After a long, Rainy Day on Violet Hill, Death And All His Friends sang a Hymn For The Weekend at Midnight under A Sky Full Of Stars.

I think my favorite design is the one with the city skyline. The one with the balloon and #IRanAwayLiveNewYork along the bottom looks great too.

But you pay me no attention, do you?

I think I remember Chris saying that they don't like the version of Speed of Sound that appears on X&Y, so they prefer the more stripped-down version.

What if you should decide That you don't want me there by your side?

You are definitely a rarity. I don't think I've ever encountered someone who prefers Up in Flames to Violet Hill. Most people here won't even mention them in the same post. :tongue:

Haha I definitely noticed that! None of the sets even compared to Coldplay's when it came to the sheer joyful atmosphere, and I think the pyrotechnics were a big part of that. :dance:

Lovers in Japan

I agree. On one hand, I do enjoy songs like In My Place and Trouble after they had been absent for several years, but it's a little disappointing when it's the same song several times. I reckon rarities like Speed of Sound and Strawberry Swing are requested for every show, but the band usually chooses something more well-known. Oh well, best of luck to your kids no matter what songs they choose!

I can't make it to any of the North American shows, but I will support the I Ran Away Project by requesting I Ran Away a few times. :smiley: Of course I would prefer if the band plays it based on the special booklet/cover, but I'm going to do what I can to increase the odds of them playing it.

Come on, oh my star is fading And I see no chance of release And I know I'm dead on the surface But I am screaming underneath This verse from Amsterdam tends to hit me in the feels every time. The whole song is filled with emotion, but wow... the inner turmoil that the narrator is describing echoes the same sort of depression and loneliness conveyed in Ghost Story.

So it's over This time you're flying on

Those gorgeous lines from I Bloom Blaum might just be some of the most underrated lyrics Chris has ever written. (I Bloom Blaum) Darling, those tired eyes Go with me all the time And in the dead of night Tell me you will be mine vs (Spies) And the spies came out of the water But you're feeling so bad 'cause you know That the spies hide out in every corner But you can't touch them no 'Cause they're all spies

I'm a big baseball fan and I've taken the liberty to nickname this player Joen't Panik. :wink2: [ATTACH=full]5173[/ATTACH]

(Ghost Story) Every time I try to walk through walls More walls appear What's the point of feeling love for you When you don't believe I'm here? What's the point of trying to raise your voice If no one ever hears? Every time I try to pull you close You disappear vs (A Rush of Blood To The Head) He said, I'm gonna buy this place and burn it down I'm gonna put it six feet underground He said, I'm gonna buy this place and watch it fall Stand here beside me baby in the crumbling walls

In My Place

Death and All His Friends

Up&Up

Beautiful, with a side of awesome. :cheesy: Not many people cover this song so it's nice to find somebody who enjoys it enough to try it out. I will definitely listen to your other 2 covers as well.

Prospekt's March :viva:

You use your heart as a weapon and it hurts like heaven

Wow! The last time that many songs were on the top-100 list was probably when A Head Full of Dreams was released.

I found this cool wallpaper on DeviantArt. Turns out it's about 10 years old, but I fell in love with it right away.

Great idea for a thread! My favorite non-Coldplay song today is: Stockholm Syndrome - Muse
