I might as well throw my hat in the tracklist ring The EL and MOTS leaks in particular can make really good albums. For EL, I call it “Everyday Nights” and used the demos, along with the alternate edits of TIT and EL to create a cohesive album. The tracklist I’ve made is:   EVERYDAY NIGHTS 1. Weirdo 2. Arabesque 3. Trouble In Town (Edit) 4. Broken 5. Love Is A Mighty River 6. Church 7. Orphans 8. Biutyful 9. Until The Water Flows Over 10. Famous Old Painters (EL) 11. Wedding Song 12. Everyday Story 13. Wedding Bells 14. Everyday Life (Single Version) 15. Arabesque (Alt Percussion Mix) [Bonus Track]   Genuinely, I think these songs stand really well on their own as their own cohesive piece, they’re just that good. Obviously TIT and EL are kind of optional and had been added before we got more stuff to fill it out, but I still like them in there as is. I also made a complete edition of MOTS using the demos too that has a whole story and concept to it I’ll post that later when I have time.

He mentioned it back in 2021. Seems they've been working on the musical tracks for a while. https://www.nme.com/news/music/chris-martin-teases-new-coldplay-track-weirdo-its-one-of-our-best-songs-3040816

Where did you hear Weirdo will be in the musical? Have they given any indication of what songs will be in it?

I don't want to sound rude. Maybe it's just that I have a different view of what a filler song is, but I think it's unfair to say that Everyday Life has a lot of filler songs. Arguably the only filler on the album is WOTW/POTP, for obvious reasons. There might be songs that are short, or instrumental, or you may not find them interesting, but to suggest that they haven't put effort into making them it's too much...Still, I agree with those of you who think that some of the discarded songs are better than some of the material on the album. The demos are absolutely beautiful.

So I’ve tried making my own “Coldplay era” based on the songs that were leaked. There is an album called “On The Path Of Totality” (which those of you who witnessed the recent solar eclipse would know what this is referencing). It has 15 tracks. 5 are more bright/colorful in nature, with themes of being young and in love  (representing the sun), 5 tracks are darker in nature, with themes of love lost, death and war (representing the moon), and 5 more are bright/hopeful with themes of love again, but also gratefulness and strength (again representing the sun). The overall message is that pain and darkness are temporary and that what is light and love will prevail. There is also an EP called “Eclipse of the Neon Moons” and a couple of B-sides. Here’s my first shot at building a tracklist: “Sun” 1. Aeterna 2. The Astronaut  3. Lethal Drug (feat. SZA) (every recent Coldplay album has to have a collaboration of some sort lol) 4. UFO II 5. Tomorrow “Moon” 6. Broken 7. Olive Tree (shorter edited version that ends after aaaaarabesque)  8. Everyday Story 9. Wedding Song 10. The Race (GS)/Earthling (Chris’ voice version) “Sun II” 11. Famous Old Painters (Viva)  12. Life In A Day 13. Blessed 14. The Only One (Moses Mix) 15. Wedding Bells (EL)   B sides: 1. Robots  2. Vitamins    Eclipse of the Neon Moons EP: 1. The Race (Whatever It Takes version) 2. Famous Old Painters (EL) 3. Royalty 4. Weirdo 5. A Wave    Anyways, let me know what y’all think of this tracklist order (maybe some changes to be made?). It’s a work in progress 🙂
