If Coloratura Had a Music Video?

Doomotron · Saturday at 07:02 PM5 days

What might it be like? The lyric video is nice but I would have loved to see Coldplay attempt a music video for it. It's not unusual for songs as long as Coloratura to have music videos - Blackstar by David Bowie had a great one - but usually they're larger in scope because of the length of the song. I'd like to think something along the lines of Up&Up's video would work. But or course that's already been done, and very well. Does anyone have any other ideas?

http://www.hipinion.com/leaks_view.php?lid=339 title and tracklist as follows: Coldplay - Zero Theory Tracklist: 1. Square/1 2. Talk 3. Something Ain't Right 4. Fury 5. Till Kingdom Come 6. Blasphemy 7. What If 8. Echo My Name (I Can't Believe Your Gone) 9. X&Y 10.The Hardest Part 11.Deja Vu I'm not sure what to believe... :huh: But the title 'Fury' does make me curious. I just hope the actual songs aren't going to be leaked.

RizzMountain · April 16, 20251 yr

Previously unheard song from before the Seoul show today. Looks like they might be ready to start soundchecking some new songs again. We don't really know anything about LP11 at this point but I wouldn't be surprised if it comes sooner rather than later given they still had plans until recently to release the final two albums before 2026. red_vid_1744814197.mp4

The NEW 2024 Leaks Thread

Doomotron · April 7, 20242 yr

After the original thread was closed most of the discussion of the leaks moved into the Moon Music thread or the leak lyrics thread, neither of which are really suitable for talking about the leaks in general. While the mods did promise to reopen the original thread once they'd gone through and cleaned it up, I'm not sure of when or if it'll be reopened so for now I thought it would be best to start a new thread for the leaks so we can keep the other threads more on topic.

So.....I made a big mistake..... There have been a lot of spam threads lately, and I was going through deleting them all, and I accidentally deleted the original 'War of the Coldplay Songs' thread which had over 50,000 posts. I feel very very very bad about it. I thought I undeleted it before it was too late, but apparently I did not. @I ran away was the last to post in the original thread with the songs: Chinese Sleep Chant vs. 1.36 Let me continue that with: Chinese Sleep Chan
