Coldplay LP9 Rumours - FFTF 2024 | Music of the Spheres

[Doomotron 31]

I'm hoping for A View From The Top, Moses, A Ghost and Lukas but that's unrealistic, and as much as I'd like actual releases of the reprises form Live 2012 that's sadly not going to happen either. What about Lethal Drug? I like that one a lot. And what about Flags? It wouldn't be the first time a Japan-only song is released worldwide.

Added A Ghost and Moses to the list of songs I wish were released.

Flags was released on Spotify (unsure about Apple Music) a few weeks back in the UK and I’m guessing the rest of the world too. I must says it’s a really great song.

So it is, I didn't see it. That's one off my checklist...

[Beckett B 31]

I think that Music of the Spheres is definitely going to have spatial rhythms, maybe it has a lot of synths, and I also think it has something to do with Los Unidades

Just out of curiosity, has anybody been keeping a running list of unreleased songs that might appear on this album? E.g.:

1) The Race
2) Us Against the World [reworked and "finished" as Chris mentioned in Together at home]
3) UFO (#2)

I'm hoping we can finally hear Tomorrow, which was left off of MX and Ghost Stories.

Who knows, this is a long shot, but maybe we'll get Until The Water Flows Over. It's referenced in the AHFOD documentary so maybe the band was inspired to revisit it. Arabesque and ALIENS were both worked on in the sessions for MX... but the band still finished and released them years later, so I suppose any of the old unreleased songs could be fair game.

I think Lethal Drug may be the same as a song called Love In A Lethal Dose that was left off of MX. So maybe Coldplay could revisit it and then release the leaked version of Lethal Drug as an "Avicii mix" bonus track or something. Or they might want to leave Lethal Drug alone out of respect for Avicii.

Why would they put/hide something related to a Los Unidades project in the Everyday Life booklet?

Sooo, here’s a list of potential LP9 songs from all your lovely recommendations: 😌🛸

Us Against the World

UFO (#2)

The Race

A View From the Too

A Ghost

Lukas

Lethal Drug / Love in a lethal dose

Tomorrow

Until the Water Flows Over

[WskCarlosG 69]

I was thinking that U.F.O that Chris mentioned could be related to the outro that can be heard from minute 2:00 in the song U.F.O by Mylo Xyloto 🤔

I've always liked that little outro. It reminds me of Poppyfields.

UFO 2 and the reworked Us Against The World make me think that MOTS is going to be a sort of sequel to Mylo Xyloto. Kind of like how Everyday Life feels like a sequel to Viva with all the strings and the experimentation.

I think that outro was just a bridge to Princess of China. Because that guitar sounds too much like Acoustic version of the song that released later.

So Sad

[Miha 198]

On Chris' live instagram stream Guy commented that he play Macadamu - supposedly a new song, too?

At this stage nothing is confirmed to be on the album of course but I am guessing that any of the old titles might appear as they like them.

I wonder who is producing them this time though, if it's the same team or any new/old friends.

[DJK 146]

Updated list 🙂

Us Against the World
UFO (#2)
The Race
A View From the Too
A Ghost
Lukas
Lethal Drug / Love in a lethal dose
Tomorrow
Until the Water Flows Over
Rescue St
Life is Beautiful
Car Kids
So Sad

[42Escapist 2229]

Every Coldplay album has had a title track (including Viva, which had two of them, and Ghost Stories, though that one was a bonus track), so I don't think it's far-fetched to expect that there's gonna be a song called Music of the Spheres.

Some of this songs are too old that I don't see them revisiting for a potential release on LP9... Lukas was released by Natalie Inbruglia (Chris gave her the song). 

Gosh it's kinda frustrating to know some potential gems are laying around as unreleased demos on the band's studio... WE NEED THEM ALL. One of the most wanted demos is Car Kids, which seems to be a finished song on its own according to the Mylo Xyloto pop-up book. Also, Tomorrow/World Without You seems interesting (GS era).

Also I think "Heart On Fire" has a good chance to be on the new album. Leaked snippets from it can be found on the internet.

I heard the snippet and I think it was just a proof of concept, Chris is kinda mumbling on there hahaha

I think of all these, I only see these songs come out on the next album

UFO # 2 (Someone Special)

Us Against the World (Most likely called Silver Bird and probably like an Interlude)

The Race

[nowthesky 11]

hi guys! it's always a pleasure to wait a new lp with you and read all your theories. I have a question: I'm not so good with english and probably I missed a part of the discussion, so why are you all talking about a project that will surely contain old unreleased song? What are the clues that say that in a clear way? Thank you, an hug to all of you 🙂

There aren't any actual clues for any song other than The Race (which we're 99% certain will be on the next album). We're just looking at recently found unreleased songs like Lethal Drug and guessing which ones are the most likely to be released on the album.
