42Escapist Posted November 12, 2019 Share Posted November 12, 2019 I had another dream about the album last night, after dreaming about Sunrise a couple weeks ago. Can't remember exactly which of the new songs we haven't heard yet was which, but one of them totally sounded like something from Parachutes and one sounded a bit like a slower version of Lost! with less percussion. I really liked what I heard, fingers crossed... I was actually fairly spot on back in 2015 when I had a dream about AHFOD (the song) before it came out, I dreamt it was an uptempo stadium rock anthem with Chris singing lots of "whoaaaas." :D Guys... I can't believe no one is voting for "Sparks" on their YouTube poll... I mean don't get me wrong I'm glad VLV is winning but how ASFOS is second over Sparks... I'm blown away haha! I'd love to see them play a modern live rendition of Sparks. It’s like the whole send in your request thing for the last tour all over again. :expressionless: Put in my vote for Sparks. Gosh I'd be so excited if it won. Lol honestly why is included? It almost feels like Coldplay put that there as joke given 90% of new fans probably couldn't hum sparks if they were asked. But then also maybe it's lowkey Coldplay seeking affirmation and hoping people still like Parachutes. Either way, really gave me a chuckle to see this poll. It's like, "What would you like performed live? Our catchy indie bop, Magic? Our biggest hit ever, Viva La Vida? Our modern EDM-inspired bangers? Or how about our all-time quietest, most introspective song?' Y'all are spot-on... I don't think Sparks has a chance at all, at least they are acknowledging its existence but this is probably just gonna be the AHFOD tour audience request thing all over again. I voted for Sparks but at least Viva has a chance and fits the vibe of this era more than Magic, ASFOS, and SJLT. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I ran away Posted November 12, 2019 Share Posted November 12, 2019 VOTE FOR SPARKS EVERYONE. Since the Coldplay fandom saw the poll, the percentage went from 10% up to 20%, it's currently 2nd but ASFOS is very close and casual fans/casual viewers will vote for it, so keep voting to make sure Sparks at least stays 2nd. There might be a chance the band will play two songs. Btw - do I like Sparks more than Viva ? No, absolutely not. But do I want Sparks to win this poll ? Absolutely yes. A rare opportunity to make a point to the band that we care about and cherish older album tracks !! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Blue_Room Posted November 12, 2019 Share Posted November 12, 2019 Sad to see Sparks being put up against their big hits, they must have known before they put it up that it would lose because of the casual fans who have never heard of it. I have 5 YouTube accounts (don't ask why) so I'll vote once with each one. It’s like the whole send in your request thing for the last tour all over again. :expressionless: Yep!!! The illusion of fan interaction and a chance at a rare track played live, until it becomes obvious they'll play In My Place and Til Kingdom Come every night for eternity no matter what. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

onlylove Posted November 12, 2019 Share Posted November 12, 2019 I totally voted for Sparks. I have seen all the other songs live - Sparks would be so special because I missed Parachute era concerts but I was a fan during Parachutes era. Even if it doesn't win first if we can get it to second, they should play it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shred Posted November 12, 2019 Share Posted November 12, 2019 They should have added in violet hill instead of VLV. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prco1994 Posted November 12, 2019 Share Posted November 12, 2019 Ok guys, Sparks is at 21%, winning second place, VLV is 44%, we only need double the votes we already cast, if each of us who already voted Sparks gets a second YT account we’ll reach Viva haha 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

prco1994 Posted November 12, 2019 Share Posted November 12, 2019 I was just going through the poll’s comments and they’re gonna have a hard time finding questions through all the “play sparks” comments lol! If they’re good sports they’ll play the winning song and then add a bonus “sparks” just for the fans 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IcebatofvalikinRRBZ8 Posted November 12, 2019 Share Posted November 12, 2019 Was hoping it go to 100 Million by the end of the month. Maybe it'll go back up after album release/Jordan live stream. Same for the 3 lyric videos. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HowCouldIForget Posted November 12, 2019 Share Posted November 12, 2019 One of the things I love about Arabesque is how the acoustic guitar is the base of the song and there's layering on top of it. Coldplay pretty much abandoned that style on AHFoD but you can hear it on classics like Cemeteries of London, Strawberry Swing, Hurts Like Heaven and Charlie Brown. :) 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LelieJens Posted November 12, 2019 Share Posted November 12, 2019 I think they were planning on playing VLV even before the poll. In this photo of the guitar, you can clearly see timpani in the background (and even the bell above? Not sure about that though). Would love to hear Sparks, but I think they already knew VLV was going to win. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
