Amazing, amazing, amazing. Just... wow.

 

Definitely would love to hear more piano on the new album.

go to this page and then its the little play button under the "concert privé: coldplay" picture.

 

its just the audio but i hope this helps anyone who is desperate to listen the song as i was :)

 

I have since "adjusted" :sneaky: my sig for my favorite lyrics of the song! thanks for the link. :clap:

[crazyduckette]

Wow... the song sounds amazing!! :dance: It's really grown on me.

 

Crazy to think that everytime Christmas rolls around each year, we might hear/see ourselves on tv :dance: :nice:

 

I really remember that rolling melody bit we had to listen lots of times before we did the singing... can hear it in the song :santa2:

Just noticed how much I like the drums too :) and the firework noises!! I can remember them just like that from the set! :lol:

[FixYougirl]

Very nice song!

[jacek2015]

Yes. It's definitely best part ! :) !

 

Those Christmas lights, light up the street.

Maybe they’ll bring her back to me.

Then all my troubles will be gone,

Oh Christmas lights, keep shining on.

FOR THE LOVE OF GOD CAN WE GET A DOWNLOAD LINK UP IN THIS PIECE

[Bonus_mosher]

if anybody is interested I have ripped the audio from the tumblr page and have it in .mp3 format.

 

I am not going to condone this action however, so please don't PM me for the link.

Use your initiative and figure it out yourself.

 

CLUE:

 

FOR THE WIN *Looks downward*

 

 

yeah, that was too easy. :P

[fix_the_scientist]

Thankyou.

[Bonus_mosher]

Anytime, hombré

[arwen88]

Oh my god, guys, we can actually hear ourselves in the song as well! :heart:

all the memories are rushing back to me! :cry:

[wisna]

I thought I could resist and wait until the evening, but couldn´t!

The song is just beautiful!

:wacky:

Yeah! absolutely!

and in the video (somebody ripped it for me)

you can see me on the boat, I knew wearing that luminous jacket would come in handy!

:D

The song is just beautiful!

:wacky:

 

I have it on repeat, still not getting old. :dance:

[Strawberry Swinger]

OK, this song is not "playing it safe" - I am glad that they are doing this, hope the album will be as "risky" :)

 

Nice.

[2GreenEyes]

I so love this song! And it's not like they take a christmas song less seriously than other songs or something, it could be an album song any day, it's so beautiful and it's noticeable that they worked very hard on it. I could listen to it all day!

And we can be heard! OMG :D

[Bonus_mosher]

I've actually heard a few sources claim (though they may be unreliable) that this is on LP5 and isn't just a one-off christmas release; that would be neat.

[Lihyahm]

Nice.

I really hope you're being sarcastic. There's nothing risky about it at all. The song structure is slightly unconventional, but that's as far as experimentation goes here unfortunately.

well I am talking about the change of tempo , not the melody - it's kinda a rare thing for Coldplay, don't you think?

[Open-Politik]

Can I hear it!!! Please

[Bonus_mosher]

I got bored and took the time to transcribe the lyrics.

all but one lyric, I think I'm bang on the money.

 

Christmas night, another fight,

tears we cried a flood,

Got all kinds of poison in, poison in my blood.

 

Took my feet to oxford street,

Trying to right a wrong;

Just walk away, those windows sing,

and I can't believe she's gone.

 

When your still waiting for the snow to fall;

It doesn't really feel like christmas at all.

 

A couple of candles only flicker

Oh they flicker and they float

and I'm up here holding on to all those chandeliers of hope,

Like some drunken out there singing,

I go singing out of tune;

Singing how I always loved you darling and I always will,

 

But when your still waiting for the snow to fall;

It doesn't really feel like christmas at all. [X2]

 

Those christmas lights, light up the street

Down where the sea unsettled me, [this line is almost certainly wrong/can't figure it!]

May all your troubles soon be gone

Oh christmas lights, keep shining on.

 

Those christmas lights light up the street

Maybe they'll bring her back to me,

and then all my troubles they'll be gone

Oh christmas lights, keep shining on.

 

[instrumental + Awesome boat singers]

Oh oh oh OHHHH oh oh, oh-oh.

 

Oh christmas lights light up the street

Light up the fireworks in me

May all your troubles soon be gone

Those christmas lights, keep shining on.

[funkenstein]

I'm so excited about this song!!! It should be ready my time to downlaod before I go to work in the morning, so I can listen to it on the bus on my daily commute to work :dance:

All the Coldplayers sound great in the ohhh bit :thumbsup:

[AnnaElisabeth]

OMG. I'm listening on Tumblr and I'm crying again. OMG. I just love the band and this community so much :bigcry::bigcry:

 

Can't wait to see the video. :wacky:

 

:bigcry:

 

*puts on repeat*

[Raphaele]

I couldn't resist and I'm back on the boat:cry:

[Tonsu]
