Talk:Fix You/Archive 1

Right...
"Though many people believe 'Fix You' was about Gwyneth Paltrow, the song was actually written by Martin after he took his dog to the vet to have it fixed."

I don't think that this is factual or appropriate for WikipediaVerdad 21:47, 2 December 2006 (UTC)

"When writing the song, Chris Martin was influenced by church organs used by Muse on their last album, Absolution."

Absolution doesn't use any church organs. In total, Muse have used a church organ once, and that was on the album Origin of Symmetry. I'm not entirely sure what should be done here because no source has been provided. --Takkaria

Well then, it's Origin of Symmetry. Regardless, Chris Martin referenced Muse in that link provided in the article. --Madchester 21:00, July 20, 2005 (UTC)

I apologise if I'm just being dense, but I can't find any reference to Muse in any of the externally linked articles. --Takkaria, 09:38, July 23, 2005 (+0100)

In the article, it's the box with the #4. Click on the soundbyte for "Fix You". --Madchester 14:26, July 23, 2005 (UTC)

Megalomania or Grace Under Pressure?
While both have been referrenced by the press, I'm inclined to think that it's the Muse influence that is more prevalent in the song. Martin actually said it in his on words in a radio interview, whereas the Elbow reference is some generic quote distributed thru the press wire.

Because in all honnesty, it can't be a "copy" of one song, yet be inspired by the organs of another. One of the sources is spewing BS, and I think it's the Elbow claim. --Madchester 16:41, July 24, 2005 (UTC)

Billboard debut
"The song debuted on the US Billboard Modern Rock Tracks chart on August 28, 2005. It reached #38 on the chart."

There's a mistake in the date, unless we're living in the future. :) --Mairene 01:41, 21 August 2005 (UTC)


 * Billboaord publishes its charts online several days before their issue date. See .  Acegikmo1 04:39, 21 August 2005 (UTC)

Pour Me/Poor Me
Is the track on one single 'Pour Me' and on another 'Poor Me', or is this just a mistake? Seems like a mistake, but I know no better.

Same song, different title. Depends on the type and location of the release... Same deal with "The World Turned" and "The World Turned Upside Down". Band management haven't admitted whether this was intentional or an overlooked spelling mistake. --Madchester 15:20, September 6, 2005 (UTC)

Actually, that's not right. I bought the Australian CD today (even says "Made in Australia" on it), and the tracks are not "The World Turned" and "Poor Me", but rather "The World Turned Upside Down" and "Pour Me". Ianiceboy 11:54, 16 September 2005 (UTC)
 * I was browsing eBay 2 or 3 weeks ago, and I remember seeing photos of the Australian CD with "Poor Me" and "The World Turned" printed on its track listing. It may have been an early printing mistake or something, I have no idea but EMI Germany also had those titles for the B-sides.  This whole "Poor Me/Pour Me" business makes me think about how some typo changed Monkey Kong into Donkey Kong. --Madchester 05:12, 20 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Actually, that's an Urban myth.
 * That's Donkey Kong which is a completely different matter. The songs were listed as The World Turned Upside Down and Poor Me during the 2003 AROBTTH tour. --Madchester 22:10, 4 February 2006 (UTC)
 * I was referring to "This whole "Poor Me/Pour Me" business makes me think about how some typo changed Monkey Kong into Donkey Kong. " :)

Amazing
This song is absolutely amazing! One of the best songs I have ever heard by a completely awesome band. The entire album is pretty amazing.
