I Ran Away - 1,2,3... Will!

[mrman78]

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:

[an angel]

I've always noticed that.

 

Best Coldplay song. :heart:

[EmmaLouiseSmyth]

I always noticed that too,

It's my favourite b-side.

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.

[coldplayisawesome]

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

ah, what a pretty song. :wacky:

[NumbersGirl]

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.)

[Megalomania]

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

[cele]

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?

[Buxus vahlii]

It's by far the best B-Side.

[pickle]

I've always noticed that.

 

Best Coldplay song. :heart:

 

I've still never heard it. :blank:

 

:uhoh:

[Wherrwhfer]

That is the only Coldplay song I can listen to, without feeling bad. Sorry peepz.

[miumiu]

I LOVE that song ! :heart:

[NumbersGirl]

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.

[Alice]

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

 

Fucking amazing song. <3

[The Final Track]

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

[Miss Mags]

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

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