Sure, that's cool, whenever you get a chance :). *Looks at last picture you quoted* Awwwwwwwwwwww. Young Chris/Jonny :heart:.

I thought I was his only mistress! How dare you! :lol:

:lol: Oh, my god, you're right! He's a fanboy!

Nobody seems to mind that I'm here (hopefully) :). I think it's good to spread the appreciation around.

That really is just too cute :D. I wonder how long it took him to master the unicycle?

Definitely would do that as well. Matter of fact, I've got all the lyrics typed up and ready to go for when we get ink and paper for our new printer.

Yeah, "Daylight" is a great choice, too. And "God Put A Smile Upon Your Face". Again I say, that "honey, honey" bit...that does things to me. *Shivers* He uses the word "honey" a few times throughout that album, I noticed. Which I approve of, 'cause he sounds really sexy and adorable saying it. I wholeheartedly agree. It's so great to have a newer band like this, one that you can claim from your generation or something. I'm glad they're famous, too. I always want bands I like to do well because that means there's more chance for me to run into other people who like them, too. I often tend to feel kinda isolated with my musical tastes, so I want a band to be well-known enough where I can bond with people over them. That hipster attitude...sorry, it just makes me want to do this: :rolleyes:. You don't own a band, you can't control who likes them (and those are often the same people who complain and moan and go, "Why do people listen to other crap and ignore stuff like this?" Can't win either way). Anywho...Chris...so this is my 500th post, I think I'm entitled to do a picspam now. Plus, I promised Row some hot pictures to cheer her up. So here goes: Enjoy :D.

Seems that way :p. But that's okay! For me somehow I just feel less weird typing it out than I do saying it out loud.

Am I crazy, or does it look like Chris lightly slaps Jonny's hand down before pulling him in for that kiss? If that's what he does, I don't know why, but that would just make the whole thing cuter. :nod: So do I. I love it when they're both smiling/laughing like that, like there's some little inside joke or something between them there. They really are far too cute together :heart:.

Indeed. It's a gorgeous song. It's after 4:30 am here. Ah, well. Maybe tomorrow or something we can chat about this in a more proper setting. To tie it back to Coldplay, though, I will say this: I'm listening to some of the songs from X&Y now, and am I the only one who hears perhaps a slight Finn influence in some of them? Like in the chorus to "What If" or during the song "X&Y" or something? If I ever find out the band likes the Finns/Crowded House/etc., that will make me love them all the more. (And if Neil Finn and Chris Martin/Coldplay ever did something together, then, my friend, you would see/hear THE epic freakout to end all epic freakouts)

Woohoo! I'm up for that. We're getting off topic again, though, so maybe we should gush somewhere else :p. That sucks. I do have that song on a couple CDs somewhere...

Nice! I wish we had something like that here.

It is. I have this thing about men with nice hair that I can run my fingers through. I don't know why, but it's just a really sexy feature for me on a guy. Agreed. That's why I don't get the snobby attitude towards newer fans-who cares when somebody came onboard in the fandom. We all love the music, so that's enough for me. I know what it's like to be a "newer fan", so I sympathize. I'm in sort of a strange position with Coldplay. Like I said, I've known and liked them from the start, back to 2000 and when I heard "Yellow", so in that regard I'm an "older fan". But I only in recent years really got further into them-I don't know why I didn't start buying up their stuff sooner, given I did like it-I think I'd meant to but for some reason never got a chance/got around to it/whatever, but eh, well. So technically I'm a "newer fan" in that regard. Everyone can like whatever era they want, have a favorite album, whatever, matters none to me. We've all got our preferences, and there's nothing wrong with any of them. I wish more people would realize that.

...well, yeah, that, too :p. Not sure if you were talking to one or both of us with that. But if you were talking to me, oh, god, I'm a HUGE fan of them. Seen them in concert (the new lineup, but still...) and everything. I'm pretty much in love with all things Finn-related. Agreed on "Fall At Your Feet". That was the highlight of the show I saw-damn near melted into a puddle during that song. If you weren't talking to me, then disregard that last part :lol:.

