I'm not crazy about the title, Atlas doesnt sound special to me. The lyrics though really sound like a coldplay song:

"Some saw the sun

Some saw the smoke

Some heard the gun

Some bent the bow

Sometimes the wire must tense for the note

Caught in the fire say oh"

 

If the complete song is as good as these few lines its gonna be a winner i think.

The lyrics make me think of Poppyfields...

The title is a 9/10 for me, the lyrics are an 8.5/10, so I'm hoping the song will be something I listen to for a long time, even without the connection to the movie. If it becomes a hit they could perform this at the Oscars like Adele performed for "Skyfall" last year.

All the lyrics are there. Just click the link.

 

I know but the lines i posted are the best ones in my opinion. And i was referring to the finished song not just the lyrics.

The lyrics make me think of Poppyfields...

 

Poppyfields hasn't got any lyrics at all :smug:

 

YEAAAAH COLDPLAY.

 

Atlas sounds as a good title, I expect a song like Politik, don't know why.

:o Sorry...i mean Prospekt's March

I'm used to the "t" instead of the "s", Atlante sounds better than Atlans ahahaha

 

Now I can't stop calling it Atlante, I hate you. :laugh3:

There's no "n" in it :wtf:

Now I can't stop calling it Atlante, I hate you. :laugh3:

 

:angel:

Woo

The film is really good :nod:

Damn! The title gives me a Parachutes feel for some reason. Awesome!

 

Coldplay just gave me the best birthday present, August 26 hell yeah! :awesome: :lol:

They wouldn't make so much noize about it if the song wasn't on the movie, would they?

 

:shrug: dunno. I know people were looking forward to Abraham's Daughter which got a release before the film came out and it was only in the end credits of the movie. I'm sure the Taylor Swift song had major marketing and I don't remember that being in the movie at all (maybe also post credits I don't know). I seem to recall the music in the movie was orchestrated, but anyone whose a fan correct me if I'm wrong.

I hope the song has a different sound from what coldplay has been doing, maybe some psychedelic thing or something spacier like MTM or X&Y album... that would be cool! the lyrics aren't that great but they're okay... reminds me of poppyfields and UFO.

This is fantastic! But I think since the song is the first track on the soundtrack, it will be neither to slow or to fast. I think it will gradually build up. I think it will be a Cross between Moving To Mars/Up With Birds/Everything's Not Lost/Politik

But that's what I think

I am actually so excited. I've been waiting all year for the new hunger games and some new Coldplay stuff, so this together has really made me happy!

 

In my opinion Coldplay don't really repeat themselves but if we were to compare then I'm expecting this to be most similar to the AROBTTH stuff.

GODS! That was so all of a sudden. I was not prepared for this!

 

MUST..... ADVANCE... TO 26/09.

MUST..... TIME... TRAVEL!

Aaah exited ! here's a thought, maybe the song has also been inspired by the recent movie 'Cloud Atlas' and the Cloud Atlas sextet (a piano piece) . Which I would recommend to anyone by the way, both. Very inspiring.

Awesome news! Hope this is like the "Christmas Lights" of the LP6 era, with an official single from the album only a couple months away.

 

I feel like it's going to be a Sleeping Sun type of song.

Awesome news! Hope this is like the "Christmas Lights" of the LP6 era, with an official single from the album only a couple months away.

 

This is what I'm hoping too. If it plays out exactly the same, then the lead single for LP6 should come out around January or February.

 

I'm getting a Glass of Water vibe from the lyrics and song title. :D

Maybe like 42 or politik. WHERE CAN WE BET ON THIS?! LOL

Do you think that Atlas will be a short song? Based on the lyrics?

To be honest, the length of the lyrics make it seem like this song ma be pretty short, unless there's a lot of breaks in between and really long notes. And I have to agree that it seems like it will be a quieter song than what was on MX. Hopefully this means that Coldplay will be announcing more information on their LP6, and maybe if this song is good enough, then they will include it on the album, if it flows with the rest of the songs that they've recorded.

 

Seeing as this is the Christmas Lights of the LP6 era (being a standalone and all), I highly doubt it.

Do you think that Atlas will be a short song? Based on the lyrics?

 

Songs seem a lot shorter when you just see the lyrics.

 

Somewhere up above the stars

The wreckage of a universe floats past

Somewhere up above my heart

A tiny little seed is sown, a government is overthrown,

Who knows when we'll be coming home at last

 

And I heard it on the radio that one day we'll be living in the stars

And I heard it on a TV show that somewhere up above and in my heart

They'll be tearing us apart, maybe moving us to Mars

We won't see the earth again

And the seconds just remain unchanged

 

8 to 9, 9 to 10

We are meeting for the first time

We might never meet again, you and me

We are meeting for the first time can't you see

7 6 5 4 3

We are meeting for the first time

Singing this space symphony

 

They'll be tearing us apart, maybe moving us to Mars,

Past the satellites and stars, they're moving us to Mars

 

MTM is 4:19 long.

 

Atlas will probably be 3:30 to 4:00 long.
