Does anyone know what this is? It sounds like really high pitched, squirrel voices all muffled and talking in the background. I have no idea what it actually is, but I love it!

.

Ah cool. I hadn't read anything about it.

Reminds the voice of a child.

Baby aliens!

I can't listen to this intro without thinking of a horny nasty dick seeker kitty.

I love it. It's gorgeous!

CAR KID CAR KID CAR KID OMGZZZ

 

:blank:

I love the sound

I have a feeling it's Chris' voice just really distorted.

 

But I like to think of it as a chorus of acid-dropping chipmunks.

I love the song, probably my favorite of the album but that sound is kind of scary, it's like evil chipmunks!!!

Q. Dear Oracle,

I heard Charlie Brown on YouTube! It's awesome! But there's an Asian sounding part! It sounds real good but I cant figure what it really is...

 

The Oracle replies:

 

In the intro to Charlie Brown the sound you can hear is actually Chris' vocal speeded up.

One of my favourite intros to any song ever. Sounds like a huge claim to make but the weird chipmunks sound and the guitar building up is just superb.

For me Charlie Brown is probably in the top 2 Coldplay tracks of all time along with Amsterdam. It is epic. The intro and bridge with Chris Martin's voice sped up is pure genius.

:uhoh:

Ummm....wow. To be fair not one of the things I expected to read but there you go.

If that is his voice sped up, what is he saying?

all the boys, all the girls, all the madness in the world,

 

repeat w/ all the madness that occurs

 

all the highs all the lows

 

as the room is spinning, oh

I thought it's weird but I was thinking about chipmunks too! :D But yeah, I like it. It's one of my fave tracks from MX.

This is the most perfect song on the album. Although, I think they got all songs right in terms of production apart from Up In Flames. I still cant get into the bass, it should just be the tick-tock drums from ACL; the song is too quiet and calm. It sounds a bit like it can't decide whether it wants to be a festival classic like Fix You and The Scientist or a disco/nightclub dance tune!!

But when the guitar kicks in it drowns out the bass a bit which is good ;)

Guys, see here, I slowed it down for you ;)

It's Chris' voice, speeded up and high pitched. The oracle said that months ago I think

 

Wow, nice , thanks for the info, I had no idea and I was really wondering what was that.

makes sense
