Famous Old Painter

Jupiter is a straight up acoustic song - no drums. Think Sleeping Sun or Til Kingdom Come. It ends with a sample of Two Aliens. So TA is on the album, technically. MUSIC is the heavy bit of the Neon Forest leak. Angelsong is straight up a Sigur Ros song. No Angel Moon, Will is doing a Jonsi impression.

Listening now. Moon Music title track = Colora2ra + Daddy. Beautiful. Ballsy choice of opener for a pop album.

Also what makes One World so long compared to the live version? Is it an extended string section or is there another section which wasn’t performed live?

What makes the first part of AHAR better than the second?

So All My Love will be the final Coldplay single… ever? So that means the musical and self titled won’t have any? Also, he doesn’t seem to know whether self titled or MOTS3 will come first. But neither will be ready by 2025, that’s for sure.

Whilst I'm on a hot streak

If there was an edition with a new bonus track we'd know about it by now. I figured proper b-sides were out the window once they decided Aeterna would be on the album. My screening is less than 24 hours from now. Whether or not the album has leaked before then, by this time tomorrow I will have heard Moon Music. Excited! In the event it still hasn't leaked by then I'm happy to do an ama about it.

I'd be amazed if 🌈 is ever played live, and I doubt they'll be wheeling out One World again either (although they've played it once so you never know)

I'm starting to wonder if the rumours about an EP have some truth to them. Shine On and A Wave need a home, right?

They weighed in on the Vegas street song! "I have only listened twice, but I don’t believe this song is on the album." And there you have it

Someone on Reddit who got the album early described the title track as "more of the early Rush of Blood sound", make of that what you will

In the interview with Zane, Chris says that Alien Hits/Alien Radio is a preview of "the next thing". So MOTS3, maybe? He also said that AH/AR is a lyrical response to the title track

I assume this song was renamed Moon Music, though we don't know that for sure

It seems to confirm that One World is indeed one long song (ie no hidden track).

I've gone from hoping it leaks to hoping it doesn't, as I've got tickets to a cinema screening

I can’t believe they actually used my Biutyful remix on the album. I feel so honoured.

I'm a dummy and can't work out how to play this

I thought it was just the alternative versions of We Pray that came with the single

As sure as the sun setting

People are getting copies now

Both samples are from the Moon Music title track. Forever Held is in the same key as the Vegas street song (Emaj) and has a similar chord progression too. Think of it like this, Forever Held is MOTS1 and the street song is Higher Power, they've just connected the two tracks this time. Both Neon Forest and Angelsong are in the key of Cmaj so it makes no sense for MUSIC to be the street song. The street song is also too long to fit alongside NF and AS in a 6 minute track.

People who preordered The Smile's new album are getting notifications their orders are shipped. Assume the same will happen with Coldplay too.