Yeah, really, talk about a generous boyfriend :D. Neat to hear that works sometimes, Kristal. Chris Martin: Enticing women the world over to eat and look healthy. Oh, hey, glad to have been of help, then! You're welcome.

If this is what kills you, can you honestly think of a better way to go :D? Enjoy!

Haha, I'm listening to the whole freaking album right now :lol:. That's hilarious, "violet bums"-I like that. I stumbled across the new video by accident, I had left it on VH1 for background noise and then the video started and the whole look of it had me curious, and then when the little thing came up announcing it was Coldplay I was like, "Ooh, cool, it's their new song, I'll check it out." And not only did I love the song, but the video was what made me fall for Chris, too. I was watching it and thinking, "Okay, so when did Chris Martin get hot?" Apparently I hadn't been paying any attention whatsoever for the previous eight years or so :laugh3:. Fully agreed, too on the lyrics-the whole album has some of the best lyrics they've ever written, I think. And the guitar-yes (forgot to mention, I love the guitar in "Yes", too. Go, Jonny. Rock on). When I heard "Violet Hill" I was like, "Well, anyone who says Coldplay can't rock can officially shut up now." Hats can either be really good or really awkward on him. I kind of prefer him hatless, for the most part. But that's probably because hats hide that lovely hair of his, and that's a crime to cover that up.

LMAO...I like that, that's a good point! Very true :nod:.

I've been fortunate enough to never experience an earthquake. But I live in the land of tornadoes (of which I pray to God I never experience firsthand), so I guess we'll call it even :p. Thanks. Okay, so it's just a small thing on the back. I was thinking that phrase was going to be in bigger font for some reason. Still funny and weird, though. I like how he was so eager to go watch Adele's performance.

Oh, that is nice. The hat's odd, but somehow it works, too. Good night :).

It surprised me a bit, too. Up to that point I owned Parachutes and knew (and loved) all their well-known songs, but that was about as far as my general knowledge of them went at that time. So when "Violet Hill" first came on TV I remember looking at the screen going, "THIS is Coldplay?!" Fell in love with that song, read a glowing review of the album in People, of all places, that made it sound very intriguing, and voila, I'm off buying it and from that point on, slowly but surely, my deeper interest in the band begins. Wholeheartedly agreed on this, too ("42" is fantastic as well. Another one of my favorites from that album). Viva La Vida actually is my personal favorite album, but I adore A Rush Of Blood, too. Like I said, though, I can find something to love about all their work, every album is special to me for one reason or another. And I will fully support them trying new things. Even if they do something I don't care for, I will still like the fact that they were willing to take risks.

:nod: My thoughts exactly. And that is why that is my favorite song from Viva La Vida (well, that and the fact that the song just rocks-I love the strings throughout). It actually took me a few listens to appreciate that song at first, 'cause for some strange reason I got some sort of southern swampy vibe from the opening music and that thought sort of weirded me out for some reason. I don't know why. But then I started to pay attention to the lyrics, and liked how dark and intriguing they were, and I REALLY liked hearing Chris sing in his low voice, and after a while I was like, "This song is really sexy." And now it's one of my absolute favorite Coldplay songs. Like I said a while back, when it gets to that "But it's not easy when she turns you on" line...well. Cue the pervy thoughts. Man. Now I want to go listen to "Yes" :p. I agree on it proving his diversity, too. For anyone who thinks of Coldplay and thinks of or only knows their pretty piano songs like "Trouble" or "The Scientist", or acoustic guitar stuff from Parachutes and such, I'm pretty sure Viva La Vida surprised them a bit.

Ooh, I want to hear that. Boom Boom? Okay :lol:.

I know I am :nod:. I'd never seen that interview before, it's new to me. I liked hearing his comments about Mylo Xyloto, about being fearless and trying new things, and not caring about "relevancy"-I think it's a pretty convincing argument/statement for the sound and direction they went with for this album. And I agree with his description of the album as "colorful" :D. Listening to interviews on headphones makes me realize just how deep his voice is sometimes, and it sounds even sexier as a result. Excellent inspiration for an avatar, too-man, he looks so incredibly good in that interview.

:laugh3: Good to hear Californians are okay :).
