Bloody love his voice, perfect in its imperfections, real, and this is exactly why we should all boycott singers who use Autotune even in their live performances.
Couldn't find a transcription for the piano part online, so tried doing it myself, with the aim of using the MIDI file on my keyboard. But it's not going too well..
I use "Transcribe!" to nail the pitches, but it's still very hard to write the score with correct durations for all the embelishment notes he plays in between chords (I'd like it to sound just like here, rather than just play simplified chords)
Could a more advanced pianist advise me how to make this process more efficient? Thanks!
1:58 .... I don't think I've ever replayed something so many times. Man, he's hot, he plays piano and guitar, and HE CAN SING LIKE AN ANGEL. I don't know how someone could get anymore perfect :)
“She came home from the hospital after her father passed covered in tears. I started crying and kept asking her ‘What can I do for you? Tell me how I can help’…And she looked up at me and said ‘Just hold me..’cause you’re the only thing that can fix me right now.’ ”
@TheJrpca Nice imagination! But Chris and Gwyneth met 3 weeks after Bruce Paltrow passed away. The song though is dedicated to his late father-in-law.
@FreezerBurn1704 that doesn't matter. you can still write a song for someone after the fact. grief is a life long process my friend. And you need someone to be there for you before and after. Chris himself actually said so.
chris... in this moment you are the espression of great music... during the '60 it was beatles' moment, during the '70 bob dylan's.. in the '80 dire straits, bob marley... during the '90 police, u2.. now it s your moment CHRIS.. and we are here to support you.. to shiver for you... thanks of all
All the comments "he can't hit the notes on his own songs"
I've seen them live on a few occasions & the amount of times he doesn't "hit them" is untrue, BUT with what he does is make the tracks better than the album versions!
Plenty of people can do this? Sorry but I have to laugh.
Music isn´t always made to earn money, this thought only accrues in the mind of amateurs, which will never get anywhere in music, based on a shortage of discipline and the iron will to become a good or maybe a brilliant musician or because they haven´t a hunch of music. Coldplay is a paragon for a group of musicians, which make REAL and meaningful music with every fibre of their bodies.
@weazle0203 Sorry, I cant help but say this, because it made me giggle. Fibre. Try saying that outloud but say it like.. fee-bray. x3 -is a derp- Sorry.
@weazle0203 Music is expression through sound. When you have nothing to express, when you have nothing to say, how do you expect people to listen? So I agree, plenty of people can sing in falsetto, but plenty of people cannot say anything worth listening to.
He is the best example for a musician, which is controlled by the music he plays.
The part from 2:23 to 2:50, -that´s what I mean- you can´t learn to apply such an improvisation, it´s a f.... gift. You can play a song in the way like you would read a book -strictly to notes- or you write your own melodic story, like chris :-)
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
@weazle0203 plenty of people can do this - it's middle of the road, aimed at corporate record companies who can sell shit loads of units. Banal, everyman, platitiude lyrics and beautiful melody in a minor key = money.
@Skoog13 "Banal, everyman, platitiude lyrics and beautiful melody in a minor key = money."
That is an opinion. Why be so precious about one band? Just accept that everyone has different taste and it's fine to express a different view. I don't deny he has talent, but come on, it's very commercial music designed with a specific audience in mind. They know that, they're on record as pretty much admitting it.
@THthefirst yeah, sure. i really ain't a coldplay fan, but they have some beautiful music. but this music imo ain't that commercial... their new music is, that i'll agree.
omg this is so shit hahahahahah! chris sucks im so much better! - that is what i would sometimes like to say because im so jealous of what this guy has Beautiful music simple magical and soft this guy is truly a Beautiful musican there is no such thing as a Beautiful human becuz of stupid human instincs i know cuse i live with them- Hate Jealously Greed Wanting Hopelessness oh wel we have people like this to put hope back into us
If ppl like it they like it. Go create a haters club and talk ill as much as you want but don't bring it here MAIABH, no one wants to he hear about ur dislikes.
@Aich04 truth b told, its not spectacular. Honestly, chris has sang this song much better b4, so the crticism is well warranted. I saw them live a couple years back in toronto, n he hit all the high notes. No ones hating.
@Aich04 if everyone in the world left hate comments about coldplay then i would still like them, I dont think there are many people that read them and then change their opinion so dont worry we have nothing to worry about, i think its kind of funny that people get so worked up over something that they have to be hateful, they are the ones missing out! thats my attitude anyway...
