I guess on the new ipod commercial they have those songs on there, and I was thinking, "Wow, this band sounds way too much like Coldplay," and what do you know? It was Coldplay. Of course, I was liking the song, it's just funny with all this talk about Coldplay ripping off Joe Satriani.

post-dumps abstractly represent the existential nihilism that the song invokes in the listener with negative space, evoking the ephemeral nature of the mind - the journey of stepmania begins in hope yet soon becomes corroded into a dialectic of futility, leaving only a sense of dread and the unlikelihood of a new synthesis
I absolutely love Coldplay, but even if their messages are down to Earth and touching in Viva La Vida, the melodies have disappointed me so far.
I have yet to buy the album though, and I'm definitely looking forward to it.
Maybe I just missed the really good songs, since every album so far has had 2 or 3 really beautiful and heartfelt songs.

hey guys
if i take this one song and slow it down and change the pitch and alter a few other things it sounds kinda like this other song
ripoff!
I wrote somewhere that when I first heard Viva la Vida, it sounded like a song I had heard before. And since I never heard of Joe Satriani before, it couldn't have been him.
You know what it sounds like? It sounds like Coldplay. Mash up Clocks with this song.
Also, you can't prove that they copied another band. It's entirely possible for someone to come up with something they think is unique only to realize someone else has already done it. And with literally billions of songs in our world now, you'd think it would be obvious this would happen.
Here's what you take away from all this: It's still a good song regardless.
