Something New: Parachutes

oldmuckers · 28-01-2010, 05:26 PM

One of the things that I love about Coldplay is that no matter how many times I listen to an album I always seem to find something that I didn't notice before. This was the case when I decided to listen to Parachutes today for the first time in quite a while. Before i share what it is that found I thought it would be interesting to ask other board members to go back and listen to the album again, really listen, and then make a post on this thread with anything new that you just never really noticed before. It's like finding out something new about and old friend and if enough people participate we can do it with the rest of the albums.

What I found: So I was listening to the album the whole way through today and, as sily as it is, I never noticed that how in the song Parachutes there is a direct lyrical reference tho the Shiver. We all know the line from Shiver, "I'll be waiting in line just to see if you care" and it just hit me for the first time today that in the song Parachutes he sings "here I am and I'll wait in line." I know it seems like a small detail but for me it adds evem more depth to that little 46 second song and ties the album together a little more in a way.

I would really love to hear what other people find... be it a lyric, concept, bass line, guitar riff... anything that is new to you even after all these years.

Coincidentally, I've had Parachutes on non-stop rotation in my car cd player for about 2 weeks now.

In anticipation... ugh...

I'm not sure that I've noticed anything odd/different about it from when I listed to it before, but I do understand what you mean about lyrics being repeated or referenced in other songs. I have noticed they do that quite often throughout their entire catalog of songs, even now.

Today I listened to Easy To Please. I heard that background noise much stronger than I used to. It is awesome

MartinFan · 28-01-2010, 07:40 PM

Great Album!!! I noticed on (Low), towards the end you can hear someone kinda screaming, it's pretty cool.

I've never noticed that! I will listen to that next time I hear it.

lol, I love when people excitedly point out obvious things everyone should notice on the first listen. Like 'that strange chiming sound during the second verse of clocks'.

MrMagpie · 28-01-2010, 11:25 PM

I noticed that there is an extra song at the end of the album if you don't turn it off right away.

I think this thread, and others like it that will hopefully come, is a great idea! I'm a relatively new Coldplay uberfan, so this is awesome. I love that there are people as geeky as I am about our boys to talk to. Now, I'm off to listen. Will report back later with any findings.

This is not on the parachutes album but on the AROBTTH I heard that 'moo' in the middle of the song!!

Chris Martin recycling lyrics for other songs on same album = nothing new
