Coeurli Posted October 27, 2019 Share Posted October 27, 2019 Now that we have the official track list, we can discuss each track individually! What do you think the 8th track and last track of Sunrise/Everyday life will sound like ? :sunrise: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lennyrott1 Posted October 28, 2019 Share Posted October 28, 2019 Sounds kinda piano-balladey sad and mopey. After the explosive ending to Arabesque I'd expect this one to sound quieter. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tom043 Posted October 28, 2019 Share Posted October 28, 2019 Was said in the BBC interview that this one is very emotional right? I expect this one to be a piano ballad, that talks about needing friends after being displaced. Talking about a person that still gives hope to someone after being displaced/traumatised. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shred Posted October 28, 2019 Share Posted October 28, 2019 As much as I love their ballad's, the band hasn't really put out a good emotional one since O. There was nothing in VLV and Up in Flames was crap. And all their ballads have been too simple and weepy for me. Haha. So I'm hoping this one is more like Amsterdam or even Fix You. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I ran away Posted October 31, 2019 Share Posted October 31, 2019 As much as I love their ballad's, the band hasn't really put out a good emotional one since O. Agree. Their ballads pre-Viva were so good but the latter ones have been really disappointing (looking at you, Everglow...) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ColdplayingfromKansas Posted November 23, 2019 Share Posted November 23, 2019 You guys I actually gasped when I heard this one. Those harmonies are fucking gorgeous. There are some real stand-outs on this album but When I Need a Friend might be in my top 3. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kcp Posted November 23, 2019 Share Posted November 23, 2019 Does anyone know what is said at the end of this song ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shred Posted November 23, 2019 Share Posted November 23, 2019 I definitely prefer the live version with the choir coming in towards the end. Not a fan of the choir drowning out Chris throughout in the studio version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jdckcom Posted November 26, 2019 Share Posted November 26, 2019 Here's the story behind the man that speaks at the end of this song. His name was Agustin Lopez Pacheco and was featured in a short documentary film back in 2012 about his dream of building a helicopter at his home in a small town in Honduras. He was a very religious man but at the same time he was sadled with disabilty from an early age as he was born with polio. Unfortunately he passed away some time ago but his story lives on in the way of this short film. If you don't like the sample with his voice maybe watch the video. I feel like I understand why Chris wanted to include it in the record as a way of saying that maybe everything around us is great and everything is terrible so we get to take in the best things and go on. After all that's everyday life. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coeurli Posted November 27, 2019 Author Share Posted November 27, 2019 BY FAR one of my favourites on the album!!! To me it's breahtakingly beautiful, and also kind of Christmas-y? The lyrics, the choir, the speech.... I love everything in this song It's a perfect example of them experimenting with different sounds (church choir, speech) and they just make it work within a Coldplay album....It should not be a Coldplay song and yet it is, and it makes sense. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jdckcom Posted July 12, 2020 Share Posted July 12, 2020 Hi everyone. Hope all of you are doing well. Just came by to once again praise this absolute grandiose piece of music. Maybe I have gone mad but everytime I hear this song my mind goes to so many places. Good places. Anyway just wanted to say that. So fucking amazing. Take care.
