Coldplay Live - Speed of Sound - (Chicago, 07/22/08)

Coldplay performing the song "Speed of Sound" (From X&Y) at the United Center on July 22nd, 2008. Rainbow globes and all!

Unfortunately my camera seems to capture video much better than audio...so parts of this may sound strange or off-beat -- it is not the band's fault (Blame insufficient technology). Please also excuse my horrendous voice at some parts - I have a terrible habit of wanting to sing along at concerts D: (But then again, it's a Coldplay concert...how can you not?)

Lyrics:
How long before I get in
Before it starts, before I begin
How long before you decide
Before I know what it feels like
Where to?
Where do I go?
If you've never tried then you'll never know
How long do I have to climb
Up on the side of this mountain of mine

Look up, I look up at night
Planets are moving at the speed of light
Climb up, up in the trees
Every chance that you get
Is a chance you seize
How long am I gonna can stand
With my head stuck under the sand
I start before I can stop
Before I see thing the right way up

All that noise, all that sound
All those places that i have found
And birds go flying at the speed of sound
To show how it all began
Birds came flying from the underground
If you could see it then you'd understand

Ideas that you'll never find
Or the inventors could never design
The buildings that you put up
Japan and China... all lit up
The sign that I couldn't read
Or the light that I couldn't see
Some things you have to believe
But others are puzzles, puzzling me

All that noise, all that sound
All those places that i have found
And birds go flying at the speed of sound
To show how it all began
Birds came flying from the underground
If you could see it then you'd understand

All those signs I knew what they meant
Something you can't invent
Some get made, and some get sent
Ooh
Words go flying at the speed of sound
To show how it all began
Birds came flying from the underground
If you could see it then you'd understand
If you could see it then you'd understand...
