Okay, I'm clearly months behind the news with this comment, but hearing it on the radio this week, the Coldplay song 'Life in Technicolor II' is just plain weird. Firstly, for those of you who don't know, it comes from the first track of Viva la Vida: Death and All His Friends. Which in itself is decent. But this track is a superb instrumental introduction. Now they've gone and messed about with it and added unnecessary lyrics, and it just sounds wrong compared to the simplicity of the original.
It annoys me, anyway.
As an amusing tangent, while looking for a bit more detail on this I did come across a top class rant for the Killers' absurd lyrics in Spaceman; this is not a shock to everyone, considering they have the stupidest lyrics I've ever heard from a band. But it was a geographers' rant about how if they'd wanted to find a river for their song that used to flow from east to west but now doesn't, why not pick that fairly well known river the Amazon, that actually did? Cracking stuff, anyway.
