They've shown small clips of the video as adverts on Channel 4, and the premiere's on Wednesday night after Big Brother - is it just me, or does it look like The Scientist at night? You know it gets bad when they start ripping off their own videos...

I never ever want to see it, though i am sure as with all Coldplay it will be impossible to avoid. How do they get away with writing such appalling lyrics and still get taken seriously? Lights will guide you home And ignite your bones ......for goodness sake

I don't know, but I almost crashed the other day and I place the blame firmly at the feet of Chris Martin (and Jo Wiley). I switched the radio on just as I was pulling away, and this awful, cat-in-pain noise was coming from the radio. I managed to work out that it was quite probably the new Coldplay 'song', and was wondering why on earth no-one ever comments on Chris having less vocal talent than the YMCA girl. Then I realised that the one way street I was on had become a two-way street and there was a car coming towards me.
If I had crashed and I've lived to fill in the insurance claim I would have cited Coldplay as the guilty party.

Just seen it on the Coldplay website - he runs from London to Bolton pretty fast. They try and fool you that it's just a generic stadium, but you can clearly tell it's the Reebok Stadium.

It's on tonight? Wicked. I ADORE Fix You, possibly Coldplays best single yet, and it might JUST be that #1 they've missed so far.

If I had only ever heard "Yellow" and "Fix You" I may admit to really liking Coldplay.
The fact that they've released a whole load of crap in between has made me hate them.
They are rubbish. And yet this song is amazing. Damn.

hhmmm. It's tediously slow, but it's not bad. I think I didn't like it because people would sing it around me.
I do however, like to listen to the actual song very occasionally. And I'll skip the video if nobody minds too much, as it may or may not turn me suicidle - it is coldplay afterall.

I'm not a fan by any means, but The Scientist is gorgeous. This one's OK.

I love the video. The audience participation at the end is beautiful, and despite the fact VH2 were playing it NON STOP for an hour last night, I still love it.

Hmmm, shame the video's a bit dull, especially the first half. They shoulda made this huge epic sorta video to go with the huge sorta epicness of the song. I'm so glad it's being released though, 'Fix You' has been my favourite song for weeks.

Because thats a beautiful lyric not an appalling one?
The video is so so lovely. And not a Scientist rip off- that was more... original? Not that there's anything wrong with this, its still charming and engaging, not unlike the song. The audience singing the chorus is really really spine tingly.

Liking the song a bit more since Chris Martin admitted he got the organ bit off Muse.

I don't like the beginning...he doesn't open his mouth a lot, or strain to sing the high bits, making far too blatantly mimed. Why does he swing a lightbulb? Why can't the bassist be in more of it? He is extreme buffness.

They were playing the video on the screens in the CD:UK studio this morning, as it's being shown right at the end of the show, Kimberley from GA was smiling at me singing along to it...

I am not a fan of Coldplay and usually reach for the razor blades when they come on tv, as i did the night they sang Fix You on Johnathon Ross . The performance was dire imo
But i have listened to the video on tv ,and against my better judgement i like this one
I like it a lot
do you think i need help ?

I remember, having watched it this morning, that this song was played on the penultimate episode of the current series of The OC. It was perfect for the mood and made me want to cry.
I LOVE it.

The video is fairly boring and it doesn't hold my attention long enough to watch the whole thing. The song is nice, but Chris Martin's voice is awful, in my opinion.
Lovely in The OC though.

The song is apparently about Gwyneth's father dying.
I found it even more touching after hearing that.

Why can't the bassist be in more of it? He is extreme buffness. Oh yes. More of him, less of Chris "grr, stop taking my photo...oh, I've got a new album out, here's me, my Hollywood wife and our ridiculously-named daughter" Martin.

It's the way he says 'down' and 'home' and things like that. It's almost as if his voice is a bit Americanised. I don't like the stickers on his hand, either.

The most pointless band ever. 'Entertaining' the post 9/11 world with their bland platitudinous whines about how everything's a bit scary but you're yellow and I love you. Repeat. They've only got one song ffs and they repeat it ad infinitum. A piss-poor Radiohead; the sound of Jo Whiley having sex. I hate the grandiose intent they cultivate. What's the gimp doing in the video then? Running to the stadium to 'fix you' all?

There will be a difference of opinion, some will love it, some will hate it and some will sit painfully on a fence. I'm a lover. I accept that very few of Coldplay lyrics make sense, but it just works imo.
Btw, the light...ignite lyric is superb as I believe was debated above?
