42Escapist

Give me love over, love over, love over this, ahhhhhh It's a simple line, but the delivery is filled with so much raw emotion. The narrator has been filled with heartbreak over the state of the world and just wants the only thing that can break through and endure: love.

(Ink) I see the road begin to climb I see your stars begin to shine I see your colors and I'm dying of thirst All I know is that I love you so, so much that it hurts vs (Charlie Brown) Light a fire, a fire, a spark Light a fire, a flame in my heart We'll run wild We'll be glowing in the dark

Clocks #FixYouFTW!!!

Up With The Birds?

There's a wild wind blowing down the corner of my street

It's actually the first part of a "three songs in one" track called The Lightning Strike from the album A Hundred Million Suns. The whole thing is 16 minutes long, but thankfully the first part became a single on its own.

Prospekt's March. I just felt compelled to listen to it after the awful events in Nice yesterday. :( "Smoke is rising from the houses People burying their dead I ask somebody what the time is But time doesn't matter to them yet People talking without speaking Trying to take what they can get I ask you if you remember Prospekt how could I forget?"

Ghost Story is Coldplay's darkest song. I love it but it's hard to listen to when you think of the lyrics from Chris' perspective. :cry:

Coldplay has a way of sneaking into our everyday lives in ways we'd least expect. :D

Ghost Story?

The birds they sang, break of day

Snow Patrol - What If This Storm Ends?

Ink?

I wanna fly and never come down

Tell me you love me If you don't then lie, oh lie to me

Or many sentences :P Haha I think I turned this into a story thread.

That's quite alright, maybe you could also mention it in the show's thread: http://coldplaying.com/forum/index.php?threads/2016-07-16-metlife-stadium-east-rutherford-new-jersey.106032/page-7#post-5835741 I will definitely be tuning into the broadcast! I wish it could be the full show rather than just 3 songs, but I think the interview will make up for that. :)

Yellow That's what music is for, no need to be ashamed of it. :hug: Listening to Coldplay can be an emotional release for me, too. I discovered the band in my early teens when I was suffering from debilitating depression, and I think my first Coldplay album (X&Y) played a part in helping me climb out of that hole. The themes of confusion, feeling lost, and feeling "incomplete" really resonated with me.

I can't believe I never heard this gorgeous version of Warning Sign until today. It would fit very well on the C-stage during the upcoming concerts... take notes, Coldplay. :D

Today, my favorite song is one of the most underrated Radiohead songs.

I used to play football/soccer. I did fine until around my mid-teens when I kind of lost interest. I played baseball for a few years as a kid, too. Right now I'm more into running and bicycling. I'm much more of a sports fan than an athlete. :dance: I love to watch baseball, ice hockey, American football, European football, and auto racing.

Talk

Charlie Brown and the Princess of China were driving to a Coldplay concert in Amsterdam with some Famous Old Painters known as the Car Kids. However, at about 1:36, their car began to have engine Trouble. Sparks began to fly out from under the vehicle and suddenly the whole thing went Up in Flames. Charlie and his friends screamed and crashed into a Warning Sign. "Don't Panic!" cried Charlie as the group frantically escaped. "I wish we could Fix You," said one of the Car Kids to the pile of rubble, but the Princess of China cut him off. "Don't be an Idiot. You can't just use Magic to fix this thing." "But it was such an Amazing Day until this happened. All is Lost!" replied the Car Kid with tears streaming down his face. "Yes it was, but Everything's Not Lost," said Charlie in an attempt to console his friend. "We are on an Adventure of a Lifetime to go see Coldplay, so we can't just quit." Suddenly, a U.F.O. flew overhead and landed in the Poppyfields nearby. A strange alien with Green Eyes named Mylo Xyloto jumped out and walked over to Talk to the concertgoers. Charlie Brown couldn't help but Shiver at the sight of the thing. It didn't look Easy To Please, but surprisingly it offered to fly everyone to the stadium. "I thought aliens were Only Superstition, but that doesn't matter. Let's go!" said the Princess of China with glee. The U.F.O. flew at very High Speed - even faster than the Speed of Sound. After just 42 seconds, Mylo dropped off the concertgoers and went on his way. All in all, the group had a Fun time at the concert; they got to meet the band members and a bunch of new friends like Sweet Marianne and Don Quixote. The Xylobands made the stadium look like A Sky Full of Stars. As Chris belted out "Belieeeeeeeeeve innnnnnn lovvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvve," Charlie Brown felt like he was in A Head Full of Dreams. The concert was over, but he knew the Everglow in his heart would never fade away.

God Put A Smile Upon Your Face Sorry about that, my friend :( Remember, there is still a light at the end of the tunnel. You've just got to keep flying on until you get there. :)
