With all of the other songs not seeing daylight for now like Car Kids and Golden Arrow, do you think that following MX's release and maybe before the boys go on tour, that there will be a EP just like the Viva Era?

Q. I've been wondering this for a long while now as I'm sure many others have, it was on Chris' shirt, the home page background. What does Car Kids mean? Is it a lyric or a song on the new album? Thanks Oracle!!

 

 

The Oracle replies:

 

Yeah, as far as I know it was a song pencilled in for inclusion on Mylo Xyloto but didn't make it on to the final tracklisting. We may hear it one day, who knows?

 

Honestly I got the idea from this post :uhoh:

Car Kids, Great Expectations and Tommorow are songs that didn't make the cut. There are maybe more.

 

I think those 3 songs could be b-sides to singles.

I agree. I think they will be b-sides

And Golden Arrow, that is on the MX artwork wall after all.

There's also Rex which some believe is recorded, and Wedding Bells could make an appearance, no one really knows...

I hope so. I couldn't imagine my Coldplay catalogue without Life in Technicolor II or Glass of Water. Not to mention Postcards from Far Away is a nice little interlude.

forget Wedding Bells!

I don't think there will be an EP again,if there are really only these 3 unreleased songs after the release of MX. They will be b-sides in my opinion...

With the Prospects March EP, Lost! And Lovers in Japan osaka sun mix weren't entirely new songs, PCFFA was less than a minute, that is already whittled down to 5. Throw Moving to Mars on an EP with other discards, you could match PM pretty easily.

forget Wedding Bells!

Unfortunately Wedding Bells and Don Quixote wont make it in the MX Era

 

Someone did point out the the 0:44 second MX might be getting the Life in Technicolor Treatment so maybe...., maybe an EP

I think b-sides are more likely. Coldplay have only ever released a post-album EP once, it's certainly not the standard practice for them to release an EP, so don't bet on it.

I would love if they did. Prospekt's March is one of the best albums. :)

 

MX --> MX ii?! That would be amazing. And all these other rumoured songs would be nice - Golden Arrow, Car Kids, Great Expectations, Tomorrow, Under One Roof (or whatever that was we saw on the graffiti), Alien Radio, Moving to Mars...not to mention the oodles of unreleased songs that might not be as bad as Chris made them out to be.

Exactly! :D

 

Honestly I think It might be called Car Kids EP and then it'll open with MX 2 (as opposed to ii cause that was the Viva Era :P)

Definitly an EP after LP5.

I'm also thinking they might take a long break after touring so if they were stopping for a while they'll give us an EP

I love the prospect of an EP sometime after the album!

I also believe there will be a break after the 2012 tour. In the meanwhile a live DVD and of course a best of (EMI you know).

 

I dont think there will be such a propekt's MArch EP. Car Kids and maybe some other song (2 or 3) will be B-sides. Which leaves this ERA with 11 album tracks, 3 instrumentals and 3 or 4 B-sides. A total of 17 songs. I think Coldplay didn't make more.

I can't be the only one that's thought this, but have they written instrumentals for the album or have they converted fully-fledged songs?

Yeah Car Kids, Great Expectations, Tomorrow, Golden Arrow and maybe more...

I'm still mad how See You Soon, Daylight, and the other sons weren't on the Live 2003 CD -_-

Yeah Car Kids, Great Expectations, Tomorrow, Golden Arrow and maybe more...

 

Rex?

Rex?

 

Yes. And maybe some kind of stuff like Mylo Xyloto II or something like that?

Remember that interview by Chris where he said that Prospekt's March was a treat for their hardcore fans? Well, either in b-side or EP form, I think maybe these songs will see the day of light one day.

100K and Aiko also seem to be appearing everywhere....

 

so we have:

 

-Car Kids

-Great Expectations

-Tomorrow

-Golden Arrow

-Rex

-100K

-Aiko

 

enough for a really loooong EP :)

Tomorrow, Golden Arrow and Car Kids are written on the mural. Unfortunately I can't see Great Expectations or something more anywhere.

Not only do I think it's possible, I think it is very likely!:)

I really do think it'll happen, with Car Kids, Tomorrow, and Great Expectations being DEFINITES. The rest are maybes. I also hope Wedding Bells and Spanish Rain make it, but I am pretty sure they won't
