Perhaps those that think Coldplay sound like someone else think they should stop using guitar and drum for instance. Why criticise music? It makes no sense.
@matster2468 actually it's another song, Chinese Sleep Chant, but the two songs are usually played together, just like Mylo Xyloto and Hurts Like Heaven
I think what Coldplay is trying to do here (By hiding a shoegaze track in their album)is act as some sort of bridge to actual good music to the masses; like they are saying "Yo people, listen to this!"
wait wait wait. people who like coldplay dont like radiohead?? theyre my two favorite bands! i think they go together swimmingly as well... both deep and haunting. i wouldnt be so quick to choose a side
@Klwicky It's about french revolution in general. The woman with the french flag is Marianne, the symbol of french republic, and she's "guiding the people of France toward freedom" :)
Soon, he is very tired from thinking & suddenly nothing seems more poignantly necessary than sleep, to rest, to getaway from the reality of his life. To start again when daylight breaks again.
Chris magically comes to an Arabic club. Remember folks, LP4 is a fantasy piece. There is a show with female belly dancers. The dance is beautiful, not sexual from the beauty of the music. Their breasts are fully covered with only the innocent beauty of their shape to draw attention. Only their bellies are exposed. The women have beautiful faces & Chris knows they would do more for money, but he doesn't want to be cheap, even in state of chastity & he's not drunk, so he just enjoys the show.
@jet4212006 this is precisely why the song should've been separated into two...clearly people are split on how they feel about the two parts of it. it would also be a lot more convenient for you too, as you wouldn't have to skip through the first 4 minutes of the song to get to your favorite part.
hey everybody :) i just made a cover of Coldplay's Moses if you'd like to see a version, it would mean much to me if you give me a chance of getting your opinion :D
Velvet Underground is a famous band, do you think Coldplay would be stupid enough to not assume that people would realize they were ripping them off. Clearly they did it on accident.
Such an underappreciated song, the more I hear it the more I love it. It's so cool to hear Chris use a lower register for once. It's creepy, yet mesmerizing at the same time... Probably Coldplay's best song in my opinion!
Okay to those who say they ripped off Velvet Underground, no. Sometimes when people write songs, they become subconsciously influenced by another artist/band and their song possesses similar chords, sounds or even melodies. It's not like they said OH LET'S RIP THEM OFF. Take it from someone who has been their before. It's physically impossible for us to not be influenced by the music around us so lay off.
This song is simply amazing. But for some reason, when I'm tired and I listen to it, i makes me feel high/hypnotized (it's hard to describe), especially the violins XP
I remember falling asleep with my headphones on with Coldplay songs playing. I woke up and I was really confused about my dream. Then I realized this song was playing. That was some crazy dream...
does anybody see the similarities between yes and cemeteries of london? Both have a mythical, legendary tone and sew references to God. They remind me of traveling to distant lands, chasing a gypsy camping. I know it sounds insane, but it's exactly what Coldplay makes of my head (.
you know how the guy singing (momentary mind blank was it Chris Martin or something along those lines?) sounds different when he sings in different pitches
@btrlover78 I DID hear an instrumental version. First and only time I've ever seen them in concert. My pupils were dilated for a week. If they come to your area, sell your body, if need be, and go. Trust me (in my Aladdin voice). ;-)
Tell that to Chris Martin. And why blame them? They have made four critically acclaimed albums. The hype is there for a reason, but seriously, tell that to Chris Martin.
@AlRFREAK13 I don't think you understand. Chris Martin is a huuuuuuge Radiohead fan boy. He's probably the biggest Radiohead fan in the world. Some things he's said: "Sometimes I feel like they (Radiohead) cleared a path with a machete, and we came afterward and put up a strip mall. I would still give my left ball to write anything as good as OK Computer."
“I'm in love with a lot of things. Some of those things love me back. And some of them don't -- and one of them is Radiohead.”
@Synbinge I recently listened to OK computer. It was awesome. I could definitely hear some of where Coldplay took their inspiration from (especially Karma Police).
man, i am 13 and i listen to coldplay through an earphone through my sleeve, and i cover my ear up with my hand to look like my head is leaning on my hand at school. coldplay is lol awesome especially 1.) Life in technicolor 2.) Viva la vida 3.) this one 4.) What if 5.) Everything else.
