twistedleksi2008 Posted April 10, 2008 Share Posted April 10, 2008 Ever since news of this new album, it seems coldplay have become obsessed with this number. - a track they named, which is supposedly their favourite, is '42' - they included the number on their charity plate - if there ARE nine tracks on Viva la Vida or Death and All His Friends, the total number of tracks included on the four albums will be 42. (Parachutes: 10; AROBTTH: 11; X&Y: 12 (excluding Til Kingdom Come); VLVODAAHF: 9) Anyone else notice it? Or come across any other uses of the number?

PianoRocker Posted April 10, 2008 Share Posted April 10, 2008 Maybe there will be 42 tracks on VLVODAAHF. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never realized that they added up to 42, guess there's a good chance that 42 might be the last track on the album. It's also supposed that there were 42 songs that didn't make the cut for X&Y...or something like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ricardo Posted April 11, 2008 Share Posted April 11, 2008 I think it's chris lucky number, if you think you need more information here you go: <the number 42 is The Answer to the Ultimate Question of Life, the Universe, and Everything < 42 is the natural number following 41 and preceding 43. < The atomic number of molybdenum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chuck kottke Posted April 11, 2008 Share Posted April 11, 2008 The atomic number of Molybdenum - who would have ever though it! Hmm! Funny, I've got a piece of Molybdenite over on the shelf... from an old mine near here. Odd coincidences! 42 - it has a nice ring to it, and looks easily divisible..

rayman Posted April 11, 2008 Share Posted April 11, 2008 I'm enough of a geek that whenever I see an athlete wearing 42, I giggle a little. ...even Jackie Robinson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twistedleksi2008 Posted April 11, 2008 Author Share Posted April 11, 2008 I was wrong.. But this morning's news about Viva la Vida's tracklist has proved me wrong haha There's ten tracks oh well! But yeah I've heard about 42 songs being trashed from X&Y... they must have been so ruthless! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rudy_o Posted April 11, 2008 Share Posted April 11, 2008 Or they will split after 42 years....??? :stunned: Oh how does chris looks like when he's 72 years old...?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BethWhalley Posted May 1, 2008 Share Posted May 1, 2008 42 is the last number in the sequence of "cursed" numbers in Lost :) There is also a song called Lost! Perhaps Chris is a secret Lost fan... I live in hope :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mirmir Posted May 2, 2008 Share Posted May 2, 2008 This is getting even more weird.. Chris was born in March 2nd in year 1977. He and Gwyneth got married in December 5th 2003. If you add these numers up, guess what is the result? Chris b-day:2+3+1+9+7+7 = 29 C&G wedding day: 5+1+2+2+0+0+3=13 THE RESULT: 13+29=42 Spooky......:o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Viva La Violet Hill Posted May 2, 2008 Share Posted May 2, 2008 This is getting even more weird.. Chris was born in March 2nd in year 1977. He and Gwyneth got married in December 5th 2003.

I once read a site that made the case that George W. Bush is the antichrist because the letters of his name in Hebrew added up to 666 or something of the sort. Maybe when we hear the song 42 it will clear up some of the mystery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kspillers2 Posted May 4, 2008 Share Posted May 4, 2008 I win the co-inkydink prize! On June 17th ( the day the album comes out) I turn 42....and I didn't realize it till I read THIS post. No lie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TraceOddity Posted May 4, 2008 Share Posted May 4, 2008 42 is a 3-part song, apparently, and the 3 parts COULD be Life, The Universe and Everything (as was pointed out in the hitch-hiker's reference.) Also, just to be silly, I'm a HUGE X Files fan, and I heard a rumour_just a rumour_that Coldplay might have a song on the X Files movie soundtrack. And do you know what Mulder's apartment number was on the series??? -42! There's even a member of the XFU site with the username 'dntpanic42'. No real surprise since Don't Panic is also a hitch-hikers reference...so the obsession isn't even new for the boys. Apparently Chris is a Douglas Adams fan?
