What an epic song!

[Gigi88]

It looks like the perfect soundtrack for a film

I really love it

[nick311]

It's delicious.

[lndnsky]

Yep the word to describe this one is EPIC!

[Blue Nails]

Gorgeous, gorgeous song. :dazzled:

[R23]

Absolutely love this song. My god, just heard it the first time. True, the word is EPIC.:stunned:

[Marchez94]

My god it's really fantastic!!! The whole album is full of energy and relaxed moments...but this song is THE song!

[CoolScorp]

Awesome track!

[cooldude101]

:dazzled:

[Juanma]

:wacky:

need more listens

[Pier62b]

It's really good track but it sound like a farewell song.

[R23]

When the guitar comes in at around 1:50 it's kinda like the last part of Paul McCartney's Band On The Run. Don't you think?

[Twisted mind]

yes YES epic is the right word, it's my favourite song of the album :wacky:

[Nature]

Yup,the best song of the album.

if the whole album was like this then it would be there best album.

[Comicforce]

Mine too! :laugh3:

[James.]

It needs to be longer :cry:

[foxeh]

I think i found my new Favourite Song from Coldplay.
When he sings "comming away / comming our way" it gives me shivers.

i adore everything about it

Freaking TRUTH

[lifeincoldplaycolor]

this song and DLBYH are the best on the album (Charlie also rulzzz,and HLH and others :d )

[ianbach]

Last four songs..... fuck.... devastatingly awesome :smug:

[RunForTheHills]

I love this one, the second half really takes it to another level. It makes me wonder why they didn't think Moving To Mars would fit on this album, to me it's these types of songs that should have been the main direction of the album.

[johnnymax865]

it's a kind of Death and all his friends but at a higher level! beautiful!!!

[Zj23]

My only complaint is that it ends too fast haha, the second part of the song is beautiful. If it were longer, I don't know what I'd do haha.

[LVI56]

Like The Escapist meets What A Wonderful World... can hear both in the first half, and then drop in 42 for the second half. Amazing.

[viva la justin]

I can still hear the piano riff from the ending in my head, and my last listen was last night in bed :D

[n-cold]

Love this song ;)

[shred]

Epic indeed.

Though I feel it would be better if the first half of the song was expanded and made into a whole song. The second half is a bit of a let down...

[ColdplayingfromKansas]

^ I agree that the first part is absolutely amazing--nearly on-par with the crescendo of DaAHF where the guys belt it out :wacky:. The second half is good, too, but it can't compare with the first two minutes or so.

[AmbroseCadwell]

I think this is actually MX's 'The Escapist' to Don't Let It Break Your Heart's 'Death And All His Friends'- like how on X&Y, Twisted Logic is the big ending song, and 'Til Kingdom Come is after the end. I reckon UWTB could've been a hidden track after DLIBYH if the album had been constructed differently.

[lois]

SO BEAUTIFULX

[Matej]

it's a kind of Death and all his friends but at a higher level! beautiful!!!

My thoughts exactly!

[QuestionsOfScience]

I think it could have gone further, I was left slightly cold when I first heard it, but it's still an amazing song.

[ColdplayingfromKansas]

^ It's too short. :nod:

And after listening to it 22581271234 times, that's the only reason I continue to like Death And All His Friends more. I was lying in my bed this morning with all the lights off and the third stanza began (but especially the 'Then taking back the punch I threw / My arms turn wings oh those clumsy things . . .') and it just hit me as to how incredibly beautiful this song really is.

[Telepian]

This song needs a music video.

[DundahMifflin]

Up With The Birds is one of my favorites, still. The final three tracks make the album.

[The Duke]

I don't know if i've ever heard a song caputre the feeling of closure and moving on any better than UWTB.

[Gigi88]

Up With The Birds is one of my favorites, still. The final three tracks make the album.

I agree with you.

[Harondor]

When the second part of the song begins I always have the feeling that I'm on a boat, with the wind in my hear and birds flying high above me ^^
Wonderful song !

Wonderful song !

exactly how i feel!! although im rowing around the world!

[Martin04]

The end of this song is so uplifting... beginning with the guitar riff, transitioning into the "might have to go..." part, and ending with the great line: "A simple plot, but I know one day, good things are coming our way"

I feel like that last line sums up the beauty of Coldplay's music. It recognizes the shit in life and the hard moments but, at the end of the day, there is a sense of uplift and optimism in the face of all these challenges.

It's why the band is my all time favorite.

[maria77]

This song needs a music video.

I can only agree!! the song sure is special!

[ladypro615]

Why is this song so perfect?

[TecHniCoLoR_MX]

i was talking to my friend about old times and how life will never be the same. When Chris said, "And then im up with the birds", I nearly teared up. Then the second part, i just imploded.

[ladypro615]

I cant get over this song! Ridiculous!

[nvdmm]

Yup,the best song of the album.

if the whole album was like this then it would be there best album.


its such a beautiful song! cant stop listening to it

[lifeincoldplaycolor]

might have to go where they don't know my name float all over the world just to seeee her again and the good things are coming our way part makes my day

[Harondor]

What a pity they don't play it live :confused:

[ilovechriss]

I love it. Can't stop playing it, amazing! :D

[golfing7861]

This would be a great song if it didn't have all the weird background noises in the beginning, "UGHHHHHH" and "HMMMMMM"...

[DundahMifflin]

This would be a great song if it didn't have all the weird background noises in the beginning, "UGHHHHHH" and "HMMMMMM"...

I like them. It adds to the spacey atmosphere the song has towards the middle.

[postcards]

Epic song, I hope it gets played live and won't be another song like, (x&y)that never gets played live.

[amir.mohit]

oh great UWTB...
best song after poppyfields

[James.]

Epic song, I hope it gets played live and won't be another song like, (x&y)that never gets played live.

X&Y has been played live though!

[vivacious_]

amazing song, I really love it <3

[Rainystrawberry]

I love the Oh yeah part at the ending

[Gigi88]

What a pity they don't play it live :confused:

Maybe it's gonna be a single

[wabbit]

I only heard the violins at the end today after listening to the album 23745638 times.

Wow.

[Romy_MX]

This would be a great song if it didn't have all the weird background noises in the beginning, "UGHHHHHH" and "HMMMMMM"...

I think that's either Someone breathing air High up with the birds or having an orgasm because Chris' voice is so sexy

[uqyoty]

Perfect... The first part is kinda sleepy and it bores me until the guitar played and "might have to go Where they dont know my name"... This is the best part of this song

[Indigokid]

One of the best songs. I personally think this song doesn't get anything near to the recognition it deserves, certainly one of my current favorites. I even made a lyrics video to it, would be glad if you guys could check it out, thanks! Coldplay - Up with the birds [High Quality] [Lyrics] - YouTube

[Majda Xyloto_95]

This song sounds like heaven...:smug:

[TecHniCoLoR_MX]
