Album Or Solo Piano?

Maloo · 05-06-2008, 09:26 PM

Which version does it for you and why?

I prefer the organ heavy thumping of the album version...I love the direction they took it in and it fit so well in the #3 slot on the album...I know people claiming to be Coldplay purists prefer the simple piano of the solo version but, although a nice track to have, it doesn't convey the dynamic nature of the band at this point and to have a more piano based slimmed down version would have been a step back in terms of the direction of the album...

At first I thought it was really cheesy but after a while I've grown to love it.

It was a really hard decision but I've got to say I do prefer the album version. Has so much soul to it.

both are brilliant in their own way.

jc90 · 05-06-2008, 09:39 PM

i like the album version by a hair

*Sarah* · 05-06-2008, 09:41 PM

and now i like how everyone loves the song because i remember ppl moaning about its title so much! ahahah!

jc90 · 05-06-2008, 09:43 PM

^what? i love the title!

*Sarah* · 05-06-2008, 09:53 PM

^yep, you do and me too... but many people didn't like it at all when they first heard it a few months ago. same goes for yes and strawberry swing, which turned out to be outstanding songs as well, in my opinion.

and that's why you simply can't judge by a title. i said that so many times back then

Eh Steve! · 05-06-2008, 09:58 PM

its not as good as i thought but still as good

Eh Steve! · 05-06-2008, 11:31 PM

To be honest when i heard the acoustic version of lost i was completely amazed , it was one of those songs that i liked instantly , this gave me high hopes for the album version. But i hate the album version , i was so disappointed with it !! the acoustic should have made the album not just as a bonus track !!

i'm more used to the solo piano one, so i am not liking the album version, but hey usually the song that i dislike at first turns to become my fave song so...

i can't decide yet.

When I first heard the acoustic version I loved it, listened to it many times in a row. The album version isn't bad, I listen to both as both give away a different experience.

Has to be the album version.

It is a classic Coldplay album, it's the new Fix You and the lyrics are superb!!!

mountainloafers · 06-06-2008, 10:19 PM

Pardon the pun, The beauty of the lyrics get "lost" in the album version. Its good but, the accoustic version is great!

Had I not heard the accoustic version 1st. Id have less appreciation for the album version.

can't choose between the two, maybe when LP5 is out I will be able to make a decision
