michal91d Posted July 8, 2020 Share Posted July 8, 2020 (edited) 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. ? ?

TheLostColdplayer Posted August 24, 2021 Share Posted August 24, 2021 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? ? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 ?

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! ? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
