I ran away

Fully agree, excedpt for this one. The War of the Coldplay songs is actually very peaceful ? Viva La Vida vs Paradise

SAME FUCKING BLOOD vs STOP!

What if you should decide

Is there SOMETHING missing ?

Why July 20, where does that date come from ? Did I miss something ? Also I don't get why so much attention is on the moon phases. The moon phases on the website were there for the entirety of the AHFOD Era and their meaning was, guess what, just that. Moon phases. ? Sorry if I come across as skeptical...

Welcome back ! Ownership is still the same (Stephen), but the forum did a major upgrade that allows better social media integration and is now also for the first time ever entirely self-hosted I'm sad that the EL Era was so short as well. I was lucky enough to be one of the few to see the band live in London, and it was just an amazing concert. Love this album a lot, possibly even more than initially when it came out. By the way I think Champion of the World is a very Oldplayish song too. The structure, the guitar and the vocal lines make it sound like the child of AROBTTH and X&Y to me.

You mean the Pentatonix song ? If nothing has surfaced by now I doubt it...

yes correct ! Your turn !

oh no, now I have to think of something again ? how about.... The drummer always gets a lot of stick, if you'll excuse the turn of phrase.

Um actually I think it's Fleet Road 4A, right ? @dessertstealer Update: Just checked my pics from my London trip last November. Definitely 4A. But don't worry, mailpeople surely know where to put something addressed to Coldplay ?

Is it Will ?

You got it (kinda), it was Jeff their tour manager ! Your turn :)

Happy to report that half a year later I'm completely over that lack of interest in these songs and Everyday Life is a masterpiece to me that I still play comparatively often !

No...

hoooeis telephoned in by a region

Same ! Does anyone have a snippet of Gold ? I'm so curious right now!

EXACTLY because I fell for that sh*t I'm cautious this time ?

The Heart on Fire snippet is on YouTube. Not gonna share a link ? but it's easy to find. Never heard a snippet of Gold though.

I don't buy into any of this. It's ridiculously easy to come up with plausible track titles and lyrics on the spot. These accounts are all fake imho

I would wish for this true, but at this point I think it's only wishful thinking bordering on the delusional. Also we have no evidence for anything happening on July 10 (other than Parachutes' anniversary of course). Or that something comes in 4 months. That's just based on what the dubious Spheres account said... ? Personally I HOPE the Max Martin thing is something to do with Los Unidades. Don't want him for Coldplay.

Yes it showed both and also Guy confirmed today they played across two continents.

Relax. Have you never heard of bootlegs ? The band is aware they exist. They wouldn't encourage them but they also don't sue people for recording their concerts. It's been done for decades.

Agree with you on everything but this part. The Talk version on X&Y is actually one of the earlier ones recorded. The band have talked about how they recorded that song and didn't feel it was good enough so they made many different versions which they weren't happy with either and at some point they chose to go back to the early version. So it could well have been written in 2004.
