k2sriram96 · 05-06-2012, 05:47 AM

These should ring a bill of what ETIAW was to you at first sight..

All that torture...

Well, after hearing this song live, my opinion has changed a bit. It's a powerful song, but still not one of my favourites.

Darlene_Ihnfsa · 05-06-2012, 10:03 AM

cheerful theme but still not my fave, my 3 faves of the new album are the same than a year ago.

Tonsu · 05-06-2012, 10:08 AM

I couldn't even listen to it for about six months after the first ten or so plays.

Seeing it live changed that, and also now I enjoy the CD version

I think the reaction, while WAY over the top on here by certain people, even bordering on the quite scary, in general was completely understandable.

Thank goodness Coldplay were right and we were wrong

I still love it, though I enjoyed it a bit more when it just came out (because I was excited by the release and the return of Coldplay in my life

- I wasn't really a fan yet at that moment ).

Written In Graffiti · 05-06-2012, 02:05 PM

Loved it when it first came out, love it now. To the extent it is probably my favourite song from MX and one of my favourite all-time Coldplay songs (alongside Warning Sign and Politik).

MorningGlory · 05-06-2012, 02:08 PM

It's in my top-coldplay-songs so, this is for me a very good song. it's even the best of MX IMO. my view hasn't changed on this song, still love it more than every other song from MX!

Amber · 05-06-2012, 02:18 PM

Not my favorite,but not the worst either.Is a powerful song.

l0wxo2 · 27-06-2012, 11:11 AM

I still absolutely love this song just as much as I did when it first came out. One of the greatest live songs too...

Witfang_7 · 28-06-2012, 07:26 AM

still my fave on mx

The Final Track · 01-07-2012, 03:32 PM

Still consider it the bottom point of their career.

Prospector · 01-07-2012, 03:46 PM

Just before the album come out I was in love with it, now I think it's just a really good song, but I like Paradise more

Life in Technicolorii · 03-07-2012, 02:36 PM

I really like it! This was the song that made me re-love Coldplay all over again and get into them even more. I remember I was listening to the radio at night and heard this song and was like,"IS THIS COLDPLAY?!" I was so excited they had another new song, since they hand't released anything in a while. It's a up beat song and I love the guitar. It's so powerful live!

Poky · 03-07-2012, 03:38 PM

I like it more now. It's because of the power in live version, I think.

aschall · 08-07-2012, 07:27 AM

I cannot express how ridiculously underrated and hated this song is! ETIAW is in the big three for MX, along with HLH and CB.
