lennyrott1 Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 I think there is a high likelihood that we will be seeing Coldplay drop AHFOD as a surprise. All the biggest names in music have done it over the last year or two, so I am betting they will do it. I could see it be free too! Or perhaps they will do a double album, one half free the other not. If it happened today I would explode into confetti. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HurtsLikeHeaven42 Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 I would be happy if they released it for free for a while but not forcing a download with everyone, that is just irritating... (Even though I wouldn't mind having a new Coldplay album and I also quite liked the U2 album too :P, but still) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
@AwardChris Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 A song called Lamhein has just been registered with ASCAP in the US. Interesting to see Brian Eno and Hindi lyricist MUNTASHIR MANOJ also given writing credits along with the band.

Greengoose Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 Interesting :) Lahme is a noun that translates into the word "Moments" in English .. http://dict.hinkhoj.com/words/meaning-of-%E0%A4%B2%E0%A4%AE%E0%A5%8D%E0%A4%B9%E0%A5%87-in-english.html I am thinking all this Rumi chatter Chris has been talking about for the past year has bubbled into something new and exciting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tom043 Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 Sounds interesting! Would be cool maybe some Hindi influences, a bit like african influences on Lost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gai Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 but most likely, this is a song sampling coldplay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lennyrott1 Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 Interesting, since Manoj is a lyricist, I bet Chris just heard the lyrics and wanted to use them, but I can't find any of his songs that would be in English, so must be a sample... but wouldn't they have to give credit to the artist who performs the lyrics too? Either way, I am excited with this interesting title and with Brain Eno's inclusion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gai Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 initially brian eno's inclusion made me think that this is a song by Manoj that samples a MX song, since eno got writing credits during MX. but him being a lyricist makes me wonder. still i don't have a lot of hope for a coldplay original since we've had false alarms like this before.

Suhit Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 Well, yeah, Manoj Muntashir is a lyricist in India who's just about breaking through into the Indian film industry to write lyrics for songs and stuff. He also writes scripts for Indian reality shows, but he seems to do that mainly to have a regular income. He's really interested in writing lyrics for songs, but he didn't get to do much of that yet, so I'm guessing this is a huge breakthrough for him IF Coldplay is using his lyrics. But that's what makes me think that this could be Coldplay's song, because Manoj Muntashir is a lyricist and not a composer/producer, so he wouldn't be sampling any of Coldplay's stuff.

Suhit Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 Btw, Manoj Muntashir has a very inspiring story about how he made it in his career. He moved from his hometown, Allahabad, to Bombay with just 700 rupees (about 20$ back then) to find a career as a writer/lyricist. And he lived on the footpaths of Bombay for at least a year before he got a chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Green Cap Man Posted March 20, 2015 Share Posted March 20, 2015 Just found another song registred on ASCAP. Not sure if it's true or not, but here it goes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ov3la Posted March 21, 2015 Share Posted March 21, 2015 Just found another song registred on ASCAP. Not sure if it's true or not, but here it goes: Both aurore boreale and autodance are songs that have coldplay samples in them but they aren't coldplay songs.

lennyrott1 Posted March 21, 2015 Share Posted March 21, 2015 Well at least Lamhein and Radio Dial are still in the mix....love those titles. Aurore Boreale would be a cool title too....

Sparky Posted March 21, 2015 Share Posted March 21, 2015 Coldplayzone posted about Radio Dial the other day - It was in Chris Martin's notes for MX so it seems to be a (very) late registration on the music database! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lennyrott1 Posted March 21, 2015 Share Posted March 21, 2015 No, we don't have confirmation with any. It is always too hard to tell with the database. Radiodial and Lamhein are just the two that we can't definitively say are Coldplay songs, samples of Coldplay songs, or even songs written by Coldplay for someone else. So we just have to hope! I love the vibes coming off each song name (especially the Waltz in B Minor.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atlas2000 Posted March 21, 2015 Share Posted March 21, 2015 As the title suggests it's a waltz, I'd probably assume it is in the time signature of 3/4. Chopin who Chris as sited as an inspiration actually has a piece called, "Waltz No. 10 in B minor, Op. 69, No. 2". [video=youtube;qQVngbDTAZ0]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qQVngbDTAZ0 Now here are some common chords and progressions in B minor: MY GUESS I presume that this track is actually an Instrumental. Given Chris' admiration of Chopin (a classical composer who composed instrumentals) which dates back to some time in the MX area as shown by his notes I feel we made have missed out on a very big clue. The radio tower beside A Hopeful Transmission (An Instrumental), is a linking factor here. The radio tower obviously references A Hopeful Transmission but could it reference Radio Dial (Waltz in B Minor) as well? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lennyrott1 Posted March 21, 2015 Share Posted March 21, 2015 ^Interesting Idea! I like it. I would personally love a nice, long instrumental based around Chris' interpretation of Chopin. Here is my prediction and hope though: Much like Viva la Vida, which has a classical yet modern feel to it, Radio Dial (Waltz in B-Minor) is a massive, radio worthy track that is based around the B-Minor Waltzy elements but has taken a different route with progressive, stadium rock feels reminiscent of the Viva era. It would be a hit single, but also an alternative, critical hit that everyone can enjoy! I imagine a more piano oriented HLH/VLV/Politik sounding song. :sunny: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Philosopher Posted March 21, 2015 Share Posted March 21, 2015 I would especially like to hear what kind of music could a song titled "Aurore Boreale" sound like. Given that that phenomen is so amazingly beautiful, it could be something stunning interpreted in a piece of music. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
