The remix of Coldplay's "Talk" that appears on +Thrivemix, Vol. 2+ and the track "Animal Attraction" (from She Wants Revenge's EP +Up and Down+) are two of the most you-can't-fight-it-so-shake-it-till-you-can't-shake-it-no-more dance songs you will ever hear. And since it's been too cold to go out (and I don't really go to clubs these days when I go out anyway) I've been exercising inside to them...even better, songs like these make cleaning much much more interesting...
"Talk" as it appears on +X & Y+ is radically different...with the remix you'll find lots of synth and drum machines, but it is so hypnotic and chill that you feel pretty dazed during the whole thing...still, it's so great to dance to.
Hearing the original version reminded me that Coldplay did so much before +Viva La Vida+...one of the most haunting and beautiful of their earlier songs (just my two cents, of course!) is "Trouble." When I first heard it back in 2003 it stayed with me for days afterward...perhaps because it hits so close to anyone who has ever done something they regret with all their heart...
