I think you're right. :thinking: They have a history of making multiple music videos for the same song. There are two videos each for ASFOS, Viva La Vida, Violet Hill, Paradise, and Trouble. There might be more instances too but I can't think of any others at the moment.

Umm, would anyone like to vote? ;)

If the band had a single ready for a music video a month ago, one would think that the video would be ready to go by now. I don't think it takes an entire month to edit everything. A few weeks? Sure, but not a month... there are two possible explanations for this: 1. the band scrapped the video, which wouldn't be surprising 2. the band is going to drop the single and video at the same time in the near future

I'm not a fan of Rihanna but I'm not necessarily against her appearance in Princess of China. The band chose her because they felt she was the most suitable artist to collaborate with on the song. I think I read somewhere that originally Will was going to sing her part but it was awkward without a female singer. That makes sense to me, because it would be a little strange to have Will singing about being a princess. :p

Speeding

Thank you very much, I will heed your advice. :) I suppose it is worth attempting to discuss the issue. "If you never try, you'll never know." ;)

I was never cheated on but she was manipulative. I felt as if I was attracted to her yet her expectations were far too high. She would do whatever she deemed necessary in order to get what she wanted. I am not perfect so I could never satisfy all of her heart's desires. Despite my repeated attempts to discuss the problem, only when I ended the relationship did she finally realize what I had been trying to tell her. I almost gave her another chance but my friends convinced me to walk away. I think they were just being protective and they didn't have faith that the relationship would improve. Thank you for the advice, I will definitely ponder those words of wisdom. :) It might indeed be worth reconsidering...

"Everyone I know says I'm a fool to mess with you / Everyone I know says it's a stupid thing to do / I have your love on call and yet my day is not so full / There might be nothing left to do / So I ran away from you" I Ran Away has been stuck in my head, coincidentally at the same time that an ex-girlfriend of mine (whom I ended a relationship with several months ago and stopped talking to) decided to contact me out of nowhere. I want to give her a chance but my friends all warned me to just leave her alone and stay away from her. So, I'm torn on whether to accept her back into my life as a friend or just to let her go... That song is really speaking to me, it's funny how I can find a Coldplay song that fits nearly everything that happens in my life.

Viva La Vida I'm more of a Strawberry Swing fan so in this case I'd rather help it survive! Sorry Viva, I love you but I will sacrifice you for the sake of my 2nd favorite Coldplay song of all time. :( By the way, I will try to pay more attention to this game, it needs all the votes it can get or else it's just going to turn boring. I've admittedly been distracted by the VLV elimination, as @Archiderp said.

White Shadows - 12 points Clocks - 10 points Midnight - 8 points

Lovers in Japan #SaveGlassOfWater :D

Here's my current ranking... 1. Viva 2. AROBTTH and X&Y (tied, similar to @I ran away's ranking) 3. Parachutes 4. Mylo Xyloto 5. Ghost Stories I'm not necessarily an MX detractor. From a pop album perspective it is by far the best in my opinion. As a Coldplay album, though, that is where I think MX falters. Sure, there are songs that I love. Hurts Like Heaven, Charlie Brown, Us Against the World, Up With the Birds, and Major Minus come to mind. If you remove the instrumental interludes, that is about half of the album. The rest of the songs aren't necessarily "bad" in my eyes. Issues like cheesiness and poor production keep them from reaching their full potential. Also, Moving to Mars (my favorite b-side) and the sweet Parachutes-like Wedding Bells should never have been left off of that album. If they had been used and the remaining songs had been given the production and better lyrics that they deserved, MX would be much higher in my rankings. I think I will end up ranking AHFOD between AROBTTH/X&Y and MX. That is purely a guess, based only on the supposed Indian music experimentation and my first impression from Amazing Day. I hope the album will be everything that I feel MX could've been.

If they delay the album, I actually wouldn't be too surprised... AROBTTH was delayed because Clocks was written and there were a few tracks they didn't like. X&Y was delayed because they wrote four albums' worth of songs and started over mostly from scratch. VLVODAAHF was delayed because they had a new burst of creativity in late 2007. MX was delayed from 2009 to 2010 and again to 2011. For a while, they had two separate albums in progress, which certainly slowed them down.

Well this thread's been quiet for a little while... I'm gonna post another set of votes just to breathe some life back into it and allow @cp3176 a chance to vote a little sooner. ;) Warning Sign - 12 points Trouble - 10 points Lovers In Japan - 8 points Edit: Wow, I finally figured out how to do the very simple task of creating bold text. :facepalm:

The same thing happened to me when I heard a lot of the older songs for the first time. See You Soon was no exception, especially the Live 2003 version. [video=youtube;dsz-EeNZBkI]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dsz-EeNZBkI

That's funny, a few days ago while watching hockey, there was a commercial for the new Steve Jobs movie that included the phrase "a rush of blood to the head." :happy2:

They did soundcheck Crests of Waves last year and Bigger Stronger on the MX tour so you never know. ;)

This is reminding me of back in December of last year when everyone thought the background music in a TV commercial was Miracles. In reality, the song in question was just some random instrumental track. I remember quite a lot of people were fooled and even a few news outlets fell for the rumor. :D

Once again, I vote for Life in Technicolor. How did it nearly tie LiT ii and then only get 3 votes in the following round? #SaveGlassOfWater

"It was a long and dark December..." You might be on to something. :thinking:

Sparky is almost an honorary Coldplayer... :) Wow, I wish I were here back when he first joined. I would've loved to witness the X&Y era firsthand. But nope, I was nine years late to the party... :sad:

Umm, you are a bit late to the party... The Goldrush was eliminated a long time ago. ;)

@I ran away was just kidding, there are no sources that even seem to suggest that Falling Snow is for Mockingjay Pt. 2. Otherwise, we would have gotten a link to said source. In fact, we have no idea if Falling Snow is even a song title. That is only speculation.

Fix You

Yes, Chris was spotted by the Daily Mail (or Stalkey Mail as @diogo_sg puts it :p). He's still wearing that happy face hat... And that's the news lol. In most of the world it is Sunday, so Monday is only a day away. ;)
