I do like the album version, it's brill, but... I think the verses need to be sped up a bit, particularly the opening couple. They just feel really slow, and seem to lack the energy from the live shows. I know it's studio, but I think speeding up the opening a bit may have helped...

Great song

HLH Cover

 

Hey guys,

 

here is my MX & HLH cover. Check it out. I hope you like it! Feedback appreciated ;)

The voice effects are so amazing and it does suit the theme of the album. It introduces that particular theme in this song aswell.

I don't like how MX is different then how they play it live. I like the xylophone throughout MX.

I love it, best album opener since Politik. :guitarist: The raw guitar, the sustaining drum beat, god i give it a 9.8/10, the live version 13/10.

Ehm, I thought the live version was much better :shrug: Chris' vocals are too tampered-with for my liking (and Major Minus is one of my favorites off MX)

overall it's great but I prefer the live version....

by the way, it's very strange listening HLH on my ipod without the MX intro.

they should keep as one single track, like Yes/Chinese Sleep Chant.

I agree, but if they did, the intro would have been too long and when it's played on the radio, it would take a while for non huge COLDPLAY fans to know that it's Hirts Like Heaven.

 

I actually love the album. Amazing. And HLH studio is amazing. It shows their artistic side. The live shows their huge amazing raw talent.

^I agree about not listening to HLH without MX. :)

HLH is probably THE BEST SONG on MX. It ROCKS. Coldplay have shown us that once again, they can kick some serious musical ass.

i think the studio and the live version are both amazing , but this one is the best

I previously found it annoying with all this production effects, but now it's one of my favourite from the album, and I'd say it's better than the live version. It rocks !

Yeah, almost two months after I first heard the studio version I'm still addicted (and even getting more addicted) to this song. My absolute fav of the moment.

It definately grows on you :) one of my favourites on Mylo Xyloto

Tis a good song.

I think it's freaking awesome! :D

Makes me feel a little bit nervous... :dance: and super excited!

I personally think one of Chris Martin's best songs lyrically.

Bloody AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :D

Same here!!

i love it too. it gives me the sense of space and it's so playful. really gets my mood sky high. so does the whole album. :)

it's great indeed, tom. i saw it the other day and my jaw dropped. :)

I'm glad that I hadn't watched the summer festivals before the album release. I see a lot of people complaining about the studio versions.

I heard all of the songs (minus the singles) for the first time when I got the album and I fell for MX instantly. :heart: HLH and CB were the main reasons why.

much better than the album version.
