sorry but when the musicians began singing for money, politics for the state, not interest the bands .

plus I do not think Chris is passionate and inspired about American politics. Chris is british .

If you don't think Chris is interested in American politics, then you don't know much about him.

I am sorry not know Chris

politrics U.S is known to be one of worst seen by the world outside, I had read in a newpaper politician. very long ago in the past . why be interested in their policy if in any case they consider themselves the most important power in the world.
and listen to any other countries them apart.

I'm American and I don't think it's insensitive. I think it's a great moment of feelings recorded by Coldplay that was inspired by something tragic.

I refuse to wallow in misery every 9-11. A lot of people died that day and they don't get the chance to enjoy life on Earth anymore. I think they would want us to be happy on this day rather than cry.

Tragedies happen in every country, every day that don't get any news coverage. I think this song covers a lot more than just 9-11 and America.

Please guys, it took us a lot of time to rearrange all the topics in the proper sections, help us keep them organised and don't create useless threads like this.

Thank you

How in the living hell did this thread somehow get into the Unreleased forums? I created this thread in the general Coldplay Forum and it's always been in the general Coldplay Forum. Please don't create useless posts like this one either.

Your thread didn't end up there. Someone created a duplicate thread there, so it was moved to this forum, and then merged with your existing one.

i.e., it wasn't a useless post, so don't go all meow on her.

Happy Birthday Politik!

I had the same reaction! And violins make the song even more wonderful!

Politik has to be one of the best songs every written, period. Nothing I've ever heard compares to the raw emotion of it.

Happy birthday Politik!

Let me tell you the story of how I fell in love with this song...
I can hardly believe it now, but I had never even heard of this song until 2010! I wasn't even a fan of the band until I was introduced to them by borrowing my dad's copy of X&Y last year. After listening to it I was happily surprised by what I heard, and decided I would try out some of their earlier material. So, I went to the iTunes store to listen to some of the 30 second previews from AROBTTH. Of course I had already heard of The Scientist and Clocks (who hasn't???) but what was this song called Politik I had never heard of before? Overall the album seemed decent from what I had heard, but of course just hearing 30 seconds of each song could not have prepared me for what was to come when I finally had the whole album in my iTunes library... I listened to Politik for the first time and was shocked. How had I never heard this before??? As soon as the guitar riff kicks in after Chris finishes "Give me love over this" my eyes begin to water, and I know that this is no ordinary song. After hearing the rest of the album I am amazed that this masterpiece of a record had existed for over 8 years without my knowing.
Now whenever I hear the unmistakeable opening notes of Politik on in my iPod, I smile to myself knowing that the next 5mins 19seconds of my life will be amazing no matter what happens.
I was never aware that Politik had been written with the appalling events of 9/11 in mind until now, and this discovery only enhances the emotional impact that comes with this song whenever I hear it.
Here's hoping that in 10 years from now, Chris and the boys are still playing this beast of a song so that the audiences of the future can feel the same raw emotion that they felt 10 years ago.

Okay. I Understand. It's just that I don't like my threads being called useless. On this Occasion, I can understand, but it's just that one word that's set me on fire until I realized.
