Bonus_mosher Posted June 3, 2008 Share Posted June 3, 2008 I don't think they should release ANY singles. like chris says, once you think about a song as a single it changes your perception of the song. I love "Lovers in Japan" - but will I love it as much if it gets overplayed in the media? I'm scared :cry: :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm scared :cry: :P I completely agree about a song getting overplayed, my main reason for disliking In My Place. But short of doing a Kid A and not releasing any singles, Coldplay have to keep up the hype around this album as long as they can, its more money for the band and the record label. I'm not saying money is the only reason for doing anything, but it sure helps in life :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
footyfan10 Posted June 3, 2008 Share Posted June 3, 2008 actually thats completely true i never got a chance to like clocks because it was always on the radio, it was until i heard the scientist that i was drawn in but that being said, the fact that somethings a single doesnt mean it should change it entirely for the fan base, i mean, i dont listen to the radio religiously so it won't affect me that much but a song like talk was more interesting to me before it became a single, but time usually heals these things, and in a few years we'll rediscover the greatness of these songs...which is usually what happens to me when i get bored of a song Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jpw48 Posted June 3, 2008 Share Posted June 3, 2008 Clocks as well yeah! The overplaying of those two tracks actually Ruined Rush Of Blood for me :( Given the choice, I'll listen to Parachutes, then X&Y followed by AROBTTH if i'm desperate :o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benny Posted June 3, 2008 Share Posted June 3, 2008 I don't know why everyone seems to think that it will be the third single. Viva la Vida hasn't been confirmed as single yet, has it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cmorri54 Posted June 3, 2008 Share Posted June 3, 2008 I have been a member here for awhile and never posted, but this song made me. I am a HUGE coldplay fan, but I'm not much for the board talk. This song is great. I love violet hill and viva la vida, but this song is just great. Great. Coldplay puts so much work into their songs, and it is always so apparent when their cd's come out. You might have a song that you don't like to much on there, but that song is still good. Other bands just produce a few good songs and add a bunch of fillers. A filler on a Coldplay CD? I don't think so. Then they have songs that are just so good, it's impossible for you to see why somebody else doesn't like this band. This is one of those songs, and it is just the acoustic version. I'm amazed. I really can't wait for this CD to come out! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
winigwl Posted June 3, 2008 Share Posted June 3, 2008 apart from life in technicolour, and maybe daahf everyone one could be a single can't wait for 42 though. hey must be saving it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hotplay007 Posted June 4, 2008 Share Posted June 4, 2008 The next single shall be "Yes!", IMO. It's the best music in the album, so far. I agree with that statement. So far it's got a real hold on me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ak47runner Posted June 4, 2008 Share Posted June 4, 2008 I don't know from what I've listened to so far in Lovers I feel like Violet Hill and VLV are much better songs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cold_Huntress Posted June 4, 2008 Share Posted June 4, 2008 I'm not surprised. I think it's a great song. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thejackdempsie Posted June 4, 2008 Share Posted June 4, 2008 maybe they're doing what death cab did with "plans"... make a video for each song on the album. how sweet would that be? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BostonSportsTD Posted June 4, 2008 Share Posted June 4, 2008 i haven't read all the posts on this thread but i wanted to post my opinion anyway. i personally think (after hearing the 3 seperate versions of this song ESPECIALLY the clip from jimmy kimmel) that this could be a coldplay classic. i think it sounds like a great choice for the next single and i'm insanely excited to hear the studio version. besides... they did say on Q radio yesterday that this may be their most important song ever or something... so i'm guessing it's pretty fucking good!

Laura42 Posted June 4, 2008 Share Posted June 4, 2008 Yeah I'm surprised I thought that the new single would be either 42 or Viva la Vida (I'm one of the ones who thinks Viva la Vida isn't an official single yet), but from what I have heard of this song so far I think it's really great and it deserves to be a single.

twistedlogic149 Posted June 4, 2008 Share Posted June 4, 2008 Viva la Vida should most definitely not be considered a single. It was a promo in an iTunes commercial, and they performed it live, but that doesn't mean anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laura42 Posted June 6, 2008 Share Posted June 6, 2008 Now after several listenings of the album version of this song, I’m sure that it SHOULD be a single, it’s great musically and lyrically, and at the same time it sounds very “radio-friendly”.

Famous Old Painter Posted June 6, 2008 Share Posted June 6, 2008 Viva la Vida should most definitely not be considered a single. It was a promo in an iTunes commercial, and they performed it live, but that doesn't mean anything. You're absolutely right, just because it's the bands highest ever charting song in the US as well as all the promo CDs being sent around pretty much confirms that Viva la Vida will definately never be a single, right?

JM-42 Posted June 6, 2008 Share Posted June 6, 2008 Totally agree! Best song of the album after VLV Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
squareonefivesix Posted June 6, 2008 Share Posted June 6, 2008 Yeh, Lovers'll make a good single. Nice and upbeat. Should be Yes though. Viva won't be an official single release, they've not released any titular album track as a single before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
footyfan10 Posted June 6, 2008 Share Posted June 6, 2008 i think lovers in japan is a pretty great song. that being said, as we heard the acoustic version first, that one is the one I like the most truthfully. it will take sometime for me to think of the new version as the version. but i like it well enough for me to think it could be a good single.

Viva won't be an official single release, they've not released any titular album track as a single before. Yes is one of the least radio friendly tracks on the album, wouldnt make a good single but of course, doesnt make it any less good :P If Lovers In Japan is the next single, it will become a Coldplay classic like Yellow and Fix You for sure, the majority of people allready like it a lot on first listen and it also grows on you and its starting to becoming my favourite song above 42 on the album now :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
