This is the dedicated thread for Hymn for the Weekend, 3rd song on A Head Full of Dreams!

This song title reminds me of Bloc Party...their second album is titled "A Weekend In The City" and their upcoming fifth album is titled "Hymns"

My prediction: Hymn for the Weekend will be the 2nd single possibly featuring Noel Gallagher and it will be a real stadium rock hymn.

 

Reasons for this: The sticker on the album says "including AOAL and HFTW" so it's very probable that it's the 2nd single. Moreover, AOAL has been reported to be not the song for which they recorded the music video in India. We know that the 2nd single is usually the "big" one, so it fits in with the big colourful music video. Also this "India music video" song has been described as being a rock song, but you can hardly call AOAL rock. If this song is therefore a rock song it would make sense to be the collaboration with the Brit-Rock legend Noel Gallagher.

With a high likelihood, it's gonna be the second singe off AHFOD.

LOL; we had the same thoughts there !!!

What sticker!? :o The iTunes and official webshop releases don't feature any stickers on the cover.

It's pretty much confirmed to be the second single:

 

We will get this one before December 4! :D

Noel better Tour with them

It's pretty much confirmed to be the second single:

The flower of life alone would have been neat and fit in with all their other albums which have neat, clean covers.

yes, and new we've got planets and parrots loLWAT

Well,the simple silver MX cover is pretty good no ?

hmmmm acceptable I suppose. I personally love the X&Y the most. It's so clever! :cheesy:

This could be Parrot-, Parrot-, Parrot-dise !

Right now, im expecting sort of a Dont let it break your Heart-style here

I agree, the flower of life would be better. Maybe we'll get a reversible cover like MX

I was looking for the flower alone also, but... I think the cover is great. They want to show it kind of inside in a Kaleidoscope, like the song. And the whole album has psychodelic art, so it's the best option.

Pretty sure thats the song The Script (or who was it? :thinking: )described as "will please all of the Coldplay fans ".

When did that happen? Do you have a source on that?

I dont remember exactly, its probably two months ago,or less .

Though, I also cant recall where it has been written but im sure a few members on the board do remember.

Its no invention by myself ;)

The album cover is great. When you play an album you want the cover to look like the album. If the album sounds like that cover then it's going to be awesome. I really don't get all the posts wanting a nice clean, muted, tasteful cover because I don't want a nice clean, muted, tasteful album. I agree with joseki who posted the Sgt Pepper cover. I'm definitely getting a Sgt Pepper vibe about what they've been trying to create.

If this song is therefore a rock song it would make sense to be the collaboration with the Brit-Rock legend Noel Gallagher.

 

I really hope so! If their biggest hit off the album will be a rocky song with Noel Gallagher I will die in peace.
