High Speed is one of the best early Coldplay songs - Page 2

High Speed is underrated. It doesn't deserve the kind of hate it gets.

Corkus · 11-06-2009, 02:13 AM

"We Never Change" is definitely my least favorite song on Parachutes, and even though I don't dislike it, it doesn't come close to the serene beauty of "High Speed". Lyrically, both songs are okay though nothing special, although combined with the "living life inside a bubble" line repeated in High Speed, I always envision a gently blowing field with surreal orange bubbles floating upward when listening to it.

High Speed is my favorite song from Parachutes, always reminds me of the ocean for some reason

But it's sublimity personified!

Mig-El · 11-06-2009, 05:16 AM

actually is one of my least favorites

ricardo · 21-07-2009, 10:38 PM

Yes Yes Yes! One of the best off Parachutes

YES. High Speed is amazing. One of my favourite early-Coldplay songs!

Plus, being as it's the only song from their previous works to make it onto Parachutes is pretty awesome.

Don't Panic did too.

Different versions, but still.

Exactly: different versions!

Don't Panic is a lovely song as well. I prefer the Parachutes version to The Blue Room one though.

High Speed = ownage and highly underrated.

If you all must ask, it conjures images of a sunny day in a city and being trapped inside a bubble with many others in their own.

EDIT - Floating. In the air. Whee.

KingChris · 29-07-2009, 06:10 PM

I disagree, i think songs like Don't Panic, We Never Change, and Spies are better. But that's my opinion.

Mine too. I use to always listen to that song, sometimes on repeat, on my iPod when I was at work.

High Speed is amazing live, while there are probably better songs on the album I have a personal endearment to high speed and we never change.

I dug up this thread because I had to apologize to Coldplay. I HATED High Speed for a looong time. Now I don't know what the hell I was thinking. I really love it now, even though the pre-Parachutes sound is still not my favorite, the song is... wonderful, for lack of a better word.
