GarbageOffice Posted July 22, 2021 Share Posted July 22, 2021 (edited) I don't even know what to say... I waited until 1AM my time for the premiere and listened to the song twice. I'm at my family's weekend house and this is my view right now (long exposure shot). I sat in a chair and just listened for 20 minutes while staring at the sky. I can't describe what an amazing experience this was. Last time I had a similar moment back when Everyday Life had its premiere live in Jordan at 5AM my time. What a ride. What a song. Thanks Coldplay. Edited July 22, 2021 by GarbageOffice 5 12 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jdckcom Posted July 22, 2021 Share Posted July 22, 2021 Wow. Amazing song. Not at all what I was expecting. Heavy TDSOTM vibes thoughout as I'm sure someone else mentioned. That gorgeous guitar riff is also reminiscent of MTM. Glad to hear some remnants of the MX era in 2021. All in all another triumph by our boys. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eskapist Posted July 23, 2021 Share Posted July 23, 2021 Third time I listen to it and tears keep coming... I remember now why they're my absolute favourite band : they make me feel the power of music, more than anyone. Just magic. 3 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eddmen Posted July 23, 2021 Share Posted July 23, 2021 Coloratura simply beautiful. No more to say. The song has a perfect progression among the 10+ minutes. The strings are beautiful and I'm glad we had that Jonny solo. I mentioned this in the MOTS thread, but I'm so in love with this song that I need to say it again hahaha: is the perfect closure of an album and it will fit perfectly as a concert closer! This was a huge gift for us the Coldplayers! 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WeddingDom Posted July 23, 2021 Share Posted July 23, 2021 Jonny's solo reminded me of Moving to Mars. One of their best songs in years, just wow! 3 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IslandToDiscover Posted July 23, 2021 Share Posted July 23, 2021 Absolutely incredible all around. Amazing vibes. Incredible production. Atmospheric effects were amazing. Reminded me a bit of Prospekt’s March. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remember that chat between the band that features in the AHFOD documentary? Chris wanted to talk about Leonardo seeing patterns in the stars at night, but Will mentioned if isn't that Galileo... So Will wins lol... (Also Will kind of agreed to include Leonardo as long is not DiCaprio lol) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jcfromparis Posted July 23, 2021 Share Posted July 23, 2021 Listening to it 5 times in a row. Can't stop crying. I don't know, for me, some songs from Coldplay are uplifting and depressing at the same time. (like Everyday life) Maybe I need to go back to see my shrink... ? It's a masterpiece. I don't see it live in a stadium though... I might be wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

42Escapist Posted July 23, 2021 Share Posted July 23, 2021 Wow... just, wow. This is the Coldplay I fell in love with. 10 minutes of ethereal beauty. It's like what would happen if David Bowie's Life on Mars and Space Oddity are combined with Coldplay's Moving to Mars, Death And All His Friends, What If, Hypnotised, and Square One. Coloratura is a space rock ballad of the highest quality, one that touches the heart and takes you on a ride across deep space. Best album closer they've ever done. Maybe even one of the greatest Coldplay songs, period. I didn't expect anything like it on MOTS, even after Everyday Life was filled with some great experimentation. But wow... this is the kind of song I've always wanted from them. Well done. 8 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
