Nature Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 So anyone notice how, when they played Oceans, it was around 3:16. The track on iTunes says it's 5:21. Maybe this means there's a hidden track in Oceans, as well?? Yes that could be. But does nobody have a link for me to listen to Oceans? i havent heard it.

CharlieBrown Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 Oceans (first few listens) It is a beautiful song, with some of the best lyrics from Ghost Stories yet. I'm glad this isn't the full song though, the album version is more than 5 minutes long. This live version feels a bit rushed, like there could be more opening or conclusion. All length gripes aside, it's probably the third best song from what we've heard so far. (AIMH, Midnight, Oceans, Magic, AA) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nature Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 ok now i've heard it, expected something better because of all those really positive reactions. Little boring track. but maybe the studio version is better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaes Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 Oceans sounds like a "Spies ii". I love it. Anyway, it's an acoustic version, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest kmm1482 Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 Wow.... Just wow!! This is straight out of between Parachutes and Rush of Blood b-side (definitely NOT a diss). On par with Moses, See You Soon, Animals, and Murder. This song has put me over the top!!!! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jc90 Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 In case no one posted the lyrics yet, here they are: Wait for your caller The call never came Ready to follow Ready to claim I'm ready for it all, love I'm ready for the change Meet under ......? Meet me again, in the rain In the rain Behind the walls, love I'm trying to change I'm ready for it all, love I'm ready for the pain So meet under blue skies Meet me again, in the rain In the rain In the rain The rain Got to find yourself alone in this world Got to find yourself alone Meet under sun and, ?

Haruka Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 It's a beautiful intimate song, reminds me of U.F.O. and Sparks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
squibby92 Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 This has been my favourite track so far that I've heard from GS. Thought it was stunning and so laid back, I agree with what a lot of people are saying, that this is the closest to the Parachutes album we've heard. Hearing this today just got me even more excited for the new album So anyone notice how, when they played Oceans, it was around 3:16. The track on iTunes says it's 5:21. Maybe this means there's a hidden track in Oceans, as well?? I agree, either that or there's a longer intro and outro to the song Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skypala Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 It felt like the end was kinda sudden-- maybe there will be a longer instrumental build-up/climax at the end? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kaisin Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 I loved the 'radar' sound, i loved the lyrics, i loved this song so much, i woke up to the news that they had played a new song today (best wake-up feeling ever BTW) and i was struggling not to listen to it but i caved in and i absolutely do not regret it, it has such a great early-era Coldplay feel to it. This album will be amazing, I've never been the 'I WANT THE OLD COLDPLAY BACK' type, i know that bands evolve and change, it's logical and natural but i can appreciate that some (if not most) of us fell in love with the Parachutes-AROBTTH Coldplay and, if the tracks we've already heard are a solid indicator of how the album will turn out, i'm extremely happy to see that they're combining that evolved, modern Coldplay (Midnight) with some great throwback stuff (Oceans, Always In My Head).

trojanchick99 Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 Each new song I hear gets me more and more excited about this album. This song is exquisite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest howyousawtheworld Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 It's a long time since Chris's icy beautiful and falsetto vocals have been allowed to return to the fore. It's been too long and it sounds as beautiful as it did 10+ years ago. No need for overdubs and the drowning of his voice from production as was the case on MX and some of VLV. Oceans = vintage Coldplay. That's praise indeed if, like me, you didn't like MX. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a2iel Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 Can't say I liked it on the first listen. Honestly, guess I was again expecting much more from them. I'm bummed that so far only Midnight has really amazed me. I feel like there's nothing exciting on the new stuff, very little surprises.. Maybe I was spoiled with Viva and Mylo, my 2 fav Coldplay albums. (And it has nothing to do with over/under production, it's just the songs and their arrangements) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
*Becky* Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 Holy shit, this song is amazing. I´m so glad their new songs are so different from MX. I love the lyrics, Will´s radar drums and Jonny´s guitar part. But what really stands out is Chris´singing, his voice is just perfect. Haunting. This album will be so good :wacky: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blueberry426 Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 I totally agree with you. I love their old and new songs. This song reminds me of the Coldplay I fell in love with over 10 years ago. A lot of the songs in MX were heavily produced. This song sounds refreshing to my ears. Chris voice is just beautiful! I loved the 'radar' sound, i loved the lyrics, i loved this song so much, i woke up to the news that they had played a new song today (best wake-up feeling ever BTW) and i was struggling not to listen to it but i caved in and i absolutely do not regret it, it has such a great early-era Coldplay feel to it.
