Best unreleased song?

Bloodless Revolution.

It has unfortunately never passed the stage of a demo, but I can say that the bit of melody and lyrics are stunning enough to be the base of a great hit. I wonder how it would sound as a complete Viva-ish track with a bassline, drums, Jonny's riff and some other random instruments.

Love the Viva demos!

Ladder to the sun, it was mentioned before but I really like that one too. 

Idiot (the time-frame was during Coldplay's 2nd album)

Life Is Beautiful (during the Head Full of Dreams era)

To be honest I don't know too many of the unreleased songs. Before I did some digging the only one I knew beforehand  was, Ladder to the Sun. Think I saw that on forums probably here some years ago. I did hear Life Is Beautiful before but I didn't realize it wasn't in an CD or official somewhere.

I agree with Life Is Beautiful, it's epic! Jonny's guitar riffs lift that song to a completely higher level. They should release a studio version of it one day. It'll sound beautiful and epic for sure.

Not sure why many fans don't like it, maybe it's because Chris wasn't always at his best while performing this song live. But the song itself is upbeat, quite catchy and uplifting.

What do you mean by this? Where/when did they mention not releasing 5 songs?

Can't remember exactly when and where, Chris said that they have tried to write 5 songs for Bond, but they were not good enough. It was in a recent interview however, of this month or of September. Actually I think it was just joking when he said that, but I may be wrong... I'm sorry but I can't recall the details of this?

Now that Coldplay took 2 older songs and inserted some nods of it into the Music Of The Spheres album. 

I was curious if folks had any more unreleased songs they'd like to them to sample or add to future releases.

I like the song track name,

"The Butterfly".

It was thought up in 2005.

I'm unsure if they have any samples of what it sounded musically etc. I'm terrible with the lesser known Coldplay information.

There are so many unreleased gems that would make far better songs than some of the actual stuff the band has released, but to name a few that stand out:

 

A View From the Top

Sweet Marianne

Harmless

A Ghost

Solid Ground (Until the Water Flows Over)

Bucket For A Crown

Lukas

I love the unreleased songs from the "Eno Era". In particular "Wedding Bells", "Spanish Rain" / "Don Quixote", the original "Aliens" and "Famous Old Painters".

Someone even mentioned a possible collaboration with the Pierces, but I can't find an interview where they mention it. That would be really nice to hear...
