I just love coldplay altogether. They are a great band, and need to continue untl either Chris Martin can't hit those high notes anymore or they just become too old to play period. Check out my account for short films by me.
noo the second part i fink helps create the ambience and atmosphere and illutsrates the paradox between life and death.. but yeh first part is really very magical!
don't worry, before you know it they might just take a visit there. plus, who knows you could be visiting countries elsewhere and happen to see them :)
Some one said very U2 ish as if that was a bad thing or something! I don't agree that this song is U2 ish. Many of their songs are definitly inspired by U2.
I didn't mean it in a bad way...I love both bands. The guitar part after the piano intro reminds me something the Edge would play...something simple and loud. I think since using Brian Eno as producer they keep sounding like them even more, but in their own way.
My favorite off Viva La Vida, for sure. I missed seeing them live this past weekend, A because the tickets were sooooo expensive and B because the venue has terrible acoustics :(
the guitar solo melody of the "ghost" part sounds a lot like I Should Have Known Better by The Beatles. and like yahikoli, i'm not comparing, im just pointing out an interesting resemblance. i think its very cool :)
ps- i love at the end, how chris fucks up the ending but still manages to make it funny and enjoyable :)
it amazes me how people get so worked up over music, they take it so personally. everyone is influenced by someone. let's rip on the stones for ripping off chuck berry...rip on aerosmith for ripping off the stones..and on and on....this is a great song i think though!
i'm no religious fanatic, but i am just as put off by your pointless declaration of your atheism as i would be by someone rambling on about the rapture. here's a commandment for you: Thou Shalt Keep Thy Religion (Or Lack Thereof) To Thyself.
they're definitely influenced by both U2 and radiohead on this album... it's obvious. But they do their own thing so it's straight. Love the sound, love the lyrics, love the band.
Don't go comparing a band to its influences though. That's just ignorant.
one question: were u not allowed cameras in that place? cuz i wanna know if guards really check for camcorders/cameras when u go, im gonna see em in july at chicago. i wanna know if i can bring a camera or something in a bag and they wont check...id love to get GOOD pictures, not crappy ones from my phone that doesnt even zoom in...
I love Coldplay's fourth album, Best song on the album, aswell as Lost! Violet Hill and Vida la vida and death and all his friends. Actually those lot are brilliant, well my favourites. He's so talented to just go fron singing and piano to pick up a guitar and do that too!! I LOVE COLDPLAY!!!
lucky!! i woke up at 5 in the morning to listen to it live on bbc1 and it was so incredible! love this song... but i think i love lost! and viva the best XD
what mistake did he make at the end? He says he missed out something, but I couldn't work it out. I listened to the CD to try figure out but couldn't. Anyone know??
My absolute FAVORITE Coldplay song! soooooooooooo good.

Powerful second half of the song. I saw it on the Daily Show. The way he beats the hell out of the drums in the second half is awesome.
As an atheist,I like the motif of not reaching heaven. Given the fact that its fake someone might as well right a song about it.
