute to the world of espionage, and the toll it takes on those who have to live with dual identities: "I awake to find no peace of mind/ I said how do you live/ As a fugitive?" It's been claimed that the band, all big fans of the James Bond film series and film composer John Barry, saw it as their ode to the 007 agent. 'Sparks': Unlike 'Shiver', where Martin casts himself as a luckless loser when it comes to love, on 'Sparks' he's trying to convince an ex that he's worth another punt – but there's also a sly hint, too, that he knows he'll let her down again. "And I know I was wrong," he sings over the gentle acoustic guitar. "But I won't let you down/ Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah, yeah I will, yes I will." 'Yellow': Legend has it that, while outside a recording studio in Wales, Martin was so taken with the stars in the night sky that he began composing a song. He felt it was missing one key lyric until he spied a Yellow Pages inside the studio. Et voila! Beware, though: he's also claimed that that the song started life as a Neil Young impersonation to entertain some guests. 'Trouble': One of the anthemic highlights of 'Parachutes', and a song that built bridges between the band and helped mend rocky relationships, too. "There were some bad things going in our band," Martin has said of the song's meaning. "The song is about behaving badly towards somebody you really love and I was certainly doing that to some members of the band." 'Parachutes': The LP's title track is a brief interlude that clocks in at just 46 seconds. "In a haze, a stormy haze/ I'll be round, I'll be loving you always," sings Martin. Originally, he and his bandmates had planned on calling their debut 'Don't Panic' or 'Yellow', but decided that 'Parachutes', a metaphor for something that helps you to safety when in danger, was less depressing. 'High Speed': More relationship angst, as a helter-skelter romance is compared to the dangers of hurtling along in a high-speed aircraft. "Can anybody fly this thing?" asks Martin of his wobbly situation. "Before my head explodes/ Or my head starts to ring." 'We Never Change': Coldplay's early-life crisis, in which Martin frets over how he wants to live life. "I want to fly/ And never come down," he declares early, looking for excitement, but later he flip-flops to simpler pleasures: "So I want to live in a wooden house." The chorus, though, suggests it's all for nothing; plan all you like, but you'll never stick to the sweeping changes. 'Everything's Not Lost': The last song of 'Parachutes' also contains a secret hidden track, the horn-parping 'Life Is For Living', delivering a rousing climax: a way of washing away any of the doubts and fears that have gone before and looking to the future: "When you thought that it was over/ You could feel it all around/ Everybody's out to get you/ Don't you let it drag you down." Link What's your take on this, folks?

THREAD CLOSED! Thank you so much everyone for your participation! We've had some really interesting questions. We hope you enjoyed it too :D Congratulations to Esther Goodman (and PrincessofChina), for this is the winning question: We will get back to you with the answer, hopefully quite soon ;) x

My favourite moment on the 2005 set is their cover of Can't get you out of my head (oh, the Buckin, the glorious Buckin :awesome: )...although I haven't watched it in a while and there are probably a dozen other moments that are just as brilliant as this one! That was such an awesome one! As for 2011, the whole set is so energetic and powerful, simply perfect! Particularly loved Politik and when they mess up Us Against the World :D

Ouuuh good idea too! We haven't seen much in the media about how it all came together!

Ohmygod guys!! So many amazing questions already!!! This is really awesome! Please remember to vote for your favourites! And remember to vote responsibly ;)

Coldplayers, We have some pretty great news for you! While our next installment of Coldplaying Asks Coldplay will be posted very soon, we thought that, for the following one, YOU should get the opportunity to ask a question to your favourite band! Think of the ONE thing that you have always dreamt to ask them, but never had the opportunity to..all these days scrolling through The Oracle, thinking "geez, I wish my question would be answered"...all these tweets and facebook comments, among thousands and thousands of others, like a needle in a haystack...Well, maybe this is your shot! How it works: From today until the 30th June 23:59 CET, post the question you would like to ask the band. Now, of course we can't flood them with MILLIONS of questions..so you will vote for the question that you think is the best (most relevant/interesting/unique..). The vote will take the form of a click on a green "thumb up" on the question. We will pick the question that has the most "thumbs up" on the deadline. So that there is no confusion, please only post one question per post! Moreover, please make sure to read every question that is posted here before sharing your own question, so that there are not too many similar questions. Again, this is to make sure that there is no confusion, and to increase your chances for your question to win! You cannot put a thumb up on your own post, so you cannot vote for yourself. However, you are free to convince other members to vote for your question, by explaining in your post why this question deserves to win. In the event of a tie, there will be a poll with the most popular questions, to determine which one should win. The question: The question may be sent to all the band members. Now if the winning question is directly asked to Will/Chris/Guy/Jonny+Phil, that works too, but keep in mind that this is an opportunity to get your question across to the whole band. (I'll just let that sink in for a sec :awesome: ) While we would love to hear more and know everything about their upcoming album, A Head Full Of Dreams, they are obviously entitled not to answer any question that would reveal too much...So it's up to you to try and work around that ;) Basically, they are entitled not to answer any question that they find offensive/invasive/seriously-too-creepy-who-are-these-people-even...so be responsible with your question and your vote! We would hate to see this incredible and rare opportunity go to waste! The winning question will be sent to the band on 1st July, to have an answer to share with you in the following weeks. So get your thinking caps on, Coldplayers! :D

Right now I'm at the stage where I would just like them to announce the goddamn date, whatever that date actually turns out to be :lol:

Ouuuh could be! But when you read the conversation, it sounds like he was just "reassuring" the one asking the question and playing along...

Aaaah damn, you screwed our big reveal! :angry: Ugh.. :disappointed:

Bahahahahahaa same!

Man, I would have loved to hear him sing along :dazzled: Also during With or Without You, he could really be like "hey! Hey! I totally did that a few months ago! :cool:" And you gotta love that snap: "chRIS MARTIN" :lol::lol: i feel you :nod:

What a song! :dazzled: Man, if that's what they come up with now for a simple goodbye song, I can't wait to hear LP7! :awesome: Whether it's an old tune that was just hiding there at the bottom of a box in the Bakery/deep in the abysses of a hard drive, or completely new material, this just reminds us how brilliant Coldplay are at ballads. They just get it, you know? :wacky:

ouh that is rather British for a German saying :surprised::lol: See this is one big reason why I love Coldplaying :wacky: Fans stick together and do their best to accomplish some great projects! Even if this is very unlikely, I'm hopeful something good is coming for this.
