Charlie Brown Appreciation Thread

[Tandem]

To all those who saw Charlie Brown played on the live stream, what are you thoughts?

Personally I think this is the best of the new songs that they have played so far. Fantastic guitar and it stays varied throughout.

[Stefan-C8]

Yes it sounded pretty great. Is this the same as Cartoon Heart?

[Alien Radio]

I love it. My fav up to now. :)

EDIT:

It's a bit sad and a bit happy, like Charlie Brown :)

Where's the live stream? I've heard a few people mention it! Do you have a link? :wink3:

If its the same song as "Cartoon Heart" I've listened to that Youtube video about 12 times in a row now. I love it!

[howyousawtheworld]

Charlie Brown and Major Minus - I think they might already be better than anything from their past two albums.

[MrsMartin333]

MY favorite so far.
Hands down.
:wideeyed:

I swear I'm not biased because I love Charlie Brown and Coldplay.... :worried:
I truly love it.

[MrsMartin333]

Does anyone have a good video of this song yet? I can't find one and I really want to listen to it... I'm craving.

[robsmith7]

Yes I've just uploaded Charlie Brown. But because I'm new to the messageboard I can't post links!

Search for my YouTube account, I'm robsmith7

Hope you can find it! Its a great song, definitely the best new one I think :)

[Technicolor Liver]

The lyrics I hear for it:

I stole a key,
Took a car downtown where the lost boys meet,
I took a car downtown and took what they offered me.
To set me free,
I saw the lights go down at the end of the scene,
I saw the lights go down and they're standing in front of me.

My scarecrow dreams, (?)
When they smashed my heart into smitharines,
I be a bright red rose come bursting the concrete.
Be the cartoon heart,
Light a fire, light a spark,
Light a fire, a flame in my heart.
We'll run wild,
We'll be glow-in-the-dark.

All the boys, all the girls,
All the (?)
All the boys, all the girls,
All the (?)

All the high's, all the low's,
??
We'll run wild,
We'll start glowing-in-the-dark.

So we'll run wild,
We'll be glow-in-the-dark.

[bedtime83]

Wow, thanks for the upload and the link..the quality is great :cool:

I think the line after the 2nd "all the boys, all the girls" is "all that matters, all that hurts" but I may be wrong! ;)

[scusi]

Thanks for the video, and the lyrics. A bit more....

All the boys, all the girls,
All the mess in the world (not totally sure, the guitar drowns it out a bit)
All the boys, all the girls,
All the mess that occurs.

[Lore]

I like it :cheesy:

[Technicolor Sparks]

I love it! And I'm soooo happy they played Life is for Living afterwards. It's one of my favourites so I've always been waiting for it to make a comeback!

[Major_Love]

I like it :cheesy:

Nice to hear. :) Really... :)

After your depression about ETIAW. ;)

How did you like the others?

[dudojenka]

Charlie Brown and Major Minus - I think they might already be better than anything from their past two albums.

my thoughts exactly :)

[the_escapist]

Major Minus, Charlie Brown. All my appreciation to Jonny Buckland.

Now I can say that without a doubt, ETIAW WON'T BE ON LP5.

[Bluejay]

Charlie Brown IS PURE AWESOMENESS! I really enjoyed it. And life is for living afterwards gave me goosebumps.

Mhm. I believe it was for festivals only. But, I still like the song.

[Imke]

After my utter disappointment yesterday about ETIAW, I feel so much better today.
Big big relief.

I do love this song and really hope the album version won't be overproduced.

[Lore]

same here

sounds so good :dazzled:

[Dan 6N]

Brilliant song! Coldplay are back and they're about as good as I've ever heard them!

[JackZ]

I really don't see how we've had any reason to doubt ETIAW being on LP5.

[matti]

new favourite!

[Osaka Sun]

The song is immense. ETIAW, where are you now?

[Ultravioletlight25]

The lyrics I hear for it:

Thanks for working on this! Definitely this song is my favorite of the new songs :)

[Grebbin]

This is immense. ETIAW, where are you now?

