I just wanted to post my appreciation for 'Postcards From Far Away'.

Even though it is quite a short piece of music it is by far my favourite piece on Prospekt's March, or perhaps out of all of the new material I have heard since the release of AROBTTH.

It reminds me of the track 'Parachutes'. Short but sweet.

It also has a 'Bucket For A Crown' vibe to it, which I think can still be found on YouTube.

I like that, even though Coldplay have taken the commercial path with their music, they're still able to create something as deep and as beautiful as this. If you get what I mean.

It was completely unexpected.

I got tears in my eyes when I heard this, it's just amazing. I just love it.

FixYougirl · 26-11-2008, 05:52 PM

Great song but really too short though.

annabelle · 27-11-2008, 10:38 AM

It's short but sweet. I absolutely love this song!

Dan, I love your avatar. I don't know if you saw CP live this time out, but they played some Boards of Canada before Coldplay went on. I was jamming out, it was great.

It's short but sweet, which makes me delighted and sad at the same time.

It is indeed a rather fine piece of music. Short, sweet and yet touching. I might want to learn how to play it some time, I don't think it's so hard to play.

EverybodyLies · 04-12-2008, 03:28 PM

I know its BEAUTIFUL, i wish it was like 3 hours long

that would make me happy

мaямellata · 04-12-2008, 03:33 PM

Magnus · 04-12-2008, 04:51 PM

A beautiful piece of piano, but I have a feeling like it's unfinished... Would've been a great song if with lyrics and 3 mins long...

Strawberry Swinger · 04-12-2008, 08:03 PM

no , without lyrics,but with development

coldplay_are_forever · 06-12-2008, 01:23 PM

I LOVE IT!! I think this song is pure genius, deep and touching and...AMAZING!
Btw I wish it was a bit longer too, cause it's too good!! But if coldplay thinks that's its lenght then fine by me

Magnus · 06-12-2008, 02:05 PM
