He does seem to attract the literary types. LOL<br />@Twinkling Moon -- Thank you! I had noticed while reading the profiles of my Youtube subscriptions that a lot of them mentioned they like Coldplay. So there was no shortage of fanvids out there! I am glad I was introduced to a couple of songs I wasn't so familiar with before.Phylly3https://www.blogger.com/profile/10551254554577516351noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2201827858670905900.post-79464494647137058002010-06-27T22:29:44.288-05:002010-06-27T22:29:44.288-05:00Hey everyone!

It fits the lyrics perfectly.<br />I hadn't heard the song 42 before and I love this video too. It's such a great tribute to all those characters!<br />Glad you liked the "Life in Technicolor" video. It's one of the first fanvids (other than RA ones) that I favourited.<br />Note to anyone reading this, you can go straight to Youtube if you click on the Youtube symbol or the title of the video (within the screen). They are all better to watch if you maximize the screen and watch in the highest resolution.<br />If anyone has any other Coldplay videos they love, please mention them!Phylly3https://www.blogger.com/profile/10551254554577516351noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2201827858670905900.post-55614325955314707082010-06-19T17:05:29.402-05:002010-06-19T17:05:29.402-05:00Great post.

I love how videosbyloo starts w a shot from the end to the lyrics of the song and it makes sense, just fantastic! But my favorite is the one of RH to 42 by GiztheGunslinger Its epic because I did fall in love with the other characters too besides RA. The Technicolor vid is pure art. The link is actually easier for me as it opens op the YT app and I can save it or fave it which I can't do when embedded. I'll be checking those other vids too.Fanny/iz4bluehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08087468520544914913noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2201827858670905900.post-43771588577108484102010-06-19T08:01:17.666-05:002010-06-19T08:01:17.666-05:00Very nice!Very nice!Avalonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08722166722435492840noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2201827858670905900.post-29788869175669085122010-06-18T07:45:08.367-05:002010-06-18T07:45:08.367-05:00Yes, I love that video too, MG!

But I didn't want to repeat any of the songs and I also didn't have another North and South video. Videosbyloo's video just knocked my socks off right from the get go with the scene from the end of N&S where Margaret goes to Milton and we hear the Coldplay lines..."come up to meet you..." etc. It is soooo perfect. I love the thrumming music at the end where we see the train running and then Martin's Woo-hoooooo! as she gets off the train and sees Mr. Thornton. It is perfection, IMO. Thanks for mentioning the other one though, as I do like it very much!Phylly3https://www.blogger.com/profile/10551254554577516351noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2201827858670905900.post-56016666839962031802010-06-18T06:59:25.164-05:002010-06-18T06:59:25.164-05:00My favourite vid with Coldplay's music is Fix ...My favourite vid with Coldplay's music is Fix You. I find it a perfect blend of images, lyrics and pacing, but we know Heather is unbeatable in that.<br />I 've got another one which I like to watch, it's by Juliet D001. It's a B/W Lucas/Elizaveta video on the melancholic "The Scientist".

I had vaguely heard it before but never really sat and listened to it.<br />"Speed of Sound" is great and of course "Clocks", especially the instrumental part in the middle (sheer genius)-- unfortunately so many other people think so too, so it's been rather commercialized! I hadn't heard of "Talk" before.<br />Thanks for mentioning One Republic (I had a listen -- they are very good. I will have to look for more of their music!)<br />@Nat -- "Fix You" is marvelous! It has been used quite a few times by RA fanvidders. Heather's version is uniquely her own and I love it. But I also like a version done by Yorkshirewench using clips from The Golden Hour.<br />Here is a link to her webpage. This page is the one for the Golden Hour video. You can click on Vimeo to watch her videos. She has posted her password as "butterfly". <br />http://www.yorkshirewench.co.uk/golden.htmPhylly3https://www.blogger.com/profile/10551254554577516351noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2201827858670905900.post-73963434697990858792010-06-17T16:08:28.665-05:002010-06-17T16:08:28.665-05:00Oh, VIVA LA VIDA is my personal favourite from Col...Oh, VIVA LA VIDA is my personal favourite from Coldplay songs, and then CLOCKS, TALK and SPEED OF SOUND.

I also like Coldplay, so you can't go wrong with them + RA, right? :) My favorite RA/Coldplay video is probably Heathra's "Fix You" even though Lucas isn't my favorite RA character.

I agree that Jonas Armstrong did a fine job as Robin Hood, but very few actors could withstand RA's mojo especially when the writers were so willing to get on the Gisborne bandwagon. (And what a thrilling ride it was!) The whole series was such a departure from the traditional legend that I believe it has become somewhat legendary itself!<br />As for the Inspector Lynley series, I agree that the television show made the characters much more interesting than the books. If I remember right -- wasn't Havers supposedly to be rather big-boned and rough? Not like the delicate Sharon Small. I don't recall any romantic tension in the books!Phylly3https://www.blogger.com/profile/10551254554577516351noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2201827858670905900.post-2761517186810082152010-06-16T15:15:33.230-05:002010-06-16T15:15:33.230-05:00PS.

...PS. Posting again, because I like your blog, etc.<br /><br />Green Eyes was super, too. Major Sharon Smart fan here. Always felt Elizabeth George, in the books, stereotyped the Upper Class English characters, but caught Havers beautifully. And in the TV Lynley series, the actors were better characters than in the books. They were all immensely lifelike and believable. <br /><br />Which is not say that George is not a master of mystery. I look for every new publication!
