I think the reason I like the ghost stories one is because it's the original form of it, you know like a sad breakup song, the new ones feel too pop but they're still really good

The original form of THE RACE is from 2012, but it's very raw. After MX, you know CHRIS had some bad time with his own personal life.

Oh wow so there is a recording of The Race from 2012?

Would you consider that MX era or GS era? And could you describe to us a little bit about it?

I wouldn't say there is one mix from 2012 but the original idea of the song came from 2012.

Ah ok I see, so they basically wrote it in 2012 and then recorded it in 2013/2014

The good old 2017 doc mix forever echoes in my head since the very first listening back in 2017. Such a mystery, such a nice song. 2013 mix is very intimate, 2014 mix is mid imo, 2017 as the best.

Oh god, I got a lot of tracks but I don´t know which one comes from which year...

Which one is the original take?

The piano one that got leaked recently or the first one that got leaked that has that my heart is beating cringe bridge ?

Chris wrote most of the songs and take them to the rest of the band. I think Chris had done most part of one song, other guys just help on other instrumental arrangements. Yeah you could say that.

I really do thank you for telling us this information, it's good to know, is there anything else you can say about the GS era? I heard a song called Stranger that is apparently from 2013

Sad to tell you that Stranger was one of my AI Chris attempts on trolling the scammers who once trolled my friend. I sent Stranger out just for trolling those people. Stranger was written by me.

Oh well you did a good job on it, fooled me haha

Also do you know what O Part 2 is? Sorry if I'm asking too many questions

2 minutes ago, Admirice said:

I think every thing regarding to O is released. O pt2 should be the Reprise or idk.

Ohh ok I guess that makes sense and I sort of guessed it, I just have a few more questions and then I'll leave you alone lmao, hopefully this little interview puts those guys off your back a bit, these are all about GS

1 How different is the GS version of Tomorrow?

2 Is World Without You something we've already heard or is it completely new?

3 Is Ghost Stories just Ghost Story under a different title?

4 I've rarely heard a song called Mist mentioned, do you know anything about it?

So sorry for asking so much, I'm just a big fan of Coldplay and want to know everything, but this is it for now haha

I'm not gonna comment on this one sorry lol.

Ah ok no worries then, I appreciate everything you've told us so far though!

all I (and the band too I imagine) want to know is who originally stole aka sold all these files. Someone needs to snitch honestly. Because yeah at this point Dave Holmes is my #1 suspect

Of course we are just being conspiracy theorists here but Dave Holmes being the leaker would not surprise me at all actually. You don't end a 20 years old relationship over touring expenses. Coldplay are loyal and tight knit. Even the media was shocked with the lawsuit.

I mean if Dave really wants to get back at his old employers, I know a certain website I could direct him to

Even though he was the one in the wrong look it up

He's already leaked some stuff

Edited April 15, 20242 yr by GarbageOffice

the band rejected Holmes’ claim and are seeking £14m in damages as they say their former manager allowed tour costs to snowball, while also alleging that he used his relationship with the group to secure loans totalling $30m (£24.6m) from concert promoters Live Nation.

realistically the Dave Holmes stuff is 100% money & business related shit, but it would be quite funny if he sold a bunch of demos and unreleased songs to get some extra cash out of Coldplay while he still could. ........which would also make this leaks mess 100% money related, thinking about it  hmmmmMMMMMM

Can someone tell me more about the song Mantra? I've heard it's an instrumental one but from what era?

Did it leak in full?

Azealia Banks confirmed that part on her Instagram (she used to date him) and Live Nation's statement very clearly sides with Coldplay, I bet this is going to end in an out-of-court agreement.

It's kind of hilarious how Azealia Banks likes Coldplay, they truly have all the rappers in a chokehold.

Not saying you're wrong at all, but man Azealia Banks is like, the least reliable witness in the universe 

Which version of The Race is the "The Race (Rough Snippet)" one?

My two guessed are Good Feelings or Jupiter as they're banger-ready imo.

Still a chance for first single in two weeks or maybe in 4 weeks? Before the BBC Show/June Tour?

A lot of people asked me what FLIFIL stands for.

FLIFIL stands for Feels Like I'm Falling In Love. If the memory serves me right.

Allegedly a song for MM.

There are 10-20 songs written for the album but I doubt that they will release all of them in the Album. Perhaps some of them would later become B-sides or songs for a potential EP.

Or they could be saved for The Musical Album

Having some of those files (months/years prior to the leaks) straight from the core source I can tell you that this is not the case. It's no person from their cycle leaking stuff.

I think the lead will come out in the Friday before Big Weekend, there is no reason to release anything in April or early May. Besides, festivals are nothing but radio/television-level marketing tools for Coldplay at this point, public-wise they have demand for 20 Wembley Stadium shows.

Or at least a teaser would be nice.
