Guest diogo_sg Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 Hey Coldplayers! I was just wondering what could the lyrics of AHFOD be about? How will its style be? I think it'll be about expectations and, well, dreams. Things we want but not always can have. What do you think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MosesTheMarshmallow Posted June 27, 2015 Share Posted June 27, 2015 I think it'll be about a child whose dreams are dashed, but finds beauty in resistance against the forces that force us to conform. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rickulus Posted June 27, 2015 Share Posted June 27, 2015 So you're asking about the concept of the album, right? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I ran away Posted June 27, 2015 Share Posted June 27, 2015 I think it will reflect coming to terms with a difficult situation in life and finding happiness and a fresh start despite it (imho, Chris tries to be overtly positive after the separation, what with the smiley cap and all) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Philosopher Posted June 27, 2015 Share Posted June 27, 2015 Although the title is not "A Head Full of Fears Has No Space For Dreams", I think that it is chosen or inspired in some way from this sentence that runs the Internet, said by someone Unknown. It's a positive and brave message to make front to life and maybe also death, so here I see similarities and possible references to Viva La Vida or Death And All Of His Friends.

getithom Posted June 28, 2015 Share Posted June 28, 2015 I was listening to one of my favorite Bob Dylan songs today, and though it's definitely wishful thinking, I would love for Coldplay to explore a storytelling form of song writing for AHFOD. The closest we've gotten to that is probably Viva La Vida (song, not the album). If done right, it can be very compelling and makes the combination of lyrics and music blend marvelously as one. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lennyrott1 Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 What I Want AHFOD To Be: An album that explores dreams and nightmares on a grand scale. I would love for it to have political messages about where humanity hopes to be and dreams of being and what nightmares many are forced to live in: poverty, war, climate change, racisim, inequity. In that sense, it could be like MX, about striving for something better, for love and art in times of darkness. I would even be happy with a record that is less heavy and more about strange personal dreams and nightmares and balancing the two to become an individual or part of a loving, united community. Coldplay sure loves black and white dichotomies after all. What It Probably Will Be: Having dreams of success, happiness, and love. Very simple, broad lyrics that touch on self-improvement, motivation, self-love and love for another person, leading to sentiments of "Anything is Possible" if you believe and try your hardest. Cheesy, but not necessarily bad. 1 or 2 songs about obstacles: heartbreak, failure, lack of support, loss. These ones will be more rocky or different sounding to add some variety to album. In the end, not much to actually do with literal dreams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Adversary Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 I want it to be political, but in a vague sense. A-la Politik and Violet Hill. I'd love if they strived for a darker sound, but in that quintessential Coldplay way where the music is melancholic and atmospheric but the lyrics are hopeful and buoyant. I think this would fit in well with the title as our protagonist (The narrator in a conceptual way) is faced with the dark realities of the world yet still marvels at its beauty ("We live in a beautiful world, yeah we do, yeah we do") and has a head full of dreams as to what a utopian world could look like. In this way the first half of the album could be dark and lamentfull and the last part a "new dawn" so to speak where the songs adopt a cheerful and hopeful tone, Mylo Xyloto-esque. However, as Chris said that AHFOD is the day to GS night and that the music will be "something to move your feet to" I'd imagine it will be about living in the moment, enjoying oneself and happiness. All very vague and cliche in a way but still has substance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the end, not much to actually do with literal dreams. I don't think the lyrics are going to be cheesy and simple. Honestly, I think this is Coldplay's return to their more metaphorical and thoughtful lyrics. The melody, however, I expect it to be a mix between MX and their earlier albums (like we saw in Miracles). "I live to see the world" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
