Coldplay..X and Y...why?

Recommended Posts

does it all make so much sense to me? I love their DVD Rush of Blood to the Head and the new one is so awesome as well...I'm taking them both to chester this weekend because it's just "feel good"music..which I need right now!

They are one of the bands I actually TRIED to hate when they first appeared, and I've been addicted ever since...



June 5, 2004 I think...check it out..my brother and I are drippin wet at their concert at Red Rocks on their DVD, Colorado..we did a mudslide back to the car..so worth it! LOL The best concert I've EVER been too...the laser light show was amazing in the rain..Oh..I could so go on and on about the experience...absolutely amazing to say the least!:)

Dont you think it just sounds the same as their last album?
Its like a sequel to a movie, same actors, same script just a different cover.

I used to like the guys but unfortunatley they just bore me now:o



I think they're amazing. One of the best bands of the last couple of years. X and Y is a bit (tinsy tiny littlebit) more positive then "Rush of blood" and the single "Speed of Sound" blows me away.

In January my lovely mother in law was very ill and my wife and I used to work in the same room as where she was sitting under a blanket. Suddenly she asked what beautiful song she was hearing. I told here it was "The Scientist" from Coldplay. In april we played that song at her funeral and nobody had a dry eye in the room!

TIP: Checkout the band Röyksopp with their latest CD: "The Understanding"

Nice to meet you toot!

Mmm, yeah. To me, "Rush" is more self-focused, and "X&Y" is more about relationships with other people. I mean, it sounds like Coldplay each time, but a little different thematically.

Besides, how could anybody here not like a band whose first album was named "Parachutes?" ;)
Well, the door was open...

Parachutes is good too:)I saw ColdPlay in concert at Red Rocks amphitheater in Colorado in June 2003 in the pouring rain. By far, it was the best concert I've ever been to. The laser light show in the rain was so cool...glistening green laser lights B|

Better than Melody A.M.?



I like "Melody A.M." but the new one is even better. Great tracks, I like "49 percent" very much. Almost as special as when Air came out with "Moon Safari"

That's like Deja Vu.

Did you go to see them at Red Rocks? :D



Yup..Awesome! ...after the concert, it was so muddy and slippery trying to get back to our car that my brother and I said WTF, we're already wet, so we ran down the hill and slid in the mud on our stomachs laughing hysterically of course:ph34r:. Next day's car cleaning wasn't so fun though;)

this one took a little more time to grow on me than the other two did...

i do love it now... my current favorite track is "fix you".. that song really hit home and i absolutely love the the ensemble of voices (all of which i believe are martins just overdubbed) at the end of the song.... its amazing...

i always fall for the epic songs on the album :)

Oh brother I can’t.. I can’t get thru
I’ve been trying hard to reach you cuz I don’t know what to do
Oh brother I can’t believe it’s true
I’m so scared about the future
And I want to talk to you
Oh I want to talk to you

You can take a picture of something you see
In the future where would I be
You can climb a ladder up to the sun
Oh I know some..a body and soul..or too
Of something that’s never been done
Are you lost or incomplete
Do you feel like a puzzle you can find your missing piece
Tell me how you feel
Well I feel like they are talking in a language which I don’t speak
They’re talking into me..


So you take a picture of something you see
In the future where would I be
You can climb a ladder up to the sun
Or write a song of body and soul or too
Something that’s never been done
It’s never been done

So you don’t know where you’re going, do you wanna talk
But you feel like you’re going where you’ve been before
Is there anyone who’ll listen

Nothing is really making much sense at all
Let’s talk let’s talk

I just X..Y yesterday and I listened to it on the way to work this morning. So far I love what I've heard.

"Clocks" is one of my all time favorite songs. To me it's hauntingly inspiring.

Previous CDs were easy and quick to love right away..but X&Y took a few times listening to appreciate it.

I can't wait to see you again! Peeps at Chester said to tell you "hi ya" this past weekend.;) D's dad is a hotair balloon pilot with 3 balloons and just guess what we did Monday morning over Lake Norman? Yup! kuhlio!!!! we opted to not take the "industrial park" and go for the cow pasture instead and those dung patties were freakin HUGE!! D pointed left as I landed and said "THAT is a BULL!!Get your ass over this fence quick!":D the fence was an electric fence..doh!:ph34r:

I was so skeered on the climb to 7k which was really quick..I sat on the outside of the basket...D left in a gainer and some other kuhlio shit..I couldn't turn around..I said "nice to meet you..bye Ed" as I rolled out backwards and tumbled then went to belly and pulled ..when I landed I ran with my canopy overhead to the fence to keep it from falling into massive dung:D If you head up to D's neck of the woods if weather cooperates, I'm sure he can arrange for you to do a balloon jump;)
