This song is pure perfection. For now definitely fav of the album.

This song is absolutely beautiful. It's so emotional. It's even more incredible when you put it in context. Heartbreaking. I'm not proud of it but I was crying like a baby when I listened to it last night.

Well I'm proud of you ! haha :)

I've been crying a bit too, but it was a whole context with Chris starting to tear up and saying how tricky it was for him to listen to this one.

The part where Chris sings higher. Totally kills me.

I totally get it :cry:

I can't wait to hear the full version of the studio track, from what we've heard of it it's going to be utterly beautiful. The piano is stunning, and I do think it sounds like being alone and night and looking up into the stars. And I think it will also mean even more to the fans who heard Chris get so emotional about it, because then it has that added emotional and personal resonance.

It's not something to be sad about. It's amazing how a song can get you in such an emotional way.

Another thing about this one, thematically it is very similar to Up With The Birds. In fact, it turns UWTB in to not only an absolutely stunning closing track but also a really good segue in to this record.

Coldplay's openers and closers (except for Twisted Logic maybe) are something very special.

When the opener starts, you know something unique is to come. See Life in Technicolor, see Politik, I mean, the entire album expectation is made up when these songs start and when the closers come, you know all of what you've predicted you'd feel, really happened and the closer comes to end it up epically. See Death and all His Friends, Amsterdam, O.

Can't wait to hear the full song.

This thread's name was the biggest prediction the world has ever seen.

 

Oh man!

 

Is there anyone who has something bad to say about this song?

Nah, I know that's not anyone, just kidding.

Fly On is really amazing, wanna hear the whole thing soon! And also the O thing with Apple and her friend and the O Reprise thing with Moses?

 

Nice thread!

Best song I've heard off the album so far. Immense.

I'm astounded more wasn't written about this tune from the lucky few who attended their 360 sound stage recording. From what we've heard, it's phenomenal.

^JUST YES, HOW COULDN'T THEY TELL US? CHRIS ASKED?

Wow.. this just utterly killed me. I have less and less doubt that this will be in my top 2 Coldplay Albums, maybe even number 1.. Beautiful song

Stunned, absolutely stunning. This song has the capability of topping Amsterdam. This might be one of their best...

I listened to the interview again this morning and I cried when I listened to this song. Devastatingly beautiful. A masterpiece. Might be my favorite Coldplay song ever once I hear the full studio version.

Do you think there might be melody rising in the end of the song?

Perhaps... but piano only or full band one?

I can't wait to hear the studio version of this song! The clip on the interview with Zane last night sounded amazing and Chris's reaction made it even more special.

Man, I can't wait for this song!!

 

I'm thinking it's going to be one of my favorites!

 

Sounded SOO freaking good on the BBC Radio 1 interview!!

I must admit, it made me tear up as well. Possibly the most beautiful song Chris has ever written!

Really interested in listening to this song, have not had a chance to but all the reviews have been really good, is it in iTunes already so that I get a chance to listen to it?
