What are Coldplay's greatest melodies ?
Love is the melody of all great music, and Co. have done it well. It's said Glastonbary is near to Earth's 4th Chakra, the Heart (Hear i(ai) T)...May Buddha (in you, like Home in you) helps this time :)

Fix you is the 10th most timeless song of all time
One day recently, I heard Clock's Home, home, where I wanted to go... coming out of a shopping wall...and it's been quite a while or even years, and I didn't remember when to come across a co. song on the street last time...another day, hearing Hey Jude...seeing U2's 1980-1990 album cover and Co.'s Magic/O cover T-shirts several times within a couple of days...maybe those are the signs for sth. Fix you really helped me a lot, and it will help a lot of me, and you for sure...may laight guide you home when this incarnation ends, or any "now" you need it, look inside, it is there and never leaves you~

First Single Predictions!
When "A Head Full Of Dreams" tend to be a "closing chapter", song titles could be about different dreams driven by the past, and on-for the future - maybe the signs for your spiritual growth, or simply make you let it be and move on? By spiritual practice, dreams indeed could be the images from both the past or the future when Timeline is still perceived as Real. A saying cited here for someone, "It really takes unusual wisdoms to know (understand and prove) that life is merely a dream, but then, still, better to live as a full circle" - A Buddhist Master.

Earth Chakras, Sacred Sites and Their Locations & Numerology Reading for Bob Dylan
Here are two interesting articles I found around 11.11.2014 [2014+11+11=11], and more or less, connected with music, journeys, and major life themes... Earth Chakras, Sacred Sites and Their Locations http://earthchakras.org/Locations.php "The Grail, directed by the Will of the Earth spirit, has the power to dissolve all boundaries between nations. If the heart of the Earth expands to its full circle, then – throughout the world – pain, suffering, and physical death among all species will fade from experience and memory" - to the last line of All Your Friends video Excerption from No.4 Heart Chakra "It was said during Medieval times that if the Abbot of Glastonbury married the Abbess of Shaftesbury, then their children would be wealthier than the King of England. This is an alchemical riddle. If you unite the archetypes of the two areas, then love is united with will in a way that is revolutionary. For those who study the Cabala, this alchemical formula unites Binah (Grail) with Chokmah (Wand). The Grail, directed by the Will of the Earth spirit, has the power to dissolve all boundaries between nations. If the heart of the Earth expands to its full circle, then – throughout the world – pain, suffering, and physical death among all species will fade from experience and memory. The most famous legend of Glastonbury tells the story of Joseph of Arimathea and the Holy Grail. After the Resurrection of Jesus, Joseph shifted the archetype of Everlasting Life – the Grail – from Jerusalem to Glastonbury. This ritual act established the foundation for the eventual shift of the mobile world sixth chakra from the activation circle for the Aeon of Pisces, 2000 years ago, to the present Aquarian Aeon area in western Europe. Currently, the mobile sixth chakra is conjunct the world heart chakra. To move world solar plexus energies to Chakra Four, the principal direction is from Uluru-Katatjuta to Bali to Mt. Kailas (Chakra Seven), to Sergiev Posad, Russia to Shaftesbury-Glastonbury. As this Rainbow Serpent force travels around the world it absorbs and releases information at the various sites. Shaftesbury, in particular, acts to decode information brought by the Rainbow Snake from Mt. Kailas, in Tibet. It is also possible to shift the force from Chakra Three to Four by utilizing the opposite direction on the Rainbow Snake – from Uluru to Lake Titicaca, over the Azores, into Cornwall, and up to Glastonbury-Shaftesbury. Also, a simultaneous dual impulse in both directions would complete a great world circle involving the Following Earth Chakras: Two, Three, Four, Six, and Seven." Numerology Reading for - Bob Dylan Born: May 24, 1941 YOUR FOUNDATIONAL NUMBER IS 8 http://www.thedreamtime.com/spirit/num_celeb/bobd.html Excerption: "We are all travellers on the road of life and each of us has our own path to travel at our own pace. Your Foundational Number represents your primary life purpose and provides the theme for your overall life experience. Once we embrace and integrate our 'reason for being' we no longer seek excuses, blame others or deny personal responsibility. Then we travel our personal path with knowledge of what our primary path looks like and thus avoiding unnecessary detours. Then the journey will be travelled with excitement, joy and renewed energy" I feel such as some "heavenly" sent spiritual gifts to aid the concurrent world wide transition and personal transformations within. May you be helped and your wish come true~ *_*Namo Amitabha*_* [Amitabha Pure Land is always open to all souls willing to immigrate, and may you get the "visa" within this incarnation]

John Hopkins about collaborating with Coldplay [Billboard interview]
During the sessions, Hopkins played singer Chris Martin an original composition called "Light Through the Veins," which would eventually become Viva la Vida opener "Life in Technicolor." Thanks for the post~

The Official Ice Cream Thread
If the ice cream could be "musicized", with each flavor/style matching to different genres or songs [with different cookies, fruits, beans etc.], that would be interesting to order :p . Or for DIY trends, you could make your own "rendition" of, say Yellow = Mango +Star fruit [some tropical fruits]. Play the song, then you could get one cup free :)

