I love this song so much! Once the album is out, I'm going to have it on repeat.

 

The intro, the lyric, and the longing feeling are just so perfect. When I watch their performance at SXSW, the song gave me such a strong feeling. It is indeed the perfect opener for the GS era.

Man I could listen to that intro forever. Please let me have this song already!!:bigcry:

Extended preview here. Perhaps already posted....

 

Just listened to this with headphones on, anddamn. This song is perfection.

That introooo....

That introooo....

 

Fucking heavenly °___°

Apple, you made that song 100x better girl. God bless you.

Can you guys distinguish Apple's voice from the recordings we have available?

:cool: Thanks for posting yet another nice song..God bless you too

Hahaha I know It's hard to figure out but after listening for 13591350 times each version we have, yes, we can!

Zane plays it exactly on 01:10:15. Keep going:

 

*Marvelous intro*

*Chris makes strange noise*

*Stop talking already*

"I think of you

(~ooohhh~)I haven't slept (Apple on background here)

I think I do, buuuuuuuuut(~oooohhhh~) (Apple on background here too)

I don't forget"

 

And there's more at the same point of the next verse.

(By the way, let me say, for the 1000th time I think: this song breaks me.)

She is singing the lyrics also or making a weird noise?

The ~ooohhhs~, on the background.

The "Buuuut I don't forget" is the most listenable.

 

Sorry I misspelled that. It was 01:10:15 and not 01:16:15. I fixed it.

I am not really sure that's her. Seems like the same voice that in Another's Arms. Probably a computer-based voice.

I understood from the interview that she sang during the intro, not throughout in the song.

You could be right, though. But I guess we will never know.

Well, see, it's not the entire ~ooohh~ I think it's her singing. There's the background, that sounds like a synth to me, and then there's this stronger ~oohh~ that may he ber. But you could be right you know. But I think the voice on Anothers Arms is very strong while in Always in My Head it's smooth, I find it hard to be the same person but who could know. Also, there's O in the ending of the interview too (I mean the ending part, that seems to be the real O, not Fly on, that's the beginning :confused:) where Chris said Apple sang too, there's that "Ahhhh Ahhhh" in the background that sounds like the specific voice on Always in my Head.

But hey I'm totally saying that by a radio recording. It will be easier to find out once we have studio quality. But listen again, with headphones if possible. I'm almost sure it's her.

Awesome. Thanks!

Just played this song on a guitar. Damn this song is really sad!

Sounds like Chris and Apple (and Mabel?) + bit of synth. He did say in the Zane Lowe interview that he, Apple and Mabel sang it together

Please just release this song!!! I love it! So far its my favorite on the album.

Yeah i also really want to hear the full studio version and have it on my ipod.

This song is a true gem

^This is a high quality extended clip of the song from the interview!

Anyone noticed that in the official written lyrics [PDF & Coldplay.com webpage: http://www.coldplay.com/newsdetail.php?id=1531] of this song, there are two small figures aside: one is like a ghost but with "under 1 roof" within; the other is a heart with ? I can't figure out the writing? could be sth. more revealing ?

The other is a heart with the initial letters of all the names of the wives and children of the band, Phil's included. And yes, the G is for Gwyneth.

Amazing

Now that is one fantastic live! Still a weird way for Will not using his drum on the album though..

But he uses them in AIMH though doesn't he?
