givelovesolong Posted June 24, 2011 Share Posted June 24, 2011 Took a few listens, but it has certainly grown on me. I really, really love it actually. Some of the lyrics, particularly, and Will and Chris singing together, especially -- there's something about how their voices sound together. I like the vocal effects and think they suit the context of the song quite well. My favourite thing is probably the "Spies"-esque guitar that can be heard toward the end. Goosebumps.

Brent Posted June 24, 2011 Share Posted June 24, 2011 Which station do you guys think will play it the soonest? I went with Absolute for MM and it worked really well. But then again I don't really know about British radio :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
givelovesolong Posted June 24, 2011 Share Posted June 24, 2011 I've always stuck with Radio 1 -- I mean, either way you'll hear it eventually. I'm never too fussed about hearing it first. But yeah, Absolute got MM first last night, right? I think just choose one and stick with it. I'd be concerned about switching over stations at first mention of airing and ending up half-way through the song. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Basilica Posted June 24, 2011 Share Posted June 24, 2011 maricircus, that's correct. Good morning Basilica. :) Strawberry Swinger, that's tough luck. Some people in 'the biz' make you wonder why it's even worthwhile. Until the band's onstage and the audience is smiling, and it all seems okay! Also: For conversation, while we wait...what's people's thoughts on the Major Minus studio version? (given that it does sound quite different to the live version) Haha, and a good evening to you! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean I'm just kind of fussed for hearing it first because it comes out at 5:45am here, and I'd like to go back to bed ASAP :dozey: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's fair enough. Well, considering Tash just confirmed it was Radio 1 that aired MM first last night, maybe stick with that one. Or, you know -- set an alarm for half an hour later and then check that the actual Coldplay site hasn't uploaded it yet. Might work out for you better -- knowing you can't have missed it or be impeded by faulty connections/buffering. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jedi Leo Posted June 24, 2011 Share Posted June 24, 2011 Do you think it's gonna be an up-tempo or slow song? I hope it's gonna be dreamy, spacey and with lots of Jonny! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hux90 Posted June 24, 2011 Share Posted June 24, 2011 Just woke up :) So, have any of the stations announced a Coldplay special, or the exact time they'll be playing the song?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IneedYou23 Posted June 24, 2011 Share Posted June 24, 2011 Hello! From California!! I would like a ballad really.We've heard a lot of up tempo stuff.But im sure regardless ill love it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Major_Love Posted June 24, 2011 Share Posted June 24, 2011 Do you think it's gonna be an up-tempo or slow song? I hope it's gonna be dreamy, spacey and with lots of Jonny! Hard to say...don't think this is a slow song because of Johnnys epic intro and I'm sure that in the end (7,6,5,4,3) the song is getting faster and louder. But maybe, at the beginning this is a more pure sound...without so much details, just johnny and chris' voice...?! But the guys suprise me again and again. :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jedi Leo Posted June 24, 2011 Share Posted June 24, 2011 After hearing all the new stuff, I feel like as long as Jonny is prevalent, it'll be ok! Not to diss any of the other guys, cuz they are just awesome, but Jonny just guarantees a good track, bless him! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
givelovesolong Posted June 24, 2011 Share Posted June 24, 2011 I don't really know what I'm expecting for this -- as I learnt from ETIAW (which I'm a lover of). I've only really skimmed the lyrics, too, but I know there were a few comments saying it sounded like it would be a slow one. Although, given the intro has been described as "epic"... I'm hoping for a nice, big dose of Jonny. Everything we've heard so far, he's been incredible on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
