RunForTheHills

I'm pretty sure that was mentioned in the Billboard article, allong with The Goldrush and Postcards From Far Away. http://www.billboard.com/bbcom/news/article_display.jsp?vnu_content_id=1003788558

Haha, you're first post was amusing :laugh1:I think someone here has a phrase under their name which says something like "Obsessive Coldplay Disorder". Maybe thats what you, and so many other unfortunate coldplayers may have :P And yes, I'm hoping all the unreleased songs, including Lukas, show up as B sides.

Hahaha, that was actually hilarious :laugh1:

Thanks everyone :nice: I updated the artwork for the last time (moved the text up a little, looks better that way I think), and I also added a small Violet Hill icon, if you don't want to use the larger ones :wink: strawberry_swing, I could try to do that, but chances are they'll never see it anyway, due to the amount of messages they get there. Its a cool idea, though. And they might already have artwork for it, so its a very long shot :P

:dance: Thanks! I used a Wacom tablet to paint the picture, so its really just a painting in Photoshop. All I used was the brush tool :wink: And I've updated the artwork in the first post, replacing it with slightly darker colours to balance it out a little better. Other than that its identical. And if anyone has any suggestions as to what I could add to it (to the space in the middle maybe) then I would love to hear them :smiley: Otherwise, enjoy! PS: Loving your new sig Chelsea! :dance:

So, I was bored today and I was thinking about what people have been saying about Violet Hill being download only. This might mean that when the song becomes available for download, it will not come with its own artwork, like other 'physical' singles off the album. So I thought I would make an unofficial cover for Violet Hill as if it were a single off the new album! I hope this would be useful for those who like album art displayed with their songs on their iPod, or on their media player of choice. If Coldplay decide to add official artwork to the downloadable song, then maybe I've wasted my time :P I was bored though, and I had fun making it. Here's the medium sized version of the cover: Here's the 75 x 75px icon: And click HERE for the full sized version. Enjoy! :wink:

Hehe, your mirror pics are the best :nice: Oohh, I knew you got close to him twice, but I didn't realise it was in two different places! Was it like, once before and once after the speech? Either way, its so awesome that you got to meet him! :dance: :dance: :dance:

YAY! :D Really great photos! You can really feel the energy in them... and you were sooo close! :dance: And you look really pretty, of course :nice: I love the last picture! :smiley: I like how you sneaked in the Obama website link at the end too, hehe

Woohooo! This is great news! I have a feeling its true too. We're so close! :dance:

Har har @ the apple on her back, very funny :dozey:

I think she means this one: Its actually a decent photo of them IMO. And they certainly don't look "unattractive", either.

So, any other guesses (based on recent speculation, and the fact that we are actually in April now and nothing has yet been released)? I now think we might be hearing it last week of April or first week of May, and that that if it is truly a single, that it will be released early June.

^Probably via PM, nothing to worry about. I just read the description again, and it just gets better every time I read it. Its going to be awesome (hopefully).

Yep, they do look similar. The general head shape is almost identical, and even the hair line is similar. The only two things I would say are different are the shape of their mouths and eyebrows. Or maybe thats because Chris always has his eyebrows raised... haha. I don't know.

Happy birthday Tracie! Hope you have a good one :dance: And happy birthday mrcool (Nik?) :smiley:

^I would probably classify that as a nightmare, haha. Because that WOULD be a nightmare if I happened to miss something big like that.

Ooooh, thanks! Translation: The new album from COLDPLAY, VIVA LA VIDA OR DEATH AND ALL HIS FRIENDS, expected for June, brings other artistic references, in addition to the already mentioned Frida Khalo inspiration in the long title of the album. The cover depicts a famous canvas of Eugene Delacroix (painter of French Romanticism), "Liberty Leading the People" of 1830. On that famous screen, Delacroix painted a reflection of the political struggles that took place in the France of that time: the Revolution of July 1830, the abdication of Charles X to the throne and the coronation of Louis-Philippe. Track listing - Viva La Vida or Death and All His Friends 1. Life In Technicolor 2. Cemeteries Of London 3. Lost! 4. 42 5. Lovers In Japan / Reign Of Love 6. Yes 7. Viva La Vida 8. Violet Hill 9. Strawberry Swing 10. Death And All His Friends Viva La Vida or Death And All His Friends follows the huge success album X & Y, which sold 10 million units since its launch in 2005. ^And I was just about to post that picture! I wonder if it IS the album cover, or whether its just inspired by it.

I'm so fricking PUMPED.

Thanks for sticking around and answering questions ;) Can I ask, will we hear it this month, in April?

I don't what to say really, but if its true, then you just got me more excited. The way you described it sounds awesome.

:dance:

We already have a million and one other Violet Hill threads... :dozey:

EMI are basically Coldplay's bosses, they probably came up with the release date anyway. I would have thought that anything that EMI say in terms of the new album is completely legit. The band have said all they need to say I reckon.

Haha, true true. Here's a random thought. I've been worrying that I'll get tired of Violet Hill quickly, and it will end up like Clocks or Yellow in the 'overplayed pile', because when I first get it I'm obviously going to listen to it 100 times a day. Anyone else feel the same way? It kind of makes me want the singles to be released after the album itself, so all the tracks can get equal attention.

OMG, I feel your pain! Haha :P It even worse when you've subscribed to the news search, and 90% of the articles aren't even relevant. It certainly clutters my inbox.
