Oh wow. Chris played a snippet of a new song during a conference thing on Clubhouse. In the full interview, he asks for it to not be recorded and that it will be out sometime potentially. We should all just disregard the first part... LYRICS: "We had a kind of love- I thought would never end Oh my lover, oh my lover, oh my friend Talked around in circles and talked around again I loved you to the moon and back again" (lyrics from cp discord server) ChrisMartin_New_Track_CH.mp3

Am I alone in thinking that this is one of Chris' best lyrics of all time? I think it's a cracking line!

At this point I'm very jealous of Taylor Swift fans who have had two new albums come out during lockdown along with a reworked album being released next month... so far we've had Flags to keep us going😢

I want Jon Hopkins to contribute again. Midnight and The Escapist are amazing, as are the ambient remixes of MX songs that he contributed to Live 2012. Except this time, I want his contributions to be completely new. The Escapist and Midnight came from snippets of old Jon Hopkins compositions and the band just added to them.

Oh please no Dua Lipa on a Coldplay album. One of the most talentless and shallow pop sensations to emerge in my humble opinion (next to Ariana Grande). II'm not too keen about collabs in general, but Rihanna and Beyoncé were in a different league. I wouldn't mind someone like Brittany Howard either. I agree with what was said above about the collabs on EL being collabs done just right. If they have to do collabs, more of that type please and less of the ones with a current pop hype. (also sorry to all Dua fans, it's great that you see something in her and love her but I simply don't and

just my opinion but I don't think Dua Lipa or any other big collaborators will join them for MOTS - and I think it's for the better. Sometimes the collaborators can hinder a song's greatness or change the song entirely. What I'd love though is the type of collaborations on Viva or Everyday Life, where an expert in the field or a much less famous person contributes something meaningful to the band. Everyday Life had Jacob Collier contributing his signature layered vocals and production on Church, Cry Cry Cry, and Everyday Life, Norah Shaqur's beautiful and haunting voice on Church and Bani Adam

So I have a theory. Coldplay’s trademark for “MOTS” is in the “Application Published” phase and has been since February 4th , 2021. It normally takes 2 months for it to be registered. If so that would happen April 4th , 2021. After that it takes 2 more weeks for it to be certified. If everything goes smoothly then they should own “MOTS” by April 19th! Which would be perfect timing because of their planned upcoming livestream concert on May 22nd. Maybe just maybe they might reveal something about LP9...

For sure they sound bland and dull for now but it's only one small portion of the song. I totally share your concern as lyrics can really bring down Coldplay songs sometimes. My only defense is that Will's door has allowed lyrics in the past decade like: "spiderman's control, and batman with his fists" and "how come cars don't slow" and "all i know, is that i love you so, so much that it hurts" and "could have been a princess, you'd be a king, could have had a castle, worn a ring but NOO Oo O O O oo "

Don't trust genius. Anyone can edit it. I don't think it will be released in September if they release a single in May. They mostly release their albums about 2 months after first single release

And for the colabs discussion. I think that no matters who’s gonna be collaborating or not as long as the music is good.

I've seen this Dua Lipa debate heat up and I wanted to put in my 'two cents'. Look at this photo. It's a design concept ordered by FirstGroup for the Great Western franchise. The photo is of the prototype Standard class seat design. It's a combination of blue, violet, teal and brown of all colours. Thank god First Great Western never used it... This image perfectly sums up collaborations in music. Multiple distinct styles (or colours in this anecdote) come together to make something awful. Very few collaborations actually work, like Under Pressure, as most end up being the 'bar

A collaboration I would love though is Brian Eno. Literally brought out the best in them during Viva and (somewhat) during MX and his fingerprints are all over some of their best songs outside the era (White Shadows, Aliens, Arabesque). Given his experience with ambience especially with works like An Ending (Ascent) I think he'd do wonders with MOTS. It's also worth noting that many of the clues and little snippets revolving around space and even the phrase "Music of the Spheres" from Matt McGinn's book point to an era sometime around 2009-2011, where they scrapped many album ideas and e

It's going to be a collab between Chris Martin and Brittany Howard.

