nicklawmusic Posted September 10 Share Posted September 10 I wonder what FRNDZ is? Β Also, sad to see that Earthling didnβt make the cut on Moon Music. Β Love that song. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Famous Old Painter Posted September 11 Share Posted September 11 So the song Moon Music was originally separated into three parts. Earthling is written as Earthling pt. 1, implying there are other Earthlings we don't know about? Then there's FRNDZ, whatever that is.Β 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At first I thought it was an acronym for "FernΓ‘ndez" or a reference to "Franz Ferdinand". 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Famous Old Painter Posted September 11 Share Posted September 11 All My Friends are Aliens is in the booklet too. Maybe FRNDZ is a fleshed out version of that? Or something completely seperate?

Famous Old Painter Posted September 11 Share Posted September 11 It's just frustrating, because I know Chris is still capable of writing lyrics that are deeper and more meaningful than this. They came up with a ton of ideas for Moon Music yet this is the wordplay they choose to release to the public. UghΒ 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnnymax8652 Posted September 11 Share Posted September 11 on genius there are also lyrics for iAAM, are they legit? they also repeat "I get these feelings" many times... it's a mix up maybe ? it feels like kind of repetitive to me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Famous Old Painter Posted September 11 Share Posted September 11 So we have lyrics for every song now except Moon Music and π, correct? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Jordanator Posted September 11 Share Posted September 11 Correct.Β Also bear in mind those might be early lyrics not final lyrics since theyβre from the notebook.Β I donβt see a problem with them either they express the message of the song well enough and are better than flifil lyrics on any given day.Β 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Galal Posted September 13 Share Posted September 13 (edited) In my humbled opinion they shouldn't have released FLIFIL as a single Good Feelings was a better choice for a single. FLIFIL has has a good tune thatΒ people would have appreciated more if they only listened to it when the album is released instead of making it the first new song they hear from the band since Coloratura.

FLIFIL has has a good tune thatΒ people would have appreciated more if they only listened to it when the album is released instead of making it the first new song they hear from the band since Coloratura. I think there seem to be certain criterias for the lead singles of the albums. When looking back, if I'm not wrong, first singles are without featuring artists and more universally representative of the album, that's what FLIFIL was. So, then a lot of points would have still supported Good Feelings to be at least the second single, because that's when they usually bring out featuring artists. But I guess the points against it were: not that unique really - kind of similar to AOAL and My Universe, so that's where they went for We Pray instead. I might be wrong, that's just my interpretation of their decisions, but indeed Good Feelings deserved to be a great summer hit.

lennyrott1 Posted September 13 Share Posted September 13 (edited) In this day in age, you never know what's going to land and become a big Top 40 hit. Shaboozy has been dominating and Sabrina Carpenter, Post Malone and Chappell Roan are having immense years delving into a bunch of different genres. On top of that you have Tik Tok trends organically sprouting up bringing back older music often with a huge nostalgiac appetite -- like Sparks and Yellow show up a lot.Β I was hoping We Pray would have more of an impact on the charts given in some ways, it's the most "Viva La Vida" sounding song from the band with the strings and big drums. I appreciate the band promting a different style of music for a single and featuring great artists from across the world, it certainly did better than FLIFIL and I think it's been doing pretty well in the UK? At the end of the day, I think it's a catchy and good song but I can see why, espescially compared to other excellently produced pop music, it didn't grab people's attention. To some degree we have to contend with the fact that these are men in their mid 40's and that won't always have appeal to pop audiences.Β I'm maintaining my prediction that Good Feelings will chart Top 40 for a few weeks at least though. It's a groovy song.Β Edited September 13 by lennyrott1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Jordanator Posted September 13 Share Posted September 13 FLIFIL was a smart choice as first single. It gives a good first taste of this album which otherwise would probably have gone under the radar and overlooked if released with the rest of the album. Itβs definitely not their strongest lead single, but itβs a grower and fun to singalong (and clap clap) to. And it sounds absolutely timeless for Coldplay. WE PRAY also made sense as they had already debuted this at Glastonbury which had a positive response and gives a different colour of music to the lead single. Unfortunately it hasnβt charted that well outside the UK.Β GOOD FEELiNGS will be a sure fire hit with a great collab so itβs a good thing they have this to fall back on as Iβm sure it will do well commercially and gives one of the albums best flavours.Β And then we have ALL MY LOVE. If they promote this well, I can also see this performing well commercially as itβs sort of reminiscent of Ed Sheeran (think How Would You Feel if it was a piano version) and as we saw works extremely well as a wedding song.Β And it sounds like the rest of Moon Music will have some real gems so very much looking forward to the next 20 days.Β 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
