AnaMarie 318 Posted October 16, 2019 I have a little theory if anyone in need for another one haha Anyways, They started to use the "solar eclipse" emoji combination on some videos on YouTube, also earlier this week they added the new moon\"eclipsed" icon to the little moon phase graphic on the website. [ATTACH alt=Capture.PNG]9317[/ATTACH] The next new moon will occur on Monday the 28th of October, so I guess something will be released that day, or at the weekend prior to that (as singles usually being released on Fridays nowadays) interesting theory... the answer is in plain sight and we need to find it! hehehehehehe! We always need more theories. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AnaMarie 318 Posted October 16, 2019 So, you think the MVs they chose to turn black and white were just picked at random, in order to fit the era of the poster? Iunno, i think its deeper than that. Not so much as choosing those songs randomly, we know they were choosen for a reason( they freaking add to 42 minutes, on the 42nd week of the year!); I'm talking about the meaning of the "black and white" effect itself....(insert pepe silvia meme) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Jordanator 728 Posted October 16, 2019 So there’s an eclipse happened in 22 November 1919 as we all know. The thing is the most longest eclipse was happened in Brazil and it lasted for 11 and half minutes which is the same place the posters showed Up And the poster was only displayed for 11 and a half minutes! :p 2 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
42Escapist 2107 Posted October 16, 2019 By the way, are we sure it's Nietzsche in that picture? They date it as 22 November 1919, but Nietzsche died in 1900. Isn't there a similarly moustached musician from that era who was alive in 1919 and better fits the Fool's Gold theme? I think it's worth noting that Nietzsche was born on October 15th, 1844 EDIT: corrected the year 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

prco1994 377 Posted October 16, 2019 Also I CANNOT stress this enough, as someone who graduated in psychology and philosophy, the man on the poster is NOT Nietzsche, I still have his face imprinted in my brain and it’s not him hahaha! that was just the style in the turn of the century, many men looked like that, big moustaches, etc, you’ll find many other examples of men with that look for sure! If it does end up being Nietzsche, and it is explicitly proved by the band; I’ll eat a picture of the cover of the new album (whatever it ends up being) and I’ll post proof!!! Hahaha mark my words 4 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gideon_Mx 3173 Posted October 16, 2019 No, the “eclipse” icon was add on the website in December 2015 And the moon wasn't visible back then :/ I noticed the ''eclipse'' icon on Coldplay's website only today because I never really payed attention to it. It's almost a full moon! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I've tried reverse image search but all that comes out is a bunch of photos of different men with big moustaches To be 100% honest with you, I think he’s just filler, I think they took a picture of an old jazz band and superimposed the boys to make them look like part of the old band, don’t think they’re of any relevance except to set the moot/fit the time period 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jc90 2716 Posted October 16, 2019 we know they were choosen for a reason Right, im more interested in what that reason is. I dont think black and white is relevant, only to mirror the theme (of the poster). 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AnaMarie 318 Posted October 16, 2019 I'm gonna say it, crazy theory on the way: What if the songs that were chosen are going to be "Transformed" or be the basis for the songs in the new LP8; what I mean is, what if the "experimental" side of the album is the decontruction of the songs choosen, and rearranged, transformed... like a solar ecplise, something going/passing over another thing. We must find the relationship of those songs choosen, the meaning is found in HOW they are related! IDK!!!!!!! btw, I may be going crazy so dont mark my words..hahahah! 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
E-OR 4 Posted October 16, 2019 No, the “eclipse” icon was add on the website in December 2015 Ah sorry, I thought the eclipse icon is new, my bad, anyways it still makes a bit of sense (even if a bit less haha) 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gideon_Mx 3173 Posted October 16, 2019 So, if the source was legit the Coldplay poster (saying ''November 22, 1919'') should appear in the same metro station in São Paulo again within the next few hours people =D 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Essam 117 Posted October 16, 2019 So the League of Nations formed in 1919 after the WW1 and then failed and couldn’t prevent WW2 what if the album Fools Gold is about the League of Nations 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Essam 117 Posted October 16, 2019 The 8 Songs every song talk about something or represents a subject if we combined them it make sense if the album talks about the dark times after WW1 and how LoN failed to prevent another WW. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
merril 499 Posted October 16, 2019 Lol! But like I said, if it indeed ends up being Nietzsche, I’ll print the cover of the new album and eat it Hahahaha You won't have to eat the new album cover.
