Coldplay will release track "Atlas" from "The Hunger Games: Catching Fire" soundtrack on 6/8 Sept

[lucyb]

Wow I LOVE it!! It does remind me a bit of 'Luca', which Chris wrote for Natalie Imbruglia. Both beautiful melodies.

[Coeurli]

So what's everyone doing for the next three hours?

Well if you must know, I'm currently setting up my printer :cheesy:

[DieProspekt]

Was super confused, it became available in NZ last night and I was able to download it, but when I wanted to write a review it said it's not available in NZ yet... Didn't leak it partly due to a dodgy internet connection and some strict anti-piracy laws here in NZ.

 

According to the new CP post it'll only be out here in 20 minutes- my guess is it went on sale here by accident somehow... not complaining haha.

 

Anyway not sure if this is where we vote but it gets a 10/10 from me. The melancholic feel suites the movie well, and that final chorus is just epic. The guitar/ piano riffs at the end brings the song to a beautiful end! I love how the chorus isn't repeated too much, and the build up of the song.

 

Got high hopes for LP6!

[LoversInJapan]

Atlas has already been made 'megahit' on the dutch radiostation 3fm =>

They'll play it every radioshow for a week, woot!

Yeah I can't find it either, they're probably uploading it to iTunes. I hope I'll be able to buy it before I head off to school.

Hey, I'm relatively new on the forum and have just been mostly lurking.

 

Just heard Atlas in full for the first time, and I agree with you guys, it's absolutely awesome and does not need time to grow on you. Really beautiful build-up. Not disappointed! It's ok with me if this is a taste of LP6.

Not up in iTunes for me yet and I live in the US. :confused:

Official lyrics (from Coldplay.com):

 

Some saw the sun

Some saw the smoke

Some heard the gun

Some bent the bow

Sometimes the wire

Must tense for the note

We're caught in the fire, say oh

We're about to explode

 

Carry your world

I'll carry your world

Carry your world

I'll carry your world

 

Some far away

Some search for gold

Some dragon to slay

Heaven we hope

Is just up the road

Show me the way, lord,

Because I

I'm about to explode

 

Carry your world

I'll carry your world

Carry your world

I'll carry your world

Carry your world

And all your hurt

 

Carry your world

Carry your world

[filiprasmusson]

just bought it. I love it so much...

[ashleyMN28]

I'm in the US and it's still not on iTunes for me. :(

Just noticed that a snippet of the bass riff sounds a lot like this bit in Paradise:

(bah-dah-bam!) Awesome!

[Cheese Nip 2]

Just heard the full thing in Absolute Radio! After only one listen I can say I love this song. It's got a little bit of each era in it. I hope LP6 follows the same kind of sound as this. That would be a great!

 

One question though. Do we know who produced it (like, was Brain Eno involved)? Because that could be the same person whose producing LP6, if they have indeed started already.

It was produced by Coldplay with Daniel Green and Rik Simpson.

Those 2 are practically members of the band for a while, no wonder we got a good ol Coldplay song :lol:

[theprospekt]

Comment from a friend who didn't know this is going in Hunger Games: "It's really good. It could totally go in a movie."

[Coeurli]

Coldplay and Catching Fire are trending worldwide on Twitter :)

[Ronnie O Sullivan]

My first thoughts after listening to Atlas twice:

 

1. Have to hear it together with the movie

2. Its not that catchy as i hoped it would be

3. The "carry your world"-Part is a bit to repetetive to me

4. Jonnys guitar part isnt that "epic" as many describe it

5. In the end,its a very relaxing song and that is a fact which helps me to forget about

the negative aspects...
