the_escapist

you can be positive now.

looks like we're going to have to dissapear until October 24 in order to be surprised by the album that day! Unless Paradise comes with DLIBYH and UiF as b-sides.

or the sad ending where they conclude that every teardrop is a waterfall. hahahahaha

Don't think so. Perhaps they are first Mylo Xyloto era singles?

Maybe PoC and Paradise where a part of the concept album that remained on Mylo Xyloto. There are some other songs, like CB and HLH which don't fit the concept idea.

When she was just a girl She expected the world But it flew away from her reach So she ran away in her sleep And dreamed of Paradise

Judging this bit of lyrics and the lyrics of Princess of China, I am guessing Mylo Xyloto is an amazing story!

I am thinking that girl may be Apple. So yes, maybe indirectly the song is about Apple.

this!

Hopefully they will tweet a little bit more of the lyrics tomorrow and on Saturday and Sunday!

awesome!!!

happy birthday Politik. Definitely one of the best Coldplay songs. According to Chris himself, it is in the top 3.

still crossing my fingers for a b-side!

i really don't like it. way too obvious.

BTW, I don't really know what's going on at Coldplay camp but if they keep so mysterious we will get the track listing from an unofficial source like Amazon, etc.

awesomeeeee!!!! great find! but nothing not already expected. the length of the song is the best piece of news.

I agree. But it's a shame since they will probably deserve it.

4 DAYS! that's nothing!!!! can't wait to hear the new song!!!

Guy Hands launches fresh EMI legal battle Terra Firma chairman files another lawsuit against Citigroup – this time over way it took control of the UK music company Mark Sweney guardian.co.uk, Wednesday 7 September 2011 12.48 BST Guy Hands has launched legal action against Citigroup over the way it wrested control of the music company EMI from him seven months ago. Terra Firma, the venture capital firm run by Hands, has filed legal action in the high court seeking to force Citigroup to provide full evidence as to why it took control of EMI in February. The US bank, which supplied Hands with the debt to fund his £4.2bn acquisition of EMI in 2007, took control of the British music company when Terra Firma could no longer support the £3bn Citigroup was still owed. EMI's board of directors appointed PricewaterhouseCoopers as the independent administrator, which determined that Citigroup should take control. A source close to Hands says the financier is seeking information from Citi about the grounds under which it was able to exercise taking control as well as the valuation attached to EMI. Hands believes that all payments on debt had been maintained up until Citi took control in February, although EMI was expected to break a test of its banking covenants at the end of the first quarter. A procedural hearing is understood to have taken place on Tuesday, when an application for information was made by lawyers representing Terra Firma. Earlier in the summer, Citigroup put EMI up for sale, a process expected to be completed by next month – although it is now unclear whether the legal action would disrupt this timeline. Hands had been fighting a rearguard action in attempting to hold on to EMI. In January, he lodged an application to challenge a verdict delivered in November after a New York jury cleared Citigroup of tricking the private equity firm into overpaying for EMI. Bidders for EMI are thought to include Len Blavatnik, who is in the final stages of completing a $3.3bn takeover of Warner Music; the billionaire Gores brothers; and German giant Bertelsmann, which is attempting to build its music publishing business BMG Rights Management, a joint venture with private equity group KKR. Sony Music, which is thought to have worked with Bertelsmann on an unsuccessful bid for Warner Music, and Universal Music have also assessed EMI's recorded music and publishing assets. Artists signed to EMI labels include Coldplay, Katy Perry and Tinie Tempah. Citigroup has previously said that it will consider "all offers" for the business and is not wedded to the idea of selling EMI as a whole, which is the preferred option for Roger Faxon, EMI's chief executive. Terra Firma, Citigroup and EMI declined to comment. • To contact the MediaGuardian news desk email [email protected] or phone 020 3353 3857.
