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.

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)

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.

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

Sounds interesting! Would be cool maybe some Hindi influences, a bit like african influences on Lost.

but most likely, this is a song sampling coldplay.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Just found another song registred on ASCAP. Not sure if it's true or not, but here it goes:

 

 

What we know until now:

 

Aurore Boreale (not sure) - nº 888082112

Lamhein - nº 888346928

On My Way Home - nº 888044523

Radio Dial - Walt In B Minor - nº 887754380

Unbroken - nº 888128787

haven't seen unbroken before.

Both aurore boreale and autodance are songs that have coldplay samples in them but they aren't coldplay songs.

A lot of the new coldplay songs are just songs that have coldplay samples

Unbroken appears to be related to the film of the same name where Coldplay wrote Miracles for

Well at least Lamhein and Radio Dial are still in the mix....love those titles. Aurore Boreale would be a cool title too....

 

Starting to feel the immense weight of the vast depths of time between Coldplay eras.....:disappointed:

Is there any confirmation Lamhein is a Coldplay song? I love the title too, but it sounds a lot like Aurore Boreale.

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!

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.)

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".

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?

^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:

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.

:disappointed: :disappointed: :disappointed: this time it is worse I guess, because there are no updates whatsoever from The Bakery & Chris in on the other side of the world living a la Hollywood.. :sad: There is nothing to indicate the band is currently working on the new album..

 

I wonder how much will we have to wait :(

I'd wait forever!