I thought that too! I'm pretty positive Charlie Brown is going to be on my list of all-time favorite Coldplay songs.

[Arazmire]

YouTube - ‪Coldplay - Charlie Brown (BEST QUALITY)‬‏

[rpindacity]

This album is going to be awesome. The only bad ting is that I would like to see Chris play the piano more

[Caroline]

This song sounds great. I want to hear the studio version!

[ReecyBoy42]

When I first heard Charlie Brown (Cartoon Heart), I could swear the tune was vaguely familiar. Then I figured out why.
YouTube - ‪Coldplay - Don Quixote (Spanish Rain) New Song (live from Latin America Tour) HD‬‏
Does anyone else think there are similarities? (Also, I haven't read this thread through, so if someone else has already made this connection, then sorry)

[mrman78]

Ok, this is my favourite new song so far! I love it! I love that it's called Charlie Brown too!! SOOOO much better than Cartoon Heart. I hope it stays this way for the album! :heart:

[dry_pretzels]

I'm only halfway through watching their performance of this song, but I just wanted to say I am LOVING Jonny's riff.

[ApproximatelyInfinite]

This is my absolute favorite of all the new ones, and perhaps I like it more than a lot of Viva stuff. Man, this is an awesome song.

I thought the same! I don't think it's really the same song evolved, just because they did that one live and effectively released it, but I think they're similar in pretty cool ways. I love both.

[ShiroiKarasu]

That's a significant song that marked the musical evolution of this splendid band. Congrats, Chris & Co.! <3

[anacaren08]

I also thought of don quixote when I heard it :D

[CarolinePolishFan]

can't stop listening!! I really can't wait the new album... :)

[*Sarah*]

My fav song for sure! :heart:

[Kroket]

I love this song! Definetely my fave new song so far

[bedtime83]

This album is going to be awesome. The only bad ting is that I would like to see Chris play the piano more

Dont worry we still have over the half to hear :wink3:

Loving this song although I did prefer the title "Cartoon Heart". Would love this to be the next single

[Steph589]

Major Minus, Charlie Brown. All my appreciation to Jonny Buckland.

Totally agree, I think 'Charlie Brown' is the best new song I heard yesterday, also for the guitar riff in it. Now I recognise our guys!

[Viva_la_vida]

Wow! This song is incredible! Jonny Buckland you star! :o

Definately also my favourite of the new songs :)

[Humma]

From all the new this is the most Coldplay song I think. :)

[Phoebeo]

It's one of my favorites :blush:

I'm pretty excited to hear it not-live

[the_escapist]

I think the song is actually called CARTOON HEART. Chris just said Charlie Brown because it is a famous cartoon.

[*Sarah*]

I think the song is actually called CARTOON HEART. Chris just said Charlie Brown because it is a famous cartoon.

It also said "Charlie Brown" on screen though.

[Pier62b]

Who create this riff Chris or Jonny?

[The Scientist Man]

Yeah I gotta say I like this song!

[86Timewarp]

Deffinally the song thats gonna carry them, just like Viva la Vida!

[laxwatcher]

I think the line is "As a man with a spinning voice" (?) Don't know if that makes sense. I heard the "As a man" part pretty well but the rest was drowned out.

There might also was some words before the last two lines of the song, I don't know if it's part of the song.

[makeartnotwar]

I love it, it's a great song

[toddbluezoo]

Favorite of all the new songs we've heard. It was awesome that they played Life Is For Living at Rock Am Ring, but I think this would be/will be a great set closer (like the last song played before the encore)

[nathey42]

Can't stop listening to this, it's bloody amazing!

Well done lads :cool:

[icecoldplay]

I'm digging this song a lot. Very reminiscent of the latest Arcade Fire record.

[icedude2010]

My favorite part is "Light a fire, light a spark, light a fire, a flame in my heart." Love this song!

[Berlu]

For anyone interested I tabbed out Jonny's riff in this song. It sounds pretty close to being right.

