hey it's two bands that sound the same

one came before the other, for what it's worth.

coldplay feat. richard ashcroft - bittersweet symphony (live @ live 8): what a wonderful song. i absolutely love the song 'bittersweet symphony' - it might be one of my three or four favorite sunday afternoon songs - it's just perfect for relaxing and enjoying a day off (well, i usually work sundays, but you understand my point.) (for what it's worth, my other favorites are spoon's 'everything hits at once', was not was' 'what up dog?' (the single not the album), and more recently kasabian's 'lsf'.) anyhow, i love this live version. i have posted this back when live 8 happened, but this song was just so super i wanted to share it all over again with you crazy kids. i love me some live music. now, that said....

snow patrol - run (live): here's another great live song. in one of the live songs i have by snow patrol they say that they don't know how it will all turn out considering they never play acoustic sets. well, as you can see for yourselves, it's quite good. quite damn good. 'run' is a really great song in the first part, but this version has something else special to it. i don't know what it is, but i think it's his voice. yes, that sounds horribly horribly lame, but whatever. judge me, go ahead.
