tallerolder Posted March 26, 2022 Share Posted March 26, 2022 Damn ... I need this song as a recorded studio version sooooooooo bad! The mood of it is like among the best things I've ever heard from Coldplay! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TealAppeal Posted March 26, 2022 Share Posted March 26, 2022 I only heard it once from some phone footage but I wouldn't mind at all if they released it online in better clarity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I ran away Posted March 27, 2022 Share Posted March 27, 2022 It's definitely a great and very atmospheric songs. Judging by what the band do with great songs, it's either 1. not release them 2. release them but never play them live 3. release them, play them live n<10 times and then drop them off the setlist though. 🤡 2 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doomotron Posted April 1, 2022 Share Posted April 1, 2022 A wave is one of those weird and rare songs where I can't put my finger on the feeling it gives me. Very few songs do this to me, one of which is End Credits by Coldplay, which was used in a similar way to A Wave (and was release don the live album like I hope A Wave to be). I think the feeling is somewhere between sadness, nostalgia and calmness. It's like Coldplay got the slow groove of New York I Love You But You're Bringing Me Down by LCD Soundsystem, put the ambient flair of End Credits in and added a dash of mesmerising lyrics on top. They're simple lyrics, but in this song I see them more as an instrument than actual lyrics. And, of course, it's a Coldplay song so the lyrics don't really mean anything anyway. A beautiful song, but I think I don't want it to have a studio release. I don't feel End Credits could have worked as a studio release (even though you can make one yourself by reversing A Head Full Of Dreams :D) and I don't feel like A Wave would either.

TealAppeal Posted April 6, 2022 Share Posted April 6, 2022 (edited) This YouTuber talks about "A Wave" song and provides a bit of bonus information that was in the Box Set for Music of the Spheres. I didn't own the box set so this was a surprise to me. What do ya'll think AUROW1 means? Edited April 6, 2022 by TealAppeal Spelling 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

W1 could be World 1 - perhaps Aurora will be the first planet of MOTS2? Alternatively, what if W stands for Wave? I don't know. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doomotron Posted May 14, 2022 Share Posted May 14, 2022 (edited) I've just been watching the AHFOD documentary and somewhere near the 15 minute mark there's an ambient piece that sounds strikingly like A Wave. I haven't got to the credits yet so it might be something else, but it might be worth looking into it. There are other tracks, including one that seems to be based on Midnight. It would be really nice to have these released some day. Edited May 14, 2022 by Doomotron Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TealAppeal Posted May 15, 2022 Share Posted May 15, 2022 I recorded The Race at the May 12th concert in AZ. I'll post it later, not really happy about the footage so I'd like to edit it and show folks a still photo of the band while it plays. Hope it's a crisper version of it but we will see.

TealAppeal Posted May 15, 2022 Share Posted May 15, 2022 Welp, apparently YouTube wont let me download my own video onto my PC unless I have an upgraded version. Well here it is anyway, I don't like how I captured the footage but I think the audio isn't too bad. Enjoy https://youtu.be/cOcR2tBilGM 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nowayme Posted August 2, 2022 Share Posted August 2, 2022 (edited) MY GOD is that a great interlude! I hope it gets released in some way! It gives me Always In My Head/O/O (Prelude) mixed with The Escapist vibes especially the way it's structured. Possibly an unused interlude that the album would close? Aurora? Did they keep it to use it on alive album or their next project no idea, but it's way too good! Edited August 2, 2022 by nowayme Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Divutian Posted August 2, 2022 Share Posted August 2, 2022 they will most likely only include it on the live album, similar to end credits on AHFOD, it really wouldnt work as a studio release i think. they might have a high quality version for the credits of the live film tho Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nowayme Posted August 2, 2022 Share Posted August 2, 2022 Lyrically and stylistically is essentially a new "The Escapist" for MOTS, like it would be a hidden track or something. I guess Coloratura was included in the album in the last moment, or it was planned to have A Wave as a hidden track after, listen to the transitions before and on the end of the track and it makes full sense.

nowayme Posted August 15, 2022 Share Posted August 15, 2022 I trained an AI for like a week using python to remove audience/crowd noise feeding it samples raw crowd noise from the France broadcast. I hope this is atleast satisfactory to some of you: A Wave (AI Isolated) https://mega.nz/file/ZbIU0J6D#OgtXzCeTvAPErVh-kjujwcCrlwDc_xgvWPvJ0bAKXd4 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doomotron Posted August 15, 2022 Share Posted August 15, 2022 Wow! That's really good. It's not perfect but it's clearer than it's ever been. If a studio version releases* it'll be interesting to see how different the recordings are, bar the slight audience noise. That said, near the end there is a weird noise, like a car horn or something - is that part of the actual song? *Of course, since A Wave is not performed live it already is a studio version, just one that is not yet publicly available.

nowayme Posted August 15, 2022 Share Posted August 15, 2022 It's somekind of leak of somebody testing a guitar chord progression that is not able to be heard at all on the live recording but the AI is able to pick it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess you made quite the AI then! Do you plan on using it elsewhere? This could be an amazing tool not just for live recordings; it could be used to remaster tracks for example. Even more exciting is that it could make A View From The Top audible, and perhaps boost Chris' lyrics in Lukas. Seriously, this AI needs releasing.
