July 8, 20205 yr ago, stephen said: Legends is a separate song. The seller that sold the race also had Legends, Heart on Fire and Gold. All AHFOD era songs (I believe). My theory is that the old GS version of the race was brought into the AHFOD recording sessions and that's why it leaked along with other AHFOD era tracks. Are we talking about "Heart on Fire"? Somebody posted a 10-sec snippet of it on one of the facebook pages more than a month ago. Btw I'm still wondering if the video for "Cemeteries of London" that was available on one of the director's page will see the light of the day. ? ? Edited July 8, 20205 yr by michal91d

Some guy long time ago had it on his Vimeo page. http://www.coldplayzone.it/news/sta-arrivando-il-video-di-cemeteries-of-london We are talking about "The Race", however have anybody listened to the snippet "Heart on Fire"?
July 8, 20205 yr The Heart on Fire snippet is on YouTube. Not gonna share a link ? but it's easy to find. Never heard a snippet of Gold though.

December 22, 20205 yr I really don't like heart on fire... Btw could someone please DM me the race? It's not anywhere i can find.
July 26, 20214 yr Sooo, I guess The race won’t be released on Music Of the Spheres Vol. 1 ?... let’s hope it come son Vol.2!
August 24, 20214 yr Hi guys, I've been listening to the leaked version of "The Race" and, to me, it doesn't sound like any other song from Ghost Stories. I mean: 1) the production is not that minimalist, with a lot of echoes and vocal treatments, as well as a beat that does not seem to match that of GS; 2) the lyrics are not sad and reflective and resemble more those from AHFoD as they seem to refer to falling in love rather than going through a breakup (particularly those from the chorus); 3) the bridge "My heart is beating, the beat won’t stop I started sinking, drinking every drop" reminds me of "X Marks the Spot", in the way Chris sings on it; 4) references to kaleidoscopes were common in the AHFoD songs but not in those from GS. So I was thinking, are we sure that the leaked version is really the original song from GS and not an early reworked version for AHFoD? It's just an hypothesis... Also I can't remember the film edit of the song, have you managed to find it somewhere? ?

But then the breakup happened and they did Ghost Stories. So I wouldn't be surprised if that song or the idea happened long before the breakup. They were thinking of putting it on Ghost Stories but then decided to not include it (there is a picture with the Ghost Stories track list where it's listed), which makes sense since this song doesn't suit the album well. I'm not sure if I'm allowed to post a video link but if you type: The Race by Coldplay video mashup on YT, it's the first video ? Edited August 25, 20214 yr by X AND Y

Yes, also, whether or not the leaked version of "The Race" is the one from Ghost Stories, the first lines of the song appeared also in the the original, given that Mila Fürstová etched them on the armillary sphere on the album cover! ?
