August 12, 201114 yr Oh and CAR KIDS is written partially inside the L of "OXYL . I feel stupid posting MYL , OXYL , OTO ? :D I'm trying to work out if it says Cartoon Heart next to it. There's no reason for it to, but it did strike me.
August 12, 201114 yr "the two of u (u2??) drove speeding Ghost and a shadow to the Luminous, the road in the Sea, we swam from the shallows to battle .... glow where, we´re gonna run Cod? only Now take you" ??? :D I also see "Up with the Birds" if im right.
August 12, 201114 yr For the last few weeks...everything, everything I've been has been related with 42 o_o it's freaking me out
August 12, 201114 yr And i see "Car Downtown" and "a bright Red Rose" clearly "Cartoon Hearts". "You do...Dont let go" also referring to "Hurts like Heaven".
August 12, 201114 yr And i see "Car Downtown" clearly "Cartoon Hearts". "You do...Dont let go" also referring to "Hurts like Heaven". So whatever you do, don't let go. It's UATW
August 12, 201114 yr So whatever you do, don't let go. It's UATW Oh yes, sorry my fault. Cant help thinking but the Middle Graffiti looks like a Star Cluster for me.
August 12, 201114 yr "the Two of u, we drove, a speeding Ghost and a shadow, Luminous the Road to the Sea, we swam from the shallows to battle .... glow where, we´re gonna run Cod? only Now take you" That's what i get.
August 12, 201114 yr UWTB by ThomieThomas, on Flickr So, Up With The Birds is on Mylo Xyloto :D You never know. Look at the booklet of Viva and you'll see the titles Glass of Water, Postcards from Far Away, Poppyfields - none of which actually appeared on Viva, but rather the Prospekt's March - EP.
August 12, 201114 yr This seems like the most suitable place to put my findings. Well, as you all probably know by now, MX is being released on October 24. 24, of course, is the reverse of 42. Also, a quick countdown will reveal that the single Paradise will be released 42 days before MX. This is either a rather circumstantial coincidence, or the band have done a bit of thought. Nothing in coldplay is circumstantial coincidence.
August 12, 201114 yr Good to finally have some news. I really want the vinyl, is the pop-up version supposed to be another vinyl as well? would make sense with a 12x12 book...
August 12, 201114 yr Is it just me, or have there been a lot of references to UFOs? One of the first promo pictures of the band had it in the background, it's all over their threads and their gear when they tour, and it's on the website in the 'live transmissions' icon. Album or EP track?
August 12, 201114 yr Yeah - coldplay's obsession or reference to the number 42 is taken from the hitchhiker's guide to the galaxy by Douglas Adams. A classic sci fi novel. one of the themes or subplots of the story is the Ultimate Answer to the Ultimate Question of Life, The Universe, and Everything. The answer was 42 which led to so many theories by fans of the book, but in the end Douglas Adams said it was just an arbitrary answer - my guess is that his point was that it's something different for everybody, our purpose, our goals, and our experiences which shape our journey in this so called life. Thus coldplay's fascination with the 42 (Those that are dead, are not dead, there just living in my head - perhaps the question of whether people are ever really dead, or always alive in one's mind and memories. Hence it's inclusion in Viva La Vida and Death and All of his friends. It's a brilliant track, and i hope they develop an arc to that song, perhaps a trilogy of sorts.
August 12, 201114 yr Down at the bottom in black: 'A speeding ghost And a shadow Luminous the road to the Sea we swam from the shallows/shadows In battle/white lightnings glow [. . .] We're gonna [. . .] only Shows(?) to the/taste'
August 12, 201114 yr I think it's funny how they broke down the title. OTO is roughly the pronunciation of the Dutch word auto (from automobile), which means car.
August 12, 201114 yr Far lower righthand corner: Under 1 Roof With a roof drawn above it :D Oh and their message on the website says the same thing: Look at the thingy at the right.. Under 1 Roof. Am I late to the party with this info?
