September 26, 201510 yr I think that if it was a song for Global Citizen,they would have said so cause why not.Furthermore they said they won't be performing in Global Citizen unless required so i don't see why they would make a new song specifically for Global Citizen.I mean like with all the new clothes and set...
September 26, 201510 yr See? Why were you being so pessimist? Let's hope AHFOD also satisfies your wishes, bud [emoji6] let's not talk before we have the whole thing... low profile is the way ;)

September 26, 201510 yr yeah, if it were a charity single, I would imagine Chris promoting the hell out of it before they played it. Like, we're gonna play a new song, its on itunes, all the proceeds go to global citizen, but we didn't see that. on the other hand, its a bit weird promoting new stuff at all when the supposed focus is on the issues global citizen wants to address. perhaps chris just wanted to give an exclusive to them? I still say its an LP7 song but thats just a guess.
September 26, 201510 yr It could be one of those tracks they play live to both see how it feels before an audience and to consider whether or not they want it to be on the new record. Anyone remember the band's indecision over "Moving to Mars"? I remember watching an interview of some sort before Coldplay played at the iTunes festival in 2011 (I think that was the year), and when asked about MTM, Jonny answered that they were still thinking about whether to include it on the record or not. As we know, it didn't make it, but it took them a while to figure it out, and that could also be the case with a track like this. So, we'll just have to wait and see!

I still say its an LP7 song but thats just a guess. These things happen even at charity events. At Live Aid in 1985 at Wembley Stadium U2 were intent on playing and indeed promoting their new single Pride (In The Name Of Love). But that didn't happen. What happened of course goes down as one of the abiding memories of that historic day when they played a 9 minute version, with Bono pulling a girl gasping for a bit of room out of the audience and danced with her, meaning they didn't have enough time to play Pride! Anyhow, Coldplay playing a new song at a charity event will gain greater exposure for Coldplay in the music press and in turn gain greater promotion for the actual charity itself. Would be nice to hear a clearer version of the new song though. But I like it - not great but not terrible. It's cheesy but we can all indulge in a bit of cheese from time to time can't we? But it's lovely to hear Jonny playing his distinctly glittery bits on his trusted Suncaster (I'm guessing?)....that model and Jonny go back quite a bit.

September 26, 201510 yr They changed the lyrics when they were soundchecking, didn't they? Didn't notice a lyric change (of course, I also didn't hear the whole thing from the soundcheck). From what I could hear from the soundcheck snippets, it was just harder to hear what Chris was singing, perhaps from a (maybe purposeful) lack of diction and emphasis. If there is a noticeable difference between the soundcheck and concert performance, I'm only able to discern from the snippets.

It just seems like the lyrics sound different from the ones sung at the soundcheck.
September 26, 201510 yr Had to google Ariana Grande. That's how much I give a shit about modern chart music today. By the looks of things I certainly won't be clicking on that duet.
September 26, 201510 yr He didn't collaborate with her. He sang a song with her on stage. I'm pretty sure what they did is classified as a collaboration. "the action of working with someone to produce or create something"

By the looks of things I certainly won't be clicking on that duet. wow so close minded she has a great voice, really powerful, she's really talented and you "just by the look of things" decided that it wasnt worth of your hearing oh well thom yorke is pretty ugly im gonna stop listening to radiohead now
September 26, 201510 yr I'm pretty sure what they did is classified as a collaboration. "the action of working with someone to produce or create something" collaborating and singing a song on stage are two, completely different things when it comes to music collaboration: two people writing stuff chris didnt write a thing
September 26, 201510 yr Well, not sure that song gives away anything about the new direction of AHFOD, it kinda sounds like a song off of Ghost Stories mixed with Christmas Lights, nothing we haven't heard before.. Just a nice, ok song without any novelty in my opinion. Nice to listen to but not one that would turn me into a crazier Coldplay fan..
September 26, 201510 yr What I think the lyrics were, I'm not sure of the start of the third section: Sat on a Roof Named Every Star Shared Every Bruise and Showed Every Scar Sat on a Roof Your Hand in Mine (Singing/Saying) Life Has a Beautiful Crazy Design And Time Seems to Say Forget the World and Its Weight And Here I Just Wanna Stay Amazing Day Amazing Day Sat on a Roof Named Every Star and You Showed Me a Place Where You Can Be Who You Are And the View the Whole Milky Way In Your Eyes I Drifted Away And in Your Arms I Just Wanna Sway Amazing Day Amazing Day Amazing Day Amazing Day Oh Oh Oh Oh... And I Ask How Your Mine Poetry Chimed The Canopy Breaks in the Chaos Some Times Oh Thanks God You Must Have Heard When I Prayed Cause Now I Always Want to Feel This Way Amazing Day Amazing Day Amazing Day Amazing Day Yeah Today
September 26, 201510 yr I loved the new song, but I can't actually WAIT for the studio version ! I hope they'll release it in the coming days on youtube !
