Famous Old Painter

The first half is an edit of a real 30 second snippet that leaked

Shazaming it produced nothing, so it's possible this is a real Coldplay demo after all. If not, let me know who the original artist is so I can hear more. If it is actually Coldplay, then wow wow wow, this is the Colora2ra I've been waiting for. The metadata says 2020 so if that's true then this sounds like another attempt at a Coloratura style song. If they don't finish this off with drums and vocals it'll be the biggest missed opportunity in their discography. Again, if it's not really Coldplay, then someone should send this to Phil to he can link the artist up with Coldplay anyway.

Now Untitled Demo Instrumental, what is this? Sounds fantastic, whether it's Coldplay or not.

It’s 100% fake guys. The intro just loops the same bit from the snippet over and over again, the choir is only there for a few seconds before immediately fading out, and the strings sound like someone’s keyboard and not something Davide Rossi would produce.

I kind of hope (with no evidence) that One World gets the Coloratura/Midnight treatment before the album. A Film for the Future seems to be a music video for it, so you never know. It might be a smart move, it'll calm down the "Newplay sold out" crowd temporarily. And more importantly, it'll give those million people a chance to hear where their voices went. Having a million people listen to your song would make it an automatic hit.

Also, why was Miha allowed to post the K word?

The Sun has confirmed a video for We Pray has been filmed so it's definitely a single. That doesn't necessarily mean it will be the second one but it will be released at some point.

Of course the song with some of their worst lyrics ever is the one they decide to translate into sign language

Historically, they've always given the second single the big push. Which I guess means this time they're placing their bets on We Pray.

Always happy to hear Davide. We know he’s on FLIFIL and One World too, hopefully there’ll be even more of him to look forward to on MM.

I really like We Pray. It's a damn sight better than My Universe and honestly a lot better than FLIFIL too. It feels like something Damon Albarn would write, so I just hope Max doesn't un-Gorillaz it too much in the studio. Are the lyrics about Palestine? Would explain the late inclusion on the tracklist if so. Either way I'm thrilled to hear a Coldplay song with actual, interesting meaning behind the lyrics for once.

It got uploaded to the other site It just sounds like a Yellow intro to me. Same chord progression and everything. Doubt it’ll be on MM.

Yeah

I missed this bit and can't find a download anywhere. Anyone wanna upload this?

My personal guess is Man in the Moon and I am a Mountain are the two unknown tracks but that's just my educated guess

Moon Music, FLIFIL, All My Love, We Pray and One World are all confirmed Jupiter and Good Feelings are written on their new stage outfits (and have appeared on every single whiteboard without fail) so they’re probably included Rainbow Suite was tweeted about by Phil recently so that’s probably on there Man in the Moon is the only mystery on that list

Wish granted, Coldplay performs Orange again

It's not long to go now. Hopefully The Sun were right and we're getting the live debut of We Pray. It would be cool to get some other live debuts too a la Glastonbury 2011 but it would be foolish to expect that.

1. Moon Music 2. Man in the Moon 3. Jupiter 4. Good Feelings 5. All My Love 6. Neon Forest / MUSiC / Angel Song (aka Rainbow) 7. We Pray 8. Feels Like I'm Falling in Love 9. One World It won't be identical as FLIFIL is confirmed for track 2, plus it's confirmed to have 10 tracks whilst the December tracklist only had 9.

I know they said Eno was involved at that meetup a few years ago, but I haven't heard or seen anything since then that confirms he's actually been involved in Moon Music. Until it gets confirmed by someone I'm assuming he's actually not on this record at all, or if he is it's in a minor capacity (like guest backing vocalist or something).

Credit to whoever made MUSiC, it's a pretty lovely sounding mix

So there's something called M.U.S.i.C. that's been uploaded which sounds like a reprise of Forever Whatever. Is this fake or not?

FLIFIL sounded pretty much identical to the snippet that leaked several months beforehand tbf

I remember way back in 2008 they were talking about the making of 42. They had written the first section and the final section, but there was a gap in the middle. So Chris told Johnny to fill it somehow, and he came back a few hours later with this weird-as-hell Radiohead style section. The result was one of Coldplay's finest and most creative songs. Nowadays when they're in that exact situation, Chris just fills it with "oooh!' and "lalalala". It's kind of bleak thinking of it like that. (The exception being getting a three minute long saxophone solo to fill up Arabesque. More of that kind of thinking please!)
