Postcards from far away - Coldplay [NEW ALBUM PROSPEKT'S MARCH 2008]

[aosfqw4tuifshd]

51 seconds of absolute perfect.

[483Emma]

I absolutely love this. It sounds like autumn, or late summer. It makes me wanna write a short story the same lenght, with the same emotions included.

[lovesColdplay]

@483Emma Yes true true! It's like in autumn when u watch that leaves fall away to the ground. Just simply beautiful.

[BluDropRhythmix]

wow this sounds like beethoven could have written it.

[XxShishouxX]

The first time I heard this song I cried. I learned it on the piano and now I play it religiously. :) Will Champion is the best!

[lpfaninfinity]

Perfect song when I'm flipping through the pages of the Family Album...

[sharpnova2]

@lpfaninfinity ahhh.. faggot.

[lpfaninfinity]

@sharpnova2 Happy New Year to you too Mother Fucker :D

[sharpnova2]

@lpfaninfinity Now that's better. Happy New Year :)

[AirWaterLandBuffalo]

I love what they did with this song in their live album "LeftRightLeftRightLeft" - it becomes a lovely little coda for The Hardest Part, which itself becomes noticeably more awesome in the live album.

[achmedda3rd]

I can play this one! :D

[bkwrm116]

Definitely going to learn how to play this! Just AMAZING!

[dewolf1997]

great things come in small packages.....man i love coldplay

[MrHomersmatrix]

I think they some kinda evolved into a wrong direction. I mean Mylo Xyloto is far from being a catastrophical album but the way the songs are produced now and the fact that Rihanna is featured on one song just lets me think. I miss the Coldplay that used to release inspiring piano-orientated music like this one.. justsayin....

[amadeus5889]

Scared of losing all the time...

[KatieVproductions]

This song makes me think.... for 50 seconds

[tonybrian92]

i love this song! and there's a chopin feeling to it which i like.

[TheJoeCortazzo]

man, I miss this Coldplay. 

[jvonm618]

This song always feels too short; it makes you wish it was longer— as would a postcard from far away.

[MultiBlue420]

@jvonm618 It's 51 seconds long?

[spanishpianist]

@MultiBlue420 yes, in fact the sheet music is only one page

[HybridTheory999]

scaaaared of losing all the time .....

[aryllia]

Although I feel it's a tad too shaort as well, I don't think I would like a longer version nearly as much - especially nor some home-mixed endless repeat where the same melody is looped over and over and over again. It gets tedious.

The sweetest moments are the short ones.

[chameleonman123]

the greatest thing about this is that on my ipod when you put this song on repeat it all fits together perfectly makin it sound like one continuos song

[MrBram4u]

25 people does never get postcards from far away ....

[daElectronix]

It is just a short piece of pure magic!

[LuxVi7]

Postcards from far away,

I bloom blaum

Don't Panic

Parachutes

very short songs for my liking but still so fucking beautiful!

[retrolollypop1]

pure perfection in 51 seconds.<3

[seaniko1]

WHY IS IT SO SHORT no far it could be longer.

such a nice piece if it where longer people would buy a single just for this track

[seaniko1]

wow this is short

[Skylar1210]

Makes you realize just how short one minute is

[Skylar1210]

@Drugernautt I've turned those 51 into fifteen minutes :)

[hollywoodsign19]

Coldplay os future bethoven :)

[FashionGirl270]

SUPERLATIVA.

" ...non riesco a non ascoltarla!!! "

[jadorevangogh]

So beautiful. So, so, so, SO beautiful!

[SuperZombieMuffin]

Like Parachutes, this song is really too short!

[rakshi7259]

i love these short songs that coldplay has, there always amazing like parachutes.

[AlexizJMT]

Hermosa Melodía *o*!!!

[CHdez19]

The song is beautiful, great feeling and makes you repeat many times :) and pity that the song is very short u.u

[allesvoork3]

its to short

[foosballbeast]

A feeling of peace is brought over me as i listen to this song.

