Which Coldplay song do you believe should have been released as a fully fledged single?

A lot of Politik fans here are quite happy that Politik was never a single, just to have such an awesome non-mainstream song. I have to agree.

 

While I think 4 singles per album is plenty, here's some I feel could have worked:

- Green Eyes

- White Shadows

- Swallowed in the Sea

- Glass of Water

- Rainy Day

 

Really, I can't see any others working well.

I gotta agree with that Politik statement,

I have been satisfied with the single selection of Parachutes & X&Y.

 

From VLVODAAHF: I hoped that they put out Strawberry Swing as a single in the summer.

That would have gone HUGE.

 

SO TRUE! Why didn't they think of that?! It would have been Yellow no2 only more summerish! My favourite summer song of all time has got to be Sing by Travis.

Seems my taste is a bit different.

 

Parachutes: Single choices are fine, maybe "Sparks"

 

ARABTTH: A warning sign

 

X & Y: Square One

 

Viva la Vida: Cemeteries of London

 

Prospekt March: Glass of Water

Off Parachutes I'd have liked to see Don't Panic as an actual single with b-sides, not the limited release..

Off AROBTTH Amsterdam would've made a good single imho, although I like it as an album closer as well.

Off X&Y I personally would've gone for A Message instead of The Hardest Part, and I would've made a much better video as well :P

Off Viva La Vida I'd have liked Strawberry Swing, and off Prospekt's March I can see why they went with LiT II as a single, but Glass of Water is just more interesting, especially since we hadn't heard that before.

 

And I would've done Moses as a single, studio version and all. Cause that's just a great song, and it would've made a nice teaser while waiting for X&Y.

We Never Change.....

 

Politik...Amsterdam

 

X&Y(S0NG)....Twisted Logic

 

Prospekts March....

 

Really? Barring Politik and maybe Amsterdam, I'm really surprised you think the others could be singles. It's strange because I don't highly rate We Never change, X&Y and Twisted Logic to be honest. Prospekt's March I love, but I feel it's an album song more than anything.

Personally I'd have loved to have seen Spies and Warning Sign released as well as Swallowed in the Sea and 42.
