It's just a b-side, not the first single of the new album..if it didn't make the cut for either Viva la Vida or Prospekt's March I highly doubt the fifth album will sound like it :wink:

I bet they had a great time recording it :nice:

I think it sounds amazing. Like others have said earlier, a nice track to play at a bar...kinda like Sam Roberts' single Detroit 67' but still sounding very original.

 

And a2i3l, at least it's not A Spell a Rebel Yell. :confused:

*is confused* Is Will still singing lead in this? 'Cause it doesn't appear that way from the preview... :confused:

 

No it sounds like Chris. Do you remember if/when we were told Will took leads on the studio version? I swear I remember something like that recently.

 

Anyone?

In regards to Will, here's Chris's comment I pulled from the Wiki:

"We're also hoping to do this thing where we give away a song with every ticket. We have this song called The Goldrush, which Will sings. We want to play it as part of the show, so we'd like to give it away with the ticket. That way the only people that know that song will be the people coming to the concerts."

 

That certainly does sound like he's implying a live performance, now that I think about it. Perhaps DWNC will be cycled out in favor of this?

i've only listened to the preview like three times (previews tend to annoy me a bit, because then the part of the song that's previewed sticks out from the rest of the song for me), but somehow i was able to completely embed this song in my head, and it was stuck in my head all day yesterday :lol:. i can't wait for the full release :nice:

FIRST of all i completely agree with you. after i listened to the previews for the prospekts march songs a million times it kinda ruined the full songs once i had them. well it didnt RUIN them i guess but it always just felt weird when i got to the part that i had the preview of. so i, also, have only listened to the goldrush preview a couple times.

 

SECOND i looove your signature. slumdog millionaire was an unbelievable movie.

All I have to say is that I would REALLY enjoy a Coldplay album filled with tunes like The Goldrush and The Dubliners. Folksy and amazing.

 

I see them as perfect b sides, i think putting it on albums would be a bit to much

I went digging for gold

Down by the river

Over by the mountain

Where the prospektor had been told

I'm marching through the cold

We're marching through the cold

I went digging for gold

I went down with my brother

A bucket and a shovel

and a book about the colour of coal

I'm marching through the cold

We're marching through the cold

There's a tiny little crackle on the telephone line

Saying what use the metal if the metal

don't shine?

She said bring me back a diamond/ring

cause I really want one

Now I been digging so long that I never

see the sun

 

Lyrics need a slight tweak...:)

 

I went digging for gold

I went down to the valley

Over by the mountain

Where the prospektor had been told

I'm marching through the cold

We're marching through the cold

 

I went digging for gold

I went down with my brother

A bucket and a shovel

and a book about the colour of coal

I'm marching through the cold

We're marching through the cold

Saying what use the metal if the metal don't shine?

(and again..one last time)

Now I been digging so long that I never seen the sun
