rafaelchampion Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 Warning: This is a huge post :lol: I really wanted to give you guys the tweets with their exact date with day, month and everything but twitter didn't help me =/ From the moment I've seen this man, I knew something huge was about to come. It's 9 months since Mylo Xyloto was released, but it's story is older, and I am one of the fortunate people that followed it since the rumors of a new Coldplay album started to become strong. Today, when I stop and remember all the things Mylo Xyloto era has given to us, I feel very nostalgic, but the most special thing was to receive all the news and solve the puzzles with you, Coldplayng guys. So, I decided to make a timeline, from the first rumors to today. Let's have fun "coldplay He's back! Roadie #42 updates us on the recording sessions for Coldplay's new album... http://bit.ly/42blog122 A About 1 years ago" ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "coldplay New Roadie #42 blog, in which he discusses the importance of studio tea and shows Chris and Guy playing xylophone http://bit.ly/r42b124 A About 1 years ago" [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pwTS2RKPHN8]Chris and Guy xylophone duet (Roadie #42 - Blog #124)- YouTube[/ame] ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "coldplay Christmas Lights.

The era concept starts to flow. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "coldplay At our first photoshoot for a long time, pH http://twitpic.com/51n5nx About 1 years ago " ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "coldplay I turn the music up / I got my records on / I shut the world outside until the lights come on About 1 years ago" ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "AATKTDATKANUMMFAL About 1 years ago" [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9_uSoTlHboc]AATKTDATKANUMMFAL - YouTube[/ame] ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "ITTMUIOARTTAHIIS About 1 years ago" [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=km0etEomzr8]ITTMUIOARTTAHIIS - YouTube[/ame] ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "ITTMUIGMROFUTRSARSDWTSAGDIRBACTAFS About 1 years ago" [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=brgUD5c50oo]ITTMUIGMROFUTRSARSDWTSAGDIRBACTAFS - YouTube[/ame] ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Trapezes About 1 years ago" [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LU5fk8i30Lg]Trapezes - YouTube[/ame] ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "And finally... About 1 years ago" [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qSWPg9DGCHw]And finally... - YouTube[/ame] ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- And then, the big announcement! "Enough teasing... we have a new song called Every Teardrop Is A Waterfall. Hear it on Friday. See artwork/lyrics now http://cldp.ly/etisaw About 1 years ago" ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "coldplay Every Teardrop Is A Waterfall is about to make its radio debut - listen right now at http://cldp.ly/r1livenow #ETIAW About 1 years ago" ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This was one of the best moments ever. I remember it was a really cold day here in Brazil (yes, it's possible). It was 4AM. I still have the record of the first airplay. It's 30 minutes of a bit of Coldplay's story and some live songs, then ETIAW. Loved it from the first moment. But the best was still to come. Rock Im Park was their first festival after ETIAW and I don't remember exactly if we were expecting new songs aside ETIAW, but they came.

Alien Radio Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 That's awesome, thank you! :D And btw, I remember that the photoshoot happened on the 23rd May 2011, ETIAW hints started on the 24th May and ended on the 30th May (one hint every day, except those three gifs on the 25th May) with the single announcement on the 31st May. I know this because I did a review of the month of May:http://www.coldplaying.com/forum/showthread.php?t=91296 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
getithom Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 This is great! Thank you. :) I remember the ETIAW running man more than anything. I was on a trip with my senior class, and we were leaving to some mall. I checked Facebook and voila -- new Coldplay. That was fun. I loved getting to see new videos/GIFs each day until graduation.

FJK_12 Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 I remember the first listen of ETIAW live on radio the most - it was the most amazing feeling ever hearing it, words can't describe how I felt. I remember they played it twice in a row, I then listened to it on repeat probably about 30 times in one day haha. Still one of my favourite songs from this era :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MosesTheMarshmallow Posted July 22, 2012 Share Posted July 22, 2012 Great work! I remember listening to the original recording of POC and trying so hard to figure out everything about it. In retrospect, it's so sloppy - too much synth/little guitar, Chris's singing is not great and he mucks the lyrics in a couple places; although the drums + bass was interesting. Still sounds good but it's so interesting to go from then to now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
l0wxo2 Posted July 22, 2012 Share Posted July 22, 2012 Thanks so much for taking the time to post this! I remember the teasing you tube videos for ETIAW like it was yesterday, it was so exciting! Then staying up all night to hear it on the radio the night before my college graduation, and then knowing the words to the new songs already when I saw them at Lollapalooza and ACL last year. Thanks again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MosesTheMarshmallow Posted July 22, 2012 Share Posted July 22, 2012 I don't remember when/where this was from, but I remember R42 saying something about UIF, cool live guitar work by Jonny on Paradise (which really is nice, the extra slides), and the "violently life affirming" nature of DLIBYH. I think this was after the ACL taping/festival. That was also a fun time. I find it hilarious how that was everyone's favorite new song -- and now it's easily our least favorite, as a whole. :lol: :lol: Too true mate...although in my opinion the current live version, disregarding the silliness of Rihanna being a video, sounds the very best. The Chris dance during the middle of the song is pretty epic in the Rock Im Park version. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Revolverwin Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 Thanks for the breakdown of events! it's almost a year since the release of mylo and still surprises never stop coming.
