It's real, Phil confirmed it. Apparently the couple asked Phil if they could use it and he said yes.

So All My Love has to be released this month right? There are too many previews for a song they'd want to keep a lid on.

Yeah, that makes sense. I hope that's not Angel Moon in the background

If they reworked it as an acoustic A Message style song, it would explain why Camila Cabello and the crowd noises are no longer on it. It would also explain why they didn't think it was lead single material anymore.

The context is describing Jupiter as a guitar-heavy song. This description doesn’t match the leaked snippets at all

Has anything new been posted in the past, idk, month or two that's worth hearing? I haven't been paying attention for a while.

Shows how much times have changed then. Back in '08 Radiohead was easily the most popular band on Coldplaying (other than Coldplay themselves of course).

The Smile just yoinked Coldplay’s release date

I can’t even imagine how that would sound

Ehhh I’d put Higher Power above flifil We Pray wipes the floor with both though

My dumb theory is that Aeterna evolved from an attempt at doing The Race.

Huge if true. Staraflur is an all time favourite of mine

It’s when you record yourself using your phone.

Well that officially confirms the 🌈 title Glad I didn’t pre-order that edition, the tracklist looks pretty grim

Also 🌈 is actually called ALiEN HiTS ALiEN RADiO which is… a lot less poetic than The Orchestra of Rainbows

One World was produced by Brian Eno and the million voices thing was his idea. I called it, I fucking called it.

We probably don’t need Overtura at this point, they’ve previewed every song except Jupiter and 🌈 via Instagram reels and such

I was told the version of Neon Forest that leaked is four minutes long. If it’s sharing a track that’s 6 minutes with two other songs, either the other songs are super short (like Alien Choir or Poppyfields) or Neon Forest has been trimmed significantly, which would make me sad. Or the person who told me that was bullshitting, which is also possible. The live Yellow intro, which Phil said is a part of Neon Forest, doesn’t quite fit either. It’s in a different key with a different tempo. So who the fuck knows what’s going on.

If you listen closely to the intro of FLIFIL you’ll hear the same synths from the leaked Neon Forest fading out. So maybe there’s something to it?

This was posted to the other site. Bullshit or no?

The fact it's 7 minutes long as opposed to 4 tells me if it is a long song, they've reworked it in some way. There was someone claiming to be an insider who was most likely bullshitting, but they said it ended with a crescendo similar to the live version of Biutyful. So it's possible this song goes in directions we haven't anticipated yet.

In Athens people were crying to feelslikeimfallinginlove, calling it a song with a classic Oldplay feel and insisting it would be a huge hit. In the end it got middling reviews and hardly took the world over commercially. It's absolutely wonderful the Moon Loungers got that experience, and I'm super grateful they shared all that information with us. But if you're invited by your favourite band to listen to some songs before anyone else in the world gets to; you're going to have a very different listening experience to someone on the other side of the planet using their laptop much later. It's really promising that the Loungers love iAAM so much, but I'm not assuming anything here.

I agree, actually. I'd prefer one 7 minute song to a hidden track. Coloratura proved they can do long songs well and I want more. On that, and I'm sure I've said it before, I hope Rainbow is one long song in three parts as opposed to three separate songs with silence in between. We could call it 43!

I worry that fans (more on Reddit than here) are projecting their fantasies onto iAAM, and are hyping it to a level that the real song won’t reach.
