Did Will Champion really write "Christmas Lights" ???

ksg_tarheelfan · 01-12-2010, 09:40 PM

My music player (WMP) lists Will Champion as the composer.

I'd thought that this was Chris's song. But Will has some good songwriting talent.

Choldplayer · 01-12-2010, 09:53 PM

that probably explains why its such a poor song.

That's not very nice!

They list the composers in alphabetical order, so Will is always first because his last name starts with C.

ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME O.O?!

Well, I don't think that's true. Maybe something like mistake. Not that I doubt that Will composed the best Christmas song ever (and one of the best Coldplay songs), but it would be hmm. Too beautiful?

But isn't Buckland and Berryman before C? -.-

Will's name is the only one listed in that part of the properties section...besides ... B as in Buckland and Berryman would appear before Will's if that was the case

I must be going mad but what has happened to Coldplay?.Ive said this before but theyve gone poppy and so,so mainstream and MOR its really such a shame.

notlost92 · 01-12-2010, 10:10 PM

listed on my iTunes as "Composers: Chris Martin, Guy Berryman, Will Champion & Jonny Buckland"

They all "compose" them but Chris wrote it. I'm pretty sure he said he did on 60 Minutes.

That's your opinion but I think this is completely untrue.

Good point. Everything changes, but that doesn't matter, they still do the best music.
