Krizer 312 Posted March 2, 2017 I really think this is one among Coldplay's most beautiful songs. Really loving Will's backing vocals too. Let's hope that they will be playing this on tour :) 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ColdplayingfromKansas 773 Posted March 2, 2017 Aaaahhhh this is so good. X&Y meets Ghost Stories with a Jonny solo straight from the ARoBttH tour [emoji24] Maybe the guys are going dream-pop now?? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pansonic 118 Posted March 2, 2017 It is that song from the Soundcheck! Has been cooking for quite some time, it seems. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
I ran away 12777 Posted March 2, 2017 I have been feeling tired all day due to lack of sleep, and somehow I feel that looping this song has only aggravated my tiredness :joy: It makes me want to lie down somewhere and close my eyes... 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AMDB9 4693 Posted March 2, 2017 This is amazing!! I have to start my day, but all I want to do is play this on repeat! I think no matter if you prefer AHFOD or X&Y or whatever, this song is for you!! 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Captain Crieff 1824 Posted March 2, 2017 Yesssss this is good. I was so happy when I heard that guitar! It would've been a bit dull without it, but JB the secret weapon strikes again :heart: Oh and I love how Chris shouts 'J!' <3333 Even the lyrics are good (yes I'm a bit surprised lol) 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Captain Crieff 1824 Posted March 2, 2017 By the way, can any of the mods please correct the spelling in the title to "Hypnotised" ? I was too excited and made a little mistake there... :blush: Done! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jjmor95 51 Posted March 2, 2017 All I can say for now is that it's so much better than Something Just Like This. Needs more listens. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Batman 2646 Posted March 2, 2017 I think the song's good, but I don't like the bell-like sound from the intro that loops through the song. Same, reminds me of these cheesy 80s songs (or was it the 90s?). I like the last third of the song. What is it with Coldplay's recent songs and them only getting good at their last thirds!? Before that the song just idles and doesn't really pick up. Also, the lyrics are bordering on cringeness quite often, I mean: "I'm hyp" COME ON Anyways, I get what Chris is trying to sing about, I mean, hell he can sing about whatever he freaking likes. But, maybe, he should uhm, try to broaden his lyrical repertoire a little. The lyrics sound very wooden and jolty at times. Nonetheless! The melody is great, very dramatic. The instrumental gets good later into the song. I can enjoy it when I'm not listening to the lyrics too closely... so not too bad I guess lol. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

gai 2752 Posted March 2, 2017 i've been looping this song since i woke up and that the first time i've done that since ghost story :) good song. wish chris worked on the chorus a bit more. "i'm hyp.. hypnotised..." but for the most part, it is sunrise all right, after the dark something just like this. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AMDB9 4693 Posted March 2, 2017 The way he sings "float like an eagle" reminds me of Atlas 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WeddingDom 117 Posted March 2, 2017 My God what a lovely song, nice way to start my day. I'm very curious about SJLT. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
I ran away 12777 Posted March 2, 2017 Yeah, that "Now I'm hyp, hypnotised" part sounds awkward, cause it sounds like "Now I'm hip" :D "Now I'm here, hypnotized" would have been the better option imho. Other than that, I think this song is among his better lyrical works of recent times, though :) 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Xylobryte7 259 Posted March 2, 2017 Wow, was not expecting to wake up and see a new song. But it's amazing! Has me even more excited for the EP! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pansonic 118 Posted March 2, 2017 Now I'm hip...HIPLY hip. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WeddingDom 117 Posted March 2, 2017 Lyric video makes it look like he says he's a hip, they should have written it in a differerent way to show that he takes a pause to say the whole word. I'm hip-- Hipnotised! I don't know. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ARushOfDreamsToMyHead 158 Posted March 2, 2017 Loved it! Favorite part of the song was Chris' high notes early on. You just can't beat it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jc90 2733 Posted March 2, 2017 im just happy that (mostly) everyone (oldplayers and newplayers) are happy with the song :) isn't it so much nicer when we all get along?!?!?! 7 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
a2iel 176 Posted March 2, 2017 It's ok, I just can't get over the twangy country guitars in the background.. If it wasn't for that I'd love it cause in the beginning I heard it being almost Sigur Ros-like, but then those guitars came in and changed the feel entirely..

CP-EST 36 Posted March 2, 2017 This is a surprise release certainly... What I really like about this song, is that the whole atmosphere of the song is reflecting and supporting the lyrics perfectly. The beauty of this song relies on the good production and mix, which you can enjoy only on a good audio system. The progression of the song and instruments coming in throughout the song is really really good. I liked each element of this song and in live performance it may sound even more pure. In conclusion, it's a beautiful song, produced perfectly. It won't be a hit and it isn't the goal for this song, but certainly it's one of the nicest Coldplay songs, showing the real depth of Coldplay again. It might be the most progressive song from Coldplay and I have always been waiting them to write more long and progressive songs. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
