Please. Everyone. Seriously. Stop with Wedding Bells. :inquisitive:

 

Agreed. To be truthful, I love the melody of Wedding Bells and Spanish Rain is a good track as well but neither one even breaks my top 20 Coldplay songs to date. Very mediocre songs and I expect much better on the album!

So it seems Paradise is without a B-Side if its an instant grat Track if you pre-order MX from iTunes on September 12. ?!:thinking:

 

Its looking that way!!:nod:

The tracklisting is usually availible already when you go to pre-order an

album on iTunes so it could work out we get both Paradise and Tracklisting

on 12th September (42 days before Mylo Xyloto Drops).

Maybe ths is also when Mylo Xyloto Pop-Up Edition

becomes availible to pre-order to!!

I think that could be a plausible story for MX

The band has narrowed down the final tracklisting to 16 possible songs, and there is a disagreement on just how many make the album - the band wants only 10 or 11, but there are so many great songs that are part of the story that might not make the cut. That's the problem... the album follows a story to it's conclusion - and the band is very adamant about making it an album that you listen to all the way through. Because of this, I honestly don't think "Every Teardrop is a Waterfall" is going to make the final cut (unless there is pressure from the boys at Parlophone/EMI). Hence, this song being last because it's a happy ending beyond the happy ending. Also, they really don't want to go beyond the "45-minute rule" the band put in place before VLVODAAIF.

 

With that being stated, the songs in contention:

 

1. Mylo Xyloto (1000-01)

2. Hurts Like Heaven

3. Up in Flames

4. Paradise

5. Charlie Brown

6. U.F.O. (A Hopeful Transmission) - piano interlude, static, sounds, short segue

7. The Streets Are Running??? - I haven't heard this one but is it brand new??

8. Up With the Birds

9. Princess of China - apparently amazing

10. Car Kids

11. Us Against the World

12. Major Minus

13. Sex and Violence

14. Tomorrow

15. Great Expectations

16. Moving to Mars - not on album

17. Every Teardrop is a Waterfall

 

They are STILL recording songs/parts and won't sequence until the final hour, IMO.

I really like the other plausible tracklists but I've had this storyline in mind for a while now and I figured I'd release it and see if people think this could be the plot

 

1. Mylo Xyloto/Hurts Like Heaven

The xylophone sounds linger into a song which introduces the protagonist, a man who is lost in the dark and difficult times street life. He looks around at the graffiti of the walls and the park to realize that in order to express himself and his desires; he must use his heart and a spray-can soul.

 

2. Charlie Brown

The protagonist is a novice to the street life yet begins to steal and joins a gang known as the lost boys, or the car kids. The song echoes the peanuts character Charlie brown, since it seems as if he glows in the dark and cannot stay out of the antagonist's eye.

 

3. Princess of China

Tells a story of how the antagonist lost the one he cared for due to his treacherous ways. In the songs, it exclaims that the love could have been a princess and lives in a castle, but she let him go, which leaves the antagonist alone on his quest to clear the streets.

 

4. Major Minus

It introduces the antagonist with its ominous and thunderous beat, coupled with the eerie guitar solo. The song elicits that one eye is always watching the lost boys gang and the big brother figure (1984) sends out its gang to find and destroy the protagonist

 

5. Every Teardrop is a Waterfall

The song begins triumphantly as the protagonist has gotten the hang of street-life, with the kids dancing, and now the antagonist’s love coming to join the lost boys. The protagonist tells her that every tear is a waterfall and that they will soar walls together, trying to escape the oppression.

 

6. Paradise

An anthem of a song regarding a perfect world. A place where all evil is rid of and the people of the world rejoice and live in harmony. The protagonist proclaims this theory to the lost boys and his take on a perfect world.

 

7. Up in Flames

The lost boys’ gang is in flames as the big brother’s team infiltrates their location and takes them hostage. The princess turns on them and flees with the antagonist, leaving the lost boys to face the consequences on their own.

 

8. Up with the Birds

Trapped in the cellar of the antagonist, the main character sees the birds and wishes he could fly up with them and soar out the cell that he and the lost boys are in.

 

9. A Hopeful Transmission/U.F.O

After leaving with the antagonist, the love interest attempts to get a transmission out to the lost boys, telling them that she is coming to rescue them with supplies and materials from the antagonist. U.F.O then chronicles her appearance as if a flying spaceship at night, going to rescue the lost boys in the cell.

 

10. Us Against the World/Tomorrow

The song begins in the morning after the princess came to rescue the lost boys. While sitting in the cell, the protagonist states that he knows the brutality of the previous nights that it will happen again tonight so he wishes that they can fly up to the surface. The concluding song, Tomorrow, describes the escape and the victory over the oppression.
