John-si-94

not much, listen to music, work out, go out with my girlfriend and friends, watch movies... Are you afraid of the dark?

Also "Where the Action Is" Festival in Sweden where apparently the crowd was amazing.

yep, not other option at all but keep on waiting, but I really think that it will come to us before November arrives.

nothing matters, except life, C O L D P L A Y and the love you make.

I am eagerly awaiting for Princess of China and other new songs - but at the same time I want to save some songs for the actual release of LP5. It's going to feel a little bit moot if we have heard almost all the songs by then...

35 381

no way! plus another new song never played before!!

which is "Us Against the World" - I am guessing...

I think I can wait until October at the latest.

Don't really know if we should believe everything Chris says - I think it may be a little longer before everything starts developing toward the so-long-awaited LP5.

Tash, you got to stop being so uptight and literal. Obviously a typo and a typical joke.

I would summarize the news as following: Chris Martin was recently interviewed by Ryan Seacrest, a U.S. radio host. At the beginning of the interview, Chris said that he was tired since he had recently landed from Sweden, but he was in the studio 10 minutes before the interview started. Asked about the new Coldplay album and if it was finished, he said that there was a lot of jazz, saxophone and bagpipes and a lot of weird chanting. He further clarified the album was not yet finished and it was hard and difficult to finish an album, comparing such duty to getting to final of American Idol. Later on, he was asked by the radio host, what needed to be in his life to make a great record. He confirmed love, distance, heartache, returning to his roots plus some sort of a strange drive which comes from different sources, like someone being mean, someone being fantastic or something on the news. Just anything that makes him feel alive. He also confirmed the news that he was inspired by a scene on the film Biutiful starring Javier Bardem to write the band's new single - Every Teardrop is A Waterfall. Chris said that he gets scared by shows like American Idol, stating that he feels bad for people being kicked out. Such situation reminded him of being turned down by girls at school. He also said that he has to deal with rejection in music all the time, just switching on the Internet. Although, he doesn't looks at the Internet anymore. He also hoped that the album will be revealed before the end of this year. He praised Beyonce and U2 performances on Glastonbury. Asked about which advice he gave to Beyonce before Glastonbury, he joked by saying that his advice to her was not to play any Coldplay songs. He also joked about and denied the rumors of Coldplay's appearance in the 2012 London Olympics inauguration. Regarding LP5 again, he said that the title of the album was hard to spell and it was going to probably be revealed in about 6 weeks. He went further on saying that "in all honesty" he thinks LP5 will be finished in about two weeks time and that the band have worked a long time on it, trying as hard as they possibly can on the next album. In relation to new things fans can expect of the next album, he finally said that there is going to be a lot of guitar since finally the guitarist of the band, Jonny Buckland, was playing as good as they always thought he was going to play.

This!

he sounded pretty serious when saying that the album was going to be finished in 2 weeks and that the title would be revealed in 6 weeks.

Hala Madrid!!!

can't really believe that Chris gave the first real bit of news about LP5 during a Ryan Seacrest interview.... is this a joke or the end of the world as we know it?

where?

exactly. her dad must show her great bands like Elbow, Bon Iver and Arcade Fire.

Amazing lines from Chris. Haven't had a chance of watching Glasto but this upcoming weekend I'll do.

U2 promoted the poll via Twitter.

I never meant to cause you trouble, I never meant to cause you harm.
