Ennosuke 0 Posted May 12, 2014 Amazing song! The piano is just wonderful. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bdevil89 28 Posted May 12, 2014 Yeah, the piano is just classic coldplay - definitely feels related to atlas's piano line. I love the song, but i'm kind of mixed bc i really wanted Jonny to play one of his classic shoegaze guitar lines more prominently (kind of like amsterdam, but I think with sky full of stars coming before it - I think they made their exclamation point and then with this song - sort of a coda... beautiful, simple, but such an emotional and ethereal song. What an album, and that instrumental with Apple's and Chris' voice - can't get any more beautiful than that - don't know if we have to thank Brian Eno's influence on them, but always loved how they liked ambient music (I think of their rendition of yellow in live 2003 dvd, or even how they open the concert with Eno's track). Regardless, this album just punctuates an another amazing trilogy for Coldplay - both a revolution and an evolution for them - we are so lucky to be able to witness this over the past 15 yrs or so. Incredible, Going back for the third listen (1st listen, didn't even realize this visual animation for the album, and really loved it... 2nd time with visual album - words cant' even describe the feeling - I felt like I was in another dimension of being. Thank you Coldplay and Phil!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Vivastraw 0 Posted May 12, 2014 Is it Apple singing "Don't ever let go" at the outro? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

the_escapist 545 Posted May 12, 2014 One of the best Coldplay songs ever. Period. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jalapeno789 0 Posted May 12, 2014 Is it Apple singing "Don't ever let go" at the outro? Yes that is what Chris said his dad used to tell him or something (In the Zane Lowe interview). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

A RUSH OF VIDA 0 Posted May 12, 2014 I read a user say that the song may be about Gwyneths miscarriage and now that i listen to it more... they could be right Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
the_escapist 545 Posted May 12, 2014 Why is the gap between Fly On and O so long? At least on iTunes first play. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ctc799 4 Posted May 13, 2014 Why is the gap between Fly On and O so long? At least on iTunes first play. O is shorter than what's listed on iTunes; maybe that's not the beginning of O, and there's just an awkward cut there? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LoserJBo 0 Posted May 13, 2014 I wonder if the gap between Fly On and O is a lot longer and they just shorten it for the First Play. Basically an extra 2 minute gap. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Haruka 458 Posted May 13, 2014 All I know is when can hear O + O part 2, I will be like every teardrop is a waterfall FOR SURE Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest howyousawtheworld Posted May 13, 2014 Fly On pierces my heart. ASTONISHINGLY beautiful, it is the best song they've recorded since Amsterdam. It's music like this that makes you want to go out and create beauty around you. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RiotFever 1 Posted May 13, 2014 Isn't this song supposed to be 7 minutes long? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Blockflote 41 Posted May 13, 2014 Isn't this song supposed to be 7 minutes long? This, I only have 5:23! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
the_escapist 545 Posted May 13, 2014 This, I only have 5:23! It depends on the time of the gap between Fly On and O. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Blockflote 41 Posted May 13, 2014 It depends on the time of the gap between Fly On and O. But then, why it's shorter than the album itself if it's come from iTunes? Don't get it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Famous Old Painter 189 Posted May 13, 2014 The iTunes stream cuts out 2 minutes of silence. I think it's better that way. Both parts of this song are utterly beautiful. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Durk 51 Posted May 13, 2014 Out of every song - and I love every song - I think I love O the most. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TraceOddity 26 Posted May 13, 2014 Just listenning to O now...and of course I'm Loving it! It hasn't surprised me as much as some of the other tracks, but it's so beautiful.:nice: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rrpjdisc 4 Posted May 13, 2014 Oh my god it's so beautiful, I'm so glad to be able to listen to it in full now!!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lndnsky 2 Posted May 13, 2014 This one is utter perfection. I put it on repeat and I can't stop. And Apple's voice at the end... Beautiful! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Abifail 0 Posted May 13, 2014 The instrumental at the end is fucking perfect. The bass riff is like an old school Death Cab for Cutie bass line and the synths and harmonies are like Sigur Ros. It's beautiful. I can see why Chris said it was the best piece of music they've done. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Strawberry Swinger 56 Posted May 13, 2014 Potential wuss moment, but I woke up with this song in my head, and after I got out of bed I played it and f^ck, I shed a tear. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
