Chinese Sleep Chant is probably my favorite as well....it's so upbeat and unlike anything they've done before. I LOVE IT!!

it's one of the best songs so far :) I haven't the whole album so far :D

From what I've heard on Jimmy Kimmel's show, it seems that lyrics are something like this : "Fall asleep, fall asleep, sleep satisfied, sleep satisfied" :) Good song though :D

Chinese people are weird... how can they sleep with all that noise?

I think this might be one of the very best on the album for me. It kinda resembles the type of music I have really grown into lately as well. Very different to most of the other coldplay songs out there.

The lyrics are utterly incomprehensible unless one removes the guitars.

 

I love it. It's brilliant.

wtf, it's on the album??!! god... the song started like 20 seconds ago and i'm just sooo happy right now! :heart:

i noticed some cease fire or crucade fire singing and some sleep word in that lyrics.

 

but some person must first of all remove all those guitars and just listen to the song and post the lyrics.

 

i think with noise removers.

 

well i think that there are some software applications available on net i think for it.

hey it's not in chinese I heard sleep but the other part is just impossible

I heard this song live at the secret gig in Paradiso Amsterdam today. It was just awesome. Chris: "The next song is a pretty loud one, so everybody above 72 should leave now!"

 

I really loved this song.

Lyrics

 

This is what I hear, it's long and not official but still:

 

Fall asleep

Over me

Sleep satisfied

Sleep satisfied

 

Fall asleep

Over me

Sleep satisfied

Sleep satisfied

 

Sleep

Sleep

Sleep

 

Sleep

Sleep

Sleep satisfied

Sleep satisfied

 

Over me

Over me

Sleep crucified

Sleep crucified

 

Fall asleep

Fall asleep

Sleep satisfied

Sleep satisfied

 

<solo>

 

Sleep

Sleep

Sleep

 

Sleep

Sleep

Sleep satisfied

Sleep satisfied

Does anyone else think that the beginning of CSC sounds ALOT like Crests of Waves? Just like the guitar in the first measure or so...

 

That said, I lovelovelove this song. But what Coldplay song don't I lovelovelove? Hahaha.

yeah it does sound a bit like crest of waves and guess what....I LOVE THEM BOTH, I LOVE CHINESE SLEEP CHANT AND THE WHOLE ALBUM

 

 

Viva La Coldplay!

I find this track a complete snooze(no pun intended). It's so pointless and wispy.

It's just like listening to My Bloody Valentine from 15 years ago lol.

It's clearly a b-side. What on earth is it doing on the album?

It sounds very much like a track from MBV's Swallow EP from 1991. I have the vinyl here but can't play it and can't remember which one from memory (haven't played it for donkeys!)

 

Interestingly Swallow EP has two or three separate extra songs on the end of those actually named on the sleeve...ring any bells?

 

For anyone who enjoys CSC you might well like this, here's a link to the best track from the EP (at least if you're in the UK). It's called To Here Knows When:

i think that the reason people cant hear the lyrics clearly is because it was done like that on purpose. coldplay made the lyrics subtle so it would seem like a sleeping chant where the words are lost in the guitar riffs.

it's my favorite song.

I love it as well. It had been going thru my head non stop. Sleeeep.......

does anyone else think that CSC's guitars sound wayy too compressed and thin? singer and drums sound fine. just guitars, sound hollow and compressed.

I love this song. One of my favs from VLV. I wasn't that impressed by 42 or CoL, but this one is just beautiful :D

great beat but have no idea what he is saying

We're not supposed to hear what he's saying ;P That's like the thing with it :)
