This thread is dedicated to the 4th song on A Head Full of Dreams!

Is this the new Charlie Brown in terms of Xyloband use??

every single freaking song title on this tracklist feels upbeat. i fuckin love it!! they're all so happy!

I actually have a feeling this will be the 'new' Fix You :)

guys what dose everglow mean ?

I like the title 'Everglow':)

I saw the title and thought of a song by the band Everclear called So Much For The Afterglow. Everglow is such a cool title.

I'm with you.. Probably the "glow" theme hints at it

Okay but Everglow is such a good title, guys

 

I could see this one being either a slow piano ballad or an ambient song like Midnight but with even moar bass to get the Xylobands going

i think this one could be something like Us Against The World + Ink....

This is my favourite title from the new tracklist :)

Same!

Im feeling slow piano with some synths and strings. But watch it be the opposite lol

I'm pretty sure the recently deciphered lyric on Guy's t-shirt ("the sun on the snow") is from this song. Everglow, the title reminds me of the glowing of the Alps.

Everyone's hyped up about this, that means it'll be an instrumental. [sarcasm]Same way how Lincoln Chafee will ever get elected president, this will be a full-fledged song.[/sarcasm]

Coldplay's lyrics about snow/winter are always so good, I could see this as a possibility!

 

I'm predicting Everglow and Up&Up will be my favorites on AHFoD

Well this one is a ballad according to the Ryan Seacrest show this morning

This is one of Ryan Seacrest's favorite songs from the album with Hymn for the Weekend!

 

I am really looking forward to hear the (apparently) only ballad in the album!

My favourite songtitle so far

This song features Gwyneth Paltrow in backing vocals.

Can't we have just one song on this album that is just Coldplay :disappointed:

Birds?

AOAL ? Amazing Day? AHFOD? Birds?

Moreover, i dont think Gwyneth will have any significant part to play in the song.

^ You're right in that she probably won't have a very prominent part, but I have sort of a Pavlov's dog response to collaborations--even minor ones. I don't like Lost+, PoC, or ASFoS. It seems like collaborations always entail a very pop-y, Top-40-sounding track.

 

 

What's interesting is that all the non-album collaborations that Coldplay have done (Wish I Was Here with Cat Power, Lhuna with Kylie Minogue, Chris's collabs with Faultline, etc.) I really like. To me, that strengthens my belief that on-album collabs are done purely for financial gain. Songs that otherwise wouldn't have made their respective albums are included anyway because they would pair well with a certain artist and therefor draw in a wider fanbase.

 

. . . I can rant all day about the poor decision-making involved in including PoC and ASFoS on their albums :awesome:

 

If they had anybody on this song, it should have been Birdy. She has an amazing voice and is perfect for piano ballads!