[Juanma]

My fav so far!:D

[juanif94]

Thanks!

I tried playing it and it sounds pretty much like it :)

[Dream]

Well... I have big expectations for this next LP. Loved it.

[Tryptophan]

I really like this song, but I have some minor remarks:

It seems a bit predictible, the same (good) tune is used throughout the whole song.
The "all the boys, all the girls" intermezzo is a bit generic and doesn't add much.
I can't help the feeling that I've heard it before.

So it's good, really good, but it misses something, I can't put a name to it, something HLH and MM both do have.

[ARushOfLove]

I simply LOVE it! :dazzled: It's such a feel good song!

[lutzno]

for those who think ETIAW wont be on LP5, Every Teardrop Is A Waterfall is written on either jonnys guitar of guys bass cant remember which one, so i doubt they would put it there if it wasnt on the album

[The Joker]

Now this song is more like it

[moza]

To me,Charlie Brown is the best new song:)

[Juanma]

To me,Charlie Brown is the best new song:)

[SarahSchimidt]

MY favorite so far.
Hands down.
:wideeyed:

I swear I'm not biased because I love Charlie Brown and Coldplay.... :worried:
I truly love it.

EXACTLY. Best song Coldplay have ever written, in my opinion.
IM IN LOVE WITH IT! :heart::awesome:

[romanglass]

I am joining the Charlie Brown appreciators! Love the song, although I can't put my finger on exactly why :D

[w1ll1am7]

it is a good song, although I wish they kept the 'Cartoon Heart' title...

[bedtime83]

It's amazing..I can't stop listening to it & I'm not a huge fan of live recordings.

[howyousawtheworld]

I would probably say Major Minus is best in quality but Charlie Brown I think will become a crowd favourite to join the ranks of In My Place, Clocks and Yellow.

[Pink]

I think this is going to become a live favorite. I'll bet Johnny's riff is going to become a Coldplay classic, like the Viva chant and the Clocks piano intro.

[Juanma]

Brilliant song.
The guitar :o
the little bit chorous part.

[Dream]

Well it's definitely one of my favorites now along with Major Minus. Imo, Chris has gotten better at performing live, just felt like saying that. I think this next LP will very much surpass the likes of Viva La Vida

[loversfix42]

For anyone who's interested. I made an iPhone ringtone of the intro guitar riff of Charlie Brown, mostly because i'm obsessed with it :D.

http://www.megaupload.com/?d=99D9DL7V

Just download it and drag it into iTunes.

[- DAN -]

I am enjoying this song. It reminds me of Bon Iver and Fleet Foxes for some reason.

[annabanana]

Incredible sound. Coldplay are back. All good things come to those who wait.

[Ireentje]

Well it's definitely one of my favorites now along with Major Minus. Imo, Chris has gotten better at performing live, just felt like saying that. I think this next LP will very much surpass the likes of Viva La Vida

I like how you stole my avatar :P For the sake of less confusion, would you maybe mind picking another picture? I would really appreciate that.

[MichMoch]

Charlie Brown and Hurts Like Heaven are my favourites until now

[lostandcold1]

I love Jonny's guitar in this song. He is brilliant:o

[Pier62b]

The riff is very good but i think they miss a really chorus singing.

Not their best lyrics, probably because I can't really make it out, but I like this! Wayyyy better than wa wa wa wa waterfall.
And Jonny's guitar parts were just <3

It sounds different from their past, but nice different. I'm waiting for the studio version.

[CHRISMOTT]

BEST RECORD BY FAR LETS HOPE THEVE GOT SOME MORE LIKE THIS ALREADY CLASSIC

[Batmotor]

:D

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g0U0KpuvUNw

yeah this song is also great,but who the hell is charlie brown?
i know a film with that name but i honestly know it isn't about that haha:)

Maybe this new album will be even better then 'viva la vida'
ooh wait it just will be better i just know it :sneaky:

this new album will be more in the leaugue of the first two LP's i think.

The Oracle answered your question TODAY.

