The studio version of Charlie Brown has been doing the rounds on various programs on Sky in the UK - if you are yet to hear it click here for the Sky One drama advert which features clips of the the song in the background. Below are some of your recent comments on the clip. [thanks coldplaykb]
And you know what else? That piano outro IS that new intro for Life Is For Living they've been doing live. Intro to a hidden track, or gapless into the next song? Or just a little outro like Cemeteries Of London? It's definitely the same. And I saw a post on here somewhere where they were saying that piano outro was just part of LIFL, not the outro to Charlie Brown...!! [thanks AmbroseCadwell]
Oh my. that is a lot better than i thought it would be. and i thought it would be fucking awesome! if they include the whole piano outro at the end i will be hurting like heaven! im just in awe. hard to describe in words what im hearing. [thanks poeincompany]
His [Chris] voice sounds like how it did during the Parachutes era when he says, "We'll be glowing in the dark." I love it. That's funny how we just always assumed that little piano melody was just an intro for Life is For Living until recently. I really can't wait now. IT HAS TO LEAK. These blokes have it, the sports people have it, GIVE IT TO US GUYS. [thanks Sleep]
That was stunning, amazing.... Whatever you wanna call it! I think all along the piano bit wasn't the intro to Life is for Living life but the outro to Charlie Brown, it was one of my highlights of the live shows so far that beautiful piano part so for it to be at the end of Charlie Brown....wow. I've never been so hyped up for an album before and still about 2 months left! [thanks 42rock89]
About the piano part at the end - it sounded like an improv opening to Life is for living, but it definitely adds a nice a little piano outro which is vintage Coldplay - Sounds good, wasn't too high on Charlie Brown being the next single, but I think based on this recording it may do well as the 3rd or 4th single from the album. Definitely AC crowd for sure will like this. I really like the enoxification of these songs which i'm assuming is the beginning part of the song with child like voices or ? whatever you want to call it. [thanks bdevil89]
Okay, that video has me convinced that there's a studio version of Charlie Brown out there somewhere--the 'all the boys, all the girls' part definitely sounds different from the live versions. Also, I'm loving the piano outro I bet it leads into another track. [thanks ColdplayingfromKansas]
Great to hear it and I think it sounds awesome, but I feel a bit disappointed that this is the way we hear it first. Why make it available to Sky at this stage? Who allowed this to happen...it's just a bit naff to hear a great song like this for the first time played on a meaningless advert. The band have plenty of time to make money from the album/tracks in the coming years, I just don't get how they could make such a booboo. [thanks nathey42]
There's absolutely no way Sky would have used a bootlegged version otherwise EMI would whack a whopping great lawsuit on them. Coldplay/EMI have obviously struck a deal with Sky for its use. [thanks Mimixxx]
