^ Coldplay's finale tracks are always among the best on their respective albums, so I have high expectations for Up With the Birds :wacky:

 

Everything's Not Lost / Life Is for Living ---> Yes.

 

Amsterdam ---> Oh heck yes.

 

Twisted Logic / 'Til Kingdom Come ---> :nod:

 

Death and All His Friends / The Escapist ---> do I even need to say anything? :dazzled:

 

Oh... Thank you. Yes, now I'm PSYCHED for this song as well!

:dazzled:

Betting this is instrumental. If there is only 45 minutes on the album, then there is 12 minutes remaining for the 5 songs we haven't heard. I bet three of these are instrumental (under 2 minutes).

 

I think Up with the Birds is going to be instrumental because it would just sound right. If the album stars off with MX (like Life in Technicolour) then I bet it will end with a little instrument send off. (Like Death and All of his Friends did).

 

I am going to be dissepointed if this is true, and I have a good feeling it is.

Up with the birds = God, heaven, clouds, life, death, after life, angels, etc. stuff?

Im pretty sure song times leaked. The instrumentals are MX, MMIX, and AHT

Yeah thats what I think it will be about :)

Don't know why but I think that this song will have an "etheral" feel :shrug:

This track should be a very intense, or sad, or even happy one. It's the closing track for the album, so it will probably be the best

Im willing to bet this song has the "just look up" lyics :)

^ "just look up to the sky, even if it all falls"?

 

I had completely forgotten about those lyrics :wacky:

I became very excited, I think it will be another great closer. If I read this it reminds me of Amsterdam, but with violins.

 

Up With The Birds

Well, not really no, because final song Up With The Birds avoids the clichéd overblown ending, its brilliance, like much of Mylo Xyloto, hidden within the places the songs don't go. "The birds, they sang at break of day/Start again, I hear them say" sings Chris Martin over stark piano chords at the beginning, before an almost overwhelming burst of strings come to the fore. Then, the whole thing stops and starts again, before strummed acoustic guitars and gentle, almost lackadaisically-played drums usher the album to a peaceful, calming close.

"The birds, they sang at break of day/Start again, I hear them say"

Incredible!

^Love those lyrics! :)

CANNOT WAIT FOR UWTB!!

Yeah I am also excited for this song solely because of the title :D. I feel like it is going to be one of those slow mellow songs like The Scientist of Fix You :)

"The birds, they sang at break of day/Start again, I hear them say" are lyrics from Leonard Cohen's song Anthem; I'm curious if he contributed anything else to the song or if that's the only reason why he's listed as a writer.
