I FUCKING HATE RAPIDSHARE!!! :(

GIMME A C GIMME AN E GIMME A D GIMME AN R GIMME AN I GIMME A C WHAT DOES IT SPELL???? CEEEEDRIIIICCCCCCCCCC!!!!

Let's start with the lyrics people... Who's gonna give Chinese Sleep Chant a go??? lol

HATS OFF MAN!!!! you're my favourite person today by far :) thanks a million

The MTV review also says that DAAHF has the lyrics "so come over, just be patient..." so there, no more doubts. Maybe the song's structure is similar to 42 and in the latter part of the song the bells and the choirs burst out...

Am i the only one who thinks this song is going to be an AWESOME combination of Sparks, Green Eyes and A Message with a little bit of Fix You thrown in the mix???? Personally, i've always been a sucker for Coldplay ballads and straight up love songs like Sparks and Yellow, they just hit the right note with me and after hearing the sheer incredibleness (dunno if that's actually a word hehe) of Lovers in Japan, i'm drooling in anticipation for Reign Of Love....

You're right! for me it's like See You Soon/Sleeping Sun/A Message all thrown into a blender and the result is a modern Coldplay Classic :) and we've yet to hear Reign Of Love...

Fucking hell man (no pun intended...) Before it's too late for what??? Why do i have to believe in a fictional tale intended to control and secure power over the masses, i mean, i believe that there something bigger than us up there but i don't care for calling it Christ, Jehova, Buddha or whatever.... I'd much rather accept CHRIS... MARTIN :)

Well i meant choruses as in "Your skin, oh yeah, your skin and bones..." and so forth but we can discuss anything you fancy as long as it's in the Coldplay realm :P

I think the most experimental thing we've heard so far is "A spell A rebel yell" and certain parts of Violet Hill...

1. Coldplay!!! 2. Radiohead 3. Oasis 4. Pink Floyd 5. Snow Patrol :)

Coming Back To Life as in Pink Floyd's Coming Back To Life??? :)

My three most played songs overall are all Coldplay: 1. Violet Hill (i just couldn't get enough of it when it was released) 2. Yellow (fav. song of all time bar-none) 3. Viva la vida (love it!) 4. Weird fishes/Arpeggi by Radiohead 5. Sparks

Coldplay saying that they won't release Viva La Vida until George W. Bush admits he's an asshole...

My list would probably be: Square one Don't panic Trouble Politik Warning sign Yellow Life in technicolor Sparks Violet Hill Low Green eyes See you soon Viva la vida Swallowed in the sea X&Y Parachutes In my place Everything's not lost (life is for living) :)

In your opinion, what's the best chorus in a Coldplay song??? I would say my fav is Yellow :)

Yeah i've heard it a couple of times here in mexico =) it always cheers me up so much whenever i hear a coldplay song on the radio

Can somebody upload in something that's not rapidshare pleaseee??? it's not working on my computer and i'm dying to hear the song... thanks :)

