HowCouldIForget Posted November 4, 2019 Share Posted November 4, 2019 It's quite interesting to see how different everyone's rankings are. I think only one person's is close to mine. We have such a varied fanbase here. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HowCouldIForget Posted November 4, 2019 Share Posted November 4, 2019 I always check the Wikipedia page for Coldplay's new albums because somehow they end up with info I never find. And: -Sunrise is credited to Coldplay and Davide Rossi -Church is credited to Coldplay and Jacob Collier, who has been mentioned previously. Also...Stargate. Not thrilled to hear that! -Cry Cry Cry is credited to Coldplay, Jacob Collier and two others: Bertrend Berns who was a songwriter from the 60's and produced Brown Eyed Girl for Van Morrison (you've probably heard it) and Jerry Ragovoy who wrote for The Rolling Stones, amongst others. -The Arabic titled track is credited to Coldplay and Alice Coltrane who is a famous jazz musician -Champion of the World is credited to Coldplay and a few others, notably Scott Hutchinson who founded indie band Frightened Rabbit and recently died at only 36. Overall, I'm definitely getting good vibes from this. Let's just hope Stargate's influence here is minimal. 5 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coldplaymakesmyday Posted November 4, 2019 Share Posted November 4, 2019 My rankings would probably be: 1. Viva La Vida 2. AROBTTH 3. Parachutes (Although I think EL might be #3, I won't be completely sure until I hear the rest of it.) 4. Everyday Life 5. Ghost Stories 6. X&Y 7. MX 8. AHFOD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shred Posted November 4, 2019 Share Posted November 4, 2019 -Champion of the World is credited to Coldplay and a few others, notably Scott Hutchinson who founded indie band Frightened Rabbit and recently died at only 36. Oh this is interesting! I love FR and was devastated to hear about his death. Looking forward to this song a lot more now if it’s true. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zero Theory Posted November 4, 2019 Share Posted November 4, 2019 1. AROBTTH 2. VLV 3. MX 4. X&Y 5. Parachutes 6. GS 7. AHFOD At the very least, I expect EL will be above GS and AHFOD. I have a hard time seeing it having a chance to go above 3 for me. VLV and AROBTTH are too special. I think EL will fall somewhere between the 3rd and 6th spot, for me. But let's hear the other 13-14 songs first :joy: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danirl87 Posted November 4, 2019 Share Posted November 4, 2019 I typed in Coldplay Everyday Life on Google and the majority of songs besides two 1st singles show up as 4m26s wonder if it's glitch or one songs that long Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
42Escapist Posted November 4, 2019 Share Posted November 4, 2019 I wouldn't rank Everybody Life with the albums yet when we only have 3 songs. But if we pretend those 3 songs are an EP... 1. Prospekt's March 2. The Blue Room/Safety 3. Everyday Life 4. Kaleidoscope 5. ETIAW 6. Brothers & Sisters I always check the Wikipedia page for Coldplay's new albums because somehow they end up with info I never find.

Overall, I'm definitely getting good vibes from this. Let's just hope Stargate's influence here is minimal. Stargate? Again?!? I like what I see from the rest of that list though...it suggests a very old school vibe with some indie rock thrown in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Square1.36 Posted November 4, 2019 Share Posted November 4, 2019 -Cry Cry Cry is credited to Coldplay, Jacob Collier and two others: Bertrend Berns who was a songwriter from the 60's and produced Brown Eyed Girl for Van Morrison (you've probably heard it) and Jerry Ragovoy who wrote for The Rolling Stones, amongst others. Okay thanks to you (and whoever the blessed soul is who updated Wikipedia) I think I might've stumbled upon a discovery. So Bertrend Berns and Jerry Ragovoy actually wrote a song together titled 'Cry Baby' which was recorded by Garnett Mimms and the Enchanters in 1963, and just listen to that beginning:- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SBVFcnbAz28 Sounds uncannily like the snippet of 'Cry Cry Cry' that was played at the start of the press conference (with an additional "Cry"). I'm fairly certain this track was sampled for the song. Janis Joplin also recorded a cover in 1970 so could be from that too, though I think the voice matches up more with the original. -Champion of the World is credited to Coldplay and a few others, notably Scott Hutchinson who founded indie band Frightened Rabbit and recently died at only 36. Also I'm absolutely pumped about Scott Hutchinson being featured here -- was turned onto FR through the Midnight Organ Fight tribute album that came out earlier this year and instantly fell in love with Scott's vocals/lyrics. I'd be really happy even if it was just him singing the entire song, even though it's Coldplay's. Couldn't ask for a more fitting conclusion than that. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think this album is gonna be a good one. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomRiver Posted November 4, 2019 Share Posted November 4, 2019 I have no doubt now after seeing the credits, that the original "November 22, 1919" video on YouTube is the track 'Sunrise'. It'll be an instrumental album opener with Davide Rossi arranging the strings we heard from the video. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aaronm360 Posted November 4, 2019 Share Posted November 4, 2019 Stargate.... not thrilled to hear that. According to Tidal, Genius and Wikipedia, Max Martin co-wrote and produced Orphans...fingers crossed Stargate's involvement will be as minimal as Max Martin's appears to be. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MosesTheMarshmallow Posted November 4, 2019 Share Posted November 4, 2019 Maybe it'll sound like... Unfortunate hypothesis - Life is Beautiful may be dead, because the lyrics look like they may have been recycled into Arabesque: "There's a new song coming on the radio Frutas florecen en todo el mundo Let the flowers all blossom The hummingbirds hum We're all born equal under the same sun Someone could be you and you could be someone So do to each other as you would be done" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iamsue Posted November 4, 2019 Share Posted November 4, 2019 Ok, so here’s a random theory I have been mulling over this weekend since hearing Everyday Life. Do you think the whole “Sunrise, Sunset” theme could be about the whole of one’s life, with the songs ranging from birth to childhood to all stages of life? If so, the last song would be sort of at peace with itself. What do you think?? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If so, the last song would be sort of at peace with itself. What do you think?? Interesting that you say that cause I've heard this theory before, but for Viva. That Viva would represent all stages of life in order (LiT - birth, childhood, youth, love, adulthood, death). But I think it's quite a stretch and doesn't fit perfectly. About Everyday Life, I feel like it really is supposed to represent one day (an "everyday") from the start to its end and back to the start of the next day (The Album basically ends with "First light, throw my arms open wide"). 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
