harrisonrules Posted May 24, 2021 Share Posted May 24, 2021 If Human Heart is an actual track what instruments would you like to hear on it I'm hoping for strings of some sort 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheBigBadBono Posted May 24, 2021 Share Posted May 24, 2021 For those thinking that the new album was going to be a full-blown pop record with no redeeming songs, I think Human Heart is proof enough that this era will surprise some if not many people.Β I myself though that the collaborations in this album would be more generic and pandering to the public but I love these little features, which is part of the reason why I loved EL so much.Β It's also interesting, because no matter your opinion on the song - the lack of other band members being one of it - I don't think anyone can bash them here for being safe or pandering, because this song is somewhat a risk - almost no instrumentals, a cappella (remember what they said 10 years ago with Rescue Street?), and a much slower place in the style of Daddy, O, or When I Need a Friend. Like I said, I'm hugely optimistic about the new album despite how disappointing Higher Power was. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, the graphics with lyrics on the background have the Higher Power cd colors.Β I even thought about the posibility of having several EPs this era, each one representing one Sphere, instead of one big album.Β I don't know why that came to my mind.

merril Posted May 24, 2021 Share Posted May 24, 2021 Human Heart is an acapella song, but why don't the four of themΒ sing it? They did a lot of acapella singing while working with Brian Eno. Will has a great voice and so has Guy who has been a singerΒ for his band ApparatjikΒ and also Jonny doesn't sing badly. An acapella song with allΒ the four of them singing - that would really be great! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CP-EST Posted May 24, 2021 Share Posted May 24, 2021 I don't know if it's said anywhere, but these number combinations on postcards definitely seem to beΒ coordinates andΒ form a shape over Iran. I found out in reddit that there is 6 different combinations of these numbers and wrote them with last number being after point (for example 26.7, 50.2). I mean it could be coincidence that it forms a shape over Iran, because it could beΒ some other obscureΒ coordinate system..Β This is definitely weird, Coldplay or not. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the_escapist Posted May 24, 2021 Share Posted May 24, 2021 Watching the Red Nose mini-concert today I couldn't help thinking that something big is coming our way. The boys are rehearsing a lot - first at the London Palladium, now at the Alexandra Palace... That also leads me to think that the album is most likely done (if it were not, they would mostly be at studios and have the majority of their gear there)... I also noticed that for today, beside Phil's filming the mini-concert, the setup was to film professionally something else... Let's wait and see...

42Escapist Posted May 24, 2021 Share Posted May 24, 2021 (edited) It looks like people are really beginning to doubt that Coldplay is behind the postcards and poster in London. But I can't think of who else would be doing it at all. Maybe it's like those random monoliths people were building around the world. Whatever this is, it's pretty neat. Definitely feels like Coldplay because it's not too different from what they did when they teased Everyday Life. It's just awfully soon after they first launched the Alien Radio teaser site and social media accounts. And it's worth noting that the Alien Radio social media accounts have been silent for about a week. It could be that they're trying to shift the focus to the postcards. It could be that Higher Power comes from Kaotica but these postcards are supposed to be from aliens on a completely different planet, so naturally they're giving these new teasers a different aesthetic as opposed to what they used for Higher Power and Alien Radio. ?

thomas8987 Posted May 24, 2021 Share Posted May 24, 2021 (edited) Hi, I am relatively new here. So, hello. I have been watching Phil's backstage tour from yesterday's Tictok. And thought if the postcards areΒ from Coldplay...there might be a confirmation hidden in the tour. Why was he doing one? It felt a bit odd to me.Β I might be overthinking this, but here is what I noticed: - Several references to an arrival ('Band coming', 'Someone might be coming'...) - 'Down these GREEN steps.' I heard you,Β Phil. I heard you.Β - So, the arrows and taping on the floor is green to Phil - Guy's base had that neon green colour on it - When he says: 'Someone running' a greenΒ shape appears on the screenΒ (and is followed by) - The torch and the spotlight on the floor -? 'Nothing's changed' x 2Β ? Maybe a Bowie reference?Β - 'I hear noises...it's all very dark.'Β Β Like your postcards and the telephone calls. What do you think?

After reading this, I was like, "of course there must be something behind this behind the scenes thing... how come I didn't think about it before?" Ahaha anyways, I went to check and there are 2 additional things that caught my attention: 1. Phil points the camera at everything that is fluorescent green with special attention to the reflective vest. Why would he do it? The postcards are fluorescent green... 2. He focused a lot on the piano on the backstage and I took some prints. There are 3 symbols that could be the same as the ones on the postcards.

Su_Xyloto Posted May 25, 2021 Share Posted May 25, 2021 There is also a moment where we see "H4", "Paladium" and "28/10". I don't understand the first 2 things, but the third could be a date? Finally there is another thing that I don't understand on the images we have seen of "they are coming". The order of the "letters" changes so it's not really a word. What do you think?
