I remember reading an article a few months ago about Coldplay's next album, and Chris Martin said the band was working on what would be the "greatest song ever". Does anyone know what this song is or the name of it?

 

Thanks!

I never heard anything about "the greatest song ever", only "a song everyone should hear before they die", the popular guess is 42.

 

In a poll of artists Martin voted bittersweet symphony greatest song of all time.

^really what poll was that?

 

well i do remember him calling one song a quintisential song that we should all hear before we die, and i would assume its 42 because they have apparently been working on it for 5 years

ooh 5 years! that's interesting info thanks

five years? Wow, maybe it is 42 minutes long :cool:

haha perhaps

Thatd be sooo great!

Mabye its even 42 days long!

I dont know why but Ive always got this funny vibe from prospekt that Cemeteries of London will be something special. Maybe that one. I dunno.

I remember Chris saying both of those things, and I think he said it would be the first single, which is Voilet Hill, so maybe that's it.

well it had the one of the most popular and coolest sounding track titles when it came out, and some source said it was a possible first single.

I'm just confident that if it took the band three years to pump out a nine track album, the nine songs aren't going to be filler, but nine great songs. I view it more as an album that everyone should hear before they die.

It's Violet Hill, I read a review of the song and at the start, it said "Chris Martin described 'Violet Hill' as "A song everyone must hear before they die""

 

Can't wait for Violet Hill!!!!

 

I really can't believe it's only about 20 hours until we hear the song!!!

Where did you read that?

42 is the answer of the universe.

 

Yes, for those who doesnt know..

In the movie "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" the number 42 is "the answer to the Ultimate Question of Life, the Universe, and Everything".

Where did you read that?

 

It would of been through google, can't remember the exact site, sorry.

I still think it's 42
