10 years of having an amazing, powerful, deep, emotional, and beautiful song that is Politik

will always be at the very top of my coldplay favorites list!

This song, gives me the chills with its beauty, and it makes me feel like crying, because of the powerful emotions it brings up. Even When I was a kid, discovering coldplay, this song stood out. And I always wished to be able to go see coldplay in concert and get the chance to hear this beautiful song get played right in front of me. I've gotten the opportunity to hear it live twice now

Sorry for the long post. But I felt the song deserved a long post, cuz this song is epic

Dany93 · 10-09-2011, 10:17 PM

I can't believe that song's already 10 years old!
Because it's always so fresh and goosebumpy when I listen to it... It's poetry at its top! It's really like a prayer pronounced by all humanity, begging for love "over this"... And the stunning ending is just beyond the world.
Coldplay will never stop playing it, because they know this. That's one of those songs by them that makes you think "I'm so glad of the band. I'm proud of them being able to create such beauty. I feel lucky to be alive just to have the chance to listen to it."

My favourite version is the one at the Grammys in 2003, when they played with the orchestra... A m a z i n g .

Politik

HAPPY BIRTHDAY POLITIK!

Politik deserves all of the attention for the splendid lyrics that makes us think of honesty!

Maybe some of you aren't Americans, aren't old enough or just have a lack of understanding, but to celebrate the anniversary of a song that was shaped because an awful act is just idiotic and insensitive. A solemn remembrance is one thing. Goofy grins are embarrassing.

Maybe some of you are too sensitive, still weeping over terrible tragedies, or just have a lack of understanding too, but to celebrate the anniversary of a song that sent a message about the troubles of our world and brought people together to fight the plague of war and realize just how corrupt and sad our world has become is not idiotic and insensitive. Misunderstanding the concept of Politik is one thing. Denying its message and its influence is just embarrassing.

I may disagree with Chris/coldplay on politics, but i can agree with the message of "opening your eyes" ie paying attention.

anacaren08 · 11-09-2011, 07:18 AM

Im sorry but I don't understand why its idiotic to celebrate a song that we love. We aren't celebrating the tragedy, We are just talking about how amazing the song is. its unfortunate the song was inspired by something so awful, but it has a powerful message, and I love it.

Netoplay · 11-09-2011, 08:42 AM

It's been 10 years! And I still love the song!

Give me strength, reserve control give me heart and give me soul wounds that heal and cracks that fix tell me your own politik!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY POLITIK!

That's the first time i've seen that performance. It gave me chills, I've never seen Chris look so passionate during a song. It really was amazing.

Happy Birthday Politik!

And what does this have to do with the "B-Sides/EPs/Unreleased" section and multimedia in general?

Please guys, it took us a lot of time to rearrange all the topics in the proper sections, help us keep them organised and don't create useless threads like this.

Thank you

Of course 9/11 was a terrible event and was traumatizing for everybody (I was a kid but still perfectly remember that day). Celebrating the beauty of the song doesn't mean we're forgetting the awfulness of the event. And it doesn't have the same impact on me either : today I'm glad for having such a beautiful song, but that can't top the feeling I have anytime I remember 9/11...

Anyways, I will always love this song. It's Coldplay's best imo (and I'm afraid they'll never be able to top that), and one of my favourites all around.

SueDeNimes · 11-09-2011, 03:47 PM

I agree with what Denise has said.
Thread moved from MM to general Coldplay forum.

Additional comment from NumbersGirl: Will be merged with similar thread.

For my part I do not care to mixed American politics, Bush & Co the attacks with a song by Coldplay. Coldplay made love songs.
sorry but when the musicians began singing for money, politics for the state, not interest the bands .

plus I do not think Chris is passionate and inspired about American politics. Chris is british .
