Q. Dear Oracle this is true or false Politik was written days after the attacks of 11 September 2001?

Thanks Lovely Oracle

The Oracle replies:

Actually yes, Politik was written in the wake of that tragedy and very much inspired by those events.

I used to be indifferent about Politik but I changed my mind a couple of years ago. And I love the part that starts at approximately 3:00

That Grammys video was one of the very first Coldplay videos I ever saw.
Back in 2003 when I first heard of them, I headed to Limewire and downloaded everything I could possibly find. That performance of Politik was the first one. It made me fall completely in love with them instantly.
And I still think it's one of their best live performances ever!

Chris has said Politik was written 2 days (9/13/2001) after the events of 9/11 and was very much inspired by these events.

There's a Grammy survey that counts the Politik performance among the most memorable performances EVER at the Grammies along icons like Michael Jackson, Tina Turner, Elton John, etc. When you consider that Coldplay was (were) a little known indie band at the time, that's a great achievement.

For my part, I cannot watch or listen to Politik only 1x. I replay the whole song a few times, then replay it from "give me love over this" to the end a few more times. The only reason I'm hesitant to call it my absolute Coldplay best song is b/c I feel some loyalty toward Fix You. After all, without the latter I still might not have gotten into Coldplay music.

Nice to see those awesome coment

And I totally agree that most of the people only know about Clocks, Viva la Vida.. One day I posted a "Shiver" on my facebook and then my friend told me this: "Have you heard about Clocks, that's my favorite?" and I was like....bitch...REALLY?? because I knew that's the only song she knows. haha it's true, that annoys me too much

Anyway, yea, It's amazing how Politik is actually simple to play and still can be your favorite song because all those feelings and emotions makes this song soooo perfect!

nvdmm · 11-04-2012, 09:42 PM

great post and of course its an amazing song as is the whole album. its in another world compared to anything from MX

Blue Nails · 11-04-2012, 11:31 PM

Politik might be their best song... Definitely in the top three.
Watching that Grammys performance was the first time I understood why people enjoy live music so much, the way Chris goes crazy made a massive impression at the time.
I think it will always be my overall favourite Coldplay song.

coldplaymom · 11-04-2012, 11:35 PM

I don't watch Politik on youtube. I have this very nice and clear copy on my computer that I run to every time I want to watch the Grammys performance. I can't remember where I got it but the quality is much better than anything they have on youtube.

wow, really, I mean I also have all the videos on the comp, but the one I have from grammys is in poor quality just like the one on youtube, is there a chance you could somehow send it to me(mediafire or something), please, I'd be very grateful to you. I've always wondered how it would look like in better quality

Ok. I'll upload to mediafire and post the link here. I hope the quality won't suffer in the process.

TellMeYourPolitik · 12-04-2012, 12:05 AM

ooooooh thank you very MUCH! That's so nice of you! and it won't suffer, I was using it many times before like that

coldplaymom · 12-04-2012, 12:24 AM

No problem. Here you go http://www.mediafire.com/file/yq0clt...lharmonic).mpg

TellMeYourPolitik · 12-04-2012, 12:37 AM

omg, it is soooo clear, Thank you one more time, I'll definitely watch it for days!

Enjoy! I watched it on repeat for almost an hr. LOL

Witfang_7 · 12-04-2012, 03:02 AM

nice powerful song but not so memorable as their hit singles such as Clocks, In My Place and The Scientist. You know, there are really a lot of Coldplay songs that are so underrated. Take Politik yes, and also Amsterdam and Warning Sign
