Strawberry Swing by Coldplay is probably the MOST creative music video ever made
The song's not ultra special but the video is brilliant! That would've taken thousands of man-hours.
From the official Californication Season 1 soundtrack - Temptation
I'm amused and disgusted all at once. But a little more amused. I usually can't tolerate slapstick Hindi comedy, but I just had to get this weird urge out of the way. To be honest, I really didn't have this kind of movie in mind when I wrote that, but I guess I've been wearing my Punjabi genes a bit often these days. I was so into it today that I even started digging the music. Seriously, listen to it.
Heck, try calling me!Friday is also the day when the free download of the album will become available right here on Coldplay.com. If you want to be among the very first to have it, then set a reminder for 9am UK time, as we can now confirm that's when the download will be going live. Click here to find out what time that is where you are.
Downloads will be available on Coldplay.com. Check http://www.coldplay.com/newsdetail.php?id=393
I can't wait! :D
Especially their older stuff. Quite reminiscent of the sounds of my favourite Electronica group - The Crystal Method. Check out this 1995 track from their album Exit Planet Dust. This is 'Leave Home' by The Chemical Brothers.
Coldplay rocks. Or soft rocks. Or probably alternative rocks. Or whatever you wanna call it. But they sure do it bloody well.
It's settled then. They're definitely in my top 3 all-time favourites. Bryan Adams, Coldplay and Evanescence - in no particular order. I got hold of Coldplay's last album, Viva La Vida, only this past week. And I loved it. Just 2 hearings and I already have a favourite song. See why.Yes! When it started we had high hopes
Now my back's on the line
My back's on the ropes
When it started we were alright
But night makes a fool
of us in the daylight
There we were dying of frustration
Saying "Lord lead me not into temptation"
But it's not easy when she turns you on
Sin, stay gone
If you'd only, if you'd only said yes
Whether you will's anybody's guess
God, only God knows I'm trying my best
But I'm just so tired of this loneliness
So up they picked me by the big toe
I was held from the rooftop, then they let go
Dizzily screaming 'Let the windows down'
As I crumble to the ground
If you'd only if you'd only say yes
Whether you will's anybody's guess
God, only God knows she won't let me rest
But I'm just so tired of this loneliness
I've become so tired of this loneliness
Bryan Adams is God to me. It's true.
Bryan's music heals me like nothing else does. It worked first about 9-10 years back, when I was still in school. That's when I first heard his music and fell in love with it. It wasn't funny the way he had a song for every, and I mean every damn 'situation' in my life. Over time, I started listening to him only when I felt low. His slow ballads were my poison. And they worked like a magic potion. His music would make me feel sorry for myself, it would make me cry. And then magically, only in a few hours I literally forgot that I was depressed. I'm not kidding. The guy's a genius. Today, after years, I felt like listening to Bryan Adams again. Today, after years, he made this cold rock of a heart gulp its own blood and cry. Today, Bryan Adams became God all over again.--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This is the song that got me all teary-eyed today. I'll Always Be Right There - from the album MTV Unplugged - his best by far. It seemed so apt today.
