Talk, Pt. 1

The First Single of a Three Part Single Set. "Talk" is One of the Stand Out Tracks on Coldplay's Multi-platinum Third Album, "x&y", Q Magazine's #1 Album of the Year 2005. The Title Track's Melody is Built from Portion of Kraftwerk's "Computer Love" and it is Coupled with Two Exclusive Songs Recorded at the Band's 2005 Appearance at the Gelredome in Arnhem, Nederlands: "Swallowed in the Sea" and "God Put a Smile on Your Face".
Customer Review: Um...
Well, I came in here to talk GOOD about Talk because it's a very solid track. However, then after clicking on the "Talk Pt. 1" cover art, I saw Swallowed By The Sea which is my second least favorite track and went, "Ugh." Finally, I saw God Put A Smile On Your Face and thought, "Meh." It was OK, but nothing great. Still better than SBTS though. So, *Sigh*, here goes: Talk --- 4 stars. Swallowed By The Sea --- 3 stars. Something about it irks at my deepest chord. God Put A Smile Upon Your Face --- 3.5 stars. Cover Art: C- (It looks sloppy, lop-sided and tacked on and tacky compared to the odd, yet appropriate U.S. album cover art.) Inside Art: ? Songwriting: C+ Vocals: C+ Vocal Emotion: B+ Vocal Acrobatics: F+ Length: A 10.5/3 = 3.5 3.5 stars. Overall: C
Customer Review: Disc 1 of a 3-disc set, also includes the 3-disc packaging
Talk, Pt. 1, an import from Holland on the Parlophone label, includes the first of three CD singles and a nice tri-fold digipak where you can put Talk, Pt. 2 and Talk, Pt. 3. As others have said, this is the first disc only. Getting the remaining discs depends largely on your desire to be a completionist, or for your interest in live tracks. The breakdown of the three discs is as follows: Part 1: (Amazon AISN B000CNGG9Y) 1. Talk (Radio Edit) 2. Swallowed in the Sea (Live in Holland) 3. God Put A Smile Upon You Face (Live in Holland) Part 2: (Amazon AISN B000CNGGA8) 1. Talk (Album Version) 2. Square One (Live in Holland) 3. Clocks (Live in Holland) Part 3: (Amazon AISN B000CNGGAI) 1. Talk (Live in Holland) 2. Til Kingdom Come (Live in Holland) 3. Fix You (Live in Holland) Part 1 only warrants a three-star rating from me because it includes the Radio Edit of Talk. But the live tracks are good. Part 2 goes up to four stars because it includes the album version of Talk, and an excellent live rendition of Square One from X&Y. Part 3 also warrants four stars for the live tracks from X&Y, great performances all. Note that these discs have WMA copy protection. If you would like to extract tracks for your MP3 player or iPod, you will need to use a Mac to do so. By the way, parts 2 and 3 come in shrinkwrapped sleeves. This is one more reason to get part 1 and the nice tri-fold digipak.


Intellectual giftedness is an intellectual ability significantly higher than average.

A skill is the learned capacity or talent to carry out pre-determined results often with the minimum outlay of time, energy, or both.

A marked ability or skill. The potential or factual ability to perform a skill better than most people.

A Talent is the natural ability to do a thing. Whether it be Write, Sing, Sports or Invent or Create. A Talent can not be taught or learned it is a Natural thing inside of a person. You can add to or build up a Talent to make it better useful and you can also lose a Talent by letting it sit dormant for a period of time. For example, if a singer doesn't sing for awhile, they lose that ability to hit the high or low notes. If a sports player is injured and has to be out for a season or two, they must reestablish him or her self. To gain full potential from a Talent, one must practice it everyday.

Example:

When I was 3 years old, I had a two year old brother and a 4 year old brother. My dad had bought a guitar and began to learn how to play it. Dad began to teach us to sing Gospel Music. But it just came Natural to us. We could hear a song just one time and we could sing it all the way through. Less than a year after we started singing we were getting invited to come visit and sing at other churches. Soon after that we were singing at the radio station. People loved to hear us sing Southern Gospel Music. As time went on, we added more places to go to and sing. More family members, and even sang at 2 different TV Stations a few times. We even sang for the City of Kings Mountain and was picked up to go to the event and brought home in a police car. That was exciting. My family had the Talent to sing and make music. We have sang in almost every church in North and South Carolina.

A Talent is born within a person. Not everyone has a Talent. Can you run faster than anyone in the neighborhood? Can you jump higher than anyone? Can you just pick up any type instrument and fool around with it a few minutes and then play a song? Can you just fix things? Then you have a Talent.

A Talent can save you money. A Talent can make you money. A Talent can be hard work. A talent can be fun. A talent can do amazing things. If and when you find out what type Talent you have and build on it and grow it. It can and most times is a life changing experience.

Michael Wood is the Author of many Southern Gospel Music Songs as well as a few Country Music Songs.
My Family and I have been in and around music for some 51 years. 14 of those years we toured all over North and South Carolina. Singing in countless Churches, Radio Stations, and 2 different TV Stations.
Unable to carry the high note for the distance I once did. Due to physical disabilities. I now write. You can listen to several samples and even purchase a CD online at:
