Guys, hear me out: I listen to 99% of all Music on Amazon Alexa, so I'm always like, "Alexa, Play Viva La Vida," and once, it said, "Here's Viva La Vida, Live in Buenos Aires, by Coldplay, on Amazon Music," and I listened, and I liked it more. Something about the Way Chris sings and the people screaming- it just hits harder. I tried this with all the big songs, and the same result. Am I just wrong? Or is it a good Opinion?

Chris obviously gets the most attention as the frontman, and Guy and Will have their moments, but I feel like Jonny's contribution to Coldplay's sound is sometimes overlooked.

His guitar work, riffs, melodies and especially the atmospheric parts are SUCH a huge part of what makes Coldplay sound like Coldplay.

Guy Also stands out as the only member of Coldplay who maintains a personal, active social media presence.

Will Is Such a meme.

I don't need to explain Chris.

But Jonny. What does he have?

Anyone else feel the same, or am I completely wrong?

Personally, this has to be my FAVORITE collab that they have EVER done.

This is LTERALLY the Question.

I remember there was this one line in ETIAW that went like Maybe I'm in the gap between the two trapezes That I thought was "I'm between the gap of my two front teeth" LOL

I really like the song; It is an absolute masterpiece (although what does the name have to do with the actual song?)

Like, is a Landspout just Weaker?

Technoblade: Walks into a library.
Librarian: "Can I help you find something?"
Technoblade: "Yeah. Where's the fantasy section?"
Librarian: "Looking for dragons?"
Technoblade: "No, the books with the most orphans."

Alright, so I’ve been hearing people on here talk about "Coldplay lore" for a while now, and I am completely lost. I always thought they were just a regular pop-rock band that made giant stadium anthems, but apparently, there’s an actual cinematic universe going on here?

I decided to look into it a bit because I was curious, and now I just have way more questions than when I started. Like, what is the actual lore behind all of their songs?

Take an album like Mylo Xyloto. That’s a really odd name choice, by the way. Just the title alone makes it feel like it points to a much bigger picture or some hidden concept. I read somewhere that it’s supposed to tell a literal, linear story. If that’s true, what is actually happening in that album? And what do tracks like "Charlie Brown" mean in the grand scheme of things? (Also, does older stuff like "God Put a Smile upon Your Face" tie into this, or is that completely separate?)

Then you look at their newer stuff like Music of the Spheres or Moon Music, and they are out here creating literal alien alphabets and singing next to space puppets on stage.

Is every single album connected in one giant timeline, or are they just random, separate sci-fi stories they felt like making up? I honestly have no idea where to even start with this. Can someone please break down the entire overarching storyline for a complete beginner? Treat me like I know absolutely nothing because I don't lol.