June 8, 2011 - submitted by Robin van Vliet, Netherlands

Q. Dear Oracle,

At the Rock Am Ring festival Coldplay performed a new song called Charlie Brown. My question is: who is he, and why has Coldplay dedicated this song to him?

Greetings from The Netherlands!


The Oracle replies:

It's definitely not dedicated to a real person. The only Charlie Brown (http://youtu.be/h38srxvt6qE) I know of is the comic strip creation by Charles M. Schulz. Given the lyric that led most fans to think the song was called Cartoon Heart, I'd say it's named after him.

[Jonesey16909]

Favourate song of all the new ones! Love the tune of it, so catchy!

[Autonom]

Aww why couldnt they release this as their first single instead of ETIAW, I NEED this studio version before the summer is over!

[Sleep]

Aww why couldnt they release this as their first single instead of ETIAW, I NEED this studio version before the summer is over!

Oh God. I haven't even thought about this...
If the album does come out, like they say it is, that means summer would have began and ended. I would be back in school as I am finally listening to the studio version of this song...

Holy hell. I don't think I can go that long without having an actual studio version of this song.... or any of these songs.

[♥CartoonHeart♥]

I LOVE this song! O_O :dazzled:

Might even take over Square One as the favourite..

[Phoebeo]

The lyrics I hear for it:

I stole a key,
Took a car downtown where the lost boys meet,
I took a car downtown and took what they offered me.
To set me free,
I saw the lights go down at the end of the scene,
I saw the lights go down and they're standing in front of me.

My scarecrow dreams, (?)
When they smashed my heart into smitharines,
I be a bright red rose come bursting the concrete.
Be the cartoon heart,
Light a fire, light a spark,
Light a fire, a flame in my heart.
We'll run wild,
We'll be glow-in-the-dark.

All the boys, all the girls,
All the (?)
All the boys, all the girls,
All the (?)

All the high's, all the low's,
??
We'll run wild,
We'll start glowing-in-the-dark.

So we'll run wild,
We'll be glow-in-the-dark.

I hear it as ''All the highs, all the lows
As the moon will be spinning around
We’ll run wild
We’ll start glowing in the dark''

But I don't know if that's right or wrong. :wacko:

[illuvcoldplay]

Sill stuck on Charlie Brown, have listened to it about 100 times already

[kspillers2]

Love it, love it, love it!!!!!!!!

[Major_Love]

Hear the little introduction to the song...the voices sound very alienish... :P I love that! ;)

(Yeah and I just heard the first 15 sec of the vid). :D

[Drew42LP5]

I'd prefer Cartoon Heart as the name.

[needfixing]

loved it yesterday night in Venice!

[Juanma]

Still my favourite

[TheSkittz]

I love this song partially because I loved charlie brown as a kid! Every halloween I watch the Charlie brown halloween special!

[Phoebeo]

When we still had Cartoon network, I used to watch Charlie Brown too. :wacko:


Oh good old days. :nice:

[Rvs_009]

Now I saw the live performance on pinkpop i know it for sure. This is gonna be a great hit, What an awesome track

[foxeh]

Im a bit off-Topic now but isnt it odd and coincident that MX means 1010 in Roman, 10th October and the last fastival is at the 8th October.
That would mean they drop the Album 2 days after their last Concert? :S

[ColdplayingfromKansas]

I noticed that :wink3:

Actually, another thought I had was that LP5 would drop 1010 days after Viva--which would mean we would get it July 7th but I don't see that happening now

[oldmuckers]

I have a feeling that when its all said and done this song will be right up there with the giants... Yellow, Clocks, Viva la Vida, Fix You... songs that the band will always be known for and always be played live... i think this is gonna be one of those songs.

Yes, the sing is as beautiful as the cartoon...well, I feel it...simply perfect!!!

[The Champion]

I love the moment when they sing "Light the fire, from a spark, light the fire, flame in my heart"

[Phoebeo]

^ I love that too. And the moment Chris sings ''We’ll run wild, We’ll be glowing in the dark''

[Ronnie O Sullivan]

Hey guys :-)

i am wondering whats the meaning of this song...my first idea was that it is about the feeling of being young, a bit naive and this is something which lasts forever..also when youre growed up.

