andrewsky 466 Posted November 21, 2019 Nah, Spotify is lossy. I'll wait for a lossless version, best option would be an official release globally. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

strawberrytom 108 Posted November 21, 2019 OK so it's really nice and has a similar vibe to Vampire Weekend's recent output like people of mentioned but I don't know what to do with it. I was originally planning on putting it after guns or Eko but I don't know if it fits now I've heard it but then again the album is so varied, maybe it just needs time in that spot to feel part of the bigger picture Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jdckcom 107 Posted November 21, 2019 Interesting song. Reminds me of "Miracles" and "Ghost Story". Definitely feels like a B-side but also could be one of the more conventional Coldplay songs of this era so far. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Durk 51 Posted November 21, 2019 that's the best song off the album imo - even in low quality and i love the rest of the album 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SkyFullOfTrouble 97 Posted November 21, 2019 So, does anybody know when we can order the album version with flags on it? I need it as a gift for my sisters birthday :) But i couldn't find any information where and when i can order it because i am not living in Japan. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Captain Crieff 1824 Posted November 21, 2019 I heard it don't send it to me um if you're willing to go through the trouble, you can PM multiple people at once https://www.coldplaying.com/forum/index.php?conversations/add also, for those who are after a link, please just PM someone who's offering to share instead of clogging up this thread with "please PM me"s 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

42Escapist 2126 Posted November 21, 2019 It's such a sweet song... yet raw and not really cheesy, with Jonny absolutely killing it! And I sense a kind of sadness underneath, like maybe the speaker is talking to a passed loved one and asking for advice. "I know that I am living, can you show me how to live?" is one of my favorite lyrics from this era. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Miha 196 Posted November 21, 2019 Hi everybody, can anyone send me a link to a normal version of a song. I only got an low-fi from a member (which I'm thankful) but would love the HQ version. Thank you! By the way, song sounds fantastic why is it off the album!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

beastwars 545 Posted November 21, 2019 Listened to it: good but kinda forgettable imho. Not enough relevant to be included in the album, but it's not bad Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kaisin 46 Posted November 21, 2019 Ready to share the link now, how do I DM everybody who requested? I'd very much appreciate it if you could send me a link via PM, I live in Mexico so I won't have the chance to listen to it on an official release for quite some time :( Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jc90 2733 Posted November 21, 2019 JC90 verdict - Me likeeeeeeeeeeey so groovy, I mean, you can tell from the 30 second preview, but I knew I had to get my earholes on it as soon as I heard it. Full version (low fi version I heard) satisfies me. Beginning almost sounds like Vitamins or something Coldplay made in the 90s, or maybe its that guitar effect, but either way, im a fan. Sounds legit like a (pre) parachutes era song in a good way! edit :sorry, wasnt Vitamins (actually didnt know a full version existed, but youtubed it). 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
42Escapist 2126 Posted November 21, 2019 "And the Holy Roman Army Said your heart beats like everyone else" Sounds kind of like a Viva-era lyric to me! 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
coldplaymakesmyday 448 Posted November 22, 2019 This might sound kind of weird, but I love this song because I'm insecure about my nationality. I really like the part where Chris says that your flag doesn't determine who you are, and you can still be important no matter what. My room has flags from other countries in it, but I still refuse to get one for my home country. This song made me feel a little bit better with the nationality I'm permanently stuck with. It's not that I hate my country or the people living here, and I feel very lucky to be born where I was. But I feel like no matter where I was born, I'd still be unhappy with where I'm from. 4 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jc90 2733 Posted November 22, 2019 So heres a trick to how to listen. Pretty sure this isnt technically breaking rules, but it is gray, i'll leave it to mods to determine. The link FROM THE OFFICIAL COLDPLAY YOUTUBE PAGE is here Again, not breaking any rules here because its straight from Coldplay It will say the video is unavail because you probably need to be in Japan to listen. So, go to your browser's add ons or extensions store and look up a VPN changer to change to Japan. Poof. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LelieJens 371 Posted November 22, 2019 I'm puzzled why it's only available in Japan, what's the deal with that? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jc90 2733 Posted November 22, 2019 I'm puzzled why it's only available in Japan, what's the deal with that? Not the first time Coldplay gave Japan some sort of exclusive. But I dont think it will last forever, more like giving Japan a head start then the rest of the world will get access. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