The Awesome Random Posting Thread
Meditation? I wish I could have gotten to know it much younger...by my meditation experience, it helps to be in peaceful, mind-clear [your mind will not be dominated by stopless thoughts, or psychologically, either calming down or showing sth. repressed or unconscious of or neglected, many interesting functions/effects], and intuition practicing state. It is supposed to be a way to enter into a state which might lead to open up tremendous potentials of the spirits [or other words]. As I read that by meditations, a group of students around 10, or even younger [or the younger the better] tend to show Third-Eye functions - they can "read [being showed in front of the eyes automatically]" the words/graphs on the paper when closing the eyes, and it usually takes 20-30 mins of meditation to enter into such states. Other related research indicates the brain waves of such states might be similar to Alpha wave, which is connected to functions of Imaginative, Creative, Joyfulness, strong intuitions, or even telepathic communications... Another story I learnt from an expert of California Institute of Integral Studies,CIIS [very open and support cross-discipline studies, for example, using Meditations to psychological/mental theraphy], is that many US companies begin to encourage the employees using working breaks for Meditation, as they found it is helpful to improve efficiency, collaboration etc. Or, besides its beneficial effects, your curiosity [third eye etc.], it is an Entrance to greater truth of the universe, and the "residential being" like you or me or the pet :) Some links in my signature :)

"O" is gonna be my favorite track!
hmm, same flight feelings captured. If put Gravity and O together - a really good pair, and the meaning of Fly On could be felt more prominantly - maybe a progress from Gravity, even there is a difference/gap between "will fly with you" and "can fly with you". This song might be a good company for Chris, hence very personal as he indicated. @jose, afraid not yet [or there is an O recording for the Film, but getting cut off in the final NBC release, same for UK version?], if so, a decision on how to present the children's voices? like to hear the Live though @atlas2000, a natural connection, the song itself is quite Image connected, reminding me of the flight photos of birds in California I took too:)

The Awesome Random Posting Thread
Just think to compile the posts here to make a book, would that be halirous to read :p lol~ The title could just be <<The Awesome Random Posting Thread >> ... There is a new feeling about O, the energy of bird flying - a song capturing that very right...maybe Chris was a bird in some time/space. He did mention bird reincarnation a few years ago~

Random Coldplay thoughts...
Heard Clocks broadcasting in a local shpping mall today, which is quite rare...echoing of Home...

What does it mean "amgvjcnkjajrmyrm"?
That's for sure:)
-
A Ghost Stories poem type thing
lol:) another way of writing practice is to embedding the exact song meanings in the context as well...I think it could also mean the elements of life are more or less similar, but the sequence and how you see it/interpret it/understand it make different "story lines", hence your own traces. For example, imagine different Parachutes floating in the air...always think there could be another Album Title, such as Story of O, other than Ghost Stories...

Is O the best song Coldplay have ever recorded?
It is like to ask what‘s the best time of your life...

Congratulations! *Clapping Hands*, isn't life a kind of miracle? It seems coldplay has "helped" you at a good timing~ Thanks for sharing the story here~ Best wishes for you two:) If you've been in Co. community [in a bigger sense] for long enough, moving stories ~ they are quite many actually, which is why we love Coldplay always:)

Handwritten lyrics
There was once upon a time when http://www.coldplay.com launched a well designed "star timeline" portal which combined lots of handwritten style notes [or band diaries you may call] introducing new stuff while remembering the older events on highlighted Days. I happened to keep a few, but not the lyrics: https://mega.co.nz/#!VsQz3BST!vC1hzKXw4UZGFGd4iZTnUnP7q4ZKeFgdcayW_7enTvU ; https://myspace.com/nanciblues/mixes/classic-coldplay-collection-173306/photo/78515395

Can we please have "A message" Played live?
Feel that X&Y is kind of a very melody oriented album among all the productions, and a personal fav. too; maybe it has the same or better effect that GS when Chris' life was more sunny and lighter~

The "I Cried When I Listened To O" Thread
I think the beautiful part of music is to bring sth.deep/mysterious out tangibly that no other way could do the same. I think I do feel Chris in the interview when he was asked to introduce this song - a message of unconditional love which he was proud of ; to me, this song represents a long transformative process that I've also been through - so I could connect with his saying[psychological/emotional] and choking. I also remember a few words of him in an interview about dealing with emotions. He noticed that it might be an English or cultural thing that being emotional [although it could mean a lot of different things given the context or the understanding] is kind of rare or being considered weak or improper or abnormal etc. I think such awareness is the beginning for sth. ...by my own experience, I've tried to hide emotions or control it or even tried to neglect it - but it never worked and it never went away; on the contrary, it was built up - it might even create psychological/healthy problems. Later on, I began to know how to deal with it and appreciate it and learn to face and embrace it. So, I think, if sth. [book, song, film, or anything, even sb.] moves/touches you or even makes you cry, this is an important moment to understand yourself if sth. you ever tended to hide or neglect concsiously or unconsciously, by early childhood's conditioning or cultural shaping etc. It is a beautiful and precious gift to your inner light/evolving path; but if you only follow your Head/Mind/Old Fears/Rationality, such natural/intuitive energy can't flow through you [cure you if you have scars], as you don't trust your heart/soul or simply always keep the door closed - becoming a lonely island. I think the reason why Co.'s music or other great pieces of music/art can influence and connect with people cross-cultures/countries/beliefs, is because it conveys sth. we all could feel and cherish; and this sth. is actually quite essential and powerful than some "differences" on the surface - due to some reasons or failures of the past, we tend not to believe it or still learn to feel it. I think the language of a teardrop or waterfalls :) is a kind of mirror/art, containing rich content as well as inspirations, which, hopefully, could bring you awareness. When you allow the energies going through you, you could actually obtain peace afterwards. Isn't Chris' mother a Music Therapist? I think he really gets that gift [from *God* too] passing on so well; now, a moment for himself :)

Where did the hidden track go ?
