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.
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.
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....
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 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
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.
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
@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 :)
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.
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!
@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
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.
51 seconds of absolute perfect.
