    I’ve been watching some videos of Coldplay like this small interviews, oh I can’t stop smiling, my muscles hurt haha... he’s just an amazing humble artist that truly conveys a feeling a meaning. It’s wonderful, I remember the first time I saw them live, I couldn’t stop crying. (Before that I used to think "why do people cry when they listen to a band they love live?’... well, I wouldn’t know how to explain that, Coldplay is an energy of joy). Also, I’ve noticed that Chris always talks about "connecting with the audience" and that, I would say, is the seal of the band.

    Seriously tho, I think that Coldplay are way too hard on themselves. I agree that they were getting a bit too comfortable and "Viva" was much needed and appreciated :), but that doesn't mean most of their old songs were rather rubbish as Chris seems to be alluding here.
