Hello everyone,

 

My apologies if there is already a thread on this started, I am brand new to these boards!

 

So, I've listened to the whole VLVODAAHF album multiple times and I can't pick a favorite...all of the songs are just SO DAMN GOOD.

 

Many of you probably recall reading in interviews about Coldplay talking about the new album and how it would contain "a song that everyone should hear before we die."

 

Any consensus on what this song is?? Yes? Lovers in Japan? Cemeteries of London? I can't pick! And if this is already being discussed, please point me to the thread! :)

i have no idea what song but really good question......and welcome:)

Death and All His Friends.

I think you will find it was 42:)

yeah i think it's 42

I really think this was just Chris being Chris and saying something he thought was funny ha.

I know Chris said it was MEANT to be 42.

 

But to me, DAAHF is something people actually should hear before they die.

 

Maybe I just don't understand 42, but to me, it hasn't changed my outlook on anything. DAAHF has.

it's 42.... pay attention to the lyrics ;)

Strawberry Swing would be pleasant to die to.

:)

by the way, welcome to Coldplaying.

42, it's a play on words by chris...as 42 is about death lol.

Thanks guys for the welcomes and your opinions!

 

That's interesting, I would have thought it was DAAHF as well. I wasn't drawn to 42 right away, but I've been listening to 42 more and it's growing on me. To me it sounds like it could fit on AROBTTH; it reminds me quite a bit of the song AROBTTH actually.

Strawberry Swing would be pleasant to die to.

:)

 

I know, Strawberry Swing is so peaceful and optimistic! I love it. :daisy:

hmm... i forgot that he said that

ok i really don't think it was 42. i think everyone just made that assumption because of those charity plates and stuff but we really had no concrete evidence as to why he could have been talking about 42.

 

in my opinion he was just fucking around and wasn't really thinking of one song in particular when he said it.

 

but if i had to say which song i think is the song people need to hear before they die i'd say 'viva la vida'. i seriously do not know ANYONE who dislikes it. everyone at my school including wicked meathead type guys comes up to me and says 'ok i actually really like the new coldplay song...' and stuff along those lines. seriously it's crazy how many people love it.... including myself!!

I think it's 42

im pretty set on the fact that its either daahf or 42

 

maybe vlv but idk
