was a long and dark december from the rooftops i remember there was snow white snow clearly i remember from the windows they were watching while we froze down below when the future's architectured by a carnival of idiots on show you'd better lie low if you love me won't you let me know?
was a long and dark december when the banks became cathedrals and the fog became god priests clutched onto bibles and went out to fit their rifles and the cross was held aloft bury me in honor when i'm dead and hit the ground a love back home unfolds if you love me won't you let me know?
i don't want to be a soldier with the captain of some sinking ship with snow, far below so if you love me why'd you let me go? i took my love down to violet hill there we sat in snow all that time she was silent still so if you love me won't you let me know? if you love me, won't you let me know?
bueno ps el video de violet hill esta super chido asi como cold play ami me facina cold play y quiero decirles q cold play es uno de los mejores grupos de rock alternativo y no se compara cn ninigun otro::att..Ricardo perez:::MEXICO CITY::::
Chris We Do Love You. I was wandering when I would hear some great music from you guys. It is great. Wish you were doing a show in Virginia, USA. Keep 'em comming!!!!!
coldplay are becoming one of the greatest bands ever. Their products are becoming professional as those produced by Pink Floyd. Infact they seem very similar - from a great pinkfloyd and now also coldplay fan.
Looking forward to the new album. Great tune from a great group out of England. Definitely a favorite for me and my ten-year-old niece. You certainly know how to get multi generational fans with your music. Can't wait to see you guys in Chicago this August.
desde argentina, fanatico de coldplay desde el 2000, se que nunca van a volver a hacer algo como parachutes o como a rush, pero esta cancion es muy mala, espero que el disco viva la vida no sea toda asi, no se porque despues de tanta calidad, bajaron a violet hill, es aburrida, simple, sin nada que te lleve a escuharla, espero que cuando vengan a argentina, no gastan un track del show con esta cancion! y la prox toquen shiverrr!!
estas mal es bueno el tema no porque ahora no sea romanticona la cancion no pasa nada a mi me gusta me parece una de las mejores que hicieron hasta ahora.
a) yo no estoy mal, a lo sumo no te parece mi opinión.
b) coldplay tiene temas que no son romanticones e igual son intrigantes, con una estructura melódica mucho mejor y más dinámica que la de violet hill..
c) el solo de guitarra es tremendamente aburrido y uno se queda esperando mucho más, sobre todo por su pasado, los coros son IGUALES a todos los de los otros discos, etc etc etc
de verdad t apoyo viejo sta cancion no me gusto, y la distorcion esa no sta mal pro el cromatismo, no le da ese toque caracteristico d coldplay...es algo nuevo pro no les queda y no ntiendo el tipo d arriba, "stas mal???"saludetes
jajaj disculpa t marque como spam sin querer, pus yo pense q con copado querias decir lo contrario a sincopa, pro vi q significa como genial, y pues el final si me parecio q sono bonito, pro nc vamos a sperar a ver q tal, pro va a ser dificil q ellos superen temas como don't panic, in my place, o incluso mas reciente fix you, la mayoria d los artistas stan bajando d calidad!! a mi parecr
This video is filmed in Sicily.The landscape is taken from Etna volcano landscape and countryside,the monumental building is "Palazzo Biscari" in Catania.I love this beautiful place.
Lol, that was WEIRD! I like my version better euheuheuheuhe *coughs* But I don't know why the place they're at at 00:40 really fits the song for me...the rest of it makes absolutely no sense though. I don't care, this song owns!
Awesome awesome awesome ! Coldplay is just awesomeness . Love this song , original and it just has that ''feel'' that you get when you listen to their other songs . Much LOVE to Coldplay !
Me encanta Coldplay ,, muy buena canción, y el video es gracioso .. Sólo como ellos lo saben hacer .. Se ve la madurez musical y un notable progreso en su estilo. Buena música
When i first saw this vid i liked it..but it was also different. now i really like it because it just shows coldplay being themselves..just having fun!
This video does more justice to the song then the dancing politicians one. They must have been high making the other one but this one makes them look like they are having a good time.
Viva la coldplay! Yay, finally this music video came out. It's not my favorite of thiers, but I still like it alot. My opinion- they are music geniuses.
Dimenticavo grazie per aver "valorizzato" un paese ma sopratutto una terra come la Sicilia che insieme al tutto resto d'Italia sta vivendo momenti difficili per colpa dei soliti poteri!
i've loved you guys from the beginning and the song is fun, but musically you can do better and the video is cute, but kinda boring. i still love you though. ;)
Violet Hill is such a great song and the video is AMAZING!!!! Luv them sooooo much!!! I´m really looking forward to 16th June!!! Can´t wait for the album!!!