Yes Coldplay. LIFE IN TECHNICOLOR II, PLEASE!

I think Dua Lipa is god awful, along with almost all of today’s top 40 acts. I sincerely hope she will be nowhere near a Coldplay record. It was bad enough Rihanna was involved in POC and the Chainsmokers collaboration 🤮

I can’t believe this film came out and no one ever said here how it’s a goldmine (also in itself) of Phil footage

God it sounds so haunting... I'd love a song starting like that, imagine listening to that intro and then the song kicks int, talking about an astronaut lost in space. :P

Anybody know the song being played at the very beginning of the clip? Sounds kind of like a bit of Poppyfields but as far as I know it sounds different from anything they've ever made. I think it sounds pretty nice!

Amen to that. With all the talk of Coldplay and colabs my mind rushed to this song. Dunno how many of you know it but I thought I'd share it just in case. I interpret it as a non-Pop song however that's just me. One of my favorite colab with Chris. "Gold in them Hills" https://youtu.be/85Kf9-hJ3yg

doesn't matter if I'm new to this site because I've been a Coldplay fan since 2009. You're right, we'll just wait and see what happens, but to say he WILL return and that they ARE collaborating is nothing short of fantasy until we get substantial evidence.

If I may try to break through the tension here -- I'd like both of those things 🙂 I love Dua Lipa and think she's a real star. Future Nostalgia was a terrific album that bleneded modern pop sounds, perfect pop hooks/singalong choruses, and fun throwback intsrumentation. I also think the albums Ken Nelson worked on had THE BEST sounding recordings in Coldplay's entire career. The instrumentation feels like it's right in your face, the guitars are punchy, and the atmosphere feels alive. Ken Nelson probably is not coming back but a Dua collab is possible. They did tour together way bac

look just cause it's your opinion doesn't mean it should and will happen, okay? Tons of fans want Coldplay to return to their roots, work with Ken Nelson, or bring back Brian Eno but that doesn't necessarily mean it WILL happen just because its our opinion that it will.

I'm sorry but I just don't see it happening? Just because Future Nostalgia had a "space theme" and MOTS has a space "theme" doesn't mean that she's going to collaborate outright. If you ask me I'd put my money on the album having a Brian Eno influence based on all the evidence and clues I've seen.

Knowing them, they are honestly probably relieved they don't have to fly everywhere and accompany Chris to every little appearance (not saying the Grammys are a little appearance, but rather talking about all these small solo performances Chris does here and there). They quite like being out of the public eye and having privacy and time for their families. I can assure you when Chris performs alone he has the full support and approval of the band, don't worry about it 🙂

Some of us might have noticed and some maybe not but we've gone a little bit off-topic since few days now! I created a thread specially for the 63rd Grammy Awards, couple of days ago. So if you'd like to discuss or talk about anything related to the Grammys you can do it there before and after the show: [14th MARCH] Chris Martin to perform at the 63rd Grammy Awards Show It might be a bit easier to follow for people on the forums and different topics won't get mixed up.

^This. Taylor has been crushing it. I always liked her early albums and 1989 a lot but this past year she really became the most essential pop star. Both Folklore and Evermore are very, very good albums. Excited about the Jacob Collier news! It'd be cool if he featured... but I bet like with EL could be helping do mixing and production if the album is getting wrapped up. He also played the role of helping create "Angelina" from Cry Cry Cry, which Chris alluded to wanting to use again. I'm open to that... but also Cry Cry Cry is probably the first song I'd remove from EL since it tonally

Yeah I’m very excited to see 😁

I think Jacob collier it’s gonna help out with the space thing ( remember that moon he did, sounded very much like a space sound )

Man I forgot how intensely anti-mainstream pop this forum can be haha I'm an oldplayer and just wanna make it clear: I love Dua, Lil Nas X, Cardi B, Billie Eilish, Beyonce, Rihanna, Ariana Grande. I think we're living in a moment where pop stars feel truly talented and interested in pushing bounderies again, and I listen to pop music quite regularly along with alternative music (metal, punk, hip-hop, indie). I say this not as a prescription for you all, but just as an unashamed proclamation that some folks can like Coldplay and other brands of music, and that's okay. But that said,

I’m thinking about 2 - 4 new songs if I’m completely honest, this is all sounding like pre-speculation of the 2011 gigs where we all wondered if new songs were going to be played and they played like 5 or 6 new ones 😂

I think they definitely will! They are charging to watch this... I’m excited!

