Gah! They ALMOST Did It! - Page 3

Its beautiful, and I agree it should have been much longer. If they really want to make shorter albums or EP's in this case I would rather they give us less songs that had a longer running time.
A short song here and there has its place, but these self imposed time constraints are starting to interfere with the overall quality of the songs when they seem to feel that EVERY song must be that way. It sounds unfinished.

This is equivalent to easy to please, or see you soon. Not a full fledged radio ready song. But a masterwork nonetheless. I say any CP fan since parachutes that doesn't really like this song, is just plain spoiled.

Yes, I have a feeling that this song is also unfinished, just like Postcards...

Even in this version they both are the highlights of the album for me (along with LIT 2), but they would've been perfect if finished.

this songs is amazing i love it just the way it is...

carkids · 11-12-2008, 01:43 AM

the fact though is that chris really put his feelings in his songs and that's what makes perfect songs as well (:

Yes? · 13-12-2008, 02:43 PM

Without doubt my favourite from PM (LIT ii a close second). I love it the way it is tbh, but hey thats my opinion...

doritji · 14-12-2008, 06:35 PM

when i first read this thread, i hadn't heard the song before ( because i waited 'till it was released ) and i was thinking : what are they complaining about ? every song has got to end sometime.

but after i heard it, i felt just the same way. i always feel like shouting : c'mon Chris continu !
but we'll have to live with the fact that this piece of beauty is a very short one, but that doesn't change the fact that it's wonderful !

Famous Old Painter · 17-12-2008, 11:52 AM

I totally feel the same, though I think I mentioned it in another thread. The song keeps building and building and if it were just a minute and a half longer it could've been a massive beautiful masterpiece but it just unwinds. It feels like half a song to me.

coldplayGeorgia! · 30-12-2008, 02:11 PM

ye it should have been longer but for me it's anyway the best song of CP

imho

TheEscapist · 13-01-2009, 05:35 PM

I love it, but there isn't ONE song that I don't like...

No musician/s have ever done that but Coldplay

58328832 · 18-01-2009, 11:43 AM

5th best CP song

A Whisper ? ^^

LewieGee · 26-01-2009, 08:23 PM

This is my personal favourite Coldplay song.
It's just beautiful. It would have been perfect had it been that little bit longer.

Technicolor Liver · 13-02-2009, 08:58 PM

I think we need to find someone who knows Coldplay and can tell them "It's the perfect song, just make it full length

agreed completely, it's definitely a grower though. But i agree with the poster it's near perfect. I think the length is just right. leaves u wanting more. definitely in coldplays top 10 songs without a doubt though.
