@coldplayisawesome - what was the famous location of the LiJ video ?

 

This song's name contains a similarity to an artist that Chris Martin adores; people had reasons to believe it would be on their then upcoming album; but it remains unreleased to this day.

Q. Hello Oracle!

Could you confirm for me whether or not part of the Lovers in Japan music video was shot at 33 Portland Place in Marylebone, the same place used in The King’s Speech as Lionel’s office?

Thanks!

The Oracle replies:

Wow, it’s always very impressive when fans spot things that aren’t necessarily well-known facts.

Yes, some shots were filmed there as well as some at Alexandra Palace and some at Abbey Mills Pumping Station.

 

:wacko:

Space Symphony

 

Makes me think of David Bowie

nope...

Lucky Sevens - Cat Stevens

 

(Although I don't think the admiration would be mutual) [emoji1]

A more probably guess:

 

Echo My Name - Echo & the Bunnymen

I'm gonna take a wild guess... :P World Without You, an unreleased track from the Ghost Stories sessions. Chris has adored the music of U2 ever since he was young, and they have a song called With Or Without You.

I believe Space Symphony was an early title for Moving To Mars. Actually, if Moving To Mars hadn't been released, then the final title would have also fit David Bowie.

A more probably guess:

 

Echo My Name - Echo & the Bunnymen

I meant the name has similarity to the artist itself, not to a song by that artist. The answer is indeed Echo My Name (I Can't Believe You're Gone) which was on a rumoured setlist for X&Y, and the artist is the band Echo and the Bunnymen who had lots of influence on Chris and Coldplay's sound during the AROBTTH Era. (And now Chris loves Selena Gomez, Drake and One Direction...)

Your turn @Nie ! :)

This songs title and some of its lyrics appear on a painting in the album booklet

I will give you an extra tip: Belgian town = Antwerp

Glass Of Water ?

Yes

 

It was played for the first time in Antwerp - Belgium

 

*blows of dust*

Oh, my bad...

 

This song is dedicated to a particular person, it is relatively unknown and it mentions the name of a person who is not the one it is dedicated to...

No, and much much much less known :)

Lhuna?

Ladder to the Sun? i don't know if that was technically dedicated to anyone, or if Icarus counts as another person being named :P

You might have to wait a while for an answer, unfortunately I haven't seen @I ran away since I've been on the forum! Hope all is okay with her! (I mean, I went for a 5 month break. I'm not complaining, I'm just letting you know... Any of you guys worry about me while I was gone? I didn't announce I was taking a break from the forum or anything... right around the beginning of April I just upped and left without telling anyone. Which was honestly a bad idea but I wasn't sure if I was going to be taking a break from the forum so I never bothered to let any of you know...)

that's one reason i hadn't posted another guess in the past few weeks, because i know she has been busy lately. i wanted to make sure this thread doesn't get buried. :)

I see!