Just makes me nostalgic all over.

[6werunka6]

<3 prenádherné :)))) ..

[MissGoldenDreams13]

@twigleekcity: Your post is beautiful, it sounds like a poem.

[Harrypottergals123]

Words cannot describe the beauty of this melody

[ILIVEINTHELITTLEROOM]

It's so... perfect.

[schrabbelteil]

This song is one of the best!!

[bballr09]

450 plays in iTunes and counting

[twigleekcity]

It makes me think of him.....I miss him. I miss his smile. I miss his voice. I miss his everything. I miss just talking to him and knowing he was there. He made me cry so hard, but I still love him the same as I did the day I met him. 27 letters and I still haven't forgotten. I still haven't forgotten him and his chocolatey brown eyes that lured me in so easily.

[theturnernator]

someone needs to combine the song 'parachutes' with this one somehow.. two of my favourite coldplay, and two of the shortest songs in the whole stinkin world... such a shame

[daruom]

repeat x  4953024982

[leanartify]

just so pure :D

[Jackiee818]

Despite this song being too ridiculously short, it is still awe-inspiring and absolutely beautiful. If only this song could be longer.

[carl200616]

@Jackiee818 This "song" is short as its name says, its a postcard from somewhere far away, and when u get a postcard like this, is always to short. You can read a letter while listening to this, and u will notice the meaning of this song :)

[carl200616]

25 ppl dislike this!! omg how can be that possible!! There are 25 ppl without feelings

[TheStartreker1]

@carl200616 That is correct this song is really good and there are 25 d**k heads that have ytube accounts

[NitrousOxide19]

when i play this, i wish it sounded as heavenly as this

[andres65080]

the beggining is absoloutley stunning. i wish it stayed that way through the song

[TheStartreker1]

@andres65080 right!

[kennetbowl]

WHY WHY IS IT SO SHORT??

[DiabloAzul126]

@kennetbowl

Because it's a postcard from far away, it's supposed to be short. =/

[kennetbowl]

@DiabloAzul126 in that way, i want long postcards )

[rachoireke]

I think somebody should write a longer part to the song and call it "Letters from far away."

Love this song, btw! It's hauntingly beautiful. :]

[uropenbook]

reminds me of the queen......being sad lol

[jbressan1]

this song makes me see myself sitting on a chair and looking through a window of an apartment in london (foggy day).. just awesome

[NineHopeKeys]

The beginning of the song makes me cry.

[Koolerica]

im soo happy that ppl still listen to good things like Coldplay. :'))))

[callofandy]

Some guy from an epicmealtime video sent me here :/

[fruitcake117]

Epic Mealtime

[QueenAnnesFury]

This reminds me of the Pride and Prejudice 2005 soundtrack. :)

[andreydung]

amazing ....

[dede00009]

tho im a metal head, my special someone sent me this song, and it really touched me deep in heart. i love you!

[arantxaxiam]

<3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3

[xTabbyCat]

1001th Like. Yay. :D

[KKOPPI]

25 people didn't receive the postcards..

[tiramisudelimonful]

absolutely perfect

[JSJCB]

great song but that piano uhhhh, you can here the hammers hitting the strings, well i can. sorry for being picky. haha

[frigenfrok]

I've made the transcription, if you're interested.

[candpforever]

I just forget I have hit the 'like' button and sooo wanna hit that again..><

[dtiskevics]

I play violin but the song did not sound quite right... so I learned to play this one song on the piano. Coldplay is the ultimate inspiration...

[freestyler3330]

add this to "RainyMood" (search for RainyMood and play the first one) it's just relaxing!

[drviz]

This song reminds me so much of the movie Atonement... it makes me think that Robbie and Cecilia were happy after all... besides, the title fits to perfection: POSTCARDS From Far Away... I'm sure those who saw the movie will understand what I mean. Another reason to love Coldplay even more.

