slightly off topic but has anyone realized how this same motif appears across these songs:

1. everyday story (EL demo) - melody that shows up during the last 30 seconds with the piano and sample from COTW

2. neon forest (longer leaked snippet) - melody on the xylophone during the last 40 seconds 

3. wedding bells (EL demo) - after the snippet from everyday life that also shows up here (the song), i.e. 10 seconds in, you hear that same melody play on the piano again!!

These are all actually the original Wedding Bells piano riff from 2010, just sped up

It’s fake

It sounds real. How do you know it is fake?

[lennyrott1]

It's definitely fake because clearly someone took at the existing leaked clips of songs and mashed them together into a supposed "Moon Music Preview." There's already confirmations that Jupiter changed to be more acoustic and the leaked jupiter snippets are likely no longer relevant. 

And since it seems fair game on this thread at this point to talk about the many leaks over the past 6 months or so, it appears that "Moon Song" was related to "The Only One" in the Notebook Edition prview. It feels concievable that the opening song is indeed an updated version of The Only One, which I'd have mixed feelings about because I like the song but also would prefer something more rock oriented to kick off the album. 

And yes, Earthling is definitely my favorite Colpdlay leak of all time. It's gorgeous and heartfelt and I guess it could be repurposed for "Angel Song" but I kind of have the feeling it's seperate. Fingers crossed it comes out one day.

I'm not sure A MOON SONG is actually a thing, I think it's just to indicate what album the song being worked on is for. 

Source: like 3 songs have been called A MOON SONG (iAAM, The Only One, and one other I forgot the name of rn)

I think Neon Forest (assuming that's its real name anyway) was known as Moon Song at one point, but I don't know for certain.

someone please dm me the IAAM leak

[Doomotron]

I've listened to the leak. The file is horribly compressed and a lot of the audio has been lost, so it isn't a good measure of how good the instrumental is. However from what I could make out the song is very good. I don't think it's the next Death and All His Friends, but it might be the next Champion of the World or Weirdo. That isn't a bad thing by any means.

[gustavothehuman]

I ended up finding a better quality version (still not the best) and IAAM is amazing. I was actually surprised to see a negative comment on Reddit and Twitter, it has so much of what makes Coldplay great.

Coldplay could do an album better than viva and reddit would still complain --'

[Famous Old Painter]

Definitely sounds like it connects to the previous track (which is 🌈). Maybe the short length will make more sense when it's played back to back, time will tell.  And does it flow into Aeterna or does the leak just cut off early? 

It sounds like someone put a filter over it intentionally to make it sound super lossy. Perhaps we'll hear it for real in a few days? 

Also if The Only One is Moon Music, I hope they've given it a big rearrangement like they did with Jupiter.

I'm assuming the mods nuked the discussion on Reddit pretty quickly (discussing leaks is against the rules there) because I'm not finding anything 

[GarbageOffice]

There are two versions on THAT site. Both sound compressed, so in case anyone managed to snatch a better quality version, could you send me a DM? Or upload it there? Thanks!

A lot of people who got to listen to iAAM early described it as "mostly instrumental". I wonder if it's because they heard 🌈 transition into it first. Listening to it now and I wouldn't necessarily call it that.

[johnnymax8652]

just listened to it on that site and it is effectively a very good song ! I want it as 3rd single 😍

can't wait for a better quality sound, it seems all the instruments are there

They also said that it was at least 4 minutes long, possibly longer. So maybe the ending section of 🌈 doubles as the intro to iAAM. It's an interesting thought. Who knows?

Told you it was going to be amazing. It's peak Coldplay, never better said 😉

Coldplay could put out the greatest album of all time and you'd still be reading on the subreddit that this band is finished. You know, just let it rain, let it rain, let it rain... 😉

I don't think we'll have to wait too much for an official release, the game will be playable for everyone in a few hours. It wouldn't make sense for the band to make us wait for the full quality track. I hope we're getting it.

I'm assuming the leak came from someone getting their hands on the game early.

This is correct. For now, only content creators have access to the game. So the 'leak' is courtesy of one of them.

I put 'leak' in quotes because I don't know how much of a leak it is. I guess it is, but the game was officially provided by EA. The song has also been heard in the background on other streams, it's not like they kept it a secret. They could have easily disabled it from the game until the release date. 🤷

[Mr.Green]

I've heard the leaked song and to be honest, not a fan of it.

Maybe it grows, but the lyrics are too repetitive in my opinion.

[nicklawmusic]

Nice song! The leak quality is a bit guff but as is some of the other leaks.

Also, I just saw something about The Only One being part of 🌈. Is that true?

[Famous Old Painter]

Not a part of 🌈 no. Possibly a part of Moon Music (song)

[Yes?]

Sounds fantastic. The audio quality isn't doing justice to the sound either - especially when you compare it to the official snippet.
