Again, no B-side. Yo, Coldplay, what's with that? :(

Loving the Richard Hawley reference on the single cover, bottom right

"Tonight... the streets are ours"

Well, I didn't really expect any b-sides but I'm kind of bummed that none of the singles have had a vinyl release like ETIAW (and I guess UFO). But I guess to do that they would need b-sides so...

 

Still, I think HLH is my favorite song on MX.

Since this is probably the last single off the album and there are still no B sides (besides MTM which was forever ago), I think this points even more to an EP.

For Princess of China, they could have done the radio edit on side a and the acoustic version on side b. That's all I know right now.

B-sides or not, as soon as this makes a physical release, I'm buying it! It's my 2nd favorite song on MX next to UFO!

or not?

 

So you really believe that it took them about 3 years to come up with only 14 songs, and that everything else is just so bad that they won't dare release it?

^ I don't think evrything else is bad, but maybe they just don't want to release it

^:nod:

 

They did add an acoustic version of PoC after the release...

^^:nod: Hoping they release an acoustic and instrumental version of Hurts Like Heaven.

Instrumental pleaze

We'll probably just get a remix, like with the other singles...

^But all the promos came with an instrumental version.

Want HLH Promo now!

^ ETIAW didn't :P, but an instrumental would be nice (specially if the backing vocals were still on the track)

I believe that once they stop making performing and making records they could possibly release a never before heard type albums that's just a dream of mine :p

If anyone's got the radio edit, could you pm me? :)

Coldplay Release ‘Hurts Like Heaven’ as Next Single

by: Scott Shetler Yesterday

 

 

Following the successful collabo with Rihanna, ‘Princess of China,’ Coldplay are issuing yet another single from their multi-platinum album ‘Mylo Xyloto.’ ‘Hurts Like Heaven’ — the track on which Chris Martin sings, “You use your heart as a weapon / And it hurts like Heaven” – will be the next Coldplay single to impact airwaves.

 

‘Heaven’ is one of the most complex tracks on ‘Mylo Xyloto,’ with intricately-layered backing vocals, pulsing keyboards, and rushing guitar melodies.

 

Martin speeds up the pace of his delivery when he sings, “On every street, every car, every surface a name / Tonight the streets are ours / And we’re writing and saying / Don’t let them take control / No we won’t let them take control.”

 

Martin also sings that he’s “armed with a spray can soul,” a line that could have inspired the album’s gritty, graffiti-style artwork.

 

Coldplay have already scored three Top 20 pop hits from ‘Mylo Xyloto,’ with ‘Princess of China,’ ‘Every Teardrop is a Waterfall,’ and ‘Paradise.’ Their U.S. tour continues through Aug. 11 before they return to Europe.

Anyone know when a promo might become available, and where Id get one?

^ PoC's promo was alredy around internet by the time the radio edit was released on digital stores like amazon

I love the artwork, I love Hurts Like Heaven :dazzled:

 

I want the Starbucks Single Version :cry:

Does anybody else see a version of the Running Man in the HLH artwork?

^ i do! its between the V and E in Heaven:D

^I think it's soo cool of them to do that!

Sorry if this has been mentioned before but do we know when the video will be out? Tomorrow? Or is it just the single?
