Obviously this video is 10 months old at this point, but I’d be interested to hear your thoughts about Moon Music now that it’s out.
I think I agree with a lot of your opinions and I personally think it’s much better than MOTS

39:36 to be fair Sufjan basically did that himself with the Carrie & Lowell live version ending with Hotline Bling

I wish you released this now and discussed the Moon Music album more in-depth! 😮 I think you would have a great perspective on it

I'm really bummed that you missed the point of Hymn for the Weekend. The first verse says "life is a drink and love's a drug," and then the rest of the song talks about being drunk and high. They're drunk on life and high on love.
As far as Music of the Spheres, I figure it's actually an incredibly logical progression from where they were in Everyday Life. Everyday Life was their musical journey around the world and what they learned on that trip. Music of the Spheres pushes the message of connection and love that they saw as clearly needed in the world that they traveled.

Hmm, I'm wondering what other band originally started as alternative rock; with the more colorful the album cover, the poppier the sound; whose also been lambasted as one of the most insufferable bands of the 21st century; and whose main export has been the live shows and tours; and announced a break from touring in 2020; and released a double album within the past 5 years; and–

From day one I've always heard the chorus of paradise as "para para paroodise". Always sounded like an oo sound

Fix you is a really important song for me and I feel like you took the lyrics in a very literal way. Everyone is entitled to their opinion I guess

I took a girlfriend to see Coldplay on their X&Y tour, and after the show, as everyone was trying to exit the parking lot (which took about 45 minutes) these girls in the car behind us BLASTED "Fix You" at top volume, screaming along to every line, over and over again on a loop. I must've heard that song 15 times before we got onto the road. I HAAAAAAAAATE "Fix You."

X&Y was a surprise purchase by me as a kid at a Rite-Aid (yes, they actually sold music CDs at some point). I just felt like getting it because the cover was cool and mysterious. Let's just say that Coldplay introduced me to the joy of listening to an album front and back. I would then buy Dark Side of the Moon and that's how my music tastes finally began to develop outside of the radio stations you'd hear on Vice City.

27:16 Makes an interesting companion to Enjoy the Silence's video, at least I thought the painting was a folding chair.

Parachutes is literally the best album of all time. No skips seriously.

Man this guy is leaving out soooo many great songs like white shadows, hypnotised, don’t let it break your heart, and more. Dont listen to him

Is it just me or do I think A Sky Full of Stars fits perfectly on Ghost Stories? Idk why but I just feel like it's the narrator's acceptance that the relationship is over.

The first 3 albums were good but after the 4th album. Now are so bland and dull and poppy too.

You know what I’m just going to say this as a Musician and Musical Theory Professor.
Coldplay is my favorite band. It’s not even close. I love the Beatles,The Velvet Underground,OutKast,Wu Tang, Tribe Called Quest, Frank Sinatra,Nirvana, Korn,John Hopper, Queen, Super Tramp,ELO, That’s not even going into Classical,Spanish Guitar, Skinshape….its not even scratching the surface.
Coldplay spans Decades and millennia.
Coldplay is the best for one reason and one reason only. General Relativity 😊
Their music is general. Meaning it reaches the general public.
We all know ART is abstract.
In the Abstract we find meaning.
Coldplays ability to not only command commercial success in our objective reality due to their General popularity is incredibly immense.
When you appeal generally to a Global audience. They are then allowed to listen to your ART in the abstract and draw meaning for themselves.
The only other artists that could do this are long gone and do not have the longevity.
They are not a generational talent. They are a multicultural and multigenerational talent.
Nothing like them has ever existed as far as we know.
The closest you get is The Beatles, Elvis, Madonna and Michael Jackson.
However….theyve been around much much longer. Their message is transcendental and they actually make incredibly good music.
In fact the songs of theirs I don’t like which for some reason everyone else likes would be successful from the 70’s on up.
Simplicity is the key. Most people don’t want to just hear good music. They want to hear good music they can relate to their own lives.
Generalists. This is why they are the best.
They appeal to everyone even if you don’t like something they produce…somebody somewhere else does.
So in summation being generalist in an art form requires you to understand that things will be interpreted in the abstract. The more souls you can reach the more can pull from the abstract therefore completing the cycle.
Coldplay isn’t for you you selfish fucks!!!
Coldplay is for everyone!!

They certainly WERE. Albums 1-4&6 are brilliant.
