Call it true, call it true love

Turn your magic on

Oh thanks god, must have heard when I prayed

The other words were too generic xD

Upon which I stand

Stand here beside me baby, in the crumbling walls

And though you might be gone

And I know I was wrong

What can't I get through?

Oh I want something just like this

Who the captain of some sinking ship

All the time she was silent still

Nobody said it was easy

Where you can be what you are is there a prize for getting 2?! ?

But you never even see me

I really don’t like the use of snippets or samples in songs, especially speech like in the band’s recent albums or stuff that repeats constantly. It gets boring after several listens and I prefer just the music on its own, it would be so much better!

Makes me think of what the song could have been without Stargate’s production ruining it. That repeating vocal snippet from the intro onwards makes it almost unlistenable for me, this is so much better imo.

Chris still has a Yamaha GT-20 piano, which made an appearance in Gwyneth’s latest IG post! A big throwback to the AROBTTH/X&Y era? Also, HAPPY BIRTHDAY MOSES!!!???

If you look at Guy’s Instagram post of the Viva sessions a few days ago, Chris is sitting at the same Triton keyboard. I’m pretty sure they used that as the sample sounds very similar to Fix You.

Guy also posted on IG yesterday that he was travelling back from Amsterdam after finishing some work on his new clothing/design company, so something must be happening in the studio!!

Soooo...the Tiny Desk concert has FINALLY been released!!! :party::grinning: https://www.npr.org/2020/03/09/811857679/coldplay-tiny-desk-concert?t=1583784886452

I really hope they go back to a more AROBTTH kind of ‘clean’ production just with beautiful instrumentation, ideally with the producer mixing the album as well.

I agree, the build-up and speculation is the most exciting part of a new album launch!

I found this one from 2012 where Jonny recommends some places to go in London, I hope that helps!
