Lmao, it just sounds like someone spliced DAAHF and Rainy Day together and added their own overdubs at random. Has to be fake. I have to say the piano they added at around 3:15 sounds nice though.

Hey guys, I have everything Coldplay has ever recorded on my hard drive, as well as a music video for Car Kids, a surround sound mix of Ode to Deodorant, and a digital copy of each member's DNA. Feel free to ask me anything and I'll give a vague answer that doesn't really mean anything. No I will not provide proof of any kind.

I made a recording of the Twitch broadcast because I don't have Amazon but the bitrate on the stream was really bad. Does anyone know if the Amazon Music stream looked any better?

As far as I can tell there are 3 versions: 1. AHFOD doc version. Includes the "whatever it takes" line, only a minute-long snippet from the doc itself is available. 2. First leaked version, with the "my heart is beating" bridge but no "whatever it takes", about 5:00 long 3. Second leaked version (the one Alexix is talking about), without "my heart is beating" or "whatever it takes", but with extra vocals and guitar, about 4:30 long

Anyone else really annoyed by the over-autotuning of Selena Gomez's voice on LSG? It ruins the song for me, way too distracting

I can confirm the CD has the correct versions.

Well, having not heard the live leaks, it felt almost surreal hearing "The Man Who Swears" lyrics out of nowhere. It was just about the most unexpected thing about the entire album (aside from Coloratura of course). Even just hearing the "heaven is a fire escape" lyric in a finished song brought a massive smile to my face. However on the whole I don't feel the song is that great, the heavy guitar "chorus" section sounds like its out of a truck commercial or something, it's dreadful. The best part is the horn section in the last third of the song. "The Man Who Swears" deserved better.

Wow, so that's why I can't find a proper version! Unbelievable that they'd screw something like that up. Maybe once someone shares a CD rip I can download that instead.

Hmm, that's strange. I downloaded a Dolby Atmos version of the album with the proper transitions but I couldn't find a correct stereo version. I wonder if it's correct on the CD?

Just so you know, a lot of the leaks floating around are using the single versions of HP, MU and Coloratura, which don't have the proper transitions between tracks (which is why some people are saying the transition between MOTS2 and MU is so abrupt). The proper album versions flow more smoothly. Edit: A way to tell whether you have the right versions: the album version of HP should start with some sound from MOTS before the "3 2 1" (the single version is just silent before the "3 2 1") and the album version of MU should have crowd noise during the intro.

Infinity Sign...... did Coldplay just record a house track?????

I'm also a bit disappointed by the song..... When Arabesque was released back in 2019, it was so exciting, like they were finally doing something NEW and interesting, and when Everyday Life came out it was reassurance that they hadn't lost the desire to experiment like back in the VLV days.... meanwhile this feels like a regression back to the dark days of AHFOD

remember that anyone can enter lyrics on genius, it is pretty likely that someone just made up these lyrics and posted them without ever hearing the song

Well, thanks for sharing it anyway!

Chris on the live stream just now - "we have a new song.... which I'm not supposed to talk about yet, so I won't" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CRCo6RHNGr8:293

Thanks for recording this!

Thanks so much!!!!!!!!!!!!! Super grateful that you got a full recording!!! If you had the spare time would you mind uploading the original audio from the video? Even if it's not the best it'll be better than a Youtube-to-mp3 conversion :D

Posted my recording here: Hopefully someone can edit the best version from mine and JC90's captures. As for me, I have homework to do o_O

I'm currently going through the recording I made so I can upload it, I think mine was mostly clean. Should I bother indexing When I Need a Friend as a separate track? Yes, yes I should.

Over already and no Lovers in Japan :( Still glad to hear a few songs from Jordon though!

I had a slight stutter in Eko or Trouble in Town I think but other than that I'm fine. Should be noted though that all I'm doing is listening to the internet stream in Firefox with Audacity recording my computer's audio. I'm unfamiliar with IHeartRadio so I don't know if this is the best source quality-wise. It sounds really compressed.

Only the very end of When I Need a Friend :(

I'm recording the show too, and I think someone is as well, maybe we could splice together the best version.

SPARKS!

I wonder if they'll end up playing the whole show, but just in a shuffled order. Not sure why they feel the need to play around with it, but I'm grateful that they're broadcasting anything at all!
