i love the name...it reminds me the greek mythology :dazzled:

 

God I love this one too. Before this Paradise was the best name for a song but Atlas... has to take the cake.

 

Unlike

 

Every Teardrop is A Waterfall

Us Against the World

Don't Let it Break Your Heart

 

It's short, it's original... and it just feels cool to say 'Atlas'.

Atlas... The name makes it sound like a song from the Parachutes or Rush era but the lyrics make it sound more Viva-like.

:wacky:

What's that symbol at the bottom, next to the initials? Looks like a ghost with a heart

 

no matter if the movie is good or not, I have to watch it just because of knowing this song 4 days earlier!

Looks like a heart with the word "Sam" in it and then a ghost :thinking:

I think, don't quote me if I'm wrong, that the 's' is really a 'G' for Gwyn, the 'A's for Apple, and 'M' for Moses.

 

Seems like something Chris would do.

Lucky for you, the song is being released months before the movie!

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.

Good point! I also hope it'll have a Moving to Mars sound, just epic. It might just be mid-tempo.

 

I don't think it'll be quiet though- the lyrics 'We're about to explode' makes it seem like we can expect a big sound.

Maybe not.... I could picture dark piano ballad that slowly gets more powerful and gains more tension. Wouldn't that make sense? Especially when he sings, "We're about to explode." Then again, there is a good chance that it will be a big sound. But does the chorus sound like one that could be echoed and chanted. "Carry your world, I'll carry your world." Sounds like something sang softly. Idk, maybe I just want a dark ballad from Coldplay. Been too long since Amsterdam :P

Fuck this, I want Car Kids

:lol:

 

 

Looks like a heart with the word "Sam" in it and then a ghost :thinking:

 

I'd rather like to know what was it the coffee mug on the left...

I'm glad you brought that up!! Alright to the most important question about this song is who dies the mug belong too?? Hmmm....

GREAT news. I'm so excited! and the lyrics are pretty good. terrible movie though wish they had done it for something else; like Cloud Atlas or Elysium

Lovely surprise, love Hunger Games. Love Coldplay, love a new song. :heart:

I'm a dude but still..

 

^That

 

I cannot freaking wait!!!!!!!

Reading the lyrics makes me think it's a quiet song :D

I want a Politik song, dark, heavy, and soft at the same time.

 

And Atlas is since 42 the most awesome songname they've came up with.

 

THIS

 

How many days before we can listen to it?

i think the song will be at least 4minutes long, and not a slow song. More like Life In Technicolor 2, but not in the same style.

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

 

Sorry it was a typo :embarrassed:

The title and the lyrics make me think about something like this:

 

[ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NBPHLJQTC80]White Lies - Heaven Wait - YouTube[/ame]

 

(P.S.: LISTEN TO Big TV, new White Lies album, it's GORGEOUS!

Worth Listening:

•There goes our love again

•First Time Caller

•Be Your Man)
