Well, apparently, it looks like they are different songs, in this article it says some of the songs which DIDN'T make the tracklisting, which including 'Now My Feet Won't Touch The Ground!':

 

Here's the article:

Coldplay lets its creative flag fly on its fourth studio album, "Viva La Vida or Death and All His Friends," due June 17 via Capitol. "We're still obsessed with making songs that can be sung to the rafters," frontman Chris Martin says. "We just wanted to present them differently."

 

To accomplish that goal, the group turned to co-producers Brian Eno and Markus Dravs, who adorn the material with grandiose embellishments the likes of which have never been heard before on a Coldplay album.

 

"Viva La Vida" begins with a strident instrumental, "Life in Technicolor," built as much on an arpeggiated synth foundation as it is on an acoustic guitar melody. The same instrumental is tacked onto the final song, "Death and All His Friends," as a hidden track dubbed "The Escapist."

 

In between, the band frequently breaks from verse-chorus-verse constructions, particularly on "42," which is comprised of three distinct, seemingly unrelated sections. "Yes" shifts from a string- and tabla-driven rocker into a shoegazer-y breakdown, while a funky groove emerges from out of nowhere in the middle of "Death and All His Friends."

 

Elsewhere, Martin and the piano are at the forefront of the shimmering "Reign of Love," while "Cemeteries of London" conjures a foreboding vibe apropos of its title and "Lost!" swells with massive-sounding church organ strains.

 

 

Drummer Will Champion credits Eno with upending Coldplay's usual working habits in the studio. "Brian has this amazing ability to demystify wonderful music and make it seem very achievable," he says. "We weren't afraid to try anything."

 

Coldplay recorded a number of other songs that did not wind up making the final track list, including "Postcards From Far Away," "Lukas," "Rainy Day," "The Goldrush" and "Now My Feet Won't Touch the Ground," but it's unknown if they will be released in some form down the road.

 

Here is the track list for "Viva La Vida or Death and All His Friends":

 

"Life in Technicolor"

"Cemeteries of London"

"Lost!"

"42"

"Lovers in Japan"/"Reign of Love"

"Yes"

"Viva La Vida"

"Violet Hill"

"Strawberry Swing"

"Death and All His Friends"

i dont know where the article's from, but even if it was a semi-credible to credible source, i think its more than likely they went on the internet and looked at the list of songs not on the album, and put them there, as opposed to fact checking with the band themselves.

 

i dont think it could be any clearer that they're the same song. i mean its got a word for word lyric in it.

 

i still think this song is case closed

yea this article was out before the album was out. i think we originally got the song title from this article and then we all heard the song and we were like.... oh so these people were completely wrong and they were actually talking about strawberry swing. no offense but OBVIOUSLY 'now my feet won't touch the ground' is strawberry swing. they wouldnt put a random lyric in one song and then name another song the same thing!

I'm not saying it's not the same thing I'm just saying that possibility should totally be ruled out. You seem to be forgetting Coldplay tend to do these things -

Yeah, I love it too. The horn section is particularly great.

 

 

Oh yes, ti's my favorite part. But we shouldnt forget how inspiring and magical the lyrics are, especially during the chorus

 

Misunderstanding from my part probably....
