I appreciate that RP doesn't give a shit which songs are played where and how much.  They simply add what they think are the best tunes from the best albums.

Anyone else notice the intro to this song is pretty damn identical to the opening of "Brothers In Arms" by Dire Straits? Same key...same synth vibe...just no thunder.{#Ask}

Kind of a stretch, don't you think? A portion of the song has the same chord sequence? BFD. You could find 150 examples of that if you really looked. Every artist rips off somebody at one time or another. Sometimes intentionally, sometimes not.
All this "They ripped me off stuff" is getting kind of old.

The lyrics of most Beatles songs aren't exactly masterpieces of poesy - "I wanna hold your hand", "She loves you, yeah, yeah, yeah" -  but folk still like 'em. Or pick any other popular rock band.

Is it necessary to play this particular Coldplay song everyday? Marginal at best. Especially after the hundreth listen.

This is the first Coldplay album I have owned.  And I love it.  I love how dramatic the bridge is with the smashing cymbals in this song.{#Dancingbanana_2}

I think this song is done now.  Well, maybe play it a few more times - the band is kind of obscure and needs the exposure .. ;)
