I agree, Briggins. You speak the truth.

LOL. :cool:

Mhm. I believe it was for festivals only. But, I still like the song.

You are a scholar and a gentleman. Thank you. Oh my God! They played Life is For Living?! Glorious!

Can I claim "Princess of China"? :)

I like the music a lot, but cannot make out most any lyrics. Side-note: remember the video CP posted to their Ping page with Chris and Guy playing a xylophone? Could that possibly be used in Princess of China?

EVERY SONG THUS FAR IS BRILLIANT. Coldplay is back. :awesome:

Reminds me of Sgt. Pepper's for some reason. I like it!

I absolutely love this song.

Oh God. So beautiful.

Can I have, "I have my records on." from ETIAW. That, and: - Chris' acoustic guitar for the new festivals - Jonny's new, red jacket in the photoshoot

I second this.

LP5 is shaping to be fantastic, and we've only heard three songs.

^ That.

THIS.

Wat.

Intro?

Holy crap. Jonny really has come out of his cocoon. I'm beginning to believe LP5 will be quite rock-heavy, with Every Teardrop being the stand-alone song.

From the few things I can hear from Hurts Like Heaven, I am really liking it. Sounds better than ETIAW.

I suppose Jonny, as well as the rest of the band, was quite nervous. I know I would be.

Of course the new sound is something that creates a diversity in the fanbase, but I still really like it. The behind-the-scenes work in this song is quite good - the acoustic and electric guitars, primarily - and even though the lyrics aren't necessarily the best, the build-up makes up for it. 7.5/10

I don't think a lot of people realize that bands who stay with the same sound for their entire lifespan will eventually lose two things: interest by the fans and a sense of their musical talent. Evolution in music is a must have, and as fantastic as Coldplay has been with their previous releases, the band needs to continue on with another sound that will further develop who they are as a whole.

I believe this is the song Chris mentioned in an interview 'bout a song with two chords. (Can anyone direct me to that specific interview?) I believe it is Dsus2, like Dan said. Dsus2 and A.

It was a user here on Coldplaying. I meant to reply, but I don't have the slightest idea who it was or what thread it was in.

I remember reading a post about slower material on LP5, and just from their track record, I don't carry a doubt we'll have plenty of it. Coldplay won't let us down.