[birdieDDD]

I was it was longer :'(

[Sofadog82]

I didn't realise that my ipod where on repeat, so heard this song 529 times this night..

[crazyman37]

@Sofadog82 That happened to me with "the zephyr song" by Red hot chili peppers!

[4000marco]

i always get relaxed listening to this.

[vggcn]

BEAUTIFULL !!

[Baitvideos]

100% sure ive heard this in an advert in the UK recently, if anyone knows what it is please let me know! Proper doing my head in

[imutu]

when i down i'll listen this song!

[infacttheband]

I don't want to be, one of those dudes how post this reaction on each cool vid but seriously, how can people dislike this video?

[NPC919]

This song makes me want to escape to somewhere I know so well.

But I don't know where it is.

[nik1703]

i love when it sounds like a harp in the beginning

[frunny1]

please watch mine cover

[puredeviLry]

Feels like receiving a postcard from a far green country.. I know something or someone awaits for me. I want to escape to that place.

[CrazyyMonkeyy12]

ah chris martin's a genius

[Katao192]

This is beautiful...why isn't it longer? ;o; 

[musicResistances]

@frunasxl Man you cannot imagine how much i understand you...

[COYH10]

@frunasxl

That's exactly how I feel, man.

[Stuntpiloot05]

@frunasxl the mine has bleau eyes...

[colbythegrimm]

@frunasxl eyes are a reflection of the soul. brown eyes = shit

[chiffmonkey]

@colbythegrimm Most of the world has brown eyes

[sharpnova2]

@frunasxl thanks for being a faggot.

[sharpnova2]

@frunasxl umadbro?

[sharpnova2]

@frunasxl nah i think urmadbro

which is funny. because i love making ppl madbro.

[lumi3re911]

Want more.

[StupidChords]

I wish they would do more instrumental music. No words. Just piano. Please. And if anyone knows of more like this (Besides Technicolor) please tell me!

[laurenissuperman]

@StupidChords I listen to a lot of goldmund. those piano instrumentals are beautiful

[heybeautifulHOLLY1]

I just raped the replay button

[MapleSyrupSoySauce]

gorgeous...im addicted to this song.

[thebasketballfreak22]

When I'm going through I always type in this and listen to it and I feel a little better.

[lebes14]

[panxoandleire]

♥ I love it

[GoodSydeBill]

Operator Perry.

[andreaaajuarez]

i jus wish this song was just a bit longer. its not even a minute long)=

[cucoluco97]

Could someone give me the lyrics please?

[OoSpotoO]

i cannot express how much i love this. it's my favorite piano piece ever... so tender, quiet, delicate, soft.

i can imagine someone alone, sitting far away in the winter at the fireplace, reading old diaries and remembering lost memories

[LauraBee18]

where have i heard this before..?

[gabrielhuanosto]

@LauraBee18 thats what i said when i first heard this.! like I only love it cause ive heard it before and loved it then and now tht i have a hold on who it is I still cant get a grasp of my memory to figure it out =PP my mind be trollin lol

[alexmusicgraffity]

[alexmusicgraffity]

[connergilliam1017]

sadness and harmony as one

[scower]

i love it . it makes me so relaxed and is way too short. gives me goose-bumps.

[kamssun]

I made a video for the song "Now my feet won't touch the ground".

Enter in my channel to check it out!

[MeepMeepParadise]

Hey guys, I just made my first video playing this song and feedback would be much appreciated :)

My username is MeepMeepParadise and it's the only video there

(:

[Wuhzman]

I know how to play this song so my life automatically rules.

[NanouoMusic]

@Wuhzman damn it i deleted this account =[ i don't remember my favorites.

[ReinhardtvanHeerden]

@Wuhzman Me 2 bro.. Chicks DIG IT!!

