So, I was listening to 'I Ran Away' on my headphones today, and I noticed that in the beginning Chris says '1, 2, 3... Will!'.

 

Has anyone else noticed this?! I always thought he just said '1, 2, 3...' but I have never listened to the song with headphones before :D

 

Anyway, I thought it was kind of :cool: Will got a mention. Also, does anyone know if this is the only other track where Will has a drum solo at the beginning? (The other being 'In My Place').

:sneaky: i noticed the 1 2 3

 

didnt know that word was "will" :lol:

I've always noticed that.

 

Best Coldplay song. :heart:

I always noticed that too,

It's my favourite b-side.

^^ that

I always thought for some reason he was saying "1, 2, 3, well..."

But Will makes a lot more sense.

 

I'm actually kind of surprised you didn't hear it until you heard it through headphones. I heard it the first time I ever listened to it at all.

I Ran Away is the only Coldplay song that's close to being good, but then I overlistened it and don't even like that one anymore </3 I'm so jaded.

Ha, yeah me too really! I think I just had the volume too low I guess. I always heard the '1, 2, 3...' and then the drums. :lol:

 

Headphones do wonderful things sometimes! :thumbsup:

Ah, YES COLDPLAY FORUM.

 

Yah, I've notice that tew.

i noticed it a long time ago, because i am obviously a super genius. :charming:

ah, what a pretty song. :wacky:

Yip, I noticed it, but also not until I listened with earphones.

 

I recently purchased a "little black book" of songs which just lists the chords and lyrics for almost all the songs through X&Y, and the lyrics in there say "well" instead of "Will". But there's a bunch of other lyrics that are wrong in it too, I don't know what cracksmoker proofread it.

 

And if there's any doubt, there's always trusty ol' "Recordings" section on coldplay.com where you can look at all the lyrics. :D (And yes, it says "Will" there.)

I noticed that too. One of the few Coldplay songs I don't mind listening to.

Yah! It´s a mix of "Will" and "well", but I say it´s "Will"

Chris always has something to say in many songs in the introductions or before solos or something.

In till kingdom come, he says "one, two..."? Or another thing?

It's by far the best B-Side.

I've always noticed that.

 

Best Coldplay song. :heart:

 

I've still never heard it. :blank:

 

:uhoh:

I do love that "1,2,3 ... will"!!!

 

:) :D

I LOVE that song ! :heart:

I've still never heard it. :blank:

 

:uhoh:

Well, don't feel bad. To be fair, I didn't know the magnitude of their b-sides until late last year. Unless I'm blind, I never saw "singles" in the stores, only the full albums.

This thread made me listen to it again ! It was a reaaaally long time since I last heard it.

 

Fucking amazing song. <3

I'm sort of glad that never went on an album :thinking:

yes i've noticed that from the first tim :uhoh:

but isn't it "1, 2, 3, ... William" ?? :thinking:
