November 6, 201510 yr It's about what happened with the birds after the band went up with them in MX. It's quite an upbeat track and the lyrics explore all the happy times the birds and the band had! (I sound like the author of a children's novel)
November 6, 201510 yr Chris has a bird obsession :p He has lots if lyric obsessions lol. Birds, feet not touching the ground, etc [emoji1]
November 7, 201510 yr Birds sounds like a calm track. I'll be surprised if it's HEAVY METAL:laugh3: Lol :lol: I once jokingly predicted they would write a song called Birds so I can't believe it came true! :D I'm guessing this one will be more subdued. A song called Birds sounds like a ballad to me, especially coming from Coldplay.
November 7, 201510 yr Favourite song title from AHFOD at the moment, wonder if the song itself will be as good as its title
November 7, 201510 yr Favourite song title from AHFOD at the moment, wonder if the song itself will be as good as its title Wow, I am not so enthusiastic for this title. Dunno, just sounds weird... It's gonna be about Twitter with lyrics like "I replied to your tweet" in the chorus haha
November 7, 201510 yr Davide Rossi is confirmed to have played on this track. Wonder if it has horns, strings or both
November 8, 201510 yr Up With The Birds Up&Up Birds Coldplay likes 'Up' and 'Birds' words apparently :lol:
November 8, 201510 yr Up With The Birds Up&Up Birds Coldplay likes 'Up' and 'Birds' words apparently :lol: Up In Flames, Fly On, the single cover for Magic... haha is the "up" song or "bird" song a new tradition?
November 8, 201510 yr Up In Flames, Fly On, the single cover for Magic... haha is the "up" song or "bird" song a new tradition? Oh yeah forgot about that lmao. Magic music video also features birds in it. Chris is probably obsessed with the birds [emoji38] Next LP8 will be more about Birds That Are Up, Up In The Sky
November 8, 201510 yr Ultimate Chris lyrics obsession: Birds Go Up&Up And Won't Touch the Ground. Haha, true that. I expect to never see "up" or "birds" for a title ever again..
November 11, 201510 yr Wow, I am not so enthusiastic for this title. Dunno, just sounds weird... It's gonna be about Twitter with lyrics like "I replied to your tweet" in the chorus haha Honestly, I wouldn't even be mad ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
November 11, 201510 yr I read The Conference of Birds yesterday. It is presumably the book which inspired this song. In the poem, the birds of the world gather to decide who is to be their king, as they have none. The hoopoe, the wisest of them all, suggests that they should find the legendary Simorgh, a mythical Persian bird roughly equivalent to the western phoenix. The hoopoe leads the birds, each of whom represent a human fault which prevents man from attaining enlightenment. When the group of thirty birds finally reach the dwelling place of the Simorgh, all they find is a lake in which they see their own reflection. The birds must cross seven valleys in order to find the Simorgh: Yearning Love Knowledge of Spiritual Truth Detachment Unity of God Bewilderment Selflessness
November 11, 201510 yr [emoji121]️[emoji121][emoji121][emoji121] That sounds like Chris Its really cool that Chris is using books for inspiration

November 12, 201510 yr The hoopoe, the wisest of them all, suggests that they should find the legendary Simorgh, a mythical Persian bird roughly equivalent to the western phoenix. It's curious, a long time ago I said that they should make a song called "Phoenix".
