    I'm so excited they're talking about this song recently. Here's hoping they'll think about adding it to a live song set-list.❤️

    Yesss, I love this song. It's really great, they should play it on a B or C stage one day at least!

Sorry Brooke I have just realised that I have you in my friend list, we have spoken before...sorry I am too distracted:cry:

that's ok, i obviously didn't realise we'd spoken before either! :P ;)

I saw one of your t-shirts in thread where we can show the coldplay things that we made..

I think it was there...;)

Honestly I've never really thought about it before, but I just listened to it again and I agree, I do think it's Guy! :P Something about the way "prospektor had been told" is pronounced... Does it not sound like his Scottish/British accent? :laugh3:

AWWNNNNN his accent!! :wacky::smug:

It´s sooooo cute!! s2

And yeah, I heard it 17816376736 times and I really thinks it´s him!

 

I submited this question to the oracle, maybe he´ll aswer! *fingers crossed*

Oh wise Oracle who knows everything...

I´d like to know who sings the third part of 'The Goldrush'? Is it Guy? I think I can hear his accent mostly in the "prospektor had been told" verse...

I've asked the Oracle this twice, and by the looks of it so have many others out there. Why won't he just answer the question????? It's a good, valid question!

 

But agreed, after listening to it, I believe it's Guy. Awesome to hear him sing a solo, never really had before. Johnny had his part in Don't Panic, Will had DWNQ, and now it's good ole Guy's turn!:smug:

Yeah I dont think it is. Nowhere else is he credited for it. PLus, why would he sing on one of their tracks? They'd at least give him credit somewhere. It's Guy.

Maybe Brian is singing in the background but I really think it's Guy.The Scottish accent or whatever accent he has these days

I've never realized someone else might be singing the third verse. I've listened to it a few more times to figure it out, but it's hard for me to hear the person singing that part.

 

By the way, I always thought Eno was the one singing really really low. I didn't think Jonny or Guy could go that low. :P

 

edit - as soon as I posted this, The Goldrush started playing on my iTunes xD

Hmmm, its hard to think, it could be guy, and jonny did a solo on dont panic in 2003, could be eno AND guy.

Its hard.

Oh well.

I guess I'll confess.

It was me.

I am Guy.

I was a bit shy.

But I tried.

And I'm Jon! :guitarist:

It would be great if Phil actually sang that part. But I don't think so.

So, did you ever find out who sings the 3rd verse?

 

I personally had a hard time figure it out myself. I tried comparing 3rd verse in The Goldrush to Apparatjik's Electric eye, but there's so many effects going on in both songs that i gave up.. :S

  • 1 year later...

Personally, the voice sounds a little old to be Guy's. But on the other hand, like everyone has said, we really haven't had a clear shot at hearing Guy sing. Maybe there is some possibility it's Simon Pegg or Ricky Gervais? I know Simon Pegg has sung on 1'36".

I remember watching a live video of them play either Politik or AROBTTH and Johnny pulled out his low tones. I'll try to find it and post it.

The Oracle already answered saying Jonny sang it

oh rly?!

 

I actually thought it was Guy.. Don't know why but when I heard it I thought: Guy.

 

I like the way 'valley' is pronounced :D

Okay. I thought it was him, because I remember him singing backup for Politik Live 2003 and it sounded similar (his voice is so low! :wacky: )
