I love these sad guitars that start in the beginning and keep returning throughout the song. They carry such a depressing melody.

 

This melody (although I have heard it before in other songs) is actually not that bad. With another drumbeat this could have been a good song.

I'm not sure about this song yet, don't like it too much for now but it may grow on me.

So at the end of the song, he's basically asking Gwyneth out again?

 

I thought the same thing! Maybe he wants to bring the whole concept of co-parenting and all that into the mix

Doesn't work out then he writes about it. I think 1 Taylor Swift is enough. :lol:

Oh no, please don't. It will not work out and then we'll get LP8 - Shadow Stories and after that LP9 - A Rainbow Full Of Unicorns.

 

oooh god please no

1 Taylor Swift is enough.

 

LOL yeah

Imo the best track on the album, together with Army Of One and Amazing Day I think.

 

Tove Lo has a nice cute voice in this. She's crazy as hell btw, look at this live performance: flashing her titties. I like it :D

This is Coldplay!!! love this track - thank god because a lot of the other tracks (Birds, Hymn) were killing the album for me. Love the guitar, that atmosphere Coldplay creates and the vocals are great. For the hardcore fans, is the refrain "didn't we have fun" taken from the song they gave to Natalie Imbruglia? I loved that song they gave her - wish they did their own rendition of it. Regardless, outstanding track for me and a saving grace for me!

Soooo, where did you guys listen to it? :D

Can someone give me a link !?

Definetely best song on the album for me.

Yup, this might be my favorite song on the album. Very similar to the Natalie Imbruglia song, which I loved as well

Fun has grown on me a lot. I didn't like it initially, but it grew on me really quickly. Sure, it has a lot of pop tropes and is a tad overproduced, but I love the melancholy vibe it gives off and the lyrics. This is a true breakup song for me. Together with Birds, my own personal highlight of AHFOD.

I'm slowly getting more and more hyped for the album! Probably a lot more hyped than with GS.

It's not gunna happen! I'm not doubting the quality of the leak I just want to the album as a whole when it comes out, and also I want to refresh myself from the incoming of all the opinions and wait as well- not too long now anyways

one of my favourites so far!

Coming so late to this. Just found out it was actually premiered so I am off listening to it after finishing the replay of iHeart Release Party. What with the BBC concert this morning, the release party now, the Army of One premiere and now Fun, its been an amazing whole Coldplay day for me *lol*

Listening to it for the second time Infectious chord progression. Initially it reminded me of the first chords of Kyle´s Chris-penned Christmas song hehe

After listening to the album once, this is the song that stood out the most for me.

I like it a lot

Fun is an amazing song. Cm voice is angelic.

!!!!!!

 

Musically, lyrically and melodically, this is Coldplay at their best. Tove Lo harmonizes beautifully and the progression really does a great job of moving you with the lyrics. Q said it best in regards to this being more emotional than anything on Ghost Stories.

^^ I love this track. They did a collaboration right this time!

This is fantastic.

 

What a brilliant collaboration. I never hated Princess of China (I liked the acoustic version that was released), but I find it's the song I almost always skipped on MX. This, however, is joyous listening. The two vocals complement each other so, so well. Typical atmospheric guitar from JB and Guy, again, proving he's the star of this album.

 

9/10. Easily the best song on the album - so far - on my first listening. However this is as far as I've got with my first listen!

Nice song, I really got to like it a lot. I love Tove Lo's vocals. So gentle, and so fitting, their vocals blend together perfectly. This is the kind of female vocal that goes together with Chris'. Finally.

I think it's the best song on the album. The production is perfect and not overdone, the 'duet' is subtle enough and Tove Lo's voice fits perfectly with Chris'. Jonny's riff is awesome and the part before "from the top of the world..." reminds me of Rick Roll in the way it transitions. 80's without really sounding cheesy. The acoustic guitar towards the end is amazing. The lyrics are brilliant too.
