Night is the bride of a lonely day

Thank you very much for uploading this. It was sooo good to see the band live again! But of course it was a bit sad that they did not play one single new song, but played their old hits for the 1000th time. I wonder whether they really have created any new songs. It may be they are just happy with all the songs they have released and satisfied when now and then they are asked to play them. Their former enthusiasm for new musical ideas seems to have gone .Besides, nowadays it is so difficult for them to meet and rehearse.

And I'm not gonna say, "I don't mean that"

The French/German cultural chain 'Arte' is dedicating an evening to Coldplay. They are playing the film 'A Head Full Of Dreams' at the moment and after that they will show the film about the 'Mylo Xyloto' tour from 2012.

Here's a report by the Swedish newspaper Aftonbladet https://www.aftonbladet.se/nojesbladet/a/rAk2el/varldsstjarnan-pa-hemligt-sverigebesok It says that Chris had a secret meeting in Stockholm with Max Martin, who produced 'Orphans'. It also shows pictures of Chris going for a walk on his own and giving autographs for fans outside the hotel.

Perhaps they are all four together in California? As location of their performance of 'Paradise' during the 'Global Goal: Unite For Our Future Concert' Los Angeles was shown.

I agree. Sadly no new music for the time being. And this was to be expected. Shortly after they had finished the Everyday Life tour, the Corona lockdown began, and for the last 8 weeks they have not been able to do anything together. As Chris said in the livestream:' I miss my brothers'. They surely have new ideas, but they can't record and discuss anything. Perhaps 11 May was originally intended to be the date of the release of a new album, but then came the virus.

I also doubt the festival will take place, at least not this year. This is so sad, because they seem to have new songs. Chris hinted at it when giving his 'Together at Home' concert. It is strange that shortly before the outbreak of the pandemic Chris said they were not going on tour in the near future, He didn't think of a virus, though. I am glad they were able to release 'Everyday Life'.

They should have given Chris more time to perform some music. After all, it was him who initiated the whole worldwide Show.

It's US against the world

That might be a hint, and the number above that expiration date, 586379, might also be a hint, but I don't know what it could mean.

Today is Chris's birthday. He is 43. Happy birthday, Chris! May all your wishes for the new year of your life come true!

A composition by Chris when he was 12 years old has been sold for £1,700. Wow! https://www.devonlive.com/news/devon-news/chris-martin-song-coldplay-star-3887292
