Originally posted by WojBhoy:I prefer Teardrop, to be honest. Paradise is certainly ok, I would have no trouble listening to it again, but I probably wouldn't choose to. It has the same feel of a couple of songs on Rush of Blood - names escape me though - with that swaying chord progression, and I like that, but it feels like it's that era of Coldplay being reworked by a male Rihanna. Not that I think that's an innately bad thing, but of the new stuff I've heard, it's far from the best. Charlie Brown certainly leaves Paradise choking far behind in its wake. Someone on Coldplaying.com said it was a song designed for radio-play, but they didn't listen to the radio for a reason, and I think I'm somewhere in that as a non-radio listener.
Curious you say this, I was going to post this, seen on coldplaying.com :

"It has boy and girl lead characters and top of our list for the girl part was Rihanna… but it took a while to pluck up the courage to ask her."
I know i'll love it live
