True or False? Coldplay covers are often better than Coldplay themselves.
*Note: You are not my friend if you said “False”
Don’t get me wrong, I like Coldplay. Well, sorta. Kinda. Maybe not.They stay in that middle ground of where I’ll listen to them if they’re on the radio only if all the other stations are playing Nickleback. They’re just a band that I don’t really hate, but don’t really like either. I think the lyrics are emotional, but they don’t translate well when preformed. It’s like. . . all the components of a great song being there, but everything sounds so dead when Chris Martin whines it out. Dead emotion? At least, that’s how I see Coldplay.
Violet Hill is the only song from Coldplay that I really like. It might be because it sounds nothing like their regular stuff. Pendulum does a kick ass job at covering that song. I wouldn’t say that it is better than the original, but it provides a good alternative. When the original isn’t angry enough, I’ll listen to Pendulum’s version of it, and vice versa for when I’m sad.
It’s like . . . two different versions of the song for two very different moods. The original, for when you feel like indulging in your misery, and the other for when you’re just bitter, upset, and confused. Maybe one leads into the other :B
So if you loved me, won’t you let me know?
