    Phil just confirmed that "The Race is coming very soon" during the stationhead broadcast. He also mentioned that "Aurora is currently having some problems joining the spheres" - could it be?!

The first snippet we ever got can be easily edited to sound like this, just to keep fooling us. I'm not buying this...

I hear a bit more than the first snippet though. At the end you can hear "heart is a volcano".

Well, yeah, that bit is new but still... it’s not the full song so... I’m not putting my hopes too high for a full release soon. This guy is trolling us.

Yeah I think he has it, but is just messing with people and looking for attention.

Ahhh... here we go again....

 

Let's try not to post in this thread until something new about this song actually happens... Kidding! xD I almost have a nano-heart attack everytime I see this thread being replied :(

Hi, everyone.

Glad to join the great community.

I REALLY love a lot of Coldplay's unreleased material, so it's great topic.

I lost the Viva demos many years ago. I remember loving The Fall of Man and its beautiful chorus.

Aren't the VLV demos on YouTube?

PLEASE DO NOT POST IN THIS THREAD IF THERE ISN'T ANY NEWS ABOUT THIS SONG!!!

Well, it seems that we will soon get The Race, maybe as the first single from Music of the Spheres

I don't think so... We'll have to wait a lot more I guess... 

BTW We're not supposed to post in this thread unless something really happens! :O

Wow this piece sounds fuller. (I mean the harmonies and instruments) And I think it's good news if I say it has a more present space atmosphere (Music of the Spheres)...

LET'S GO! This sounds so good! Let's hope the boys release this banga before it more or less gets leaked to oblivion. 

Holy hell this came outta nowhere! 
Chris reaching those high notes again! Is this a piece of the chorus perhaps? I would’ve thought the chorus would have been repetitions of that opening verse (whatever it takes). 
The beat I notice is very consistent and appears in all the segments of The Race that’s we’ve heard too.

Edit: On second listen, This is actually the next piece of the song from the segment we heard with that annoying audio watermark (www. whatever). It’s awesome flow from the verse to the chorus and I also noticed it had the riff that we heard from the AHFOD film underneath Chris’s “I won’t fall” lyric.

This would’ve been so powerful on Ghost Stories just sayin

I hate to tell you this, guys, but this is certainly fake. Seems that someone just pasted the old AHFOD film snippet on top of another old snippet of The Race that had that part of the lyrics and this is the result of such "prank". You can tell by how the sound seems like a whole mess when the battery kicks in, there's no cohesion to it. Plus I can clearly remember the snippet that had the "I won't fall" part, 

I just hate it when some people play with the hopes of our community, laughing at us by throwing false demos/snippets or flexing about having them. 

I also hope Phil keeps his word on releasing The Race someday... Anyway guys, this snippet seems BS to me by said reasons...
