    Having this overwhelming realization that my love for someone is unrequited and Fun is hitting me. I mean in terms of the most lyrically insightful, least cliche Coldplay ballads -The Scient

Wow, I genuinely love this! May I ask what specific effects did you do for this one? I can hear the main pulse of Midnight at a higher pitch.

 

Brian Eno would be proud haha

I use Audacity for this stuff. I also use Resedue or Noise Reduction for stuff. Also reverb.

Is the Natalie Imbruglia song a leftover from X&Y?

I'm not quite sure.

It could also be a leftover from AROBTTH.

I was just thinking X&Y due to Ken Nelson producing it

It's was a demo written for Viva La Vida, then Chris gave it to Natalie Imbruglia.

It seems strange that Ken Nelson would reunite with Coldplay to produce just the one song

I didn't get that far. So I also didn't know about that tbh.

So on Natalie Imbruglia's 2009 album Come to Life, there are 4 Coldplay-related tracks - Lukas, Fun, Scars and Want. Lukas and Fun were written by the band themselves. They also played the instruments (with strings by David Rossi), which leads me to believe that they're the instrumentals from the songs Coldplay would have released themselves. Lukas is produced by Brian Eno, Markus Dravs and Rik Simpson (obviously evidence the song was from the Viva la Vida era). Fun was produced by Ken Nelson with additional production from Rik Simpson (this is what makes me think the song was from the X&Y era at the latest, as the band has not worked with Ken Nelson since). Neither Ken Nelson nor Brian Eno produced any other songs on Come to Life.

-The Scientist

-Warning Sign

-Us Against the World

-Everglow

-Amazing Day

 

There are definitely a couple but I never hear people talk about the verse lyrics to Fun, maybe because of how somewhat generic the chorus is-

"I know the falls that the water face"

"'I know it's over' Icarus says to the Sun"

 

Some special insights here. Chris has his moments.
