Thought I'd start this since I felt like there quite a few call-backs, but I might have missed some. Notice any references to other Coldplay albums/songs in the new record?

 

I caught (and I'm sure others noticed):

 

"So if you love someone, you should let them know

Oh, the light that you left me will everglow..."

Everglow, AHFOD

 

"Said if you love me, won't you let me know?

If you love me, won't you let me know?"

Violet Hill, Viva La Vida

Army of one

Saying my heart is my gun, army of one
Yeah my heart is my gun, army of one
It's my only weapon, army of one
Yeah my heart is my gun, army of one

 

Hurts like heaven

Oh you use your heart as a weapon
And it hurts like heaven

I know I mentioned this a while ago, but pretty soon I will have the chance to enter all the AHFOD references (especially now that official lyrics have been released)

"Still I see you celestial" - Everglow

"You´re a sky full of stars" - A sky full of stars

 

"got to make our own key" - Birds

"I stole a key" - Charlie Brown

On relationship:

(Ghost Stories) Midnight: "Leave a light, a light on"

(A Head Full of Dreams) Everglow: "oh the light that you left me will everglow"

Flock/Group of BIRDS

 

Speed of Sound:

"And birds go flying at the speed of sound

To show you how it all began..."

 

Up with the Birds:

"The birds they sang, break of day..."

 

O:

"Flock of birds

Hovering above..."

 

A Head Full of Dreams:

"For the thirst and for the hunger

come the conference of birds..."

 

Birds:

"And we’ll be birds

flying free..."

 

Amazing Day:

"And I asked

Can the Birds in poetry chime?"

Us Against the World:

"And I just want to be there when the lightning strikes

And the saints go marching in."

 

Fun:

"The Sword sinks in, lightning strikes

And two force, two forces collide."

"And I asked

Can the Birds in poetry chime?"

 

I think the lyrics are

"And I asked every book

Poetry chime?"

:D

I think the lyrics are

"And I asked every book

Poetry chime?"

:D

 

I thought that's the correct lyrics until I checked the official lyrics at Coldplay.com. It says birds instead of book :)

^ LOL i listen to the song again and your right... They must have changed the lyrics because they definetely did say "And I asked every book" at GC... Studio version seemed to have different lyrics lol. But you are right.

 

EDIT: What the heck!!!!! It's "Can the birds" in GC too!!! What is this???

 

EDIT2: Now I know why I got mixed up. Ever since I heard "The Racer" cover this, they said "And I asked every book". I heard the others like it too. Now that I heard the correct lyrics it makes sense. But The Racer cover actually does sing those lyrics.

diamond's and another diamonds on some song I forgot haha
