If you crank up the volume, you can clearly see it says It's a bit flat

 

Yes, you can hear a "t" instead of a "ck"

And why most people here vote for Chris saying that :thinking:. It's Guy, you can hear a bit of Scottish on that voice :rolleyes:

If it was a swear word you'd get a coarse language label with your record

 

Remember Jay-Z says "shit" on Lost+ and there's no label on Prospekt's March EP. :D

It sounds like Chris Martin but it does sound like he's cursing!

I always think that Chris says "...speed faster". But you make me consider...:shocked2:

Beginning of song.

 

I will tell you what I hear at the beginning of Strawberry Swing.

Person 1- " [tzah?] one... two... three..."

Person 2- "no it's a bit faster."

 

I heard this said the first time I heard the song and have had no doubts as to the words.

I may also state:

 

1. I have purchased an expensive Turtle Beach Headset, which provides very high quality audio.

 

2. I listen to music a lot and I feel I have become adept at identifying sounds.

 

3. I have listened to this song under various programs and equilizers, under each one the wrods only seem clearer to me.

 

4. I have a slight hearing problem but it is not much of a deal. I feel that I can hear well enough. I do not require a Hearing Aid.

I never noticed that detail before :o

I always thought it was Chris saying, "Just a little bit faster..." but then again I'm tragically untalented at determining the words of songs, even favourites such as Strawberry Swing.

Definitely sounded like Guy more than Chris. I think he either says "That's a bit fast/flat".

Haha it's funny coming back to this how it was Chris vs. Guy and it was wild to think it was Eno.

:wtf: I've always thought it was Chris saying "no it's a bit fast" or something :huh:

'Champion: Those are actually Brian [Eno's] handclaps at the beginning of that song, and —

 

Martin: If you listen very closely, you can hear him complaining about the tempo at the beginning of that song.

 

Champion: That's mostly what he does, complain about tempos.

 

Martin: [in a booming Brian Eno voice] "Oh, that's much too fast."
