    Chris said he has over 100 Songs composed but many rejected again. A unrealesed official Album is great, but i hope it comes in 30 or 40 Years with a ultimate ending of the great Coldplay era

Thank you everyone for your lovely comments! :heart: You rock!

 

I've uploaded an updated version if anyone's interested...

It is real. You can definitely recognize the tuning of Chris's guitar and piano. Piano sounds like Christmas Lights piano. It's just a little repetitive and without a beautiful voice to back it up. It would be better if they just released this song with vocals. I wonder if they will just give it to someone to leak it saying they just found it, so that Coldplay doesn't have to officially release it, but can put this beautiful song out.

Thank you everyone for your lovely comments! :heart: You rock!

Anna, that is absolutely beautiful :wacky:

Interesting. If it's not real, this person shouldn't credit Coldplay for their beautiful work. :P

 

I agree :P !!!

Oh my god. Listening to the solid ground instrumental actually kills me.

 

It's just such a tease. I want a studio version of that song so bad. Without the vocal track removed.

 

Soooo bad. One of the most beautiful sincere sounding coldplay songs, IMO.

I don't care if the Famous Old Painters instrumental is real or not. All I know is that I've listened to it at least 4 times and I think its beautiful.

Thank you everyone for your lovely comments! :heart: You rock!

cool Anna!

Ahh I'm allready repeating it constantly , I want Chris' voice in it :D

I think this song is purely about getting the marketing machine started for the new album .. and it works :D I Love it ! They know how to tease their fans and I think this was absolutely thought through by their marketing team :)

I don't agree, why would they leak this song on such a stupid MP3 download website? No idea how they got it... But I don't think this has anything to do with Coldplay, or their "Marketing team".

You're great Anna!!

Agreed, it totally sounds like them. In my opinion, anyways :P

 

Whether it's real or not, I love it and will put it on my iPod labelled Coldplay!

Ok...so I may have developed an addiction to FOP.

 

Me too! I listened to it non stop on a flight today!

I actually have some news for you guys,

Hey guys! I just wanted to point out that the cover art I made for the song a while back is on my DeviantArt account for download if anyone wants access to it for their personal usage and such. I had no idea that it would be used, but I guess im lucky to have made it in time :)

 

Heres the link, and enjoy! :D

I didn't listened until today, and it's a wonderful song!!

Even if it's hard to say and easy to be wrong, I think is real. Sounds like Coldplay in many moments, and also Lukas and Until the Water Flows.. You can hear Chris at the back in some moments, the same acoustic guitar sound (which is hard to copy, I must say), also the same piano sound at Famous Old Painters, and mostly the horns: they have the same compressed distinctive sound as in Now My Feet Won't Touch The Ground, and as you may remember, Prospekt said that were hired hornist players for Famous Old Painters, so yep, I think it's real :)

Wonderful songs, aren't they?! :D