Coldplay at Work on "Something Different" for Upcoming Album Behind the scenes with Chris Martin and crew as they record their fourth Coldplay are currently holed up in a studio in northern London, trying to hammer out the details for their still-untitled fourth album, due out in May. On a white board, three band members have posted radically different proposed track listings for the album. Chris Martin has withheld his, hoping to lobby his colleagues a little while longer. "I heard a Bono quote once that said 'Bands shouldn't break up over money, they should break up over track listing,' " he says. "Nothing could be more pertinent at this point." To record their fourth album, the band hired legendary producer Brian Eno and pointedly tried to remove all outside influences. "We felt like the first three albums were a trilogy, and we finished that," says guitarist Johnny Buckland. "So we wanted to do something different." The band let Rolling Stone hear the songs they're working on, and most are refreshingly, bracingly different from Coldplay hits like "Clocks" and "Speed of Sound." Several tracks are considerably rougher around the edges, with distorted guitars and more prominent percussion. The lyrics are darker, dealing with recurring themes of death and loneliness. And on several songs, Martin extends his vocal palette considerably beyond the falsetto that has largely defined him, exhibiting a lower, sexier mode that feels more personal and real. "Whether or not it's good, we certainly started to use more colors," says Martin. "It's impossible to please everybody, and it took us a while to learn that. It's just the freedom to say, 'Everyone might not like this. We're into it at the moment, so let's just get it done.' " The band explored in a variety of sonic directions, something they attribute to Eno's encouragement. "He's just not judgmental, it's very refreshing," says Martin. Buckland adds, "It wasn't so much that he brings like a sound or something to it. He brings lots of ideas about everything, even down to like how we structured our day." His suggestion? "Take lots of breaks." Of course, the band is still hammering away at that track listing, but here's a guide to several of the songs likely to end up on the album: "Violet Hill": One of the strongest of the new songs, the band is considering giving it away as a special promotion in coming weeks and then leaving it off the album. Opening with a jagged distorted guitar riff, the song announces a new template: The stalking, bluesy beat fits nicely with Martin's earthy vocals and plaintive lyrics: "If you love me, won't you let me know?" "42": The fact that the band is considering this song as the album's first real single underlines how far they're willing to a stray from their formula: It's an elaborate three-part piece, with swirling pianos, strings and beat loops that build to an uptempo climax, with some seriously stoner lyrics: "Those who are dead are not dead/They're just living in my head." "Yes": Here, Martin's vocals take center stage like never before: Sounding more aggressive and strong than ever, they sit on top of an irresistible North African string-and-tablas arrangement and ache more convincingly than all the lilting falsetto in the world: "If you'd only, if you'd only say 'Yes'/I'm just so tired of this loneliness." It's the band's freshest song since "Parachutes." "Death and All His Friends": A straight-up rock tune with a riff that sounds ripped from the Doobie Brothers, piano, and, in the last section, flute. "Cemetaries of London": Notice the thematic pattern emerging from the title and lyrics? This one, with an electro loop and hand claps, doesn't sound as glum as its title portends. "Life in Technicolor": Acoustic-guitar driven and jangly, this is one of the few tracks that seems built from the Coldplay template of songs like "Don?t Panic," only a bit more, well, panicked: "Baby it's a violent world," Martin sings. "Chinese Sleep Chant": Opening with a jagged guitar riff, the song quickly settles into a propulsive dance-track loop with low-mixed, angelic vocals. "Strawberry Swing": This is one of several potential album cuts with Afro-pop and high-life influences: Here, distortion-free finger-picked guitars which sound straight out of Mali mix with a heavy bassline and psychedelic synths. "My Mum comes from Zimbabwe, so I spent a lot of time there," says Martin. "I used to work in a studio where people played that." "Reign of Love": A lovely layered composition of piano, bass and organ that backs fairytale lyrics. http://www.rollingstone.com/news/story/18915732/coldplay_at_work_on_something_different_for_upcoming_album :-)

Maybe this has already come up in a thread but i suck at the search button, please don't crucify me... Who did Chris write the song Green Eyes to???? I know it was for a girlfriend before gwyneth and that he was forbidden to play it live for quite a while but does anyone have more information on this green-eyed girlfriend??? Much appreciated thanks

blimey never knew that thom had said that, well that puts things in perspective lol thanks!!

Today i'm thinking that All i need is the modern radiohead version of Climbing up the walls? Both are alike in lyrics and in the somber theme i dunno, i just see them that way... what do you guys think??

I have a thought... I have seen coldplay live twice now, in the AROBTTH tour in 03 and in the twisted logic tour this year and here's what i think: i think the AROBTTH album is so well produced and performed that the songs don't sound so good when played live (except for daylight) but on the other hand i think the X&Y and parachutes songs improve when played live (for example fix you and talk or trouble and sparks). What do you guys think???

wait so how??? was jay-z at the gig last nite??? i could only go to the first show but it was sooooooo frickin good! sparks live is the most beautiful thing i have ever heard

i was betting on the four seasons but maybe the "presidente" hotel is the right choice... anybody know if they are in the country already???
