Titolo: [COLDPLAY] Recensione NME dell'album Parachutes

It's all a question of what you want from your rock stars. The criticism
most often levelled at Coldplay (certainly round these parts) is that they
will never be the saviours of rock'n'roll. They will never cause front-page
tabloid sensation and they really like their parents. Frankly, they're more
likely to enjoy a nice cup of tea in front of the TV than throw it out the
window.
But, hang on. Weren't Oasis everything we could want from a rock band once?
They fought, had rock star girlfriends, slagged people off and wanted loads
of cash to blow on stupid houses. Fine, but those are exactly the things
that have made them an embarrassment; an endless, dull cocaine comedown.
Remember the disappointment you felt after 'Be Here Now'? Coldplay will
never let you down like that.
Like Travis before them, Coldplay care about what really counts.
'Parachutes' is all that matters in the world to singer Chris Martin. It
only takes one listen to realise how he has poured every thought, every
feeling he's had in the last two years into this record. With the focus so
much on Chris' voice here, it's like reading one long, intimate love letter.
 Indeed, for all Chris' perceived mildness, there's nothing half-hearted
about some moments here, moments which indicate there's more to him than
anyone knows. For a man in his early 20s, the mind boggles over the tragic
air of his love life; the number of feelings gone unrequited, the number of
loves pined for. The band's biggest hit so far, 'Shiver', is a heart-rending
case in point, its first line saying it all ("So I look in your direction,
but you pay me no attention"). It's powerful because its sentiment is so
simple. And, let's face it, so easy for everyone to comprehend.
Again, in the devotional 'Yellow' ("For you, I bleed myself dry", no less)
or the gorgeous regret of 'Trouble' ("I never meant to do you harm"), it's
the force of feeling which counts. That's what brings the entirely
favourable comparisons to Jeff Buckley, The Verve, even Radiohead. But it's
far gentler than anything the latter have ever done. Unlike Thom Yorke,
Chris exists in a place we can almost understand. A place that Fran Healy
might have passed through, but is too happy with his girlfriend to really
remember.
All told, it's incredible this is a debut album. Accomplished, yet subtle,
it works perfectly as a whole in a way all the production skills in the
world couldn't replicate. Forget trashing rooms and rent-a-quotes, just
listen. This really is all that matters.
Let it be that simple for once.
9/10

Eccolo qui,l'ho appena controllato e mi pare esatto:
Look at the stars look how they shine for you,
And everything you do,
Yeah they were all yellow.
I came along I wrote a song for you,
And all the things you do,
And it was called Yellow
So then I took my turn, oh what a thing to have done,
and it was all yellow
Your skin, oh yeah your skin and bones,
Turn into something beautiful
you know, you know I love you so
you know i love you so
I swam across, I jumped across for you
Oh what a thing to do
cos you were all yellow
I drew a line, I drew a line for you
Oh what a thing to do
And it was all yellow
your skin oh yeah your skin and bones
Turn into something beautiful
and you know for you I'd bleed myself dry
For you I'd bleed myself dry
It's true look how they shine for you
look how they shine for you
etc
Look at the stars
look how they shine for you
And all the things that you do

 Speriamo sia contenuto nel booklet del cd a questo punto :)
Ehmm....

testo......
;-)
Thanks,
Ary.

Ieri ho visto un video con un brano che mi ha colpito moltissimo: una
canzone semplicissima e accattivante cantata da un tipo svagato che
cammina su una spiaggia. Non ho fatto in tempo a vedere il nome del
gruppo.
Sono questi i ColdPlay?
Se č cosě cercherň anch'io il disco. :-)
