The Jordanator

Cemeteries of London vs Yellow

The only ETIAW they’ll ever perform nowadays is I TURN THE MUSIC UP on repeat to Infinity Sign I’m hoping Politik is on the set list since it’s iconic for them in relation to Glastonbury. I definitely think new songs will be performed too, and a brand new edition of the Lightclub

Politik vs Orphans

The Scientist vs Coloratura

Strawberry Swing vs Feelslikeimfallinginlove

Arabesque vs Violet Hill

Daddy vs Amsterdam

M O N E Y 🤑

Well it’s not their best lead single but I love how the song goes from MOTS style to something more VIVA-esque, even with hints of X&Y in the final minute. It’s a really ‘feel good’ track which is classic Coldplay. Shiver - 8/10 In My Place - 8.5/10 Speed of Sound - 10/10 Violet Hill - 10/10 ETIAW - 10/10 Magic - 9.5/10 AOAL - 10/10 Orphans/Arabesque - 10/10 Higher Power - 10/10 FLIFIL - 8/10

Page 42 everyone and a new single on the way! 🥳

Good point, except you’re assuming that they’re gonna be officially releasing the single next Friday when they never said that.

My favourite 2 Aliens lyric is ”I have no idea who this is!”

https://x.com/coldplay/status/1797828981473018268 New lyric just dropped! Intelligence from a leaked snippet (in spoilers):

Aeterna with Nile Rodgers?? I must have missed this one. Can someone help me out with this?

Idk what to tell you but I’m clearly seeing Angels and Weekday on this old list. I wonder if these are all going to be musical tracks now 🤔

I mean its not bad but i feel like this song would be better suited as an acoustic version of a song that should have a more produced, bombastic sound.

Fun is one of the worst songs on AHFOD and partly to do with that horrible over-reverbed intro and accompanying generic stargate production. Tomorrow on the other hand makes the riff the main focus of the song, clearly dominant guitar work from Jonny that sparkles amongst the synth bass and MX-centric production. It works so much better here and its a shame this song never was released on MX or GS as it was. I would say it even works better than DLIBYH. Tracklist placement might have been difficult given it sounds like a good closer and UWTB is right there too however I don't see why a b-side to Paradise or another single could have been done.

1. Aeterna 2. The Lightclub 3. Everyday Life (alt.) tied with Arabesque demo

Etiaw is a good option for a rotational song however I fear the rotational slot at A stage where Charlie Brown, Politik and Orphans get played will now be replaced for a permanent Moon Music song. Songbook might get replaced with a new slow song/ballad from the new album too. I am hopeful that where Humankind once was will see a new song get played there too.

SO BLESSED SO BLESSED SO BLESSED Hard to imagine that this was the lead single before Higher Power was written, or as a stadium tour song. Nice little bop tho.

Exactly that's the whole point of the pitched voice, Chris is portraying himself as an alien speaking to an earthling. This alien fortunately is not as ridiculous as the pitching for Angel Moon. I notice a few of the MOTS demos and released songs feature different variations of pitched voices (A Wave, Biutyful, People of the Pride (background deepened voice), MOTS ii, Earthling, Royalty) so maybe one of the original intentions was that the album was going to have a lot of different 'aliens' singing throughout. That idea hasn't been executed so well in the final cut as its only Biutyful & MOTS ii which has that noticeable effect and the tracks stand out like baboon butts because of it.

Or how about if you know something, just shut up until it’s officially announced?

All leaked Coldplay demos (excluding viva demos from years ago I’m not sure how they were made public) have only ever been leaked on dbree. If that site is down for good now, it’s certainly going to be a lot harder for any more demos to leak.

North America (esp. Toronto), and even middle east + South Africa might even be on the cards next year
