I actually really enjoyed the orchestral arrangement of that Chris Martin song.  Something tells me he'd appreciate that too.  Remember people that arranging a song like that for a full orchestra is an almost unfathomable amount of work.  The results, in my opinion, are great!  As a songwriter I can't imagine that C.M. would feel anything other that complete awe at the treatment the Prague Philharmonic gave his funny little tune...  :-)

Even without the hate, I don't see the point (of the arrangement, of playing it here...). There is much we could all learn about music we may not listen to normally (e.g. orchestral/classical music), and this is not helping us!

I enjoyed the segue and this piece as a nice something different.  It's quite lovely in its way. 

The music they play in sappy movies.

Oh I think we need to hear BIg Cat after this. I suddenly found myself in the DMV elevator for a moment.

Bill - No!

dunno what all the hate is about, I like it alot 

C'mon, BillG, even Mari rated this a one. I think that means it's got to go!

Q:  What did Kenny G say as he stepped off of the elevator?

A:  This place rocks!

(Actually, this is a decent song.)

What color was this elevator again?    Going down...like my rating. 

OK, but how 'bout some good 20th century music like

Sibelius?

Cool people hate Coldplay. I'm so glad I'm not a cool person.

Four thumbs down. Actually, I'm with them. Make it five.

Grover: Oh, I've been to Prague. Well, I haven't "been to Prague" been to Prague, but I know that thing, that, "Stop shaving your armpits, read the Unbearable Lightness of Being, date a sculptor, now I know how bad American coffee is thing... "
Jane: They have good beer there.
Grover: "... now I know how bad American beer is thing."

Kicking and Screaming, 1995

terrible cover of a terrible song.

What a waste of talent...

I much prefer the song this way. I can't get into Coldplay otherwise, and even then it's only a 6 for me. *shrugs*

I guess we can only be grateful you didn't play ‘My Heart Will Go On’ from the same collection.

fabulous take on a chris martin coldplay tune. We have no coldlplay in our music collection. Maybe now's the time to get some coldplay...and this beautiful rendition as well.

That was pretty mushy wasn't it?

yeah why does this arrangement sound like film score?