[alternative10000]

@Wuhzman so true

[amazingstrawberry]

I always have to think about my friends, who live far away from me when I hear this. Thank you Coldplay, for being so awesome.

[Kaufa2]

amazing!!

[jeessiica03]

i used to listen to this when i cry just to call myself down, and seriously it helps,

i love coldplay and always will

[EmilyMcConkeyVideos]

Beautiful. Just... takes my breath away.

[SabrinaFairForever]

Lovely... short and sweet

[theheytherejulia]

Oh God! This is more than beautiful. This song heals my soul.

[microsmurf2]

How does he do it on the piano?

It's freckin amazing!

[cryinglightning95]

amazing this is beautiful music

[JohnnyCagePro]

man they could have come out with an epic song with this

[JimmLUVSpeople08]

Honestly Chris Martin could have been a composer; he's so frikken brilliant on the piano.

[HurricaneHaleyBailey]

i put this on repeat on my ipod and fall asleep to it every night :)

[steppedonaleaf]

@fromfarawaytohere what does this say?

[RoTy4life]

Short, but oh so powerful

[jctennis123]

if I was Chris Martin and I was feeling down, I would just read all the comments on my youtube videos

[cucoluco97]

the first time y headr this song ( in the disc ) i tought it postcards from faraway and glass of water where 1 song

[jvonm618]

This song feels too short, yes... but intentionally. After all, it's a postcard from far away... which will always feel too short.

[esteban578]

@jvonm618 jajaja i get it makes alot of sense

[Taywood0809]

@jvonm618 It's so, lovely, i get lost in it. And than realize after time stops that it's over. So I agree.

[rocknroll4ever88]

@jvonm618 such a beautiful to way to describe the unbearable silence after this song ends...just beautiful.

[GeneralVariety]

@jvonm618 that was beautiful.

[tanbobman5]

@jvonm618 that was probably the deepest thing ive ever heard

[itssosarahh]

@jvonm618

this comment makes me want to cry and think about the people i miss. <3

[thatisIRRELEVANT]

So haunting. Please just go on forever. Haha.

[fpereira77]

Listening to this causes a pleasure overload...

[daniissolol]

i loved this song so much that i learnt it on piano.

i've never been trained, but i was so determined that i learnt it anyway.

Thanks coldplay and chris martin

[Travelorange]

Such a sad but amazing song.

[AllWasWell91]

This is pure class. Good musicians embrace the full spectrum of musical potential, rather than limiting themselves to a specific genre.

[xGTxPFi1689]

How can people dislike this video. It goes to show, there are haters everywhere no matter where you are...

[DrHBoson]

I shall hunt down the 24 people who disliked this and give them hearts

[pleasenononsense]

sounds like old coldplay

[magicprophecy]

Chris Martin is a genius.

[BassT3hYoshi]

@magicprophecy Too bad Will Champion composed this.

[Tomahawk1505]

@BassT3hYoshi really?

[BassT3hYoshi]

@Tomahawk1505 That's what it says in the liner notes.

Sounds like Chris's playing, though.

[xomigoshh]

I've fallen in love with this song &hearts;

[manhands18]

This song fucking breaks my heart. It sounds as if they had found the first page of a Chopin piece that was unfinished. Way too short!

[spearification]

when i first heard of this song i instantly thought "Remember Me"!! Is this song in the movie? And i loveeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee this song. i wish it was 5:51. not 0:51.

[asphyxiafeeling]

one of my favorite coldplay tracks. beautiful!

[PeachyDelicious]

I want to walk down the aisle to this song.

[predicttheday]

@PeachyDelicious I am walking down the aisle to this song in 10 days!!

[PeachyDelicious]

@predicttheday - Congratulations! I wish you both much happiness. :)

[predicttheday]

@PeachyDelicious Thank you! We got married on Sunday!

[TranceTechnoSucks]

@predicttheday

Congratulations! :) May it be a long, fruitful and happy marriage!
