    And it's bound to be a hit lol


    Strawberry Swing IMHO is one of the best songs of Coldplay. It is the first "mature" song of the band - not all that mellow simple and repetitive Scientists and Fix You. This song has a special mood, excellent harmony and arrangement, plus the vocals are just great. Check the version from LeftRightLeftRight - live it's much better than studio.

    I do agree about it being better live than in the studio

    Coldplay break sales record

    Coldplay have become the first band to sell more than one million full digital albums in the US, according to reports.

    Online fans have now snapped up over 2 million of the band’s full albums – as opposed to separate album tracks – across the world.

    Figures compiled by sales analysts Nielsen SoundScan take into account full downloads of the band’s four full-length studio albums, a full-length EP and a live album.

    Coldplay are currently touring the US, and are set to play at the Home Depot Center in Carson, CA tomorrow evening (July 18).

    No, the only song that they have heard is Viva la Vida. Actually, the school Orchestra (I play Viola) is playing Viva la Vida this coming school year! We debuted it July fourth weekend lol.

    It's even worse when it comes to U2. Wankers.

    I'm seeing them August third!

    Hey there, I don't believe that we have chatted yet.
