bdevil89 Posted November 30, 2015 Share Posted November 30, 2015 I think this is avg Coldplay which is still decent, but not single worthy. This won't fly. Total Strokes vibe with a little Arcade Fire thrown in there for sure. Birds/Hymn for weekend are sort of filler for me for now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
42JTR Posted November 30, 2015 Share Posted November 30, 2015 I really dislike the ending though, when I'm so into the song and it's speeding up at the end, I can only think of "damnnn it's going to end any second now, I don't want it to end already and then - COO" But I guess that's exactly what they wanted to accomplish with it and they suceeded.

cp3176 Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 The sheer amount of general negativity on this forum is insane- and the negativity just isn't to X marks the spot- it's to literally everything off the album! Umm no? There's never been anyone criticizing Birds (obviously). After the studio version got released, few are complaining about it. Some say Everglow is generic, but many are praising it's beauty. Even the people who dislike this album in every way shape and form say that there are a few nice songs on this album. I think you might want to look closer from now on.

AMDB9 Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 I just had a thought....So a few days ago, I read an article I think in which Guy said there were like 6 different versions of AHFOD (the song), and all of them sounded different. Well, what if that was the case with Birds, too, and the snippet of lyrics during UATW at the Tidal concert came from a trashed version of Birds?

Jaytheblue Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 ^^^ but but but but it was so good!!!!!!!! You can't just trash that gold! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lennyrott1 Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 Yeah I hate when they trash that stuff! Maybe that Us Against The World melody will come back on an acoustic B-side? Note that AHFOD doesn't have an acoustic track at all which has to be a first for Coldplay (every era has one). Best case scenario is that Coldplay releases a big EP next year (or even a surprise album?) with like 6 new tracks that are a bit more alternative and acoustic/stripped sounding. If more session songs have the vibe of birds I need them ASAP. In regard to the ending of the track....I actually kind of love the abruptness into the bird sounds :) For me the track just swells to this perfect moment where the strings, guitar, piano, drums find their perfect balance, and by cutting the song short at that point they aren't overdoing it. Coldplay sometimes has a tendency to push a song too far imo which makes it less meaningful. That said, if there was an extended version of birds where the strings became more prominent I would be all over it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wisna Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 I don't know if anyone said that here before, but my first impression when I heard the snippet was that it reminded me of The Cure. After hearing the whole song, it still does. It's definitely my favourite off the album. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Odvan Posted December 2, 2015 Share Posted December 2, 2015 It would be a superhit ... with proper live performance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CitizenKane Posted December 2, 2015 Share Posted December 2, 2015 So... this isn't the same song as the snippet played in LA during UATW. Love both, but really wanted that snippet to feature on the album! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laxwatcher Posted December 2, 2015 Share Posted December 2, 2015 Guys I was just listening to Mylo Xyloto straight through and when it got to Up With the Birds, it played Birds instead hahaha. I thought it was a glitch or something, but it keeps playing it when I click on UWTB. Can anyone else confirm? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Squallo Posted December 3, 2015 Share Posted December 3, 2015 How about these, huh? http://www.songtexte.com/songtext/coldplay/birds-3b6790f8.html "Standing in the corner Studying the lights Dreaming of escape Keep me up at night Someone who put the fares up Got me in a race So, guess I better stay Come on and say So the fools go thunder Just the war and rain Don't let the fear stall your life I want to see you again I hear you never wanna sleep all night Stop falling in love, stop the ride Come on and age with me We don't need words, we'll be birds To make our own key We got this one, you and me Can't hear nothing, but geography Come on raise it Come on and raise this noise For a million people, their own voice Come on it's not over If you need it so loud Come on and offer love Offer me a ground away with me We don't need words Close your eyes and see We'll be birds flying free Holding on in a mystery Say we'll go through this together And you'll fly won't you?

That makes SO much more sense than "It's a fool's gold chamber"! :D The "A dream that died by light of day" ended up in Adventure Of A Lifetime. So, as it turns out, they were still working on the songs back then. Now we know what happened to the lyrics... it's good that they didn't get thrown out. Interesting. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marina_sm Posted December 3, 2015 Share Posted December 3, 2015 [lyrics] Chris said in an interview that it's "Start falling in love, start the riot" referring to situations in which people from different sides of a conflict fall in love with each other. He said he was thinking about Israel and Palestine.

I ran away Posted December 3, 2015 Share Posted December 3, 2015 I think the lyric is "Someone put a fence up" then, for two reasons - the wall Israel put up between them and Palestine - makes sense with the Birds lyrics - we'll be Birds, because birds can fly over fences and walls and overcome them Wow, great lyrics then. Don't need words...we'll be birds ! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
