Yesterday a couple of my girlfriends and I went to see Coldplay in action at Earls Court. They were brilliant! If you have heard people fussed about how brilliant they are playing live then I kid you not, they are brilliant!The live show was absolutely superb. Chris Martin in his own sort of way is a hottie! That energy - bouncing of the wall on the stage pumping full of adenaline, is a spectacle in itself??? Anyway, a thoroughly enjoyable evening except for a few minor incidents committed by some thoughtless, iresponsible being!
I do wonder what kind of world are we living in today? There are certainly very few respects and good behaviour going to other fellow human being. Whilst standing in that crowded arena waiting for Chris & Co to grace the stage with the people around me either swaying to the deafening music blaring out of the Tannoy or talking (or shouting perhaps?) to the person standing next to them, came this huge push from behind almost knocking me off my feet and those people around me! No apologies,no nothing but keep on pushing under the guise of blind drunkenness. As I am having none of this pushing and shoving business, at the top of my lungs I shouted "where the hell are you going?" And this woman, again without any apology plainly answered "I dont know". Of course she bloody well does know cos the person that was actually pushing is her ugly, fat bastard of a boyfriend! I appreciate the fact that at a concert some form of pushing and shoving does happen but not the blatant rudeness that this couple endeavoured! I was completely knocked out of my fairly reasonable patience. Had the concert did not sart when it did - I would have happily walked away. There are just some things that are not worth the aggravation and this being one of it! I learnt my lesson though - I have to admit that it has come to that stage in my life that standing for hours on end just to watch your favourite band play is no longer something that I can embrace with gusto! When the concert ends, I honestly can say that I can no longer feel my feet (and I was wearing my comfortable boots!! Imagine standing in my killer heels???) and boy was I glad that people surrounding me are slowly walking away towards the exit. A surge of relief literally swept all over me and I thought to myself, another minute of this, I'd definitely collapsed in a heap at my feet! Definitely too old for this kinda thing anymore. Been there, done that and got the T-shirt! From now on I will just stick to those seated gigs - like the Simply Red gig in Royal Albert Hall back in October. I was definitely in my element there... as for this hugely crowded and highly cramped rock concerts, I have to admit defeat and hang my boots out to dry! Will leave these ones for the youngsters!
Despite all this whingeing and moaning - Coldplay is definitely one of the best bands around this century and if you get a chance to see them in action, I promise that it'll be awesome!
When you try your best but you don't succeed
When you get what you want but not what you need
When you feel so tired but you can't sleep
Stuck in reverse
When the tears come streaming down your face
When you lose something you can't replace
When you love someone but it goes to waste
could it be worse?
Lights will guide you home
and ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you
High up above or down below
when you too in love to let it go
If you never try you'll never know
Just what your worth
Lights will guide you home
and ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you
Tears stream down your face
When you lose something you cannot replace
Tears streaming down your face and I
Tears stream down your face
I promise you I will learn from my mistakes
Tears stream down your face and I
Lights will guide you home
And ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you
