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 ! There you are! I missed you, man! And yes, I hope so too. But I doubt they will, actually. They recorded that hyper-colorful music video in India weeks ago, so I'm kinda forced to think that song will be the lead single. Of course, they can still pull a Midnight and release Amazing Day as a tease for the new album.
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 ! Same here, the song must sound so much nicer with a well recorded strong voice over it, and not out-of-breath-Chris coughing the lyrics up lol
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 ! Well Monday is just around the corner
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 ! There you are! I missed you, man! Hey there buddy ! Thanks man missed you too ! Edit: I can still here jonny's guitar and Will and Chris's "OOOOH OOOOH OOOOH OOOOHH " in my head. Well done Coldplay
September 26, 201510 yr Good song but not as amazing as expected ^^ The music reminds me the beginning of Spanish Rain
September 26, 201510 yr After a third listen, I actually quite like this song, which I wasn't expecting after hearing the soundcheck version. It is incredibly Coldplay... almost feels like it could fit on a faith-based album with Miracles ahahaha. But at the same time, it sounds like Christmas Lights, lovely piano, great string section, pleasant guitar, almost waltz-worthy. I really love Guy's bass at the beginning of the song, really cool. I think the studio version, with louder piano and string sections could be quite stunning. I somewhat hope this is a charity single, though I think it could be fine slow song on an album. I am not amazed by any means, but this song is very................pleasant. Very pleasant indeed. I feel like this could have been A PERFECT REPLACEMENT FOR ASFOS considering the fact that it is basically the more mature brother: stars, sad a little, but okay with it, want in your arms... really Chris? you don't got many tricks up your theme sleeve do you? Critiques: very similar to AIMH, not sure I need another OOHHH OOHHH chant in a Coldplay song, Will's drumming is dull, wish he would spruce it up a bit with some more cymbals or off-beat tempos.
September 26, 201510 yr 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 Ok - listened to a bit of her on YouTube. As I thought - generic pop shit for 12 year olds and as I hinted to marketed to commercial death. Utter crack.
September 26, 201510 yr I don't know, I like the song a lot. It's not "poppy" but more Ballard driven which is what I think a lot of us were looking forward to with A Head Full of Dreams. It's kind of like a cross between a Rush of Blood to the Head and Ghost Stories, though this comparison might not be entirely true. Whatever you classify this song as, I like it and I want more of it.

I lol'ed @ the bolded part because that exact thought has gone through my head several times. Like . . . it's okay Chris, we know you like stars and getting lost in people's eyes. I agree with your critiques as well. The song is a bit too pleasant in that it seems very, very safe. It's come to the point where I'm actually surprised when a Coldplay song doesn't include "oohhhs" or "yeahs" :P Certainly not my favorite Coldplay song of all time, but not bad at all :nice:
September 26, 201510 yr I lol'ed @ the bolded part because that exact thought has gone through my head several times. Like . . . it's okay Chris, we know you like stars and getting lost in people's eyes. Don't forget the good ol' feet not touching/off the ground; it's always made me giggle how many songs and lines alluded to that.

September 27, 201510 yr I'm enjoying Amazing Day a lot, even after 10 listens lol. If it ends up on AHFOD then I think it's a good sign that I'm going to enjoy the album. After listening to the soundcheck recording it reminded me of Trouble and Strawberry Swing. Now it also reminds me of the verses of In My Place. There's nothing in the song that Coldplay have never done before and it does not reach the level of Oldplay but it's still one of the better post-Viva songs. I like it better than Miracles, most of GS, and a lot of MX.
September 27, 201510 yr Another thing to consider is that there may be some intricacies included in the studio version that gets lost in the live version. May help counter some of the simpleness/blandness that some of us have pointed out :shrug:
September 27, 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 Got the lyrics from atlas project Sat on a roof Named every star Shed every bruise and Showed every scar [Pre-Chorus 1] Sat on a roof Your hand in mine, singing "Life has a beautiful, crazy design" And time seemed to say "Forget the world and all its weight" Here I just wanna say [Chorus] Amazing day Amazing day [Verse 2] Sat on a roof Named every star and Showed me a place Where you can be who you are [Pre-Chorus 2] And the view The whole Milky Way In your eyes I'm drifting away And in your arms I just wanna sway [Chorus] Amazing day Amazing day Amazing day Amazing day [bridge] And I asked every book Poetry and chime "Can there be breaks In the chaos of times?" Oh, thanks God You must've heard when I prayed Because now I always Want to feel this way [Chorus] Amazing day Amazing day Amazing day Amazing day
September 27, 201510 yr + * The song feels like a mixture of Life is for Living, Always in My Head and Swallowed in the Sea * I was surprised (in a good way) because I expected a dancy tune as we speculated that the album will make us shuffle our feet. But I think if AHFOD is going to be more of a celebratory record then this song will fit in the album. * The bass is really good and I do appreciate the return of Will's drums * It's a feel good song and I think that's an element that we should consider in judging the song. * The melody of the song is gorgeous. Maybe a little bit retro but I do like the song as a whole. * the intro riff is really nice * I know that some were disappointed about the 'whoooo's but for me that singalong moment just improved the song big time (with the audience waving their hand). Sweet moment. * could be an album closer - * I guess we had enough lyrics about stars... * It would be better if they put a lot more emphasis on the strings. Amazing Day... It is.
September 27, 201510 yr I get a sort of 50s ballad undertone in the song. You could easily slow dance to this song!
September 27, 201510 yr Ok - listened to a bit of her on YouTube. As I thought - generic pop shit for 12 year olds and as I hinted to marketed to commercial death. Utter crack. Lol! ...Will's drumming is dull, wish he would spruce it up a bit with some more cymbals or off-beat tempos. Yes, this! Will is an enormously talented drummer, and should be spicing things up a little bit. He is entirely capable. I would be so disappointed if AHFOD was loaded with dull drumming.
September 27, 201510 yr corny? yes cheesy? yes classic chris? yes forced? no as long as it doesn't feel forced, i will be satisfied as a coldplay fan this song feels very safe and very basic, but i dont expect much from coldplay on an artistic level. as long as it's from the heart, then i'll enjoy it
September 27, 201510 yr After I listened to the song many times I think it's remind me of I can't smile without you
September 27, 201510 yr You guys are all allright cause it reminds of AIMH but i remember something of Up in Flames too in this song, don't you think? However i really like the new song and i can't wait for the studio version, when do you think they'll publish the studio version?
September 27, 201510 yr Will is just chilling on his drums throughout the entire song lol I think it's definitely a Guy/Jonny song, I love the guitar and I adore the bassline
September 27, 201510 yr Uhm yeah, cute track but I already forgot everything about it. Not impressive at all, they did this kind of song a lot of times during their career and in a lot more remarkable ways. I hope this isn't part of AHFOD. Agree
