a2iel Posted November 22, 2015 Share Posted November 22, 2015 Yup, this song totally exceeded mine too!!! I lolololoved it.. And it totes sounds like old u2! Wish they had done more songs like it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EasySuperstition99 Posted November 22, 2015 Share Posted November 22, 2015 I'm liking it. Although, it does make me want to switch it off and listen to U2. I can't decide whether this is a good or bad thing? :confused: That's why i don't like it. It sounds like they are covering U2 and I actually hate U2.

gentleparachute Posted November 22, 2015 Share Posted November 22, 2015 This sounds so much like U2 that it is actually shocking. That's a good thing for me, I'm totally enjoying it but critics might bring it up a lot. That is my only worry... But then again, maybe people will understand that in the album they are doing tributes to everything they love - it's more U2 than U2, which is quite an achievement actually - they've obviously figured out what makes U2 sound like U2! :laugh3: I only wonder what U2 themselves will think? :uhoh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KidA Posted November 22, 2015 Share Posted November 22, 2015 Don't get why people are complaining; this is the best song U2 have done in years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gai Posted November 22, 2015 Share Posted November 22, 2015 Don't get why people are complaining; this is the best song U2 have done in years. the irony being, u2 doing coldplay doing u2, in the last u2 album :laugh3: it's an infinite two-way cycle!

AMDB9 Posted November 22, 2015 Share Posted November 22, 2015 Did anyone catch the "high, i feel so high, high, high, etc" lyrics in this song? I couldn't really pick them out... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
getithom Posted November 22, 2015 Share Posted November 22, 2015 Did anyone catch the "high, i feel so high, high, high, etc" lyrics in this song? I couldn't really pick them out... Yeah, I didn't hear those either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the_escapist Posted November 22, 2015 Share Posted November 22, 2015 In my humble opinion, it is a decent song. Very reminiscent of U2. The ooooohs are certainly going to sound amazing during the tour. But other than that, I am not sure it will stand the test of time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LVI56 Posted November 22, 2015 Share Posted November 22, 2015 I didn't catch the heavy U2 influence when we first heard it, but wow is it ever present. I'm loving the song more than ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aiko Posted November 22, 2015 Share Posted November 22, 2015 Did anyone catch the "high, i feel so high, high, high, etc" lyrics in this song? I couldn't really pick them out... I think this wasn't the song filmed on India. HFTW for sure! I loved AHFOD by the way. Incredible opener. Beautiful song :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColdMartin Posted November 22, 2015 Share Posted November 22, 2015 im not sure if i like this song although u2 are my second favorite band Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
getithom Posted November 22, 2015 Share Posted November 22, 2015 Really digging this song. As much as I love Up&Up, I think I'm preferring this one a bit more. Aside from the U2 similarities, something about it screams X&Y. :heart: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the_escapist Posted November 22, 2015 Share Posted November 22, 2015 It is certainly a grower. Liking a bit more in the amazing ultra high quality I downloaded! The album version is going to be much better, like Hurts Like Heaven. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Adversary Posted November 22, 2015 Share Posted November 22, 2015 Didn't people say they really loved the live versions of the MX songs up to the album release? Really hope that's not the case with AHFOD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gentleparachute Posted November 22, 2015 Share Posted November 22, 2015 Didn't people say they really loved the live versions of the MX songs up to the album release? Really hope that's not the case with AHFOD I hope I'm not annoying with my predictions, but I have a feeling it will be better this time. As usual, they learn from their mistakes - I think soon you will hear Chris reference how he felt the MX recordings could have been better if they had not played so much live first or how they had difficulty replicating that live feel and feedback in the studio... They are also having a shorter run-up to their album release - part of it is to reduce over-exposure before the album comes out (ie the let-down after hearing too many live versions). MX was definitely written for live performances in mind - I reckon they went "lets record a whole album that will sound awesome live"... they succeeded but as a result fans don't like the actual album as much. With AHFOD, their actual playing / musicianship has improved - so I predict a lot of the playing will be clean and pristine, which will translate into a beautiful recording on the album - I have also noticed the sounds are fuller now (ie will not sound as compressed as X&Y songs hopefully), and this will also be a satisfying listen (for me at least)... this is my head full of hopes for this album anyway :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mayrn43 Posted November 22, 2015 Share Posted November 22, 2015 I think it sounds like a cross of these two great U2 tunes: [video=youtube;iMc7UbWnyBI]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iMc7UbWnyBI [video=youtube;ljg8_zt8Quw] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest diogo_sg Posted November 22, 2015 Share Posted November 22, 2015 Definitely reminds me of U2. And that's good!! The beginning is something like Politik (explosive). It's happy, it isn't too fast paced, the lyrics are nice (from what I could understand). It will fit beautifully as an album opener. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
strawberrytom Posted November 22, 2015 Share Posted November 22, 2015 So should I listen now and let this be the last song I listen to before the album? Or should I avoid all new songs now and listen to the album fresh? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coeurli Posted November 22, 2015 Author Share Posted November 22, 2015 Anybody else thinks it sounds like the opening credits to a sitcom? :lol: If Coldplay had a series, it would be called A Head Full of Dreams and that song would be on the opening credits :nod: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[emoji38] If Coldplay had a series, it would be called A Head Full of Dreams and that song would be on the opening credits :nod: Funny. Cause I was listening to it while reading this. And yes. It sort of does. Imagine a Friends intro with Coldplay and AHFOD playing on the background. Amazing! [emoji23] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grids Posted November 22, 2015 Share Posted November 22, 2015 Hmm Up&Up is still better than the AHFOD song imo. But so far it's okay :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
