They're back!

Já vou na 5ª audição. Não é fácil entranhar o single. Não é tão óbvio como "Yellow" ou "In my place" que entraram facilmente no ouvido, mas parece-me melhorzito que "Square One". Nota-se que mantiveram a opção por (primeiro) single elaborado, iniciada com X&Y, que puxam por várias audições até nos rendermos, ou então detestarmos irreversivelmente. Em todo o caso, uma música a puxar para Oasis, Kaiser Chiefs, enfim, britpop ao melhor estilo que os Coldplay sabem executar como ninguém.



P.S: O youtube anda a retirar os vídeos todos. Estes foram postos há pouquíssimas horas, mas com paciência acabei por descobrir este. Se amanhã já não conseguirem ver, lamento. Em todo o caso, fica a letra.

VIOLET HILL

Was a long and dark December
From the rooftops I remember
There was snow, white snow
Clearly I remember from the window
They were watching while we froze
Down below

When the future's architectured
By a carnival of idiots on show
You better lie low
If you love me, won't you let me know

Was a long and dark December
When the banks became cathedrals
And the fog became God
Priests clutched onto bibles
I went out to fit their rifles
And the cross was held aloft
Bury me in honor/armor
When I'm dead and hit the ground
Legs are cold, unfolds
And If you love me, won't you let me know

[Guitar solo]

I don't wanna be a soldier
With a captain of some sinking ship
With snow
Far below
So, if you love me, why'd you let me go

I took my love down to Violet Hill
There we sat in snow
All that time she was silent still
So, if you love me, won't you let me know
If you love me won't you let me know
