Famous Old Painter

At the very start of flifil you can hear the synths from Neon Forest fading out. So that tells me MOON MUSiC may feature elements of Neon Forest somehow.

I wonder if Moon Music is the legendary Man in the Moon. I assume there’s still a Moon Music intro, but they actually incorporated it into the main body of the song for once. Rainbow isn’t as long as I was hoping but I’ll happily take it. iAAM being so short is a surprise. Maybe the soundcheck was close to the full song after all? Aeterna is also surprisingly short given there’s a hidden track at the end of it. One World being so long makes me think maybe A Wave is a hidden track after all, that would be cool.

iAAM 😑

If you take the version of side b with Orchestra of Rainbows; add Coloratura, A Wave and a few other tracks, you’d have a really good non-pop space themed album. When MM is released I’m gonna make a playlist and see how it flows.

I also don’t see how Rainbow fits into the “pop Coldplay” thing either

The Orchestra of Rainbows is 500x a better title than 🌈 what the hell guys

Do you have any word on what the tracklist might be yet?

There are vocals for sure, but I’m not certain what the lyrics are

That’s a reupload of a demo that leaked a while ago. Apparently the album version will be longer.

This was meant as a sort-of joke. But if it did happen it would be the most Coldplay thing ever.

Plot twist - neither Jupiter or MITM end up on the album. The FLIFIL pt.2 interlude takes up a track slot instead.

I mean it’s actually longer than a fortnight this time, so technically my wish came true?

It doesn't pack the same punch as the live version, but that's to be expected. Anyway I hope it's out soon, and they don't make us wait a fortnight again.

Man oh man, imagine if Everyday Life has proper b-sides. It's shame to think those tracks just get vaulted now.

Hot take alert I prefer the Zerb remix of FLIFIL to the original

I took a few hours off with my wife and feel a lot better now. You're right, it was undignified and a bad look. Anyway, I don't see any harm in speculating in future releases. It might not be grounded completely in reality but it's a fun way to kill the time, and obviously things will get updated as we get future information. The thread might have been premature, sure, but we're going to need one eventually. So I see no harm in having one ready.

I thought having a fun harmless distraction would be a healthy thing. My mistake. Sorry for getting excited about upcoming Coldplay releases Mr. Llama.

I mean that was obviously posted several days ago but ok

Thanks for picking the day I got fired to tear into me, much appreciated guys

My theory is FFTF2024 was originally going to be something else, but they ran out of time to do it so they repurposed the title for a Moon Music lyric video compilation.

We don't know yet.

Well there are 10 song slots available if you look at what's on Apple Music/Spotify at the moment. Waddle could be correct that it's a hidden track somewhere, and if that's the case we'll find out soon enough. But if it's not hidden it's not on the album, there's just no room.
