I have updated the first post with all of your lyrics - thank you so much for your contributions! 🙂 Also, I suggest that when we find new lines, or see words that need to be corrected, we edit the original posts, rather than create a new one. Thank you.

Not sure if the mix is legit, but I'd say I've never heard those final verses.

Good catch. According to Wikipedia, he released a book in 2018 about Native American history, which had a great critical reception. It would match the theme of the song, as the author Lilian Brandt is named in the previous line, so it's not necessarily about painters. Of course, I look forward to more interpretations.

Congratulations, I will only be able to hear that from now on 😭 I've just uploaded on that site my attempt to isolate Chris's voice, in case anyone with better English skills than me can help.

Definitely something about oranges, but I'm not sure what. I've tried to separate the voice from the instrumental, but I can't make it out - is it perhaps the surname of a painter?

I don't mind some off-topic as long as no rule is breached. I wouldn't want to lose this thread 😅

I see your point and I agree to some extent. The good thing is that you both said the song is amazing now, so it must have evolved a fair bit. I'm sure they will release it if they like it, regardless of the leaks - or so I hope!

I'll take your word for it, hopefully it gets released. Thanks for sharing!

Those aren't publicly available, right? I've only heard the original leak, it sounds cool, although the lyrics were a bit on the weak side. It was good though and the drums reminded me of Birds, a personal favourite.

You're not the first person to speak well of Earthling and I'm really, really curious. I think if I listen to any other of the songs that could potentially be on MM, it will be that one.

Good question. I was very surprised by Tomorrow and Everyday Story (or EL alt). They definitely deserved a release. Those two are my highlights. Although I have to say I haven't heard to potential MM stuff other than the ones we knew (A Wave, Aeterna) and The Only One.

I agree, it's a bit annoying to see that. I understand that people are excited, but we should take it easy.

I understand that the main threads got hidden and this is a good place to talk about the leaks, but please keep it within the rules 🙏

Is this the video you are looking for? I can't remember right now the live performance they had on their channel, sorry...

Didn't notice these details, thanks! On that site, there's an upload called Sorry I'm gonna need more than a snippet to upload the full thing, which is the compilation I was referring to.

We talked about it a bit in the now hidden "EL appreciation thread", I think it was. Snippets 3, 4 and 5 sound like the versions we already know, but 1, 2 and 6 are new I'd say - and they sound very interesting in my opinion! New lyric on the second one too.

I don't know what's going on, I've been away, but I hope this one doesn't fall too....

I see that another thread got hidden. I don't know what happened this time, but I hope it doesn't happen on this one 😓

Thanks for all your contributions to the thread @m4racide , especially for those unreleased bits. Maybe we'll get to hear them in the future, somehow, either by official release, demo release... Who knows. So it's great that they're already here. ----- When I have a bit more free time, I'll try to post more lyrics.

A wedding related Cruise... I hope it's not this one 😂

And honestly, it makes much more sense that the killer whale line, I think 😄

Corrected now, thanks a lot!

This is my attempt for Famous Old Painters (Viva la Vida): When you were born, you were given a name Down from your father and his was the same Your history marked and your future arranged 'Round here they'll tell you that nothing will change The world's gonna end, and the news is all bad Baby, that's lies you just learned from your dad They send you from school, and they push you around Baby, don't let them just button you I'm not going to let them just button you down 'Cause I'm up on the rooftop, painting you roses Screaming your name out and hoping you'll notice I'm hoping you'll notice and know what my name is And I could be just like those famous old painters Your grandfather told you, you're not gonna win Grandpa's a racist, don't listen to him You're not gonna end up in that kind of shame 'Cause one day, I promise we're going to Oh, one day I promise we're gonna escape So I'm up on the rooftops, painting your roses Screaming your name out and hoping you'll notice I'm hoping you'll notice and know what my name is We could be just like those famous old painters How many times have you written your name Hoping a lie, will your destiny change? Don't wanna die and be naked and nameless Starting from nowhere and aiming for greatness

Thanks! I started the thread here. Every contribution is welcome. Also, I'll post more lyrics as I find them.

I'll start with my attempt of Tomorrow. As I said in the original EL thread, English is not my first language, so there's a chance that some of the words are wrong. With that said, Maybe I can let go Maybe I'm just chasing your shadow Lately it seems it's though A stone came crashing through my window Leaving me a ghost Still you know to me you're what matters most Pull me in so close You go through me Even if it all falls away Still I know that we gonna get there someday Maybe tomorrow So there we go We hurt each other in the ways we know Another violent bows A killer whale from the shallows Shadow and a ghost Where we're gonna run to? God only knows Take your arrow And then shoot me Even if it all falls away Still I know that we gonna get there someday Even if it all falls today Still I know that we gonna get there someday Maybe tomorrow Maybe tomorrow
