*Unpopular Opinion Warning*
Look, I am happy for Coldplay's success and everything but I feel like the band may be changing. I always saw Coldplay as being a big but humble band... Yes, sure Chris Martin is still the awkward yet cute dork he used to be all those years ago but I feel like Coldplay are becomming more mainstream than usual.
Rant #1: Chris Martin on The Voice? Their new Target deal? Advertisement in general? What?
Ugh, I don't like it. I remember reading somewhere about them turning down the offer to have their song 'Trouble' played on a Coca-Cola ad. Coca-Cola is a bigger business than Target as far as I'm concerned. Yes, I am aware that Target is more of an American based company but in my Irish eyes I see this as one of those 'exclusive at Tesco' kind of things. THIS IS NOT WHO COLDPLAY ARE! Am I disappointed? Yes, I suppose so but if they think they are making the right decisions then so be it.
Rant #2: The Lyric Hunt? In Ireland? WHAT?!
Okay, haha this is more of a personal rant. Some may be aware that Coldplay had a lyrics hunt in which 9 different hand-written (by Chris Martin himself) lyrical sheets and had been hidden in 9 different libraries ALL AROUND THE WORLD. Kind reminder that there is a hell of a lot of libraries on Earth. Coldplay's twitter had been awash in clues on finding these lyrics and of course I don't have twitter but some of the lyrics to their song 'Midnight' had been hidden. Want to guess which library they were hidden in? That's right, my local library. MY. LOCAL. LIBRARY. Am I annoyed? You can bet your bottom dollar I am.
I didn't find it of course, I found out about 3 days after the sheet had actually been found. I am happy for the finder but also INSANELY jealous. Nothing like this ever happens in Ireland, let alone in my local proximity. And nothing similar will happen again... *sigh*
