Can’t wait to see your hat-eating video soon! :joy:

This is a kirboh meme:

The world turned upside down

As I’ve said in another thread: Everyday Life Live 2020 That’s my prediction based off Ghost Stories Live 2014

You know what that means then: Everyday Life Live 2020

Jonny had a dentist appointment that day :joy:

This title reminds me of Imagine Dragons ‘I’m on top of the world’ so that’s kinda sound I’m expecting but I guess we’ll see

A Head Full Of Dreams Colour Spectrum/Clocks Midnight God Put A Smile Upon Your Face Princess of China Talk Spies Life in Technicolor ii / The Escapist (extended) A Sky Full Of Stars Up&Up

About Jonny doing the solo..... He actually is very much at work already during the sax solo (which I absolutely love especially that reverby bit). You can hear him in the background and he’s absolutely SHREDDING it is one of the best things about this song in my opinion

Coldplay - A Head Full Of Dreams Tour - December 03, 2016 - Mt Smart Stadium, Auckland (NZ) Eclipse (Pink Floyd Tribute) - April 06, 2019 - Fly Palmy Arena, Palmerston North (NZ) Coming Up: U2 with Noel Gallagher - Joshua Tree Tour 2019 - November 09, 2019 - Mt Smart Stadium, Auckland (NZ)

I guess the question is what gets released next and when? Will it be another single, a double single like this one, a different version of Orphans and/or Arabesque (radio edit, acoustic or remix), or will we just have to wait until the actual album itself for the next release?

Arabesque vs Viva la Vida

Clocks vs Arabesque

For me Arabesque has really hit me hard and I am in love. The only thing I disagree with this song and album is explicit content. In saying that, there are clean versions available because I really wouldn’t want the family-friendliness to be lost. And tbh the Chris curses actually make a lot of sense and works well, and is pretty subtle amongst the climax.

I’ve been so excited for this release I couldn’t sleep last night! After hearing these, I definitely think as most of you do that Arabesque is the clear winner. Orphans is pretty good but will need to take more time to appreciate and grow on me, and to be honest I feel like it’s missing something. Nice that Chris Martins kids are on it tho. I instantly fell in love with Arabesque, this song sounds like a New Zealand electronic band ‘Fat Freddy’s Drop’ who use a lot of brass and have reggae-electro beats. Check them out and you’ll see! I’m stoked too cause Coldplay also put an advert for their album in the NZ dominion post with the tracklist so that’s cool we haven’t been forgotten this time :joy:

Kia kaha! I concur

Ugh I’ve missed out on most of these leaks too because I’ve been sleeping :weary_face: That 15 second one sounds very promising tho. Imagine if Los Unidades decided they’d make a comeback too:joy:

I’m starting to get Illuminati vibes from this album...

WILD THEORY: Violet Hill/HFTW medley It would be perfect seeing as they’re the same tempo. Maybe Violet Hill is played by Chris at a piano on his own at first before the whole band launches into the one chord explosion we all know and love from the song, which is used as an extended buildup before dropping into HFTW and then maybe that also becomes the Seeb remix version toward the end of that. Is that a bit out there?

It doesn’t seem like it (as in credited artists) but we’ve learned that there are producers like Timbaland and possibly vocals from some other chick who I’ve forgotten what her name is

DAAHF vs Twisted Logic

I am actually a fan of The War of The Worlds soundtrack tho it is freaking awesome

By the way AHFOD was not a bad album

I know! We all have high expectations for this band so when something doesn’t fulfill what we were hoping for it can be easy to whinge about that. I think we should all not judge books by its covers for now and wait till we hear the album in it’s entirety before making judgements

Tbh I was still kind of wishing for titles like Metamorphosis and Mission ABORT... o_O
