coldplay♪♫♪ Posted August 12, 2011 Share Posted August 12, 2011 I do not understand hurts like heaven will be in the album or not? I I did not find on the cover any male to funzzy man or the words from the song hurts like heaven. He may not be in the album? Is among my favorite songs.

Mackplay Posted August 12, 2011 Share Posted August 12, 2011 It's a MAYBE. The other ones are definite YES. The shock is that we all thought that HLH will be MX opener and it's a great song. I personally think it will end up on the album. The tracklist is very likely to be announced soon or on Sept 12 at the latest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amir.mohit Posted August 12, 2011 Share Posted August 12, 2011 deciding to omit HLH is definitely the wrong choice,,, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prjio307 Posted August 12, 2011 Share Posted August 12, 2011 I would be pretty much completely heartbroken if we don't get a studio version of Hurts Like Heaven at some point. I always assumed it was a shoe-in but now I'm not so sure. :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

prjio307 Posted August 13, 2011 Share Posted August 13, 2011 I certainly hope so. The band has been opening every show with it, I mean heck, they opened Glastonbury with it. That's gotta say something about it's album-worthiness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrman78 Posted August 13, 2011 Share Posted August 13, 2011 I know, I was so shocked when I read the Billboard article and it said HLH might not be on the album!! I can understand MTM not being on there, but HLH is just great. I really hope they include it or at least make it a b-side so we have a studio version.

Kacey Posted August 13, 2011 Share Posted August 13, 2011 They have the running man/fuzzy man tshirt on their website with the description: "...Running Man printed on the front and lists the dates from the current summer tour on the back." http://coldplay.fanfire.com/cgi-bin/WebObjects/Store.woa/wa/product?sourceCode=COLWEBUKWGBP&sku=COL52531 That better not mean that this guy's just a summer thing. I was thinking that if they put this on their site, surely they will perform the song during the real tour and that for sure this song was on the album.

Reilly Posted August 13, 2011 Share Posted August 13, 2011 I just saw another poster being outraged that this may not be appearing on the album, all of you, do yourselves a favour, listen to this song objectively, pretend its another band if you like, and realise it's a really bland song. It's not awful or anything, because if it was awful it would at least be something, it is in fact nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rafaelchampion Posted August 13, 2011 Share Posted August 13, 2011 Well, if you WANT HLH off of the album, that's already another story.:P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foxeh Posted August 13, 2011 Share Posted August 13, 2011 Im sure it will be on the Album. In a German site Chris said something like that: "Johnny playes only 2 Cords in "Hurts like Heaven" the new song of the Album" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cahliveira Posted August 13, 2011 Share Posted August 13, 2011 Well I think HLH have the chance to be out of the album =/ sadly. It's one of my favorite of the new songs... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prospector Posted August 14, 2011 Share Posted August 14, 2011 I think it will make the album and i guess it's place has been decided a while ago, it's an important part of the album's promotion, as the first thing we saw from this era was the fuzzy man and traditionally the concert's oppening is the same song that opens the album. If they take it off I'll be very surprised. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sleep Posted August 14, 2011 Share Posted August 14, 2011 They put too much work into it for it to not be on the album. They have all those backing tracks with those cool noises and the backing vocal tracks with effects on them. Also it's fucking good. It's my favorite song from the MX era. THEY MUST DO IT. Aren't the lyrics of HLH painted on the instruments? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reilly Posted August 14, 2011 Share Posted August 14, 2011 They put too much work into it for it to not be on the album. Good songs come naturally, if they put a lot of work into it that would indicate they have an average song that they are trying to make album-worthy, you can't force creativity. I still don't get why people need this to be on the album. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still don't get why people need this to be on the album. Well, great songs come naturally but you still have to work on them... Here's what I think about Hurts Like Heaven and WHY it should be on the album: Jonny owns this song, hands down. The song is so simplistic (it's basically only two chords), but Coldplay still finds ways of making it completely epic. After MX (which doesn't do much for me personally), Chris's curtain of lyrical content falls down over the music with a rainstorm of rebellious graffiti references that keep the beat of the song just as well as Jonny's hammering muffled-powerchords. The drum beat keeps a simple New Wave beat and the Bass adds the necessary texture to the soundscape (like most songs). Suddenly, the first verses end and the two line chorus comes in, "Yeah you, use your heart as a weapon, and it hurts like heaven," and BAM! The song is immersed in a 16 measure guitar solo that -to contrast with the title- sounds ohhh so good like heaven!! Jonny owns those last eight measures with a glittering descending almost-arpeggio that makes me want to scream out in happiness! The song then continues its fast paced ways until it stops for the first main verse, "Yes I feel a little bit nervous, yes I feel nervous and I cannot relax" as the synthesizers glitter just like Jonny's guitar until it explodes into the 'concrete canvas' and 'spray can soul' verse. The song continues through more of Coldplay's awesome 'Whoas!!' in a second main verse, and then repeats the chorus a couple times before it ends in a shower of glimmering synths and guitars that slowly quiet down. This is by far the happiest Coldplay song ever released. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chloe_Martin Posted August 14, 2011 Share Posted August 14, 2011 Was it dumb that when I first heard the new songs that I didn't think they would be on the actual album they would just be chosen to be on each of the singles... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cleggy Posted August 14, 2011 Share Posted August 14, 2011 It MX really is a concept album then Hurts Like Heaven wouldn't be the perfect opening track at all. There's very little plot in the song and its lyrics seem a little bit 'forced' to me as if they're trying to make it fit on the album by mentioning graffiti etc. It doesn't really introduce the story/plot and to be honest I think musically it wouldn't fit anywhere else on the album. If it wasn't the first track it would hit you as a really random fast song in the middle of the album. Sort of like Month of May on The Suburbs by Arcade Fire. To me that was one the weakest points of the album. I love the song, but maybe it doesn't fit in with the plot of the album as much as we thought.

rafaelchampion Posted August 14, 2011 Share Posted August 14, 2011 Spike could put an end on this mystery to us. He has access to the songs length. If he confirms us that Mylo Xyloto track is 0:42 length, then Hurts Like Heaven is in, because there is no MX without Hurts Like Heaven. If he says Mylo Xyloto is not 0:42 lenght, then Mylo Xyloto is not MX. So we can be afraid. SPIKE PLEASE help us! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
