![]() X and Y (2005) [ larger cover art ] |
Oh brother I can't I can't get through
I've been tryin' hard to reach you 'cause I don't know what to do
Oh brother I can't believe it's true
I'm so scared about the future and I want to talk to you
Oh I want to talk to you.
You can take a picture of something you see
In the future where will I be?
You can climb a ladder up to the sun
Or write a song nobody had sung
Or do something that's never been done
Are you lost or incomplete?
Do you feel like a puzzle, you can't find your missing piece?
Tell me how you feel
Well I feel like they're talkin' in a language I don't speak
And they're talkin' it to me
So you take a picture of something you see
In the future where will I be?
You can climb a ladder up to the sun
Or write a song nobody had sung or do
Something that's never been done, do
Something that's never been done
So you don't know where you're goin'
And you want to talk
And you feel like you're goin' where you've been before
You tell anyone who'll listen, but you feel ignored
But nothing's really makin' any sense at all, let's talk
Let's talk, let's talk, let's talk.
(Robot whistles)

| coachc (Madison, WI) | Posted: Feb 01, 2013 - 04:26 I wonder if they have any decent music left in them. Really enjoyed "Rush of Blood" and "Parachutes" but not much after that. No shame in making two pretty good albums but not being able to follow up. |
| NeuroGeek (Just Way Out There) | Posted: Jan 29, 2013 - 13:19 My shallow opinion is that Coldplay was much better before Chris met Gywneth. Glad he's happy though - that's worth more to the universe than satisfying my taste in music. |
| borderlessworld (Good Old Germany) | Posted: Jan 29, 2013 - 13:16 Where can I download this song?! Been looking for this version for ages ... it's so much better than the album version. |

This is another great song that belatedly brought me back to Kraftwerk's Computer Love which I had never listened to when I was 12 in 1981. I wonder if that ever gets any play on RP. There is very little Kraftwerk played here but a couple of the notes from that riff remind me of the song "Computer Love" and the theme throughout the "Computer World" album (which I listened too very frequently in 1981 and after), as well. I think this song is pretty likable, despite its detractors. |
| Catecaneverall (Germany, Leipzig) | Posted: Jul 25, 2012 - 01:57 it's a fine song. the whole album ist great for road trips. |
| dwlangham (Nowhere to be found) | Posted: Jun 26, 2012 - 06:59 From 5 to a 4. Definitely doesn't wear well with age. Perhaps had it not been so overplayed from the outset. |
| WABX (Planet Earth) | Posted: Jun 26, 2012 - 06:57 Can we just call Coldplay the poor man's U2? What a sad rip-off. |

Certainly an interesting comparison. But isn't it a little problematic to start comparing a relatively large cross section of music listeners from say, 25 years ago to a very small subset of listeners who have discovered RadioPardise? From there you can get even more precise when you compare RP listeners who post and those who just listen. My point? I don't think this list of comments even remotely resembles the actual opinion of Coldplay even among RP listeners. |
