If I was him I'd be singing stuff like ABC by the Jackson 5 or I feel pretty because guess what, he's got reasons enough to be happy. Now according to you Caraliz a discussion about an artists work is not encouraged in the lounge. I'm open to discussion I welcome it. I thought the whole idea of a message board was to discuss things?

As for X&Y being full of hopeful and optimisitic songs Rubah, I don't know tbh I kinda heard the ones put out on radio every now and again having already long before it was released decided about not being a huge fan of Cold Play. At the time I was however open to being converted however I found his work samey and un-challenging of his capabilities as for it being hopeful and optimistic? Perhaps but in a way that doesn't seem like either it's like one of those hopeful and optimistic people who when push comes to shove just stands back and hopes for the change.
Ok i will admit now that i am a massive Coldplay fan, and i started this thread so bear in mind am gonna find it hard not to be biased, but jus because Chris Martin has a seemingly good life i.e Hot wife(if u say so) kids and money he doesn't have the right to feel sad sometimes, you don't know whats going on in their relationship or in his life, so don't just assume that he's incredibly happy and walks around with a smile on his face the Joker would kill for. But in interviews and performances i have seen that he appears quite happy so maybe he just enjoys making this style of music, i enjoy listening to it and find the majority of the songs uplifting rather than depressing like most sceptics. Oh and i love the new album, apart from "42" which did actually depress me a little lol
