It's amazing..I can't stop listening to it & I'm not a huge fan of live recordings.

I would probably say Major Minus is best in quality but Charlie Brown I think will become a crowd favourite to join the ranks of In My Place, Clocks and Yellow.

I think this is going to become a live favorite. I'll bet Johnny's riff is going to become a Coldplay classic, like the Viva chant and the Clocks piano intro.

Brilliant song.

The guitar :o

the little bit chorous part.

Well it's definitely one of my favorites now along with Major Minus. Imo, Chris has gotten better at performing live, just felt like saying that. I think this next LP will very much surpass the likes of Viva La Vida

For anyone who's interested. I made an iPhone ringtone of the intro guitar riff of Charlie Brown, mostly because i'm obsessed with it :D.

Just download it and drag it into iTunes.

I am enjoying this song. It reminds me of Bon Iver and Fleet Foxes for some reason.

Incredible sound. Coldplay are back. All good things come to those who wait.

I like how you stole my avatar :P For the sake of less confusion, would you maybe mind picking another picture? I would really appreciate that.

Charlie Brown and Hurts Like Heaven are my favourites until now

I love Jonny's guitar in this song. He is brilliant:o

The riff is very good but i think they miss a really chorus singing.

:D

 

 

Not their best lyrics, probably because I can't really make it out, but I like this! Wayyyy better than wa wa wa wa waterfall.

And Jonny's guitar parts were just <3

 

It sounds different from their past, but nice different. I'm waiting for the studio version.

BEST RECORD BY FAR LETS HOPE THEVE GOT SOME MORE LIKE THIS ALREADY CLASSIC

:D

 

 

yeah this song is also great,but who the hell is charlie brown?

i know a film with that name but i honestly know it isn't about that haha:)

 

Maybe this new album will be even better then 'viva la vida'

ooh wait it just will be better i just know it :sneaky:

 

this new album will be more in the leaugue of the first two LP's i think.

The Oracle answered your question TODAY.

Q. Dear Oracle,

 

At the Rock Am Ring festival Coldplay performed a new song called Charlie Brown. My question is: who is he, and why has Coldplay dedicated this song to him?

 

Greetings from The Netherlands!

 

 

The Oracle replies:

 

It's definitely not dedicated to a real person. The only Charlie Brown I know of is the comic strip creation by Charles M. Schulz. Given the lyric that led most fans to think the song was called Cartoon Heart, I'd say it's named after him.

Favourate song of all the new ones! Love the tune of it, so catchy!

Aww why couldnt they release this as their first single instead of ETIAW, I NEED this studio version before the summer is over!

Oh God. I haven't even thought about this...

If the album does come out, like they say it is, that means summer would have began and ended. I would be back in school as I am finally listening to the studio version of this song...

 

Holy hell. I don't think I can go that long without having an actual studio version of this song.... or any of these songs.

I LOVE this song! O_O :dazzled:

 

Might even take over Square One as the favourite..

The lyrics I hear for it:

 

I stole a key,

Took a car downtown where the lost boys meet,

I took a car downtown and took what they offered me.

To set me free,

I saw the lights go down at the end of the scene,

I saw the lights go down and they're standing in front of me.

 

My scarecrow dreams, (?)

When they smashed my heart into smitharines,

I be a bright red rose come bursting the concrete.

Be the cartoon heart,

Light a fire, light a spark,

Light a fire, a flame in my heart.

We'll run wild,

We'll be glow-in-the-dark.

 

All the boys, all the girls,

All the (?)

All the boys, all the girls,

All the (?)

 

All the high's, all the low's,

??

We'll run wild,

We'll start glowing-in-the-dark.

So we'll run wild,

We'll be glow-in-the-dark.

 

I hear it as ''All the highs, all the lows

As the moon will be spinning around

We’ll run wild

We’ll start glowing in the dark''

But I don't know if that's right or wrong. :wacko:

Sill stuck on Charlie Brown, have listened to it about 100 times already

Love it, love it, love it!!!!!!!!

Hear the little introduction to the song...the voices sound very alienish... :P I love that! ;)

 

(Yeah and I just heard the first 15 sec of the vid). :D