£20 to watch a livestream? guess i'm heading to the downloads section afterwards lol

Phill said for mistake on Twitter that the boys are going to be playing new stuff

Wow Glasto is some serious shit. Regardless of its format. Fingers crossed and hype train yet again

Coldplay will perform #LiveAtWorthyFarm on Saturday 22nd May 2021 https://t.co/YXfYcP4bWa Will they play a new song? 🤔

Don’t forget that he played it on the piano because it was the fastest way but the final version May not have piano or could be played on guitar or just big synths. (My guess)

So hard to glean anything from this snippet, but agree that it has instant Mylo vibes. The melody feels pretty simple and lullabyish, but like it could be building to something more catchy and epic. Who knows if it's even a piano song! I'm sticking with my guess that they're returning to a pop alt-rock style similar to Mylo but this time instead of the Brian-eno xylobryte/ambient wall of sound, they'll do more new-wave style. New wave has made a huge comeback recently with Dua Lipa, Miley Cyrus, the Weeknd and now Justin Bieber to some extent. So I'm guessing there'll be some singles wit

The lyrics read very “Music of the Spheres” to me... 🧐 They kind of remind me of Mylo Xyloto (as an album)... maybe it’s the sequel we never got! Let the theories begin! 😆

The calm before the storm...^^

I have no idea, it unfortunately happens sometimes to innocent posts like yours. These days we have a lot of spam thrown at us though - most of it you'll never see because the filter catches most of the spam posts and hides them until approval, but sometimes it seems to also catch the wrong posts. Anyway, I approved your post. About Will's backing vocals sounding the same - they are in all likelihood prerecorded. Doesn't mean Will can't sing, but in the masterclass he once gave he explained that as a drummer it sounds better if he pre-records because otherwise the loud drum sounds interfe

I'm convinced that Car Kids and Charlie Brown are 2 different songs. As @MarckozZ and @42Escapist mentioned earlier, the notes from the Chris' notebook prove it! Some of Car Kids' lyrics (maybe?) could (still) be: ''I don't need the feed'' ''Show(?) to make it twisted lettering'' ''No power to the tower'' Chris also wrote down the unofficial setlist for MX including some of the songs we now know as the b-sides, such as MTM (Moving To Mars). So back then, Car Kids was a candidate for the album and was listed as the 5th track (of 14) on MX right after Charlie

I love ASFOS, SJLT, Fun, Fun is very underrated 😔

I should probably mention Will since he’s the only member I haven’t talked about and recently Im starting to appreciate him more. He’s starting to grow on me and I’m starting to fall for him I think lol One of the things I like about him is how strong he is. I feel as if he went through a lot. I like how eloquent he is. He’s a good speaker. He seems very intelligent. He’s obviously very talented. Chris said he’s like the base of the statue of the band , and I can’t think of a better way to describe him and I love that quality about him(that I can’t quite put into words as well as Chri

We could be in for a new song but maybe we will also see new designs of the era!

They are charging for live steam tickets.... one would assume Coldplay is going to showcase new material...

Especially when it comes out next month in April as a single that Chris said, maybe It have a full version of the untitled song that he sing with Dua Lipa hopefully

There's an indie artist I love named Tyler Shaw, whose solo project is known as Aviators. He has made some incredible music, especially over the last five or so years. He's known for music inspired by video games, TV shows, cartoons, and movies, but he has also written multiple albums that, together, tell the story of people fighting for freedom in a dystopian society. Kind of like Mylo Xyloto, but darker. This is my personal favorite Aviators song, Wolves.

As much as I wanted Chris to play a song that didn’t really need the band that much (as I mentioned before in another post, Guns, Old Friends, When I Need a Friend, Èkó...), I really think he’s going to play Everyday Life, but not alone. I believe he will be accompanied by an orchestra band, at least a string session, as it happened in the early promotional concerts of the album.
