I'd like to hear a "Fix You" snippet attached to "Sometimes..."

Nah I'll just stay away from Coldplay.

That is a beautiful sig gabrielvox

Back on topic: I do really, really like 'Fix You' (I know, I know I should be ashamed...). Aw, screw it, I LOVE 'Fix You'. But could it work at the end of 'Sometimes'? I dunno. It would either sound absolutely amazing or brutally crap.

You couldn't possibly take a song as personal and emotional as Sometimes and tack on something as emotionless and empty as Fix You. It wouldn't work on all sorts of levels.

The latter.

Ditto! There must be something wrong with me, I enjoy reading these kind of threads..

^ I guess I agree to some extent, but I think this has more to do with musical expression than "song writing skills" or whatever it's called. U2 clearly wants the vast majority of their songs the way you describe it, but their weakness on the other hand, is, IMO, that they often don't seem to be capable of doing it very different from that. Sometimes when you hear a U2 song, you almost think: Oh, and now the climax, of course, as usual. I don't think it's necessarily a weakness that your music isn't built up like this.

No, not a weakness, youre right. There's plenty of music I love that would seem to have no climax....The Cure, The Smiths, just right off the top of my head...

just a taste thing I guess

then again, The Cure and The Smiths never tried/were compared to U2...

Why thank you!

Actually, I think Fix You is one of their better songs, I like the video how it transitions into the live thing.

But dont go messin with my Sometimes - thats sacrilege

Parachutes --> Rush of Blood sound progressive, whereas X&Y is a sidestep in the wrong direction

I mean, they blatantly ripoff the Clocks piano intro in Speed of Sound, it's insane

I would like to see some 2000-2002 Coldplay, Franz, Strokes, Radiohead, Seal, or Death Cab snippetry

but under no condition, NO KILLERS

Seal's Crazy + Bullet =
Strokes's Last Nite + Electric Co =
and
This Fire + Vertigo =

coldplay suck, they seem intent on copying everything U2 related - its good to be original sometimes boys

Yeah, except they actually announced a tour.
