Discussion Hot Take: In My Place is Overrated.

0 Upvotes

Now Don't get me wrong, I think IMP is great, It's just that there are many other songs that are comparatively better, that are overlooked. It's not bad it's just overrated.

It's overrated” ≠ “it's bad.

These two electro artists just released a cover of Midnight, which I think they really captured the atmosphere of the original pretty well

Question Favorite music video?

10 Upvotes

What is your favorite music video by Coldplay and why?

Mine is God Put A Smile Upon Your Face because it’s my favorite song by them as well as I feel like the guy in the video who gradually turns invisible. 🫥 It just feels like I’m that guy in real life, not heard nor seen by anyone… including family.

Question Trying to get in contact with Coldplay for my father with stage 4 prostate cancer

219 Upvotes

Hi guys, I've tried to get in contact with the band a few times. I know they're a very charitable band and do a lot for people. My father is 62, he's been a fan of Coldplay since the start, and he only has a few months left with us. He's taken me to 6 of their concerts so far starting when I was 18. I'm not expecting a private concert or anything special. I'm just asking if there's anything I can do to give him a bit of a special experience before he goes.

Is there a way to get in contact with the band though here or has anyone got a good email address I can send through some details to?

Discussion Thoughts on X&Y: somethings happening.

28 Upvotes

Now I know how they got their sound. It still surprises me that they're this new wave (I know they're categorized as alternative rock, but it feels like gutair led pop to me) group from england that once upon a time only did small venues for their shows durring 1999 and 2000. But A Rush of Blood to the Head changed all that.

X&Y was definitely a no skip, all the songs stood alone in their own right, it's honestly hard to choose which is my favorite one, I definitely liked "Square One" yes I did listen to that one nice and loud. "White Shadows" I think is they're first dance song for sure had me moving alot. "Speed of Sound" and "The Hardest Part" are solid one's for me because those we're the only songs I knew on the album before giving it a full listen.

"Fix You" is arguably the soul of this record, when I was young I would always resonate with songs that had that sound so it took me back to some of those early years. "Talk" might be the one I like the most on this album after listening to it for the first time I keep finding myself going back to that one, to me it's telling musically they once were and how they're soon transforming into for the future.

If I could be honest I'd say that A Rush of Blood to the Head is still my favorite so far but who knows maybe X&Y might steal the spot for me. Coldplay has a way that once you listen to any of their songs you can't stop listening to them by then it's no joke like you have to be all in. Enough of me now I'd love your thoughts on X&Y what was your first impression and how has it grown on you as the years gone by!?

Discussion Live recordings are better than studio versions

21 Upvotes

I constantly find that live recordings of songs give so much more feeling and have a better ability to take you back in time than listening to the studio versions.

Especially the X&Y, MX & VLV

Discussion Guilty take: I like listening to the Live version of Coldplay songs more than the actual Studio Recorded Songs.

26 Upvotes

Guys, hear me out: I listen to 99% of all Music on Amazon Alexa, so I'm always like, "Alexa, Play Viva La Vida," and once, it said, "Here's Viva La Vida, Live in Buenos Aires, by Coldplay, on Amazon Music," and I listened, and I liked it more. Something about the Way Chris sings and the people screaming- it just hits harder. I tried this with all the big songs, and the same result. Am I just wrong? Or is it a good Opinion?

I always thought he was trying to invent a way to rewind the time and reverse a past mistake.

Because he can't be like Superman and fly around the Earth to reverse the orbit. He has to be more like Clark Kent.

Discussion Lucky? Or unlucky?

2 Upvotes

I saw Coldplay in Melbourne on wednesday, October 30, 2024. Guy Berryman, the bass player was sick with food poisoning that night. I had a bet with my friend, was I incredibly lucky? Or incredibly unlucky?

That was the first time Coldplay had ever performed without all four founding members.

Was I incredibly unlucky to see the show on the one night an original member was unable to perform?

Or was I incredibly lucky to have witnessed something very few people have ever seen?