What are your ideas ? :)

[Juanma]

I love the moment when they sing "Light the fire, from a spark, light the fire, flame in my heart"

:wacky:

LOVE that part too

Seriously? I don't have any fucking idea what can it be about.

[coldplayfan_115]

Charlie Brown is wonderful (song and cartoon :D ) Personally, I was surprised at how different Major Minus was from live performance to studio version...

[tesseract]

Yes and that's why i hope they let it sound as it was played live. A briliant song...one of those i would like to see on LP5.

[EdPlay]

Oh please god don't let that ever happen! :bigcry: I'm so disappointed with the new song :cry:

I loved the studio version of MM :dozey:

[Major_Love]

Lol...last night I drank an Charlie Brown Cocktail... and I said: "Just because there is a new Coldplay song...". The cocktail was as great as the song. ;)

[bedtime83]

I really hope they place this tonight :cool:

This sounds so fantastic live.

I think it's much better then LIT II. :wideeyed:

[Telepian]

I'm going to kill them if they make Chris's voice electronic like they did in the 3 new songs. If they keep it like it is in the live version, I'm going to love this song.

[EmilySkittlez]

I totally agree with you on that one.

[Denise]

I already love it A LOT, but I agree too :nod:

[Major_Love]

Why always so sceptical? If the boys think this electronic voice works better on the song?! You had never heard Charlie Brown with such a voice but you know that you'll hate it with some effects at this point?! Ok, good, your opinion, but that seems ridicolous!

I'm really sure that there will be some effects and I'm curious to hear a live version of the song. Wait and see, than consider it as good or bad. Thats my way.

[SueDeNimes]

ridiculous! Fixed it for you.

Um... They didn't make Chris' voice electronic for ETIAW and Moving to Mars. In ETIAW, I don't hear any difference from his usual singing voice. In Moving to Mars, the beginning is quite deep, but it's very close to his speaking voice, and after that he has his usual voice with Will as backup singer. In Charlie Brown, on the other hand, what you hear during the intro (that squeaky voice) is Chris's voice with a "slight" pitch modification (and that's an understatement). What I'm saying is that you should still give the new songs a second chance, despite the editing. I, for example, loathe speeded up vocals but I still think Charlie Brown is an awesome and catchy song. It just spent almost as long a time at the mixers' as photo models spend in Photoshop ;).

I think it's much better then LIT II. :wideeyed:

it is :wideeyed: :wideeyed:

Good post vrdagam.....I really resent people who call the vocal effect in MM/ETIAW autotune.

ETIAW sounds fairly normal, actually...I think there are just a few places where Will's backup vocals + perhaps a layer of Chris's voice (or Chris's voice being echoed in some way) are offputting at first.

This song is the next Life in Technicolor ii

The chord progression is actually very similar; if you transposed it down a half step the first part would sound a lot like LIT. Try singing LIT's words over the main riff. ;)

Nah but this song definitely gives me a similar vibe of youthfulness, I love it.

I loved to hear it live :awesome: :wacky:

[Prospector]

I've just listened to it again and I could hear a tack piano sound along with jonny's guitar on the riff, am I the only one who took so long to realise that?

I know this isn't the right place to talk about the song, but I wanted to share the better version of Princess of China that I have attempted to make. I want to get it around to a lot more of you coldplayers.

So it may just be me, but I've always thought that etiaw's beginning is actually continuation from the song before it. it seems that they altered the single so it doesn't appear that way. so while listening to charlie brown live @ lollapalooza, i noticed the ending to it sounded really similar to how they began etiaw @ lollapalooza. so maybe charlie brown is the prelude to the finale that is etiaw? comments?

[vreza]

coldplay have to made the jumping thing a signature of this song! chris has to lead the jumping every time this song's played live!
JUMP JUMP JUMP JUMP! *johnny's guitar riff*
