The Jordanator Posted November 11, 2020 Share Posted November 11, 2020 Beautiful song ❤️ must have been one of the singles for the proposed ‘Wedding Album’ at the time 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I ran away Posted November 11, 2020 Share Posted November 11, 2020 (edited) My take is: All summer we hung round On the streets of our hometown Dreamed about us getting close Dressing in your wedding clothes All summer it went on We got Kings of Leon on Got me in a tripped-out haze As the hours turned into days We were Oooohhh Oooohhh Got drunk, fell in love Love is a lethal drug Got drunk, take too much Love is a lethal drug All summer we belong To the wave we're riding on Feeling slowly sinking in Lying back and watch your heaven spin In the head the patterns soar Buying more fake decor stars I don't know what lost to win Just give me one, give me one more hit Oooohhh Oooohhh I got drunk, fell in love Love is a lethal drug Fell down, pick it up Love is a lethal stop I just can't give you up Got you coursing through my blood I just can't get enough Love is a lethal drug Love is a lethal drug Yeah Dododododododododdodododo Dododododododododdodododo dododododododododdodododo dododododododododdodododo Just went up in smoke I wheel up with another dose I soar with my body floats Love in a lethal dose Love in a lethal dose Love in a lethal dose Edited November 11, 2020 by I ran away 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I ran away Posted November 11, 2020 Share Posted November 11, 2020 By the way, I keep wondering if the chimy synth pad you can hear in the background of Lethal Drug is the same as the one used in Birds. It sounds like the same pad to me! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gideon_Mx Posted November 12, 2020 Share Posted November 12, 2020 It really is a beautiful song, I just listened to it after a long long time! I missed it! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well in my theory, some MX songs eventually turned into AHFOD songs, colourful theme. Like Chris would often do, write songs and then hide them for a couple of years. Chris do like the word Bird, Silver Birds or Up With The Birds etc. But anyway there's no strong evidence showing Birds was written in MX era.

Totally agree! It's such a shame the band didn't choose to make LIALD to the album. Like a long lost jewel in my opinion. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I missed it! Btw the guitar track is easy to pick up. Like about four chords in total, starting with B major and then E major, A major, C minor in the chorus part. Recently I performed this song in my college, my mates said it is a great song! Edited March 17, 2021 by Admirice 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoping that in MOTS we could hear some MX reworked songs. I would die if four of them decide to put Love In A Lethal Dose into the LP9! 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gideon_Mx Posted November 13, 2020 Share Posted November 13, 2020 If you don't mind me asking, isn't the song actually called ''Lethal Drug''? Or did you use a different song title on purpose? Or maybe I missed something ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This song was actually named Love In A Lethal Dose in MX era, but somehow it changed into Lethal Drug when handed to Avicii. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was in the songlist wall while they were recording MX (You can see it in South Bank Show). Also it's in the north american tour book of MX as first planned setlist for Glastonbury 2011 (as L.I.A.L.D, but we know it's basically Love in a Lethal Dose). 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also it says L.I.A.L.D. or T. K. Come. That means it could be an acoustic song and guitar richment in the song supports this theory. Another things are Car Kids after Charlie Brown and the last song. They first planned to play Moving to Mars but then decided to Up with the Birds. But then they changed their mind again and decided to play ETIAW. Also i know that they planned Moving to Mars to be the last song on the album instead of Up with the Birds. Coldplay has a thing that they play album opener as concert opener and album closer as concert closer so maybe that's why they planned Moving to Mars and Up with the Birds in this setlist. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its great to see proof that Charlie Brown and Car Kids are separate songs... :D Also this means LIALD has a MX version!!! Wow! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lennyrott1 Posted November 18, 2020 Share Posted November 18, 2020 Oh wow interesting!!!! WHAT IS CAR KIDS!???! I had kinda convinced myself that it was either HLH or Charlie Brown but this clearly shows that it's most likely it's own song. AGH. Given the material they reused for Everyday Life, so I also wonder if LP9 uses updated versions of Car Kids or LIALD 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MartyMcFly1 Posted November 18, 2020 Share Posted November 18, 2020 I've always assumed Car Kids was the outro on Charlie Brown...whether or not that is the remnants of another song, who knows? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xyloband_99 Posted November 18, 2020 Share Posted November 18, 2020 Maybe they took a part of car kids and used it in Charlie Brown. Like they did it with Aiko. Main melody of Aiko is used in Major Minus’ brisge part Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Jordanator Posted November 18, 2020 Share Posted November 18, 2020 So there was some YouTube clip of an unreleased Coldplay song (published under an account dedicated to Coldplay unreleased), which was about 30 seconds of a song and was titled ‘Unknown Song (Car Kids???)’ and from what I can recall sounded dark and heavy, kinda like X&Y meets Mylo Xyloto. I’d never heard it before. It’s not on YouTube anymore unfortunately it’s been taken down. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
