5 different versions of the song, including the Glastonbury Live.

That's weird.
No cd or 12 " for feelslike...

No Good Feelings release for the summer.

I suspect the We Pray release has been pushed with the UK riots / the war in the Middle East...

The artwork is... minimal.

It's almost a white label.

The cover for We Pray is definitely in the 'we didn't even try' category. I have a PowerPoint presentation with dozens of more interesting cover artworks that I've made myself.

I am shocked though that Feels Like I'm Falling In Love didn't get a physical release. The artwork is nice, which would be a bonus. It seems like they are brushing it under the carpet a bit.

If We Pray was a completely different style of song I'd probably buy the single, but since I don't plan to listen to the song again I have no interest in getting it. Hopefully the release is good though. The MOTS singles were a bit lazy.

This is interesting to me because I loved the Glastonbury version but felt that the final song may end up being too short or too overproduced. I was thinking about writing a message the other day saying "I hope we get a longer or even more distorted version of We Pray" So now that we're getting different flavors, I'm really excited to hear them. 

But I always say this -- it could lead to a bit of disappointment if the (?) version is like way better and cooler and it's not the actual one on the record. 

Why isn't the cover for the We Pray single following the MM theme? How odd.

Do you have a actual analytical reason you don't like We Pray?

Because it's a darker song with a deeper meaning I think

Could always do a darker version of the current theme I think. It just annoys me that it's not uniform! 😄

If you provided me a list of the top ten rap albums of all time, agreed upon by 1000 people and based on some empirical method of measuring song quality, I still wouldn't like any of them because I don't like rap. I don't know what genre of music We Pray is, but god do I hate it. It could grow on me over time, but at the moment it is perhaps the least Coldplay-like song they've ever made, probably as far or further away from the core Coldplay style as Los Unidades.

That said, I did think Timbuktu and Voodoo were alright songs, but I probably wouldn't say that if they were Coldplay singles destined for a future album.

That said I still have relatively high hopes for Moon Music. I doubt it'll unseat Mylo Xyloto as my first choice Coldplay album, but it's in a better place than Music of the Spheres. That album had two songs I loved, two songs that I liked, and the rest were okay were a bit mid. I'd rather have an album of nine songs I like and one I hate rather than one where I can't form an opinion on the majority of the tracklist. 😀

If they want to go with space-ey covers, they could have gone for something like a nebula on a black background. Darker, but it would still fit in with the Moon Music look. It would be a bit like the dark variants of the Higher Power cover.

That said, I do like how the cover looks, but it would have worked better as a non-album single. The last time Coldplay released a single with a cover that had nothing in common with the album it was from was Let Somebody Go, and I'm not aware of any instances of it before that. We Pray's cover is certainly simple but it has grown on me a bit since I first saw it. I think the vinyl version would look look quite good along with the other records I have.

finished editing a video for WE PRAY, but too bad i cant post it because Universal is a bunch of greedy spineless bastards

No b-sides for this era then 😞

Using m4racide's flifil acapellas I was able to create two alternate versions on with nno lalalas in the pre-chorus and one that removes all the lalalas in the song entirely. The top one is no pre-chorus and the bottom one is none at all. 

 

 

 

This feels like a protest song, a la Give Peace A Chance.

It's probably why there is a black cover and nothing else... and a proper release.

But I'm still confused with their releases : lots of remixes from MOTS are not available on cd and 12 inches.

I think the la la las work at the end but good work

I think if the guitar was a little louder in the places of the las it would fantastic

I would have loved to have the acoustic versions of Higher Power and My Universe on CD.

Een beetje zoals dit, dit heeft trouwens geen lala's en ik heb de gitaar een beetje harder gezet in de lala's-ruimte 

 

 

Dit zijn leuke versies. Dank je wel.

I liked the instrumentals from this already

Its the lyrics and specially the lalala's that irritated me.

But listening only to the instrumentals sounds fantastic.

I like the lalalas at the end but I know others hate it so thats why I made it and the version that just had them removed in the pre-chorus. Also that Benjamin Davis mix was excellent!!!

I may of gone overboard but I couldn't stop thinking of extra stuff the band could have done instrumentally lol
