Interesting song. Does the bridge remind anyone else of the buildup in Fix You ? :)

Weeeeeeeeee!

Me! I'm wondering if Chris only gave his vocals or also took part in composing, producing etc.

Yes, the Woohs are also quite Coldplayesque, aren't they ?

That Clocks drumline

Yup, and the guitar riff

I like it. The guitar and drums are very nice and, of course, Chris's vocals!! :D

They've taken the link down !!! - Well, I can't get it. :angry:

...and that organ sound in the background, and the strings, and the Clocks drumline as has been pointed out....it says composer Ricky Gervais, but this does sound a bit like a cross of Clocks/Fix You and Viva :) Love that song !

looks like chris didn't actually compose the song. just singing a bit. from a ricky gervais interview:

 

Finally, Electricity...

 

This is the odd one out on the album because it’s almost as if Brent has written this song after the movie, because in the film he tells a co-worker that he’s going to write about what’s happened to him, but ‘with a Coldplay vibe’. Because that’s what Chris Martin does: he takes ordinary, everyday things and makes them about the Universe.

 

And the joke is, when it kicks in over the end credits it’s exactly like a Coldplay song. In fact it’s like every one of their songs stolen and mismatched and put into this vehicle for Brent to sing about the Universe. And I thought it would be funny as a little Easter egg for Chris Martin to sing on it, but just the last few bars. When he heard the song he started laughing and said, ‘No I get it... let me help you to take the piss out of me’! But if Brent’s not singing it, it’s a cracking track! But this song is the odd one out; it’s like the behind the scenes of the movie taking over…

 

Q: Because it would be difficult imagining Chris Martin duetting with David Brent?

 

A: Of course. It does break the fourth wall really but only over the end credits…

 

Q: Although thinking about it, Chris Martin is a very lovely guy so maybe…

 

A: Oh yeah honestly, if there was a rep somewhere who bumped into Chris and asked him to do him a favour, Chris Martin would actually do it because he likes to help people!

No - I can't get it either... even on Spotify !

Love this song. I do remember Ricky saying it was intended to sound like a Coldplay song and he nail it!

Maybe you can find it by the name of the album. It's Life on the road.

I downloaded the mp3, if someone needs it, write me a PM :)

Thanks for that bit of common sense.... got it now.

Oh right - interesting. Yea, very Fix You-ish in the middle. It does fit the bill of being Coldplayesque.

I like this song.

 

It sounds so familiar already because of all the Coldplay related sounds.

 

I think I even hear some Paradise strings in it too at around 00:13 - 00:14 and 00:27- 00:28.
