Every Teardrop Is A Waterfall

31 May 2011, 11:45 am

New single out this week

 

Dear friends

 

We're about to play a bunch of summer festivals so it's as good a time as any to put out a new song.

 

'Every Teardrop Is A Waterfall' will be available digitally on Friday 3rd June at 12pm (BST), except in the UK where it'll come out on the stroke of midnight between Saturday 4th and Sunday 5th June.

 

We'll also stream it here on Friday and give it a run out at Rock Im Park.

 

Love Will

 

 

 

I TURN THE MUSIC UP, I GOT MY RECORDS ON

I SHUT THE WORLD OUTSIDE UNTIL THE LIGHTS COME ON

MAYBE THE STREETS ALIGHT, MAYBE THE TREES ARE GONE

I FEEL MY HEART START BEATING TO MY FAVOURITE SONG

 

AND ALL THE KIDS THEY DANCE, ALL THE KIDS ALL NIGHT

UNTIL MONDAY MORNING FEELS ANOTHER LIFE

I TURN THE MUSIC UP

I'M ON A ROLL THIS TIME

AND HEAVEN IS IN SIGHT

 

I TURN THE MUSIC UP, I GOT MY RECORDS ON

FROM UNDERNEATH THE RUBBLE SING A REBEL SONG

DON'T WANT TO SEE ANOTHER GENERATION DROP

I'D RATHER BE A COMMA THAN A FULL STOP

 

MAYBE I'M IN THE BLACK, MAYBE I'M ON MY KNEES

MAYBE I'M IN THE GAP BETWEEN THE TWO TRAPEZES

BUT MY HEART IS BEATING AND MY PULSES START

CATHEDRALS IN MY HEART

 

AND WE SAW OH THIS LIGHT I SWEAR YOU, EMERGE BLINKING INTO

TO TELL ME IT'S ALRIGHT

AS WE SOAR WALLS, EVERY SIREN IS A SYMPHONY

AND EVERY TEAR'S A WATERFALL

IS A WATERFALL

OH

IS A WATERFALL

OH OH OH

IS A IS A WATERFALL

EVERY TEAR

IS A WATERFALL

OH OH OH

 

SO YOU CAN HURT, HURT ME BAD

BUT STILL I'LL RAISE THE FLAG

 

OH

IT WAS A WA WA WA WA WA-ATERFALL

A WA WA WA WA WA-ATERFALL

 

EVERY TEAR

EVERY TEAR

EVERY TEARDROP IS A WATERFALL

 

EVERY TEAR

EVERY TEAR

EVERY TEARDROP IS A WATERFALL

Some of the outfits look a bit ridiculous...

I disagree, i think these barely even look like "outfits" These are just different colored pants and jackets with patches on them. (and all of them have a (alien) radio patch as well.

Exactly. These are hardly considered "outfits". In my opinion, of course.

 

EDIT: I really like Jonny's clothes in the second picture.

I agree they're definitely sloppy and not very well constructed.

Noooooooo, they're just not going all out on their outfits this time.

Look, a thread about the new fashion! *hint* :)

new roadie!!!

#42 and the family and friends rehearsal

 

 

Back in 2002, I did my first ever day’s work for a band called Coldplay. They were doing Production Rehearsals at The Forum in Kentish town.

 

For those who have never been there, The Forum is a theatre sized rock venue, with a stage almost exactly the same size as the one in the Christmas Lights video. It also happens to be right next door to the Bull & Gate pub, where on their fourth ever show, Coldplay met up with a young sound-man called Dan Green who has been with them ever since. Dan has recently been co-producing their new album.

 

The Coldplay I met in 2002 were getting ready to do a run of festivals, including their first shot at headlining Glastonbury. They had a bunch of new songs, but nobody had heard them yet. They were nervous and excited. They were about to emerge from the studio and see whether the world shared their enthusiasm for this music they’d worked so hard on.

 

My role during those first days carried so little responsibility that I spent those four days of rehearsals almost entirely in the pub. Indeed the first time I met the band was when they were about to go onstage for their final run through before heading out on tour.

 

I nipped in the back door of the venue and into the tiny corridor that leads up onto the stage. I was hoping to sneak in unnoticed, as though I’d been there all day. When I opened the stage door, I bumped into the four friends in a team huddle before hitting that stage for one last run through before the festivals.

 

Today, almost ten years later and after weeks of rehearsal, we moved all the band’s gear once again into The Forum in Kentish Town, to do exactly the same again. One last run through before hitting the festivals. Today there was an invited audience of “Family and Friends” to give just enough pressure to make it real.

 

My role has changed greatly, to the point where the chances of getting a pint in amidst the chaos are now slim to none. The band have changed a great deal too - stronger, more experienced and confident, but still the same four (well, five) fellas.

 

But here they are again, standing in that very same little corridor, emerging from the studio and onto the live stage. About to start a new adventure. Nervous, excited and hoping that the world shares their enthusiasm for what they’ve created.

Thanks for posting it here! :)

And this:

I reckon they’ll be just fine…
