that cover is awesome...I used to like AROBTTH then I quickly got sick of it and felt a bit dirty for still feeling sooky about The Scientist...but now I've got this version I can listen to it without feeling Coldplay guilt ;-)

I still really like parachutes btw. but since then :-/

Do you have much Aimee Mann? If not, you should get some, she's bloody good. This is a great cover, and instead pretentious piano playing like Chris Martin's, you have Aimee Mann's nice smooth piano playing, no bashing of the keys in this song.

I haven't listened to Parachutes in god knows how long. I downloaded X&Y and damn am I glad I didn't spend the money on it, it's an awfully bland album.

I'm not that familiar with Aimee Mann - I don't really like female singers - my bad.

Listen to parachutes again - you might be surprised at how good they once were. Heard Fix You in a store earlier and it continues to shock me how people can find it beautiful - the vocals are horredous warbling.

Incidentally coldplay were once were the support act for a gomez gig, back in the day before gomez were nobody and coldplay were somebody.

Ahhh! Terrible. Aimee Mann is somebody you might like if you gave her a chance. She's really quite damn good - I might be a little bias here though since I've been obsessed with her for a good seven years or so now. But, seriously though, she's got some great music.

It's very disturbing what some people nowadays think is great music. And to think that Jet gets touted as being the best band in Australia is quite disturbing as well.

Hah, that's amusing. I went and saw Coldplay on their Parachutes tour when that came out, and fortunately it was sans piano for some reason. It was ok, but much like The Shins, it just sounded like the album.
