^ Ever since they announced the tracklisting, I've had a gut feeling that U.F.O., A Hopeful Transmission, DLIBYH, and Up With The Birds are going to be the best songs on the album :wacky:

Wow, you guys have some long words in your language :P The longest English word I can think of is 'Sesquipedalophobia' :blank:

I just noticed that it says 'Telefoon' down at the bottom :awesome: That amuses me to no end :laugh4:

:lol: I love how people are gradually joining us in the thread :P

Every time I see this thread I think it says 'Mylo Xyloto [MEGALEAK added!] :blank:

:lol: Our internet is spazzing out because it's raining so I won't be taking part in this language search :P

That's Tom Yorke? :freak: I thought it was Dom Howard too, Taameen :lol:

I haven't either :thinking: But if that is what it means then I think it fits perfectly, sand was just an alternate suggestion :P Usually strand is used as a verb (and then usually in the past tense as 'stranded) or paired with another noun (strand of hair). I'm Alex, by the way :D

HAI FRAN! :hug: I like these lyrics, and I can definitely understand them in the context of overcoming your fears. And I love the imagery that the first verse brings to mind :wacky: But the last word in the first verse (strand) I have a hard time following . . . maybe change "strand" to "sand"?

*snicker*

^ :nod: I'm (hopefully) getting the pop-up version If the album leaks I won't listen to it, but I'll probably join in the Forum Madness anyway :sneaky:

Yep, it's pretty perfect as is (except for the lack of echoes, of course :rolleyes: ) Probably not, unfortunately. ETiaW has grown on me some, but it's still one of my least favorite from this era.

. . . :confused: :facepalm:

:escaping2: :curtain:

This. :blank: Whenever I'm feeling depressed I just go to Tumblr and fangirl about Coldplay and I feel so much better :awesome:

^ :lol: I did that yesterday

Thanks a bunch, Ian! lol, I didn't realize how tall of them were--except for Guy :P Poor Guy.

:stunned: That's a bit strange . . . that's exactly how I was going to describe it! :surprised:

One word: Echoes :nod: And for Teardrop: stripped down

^ :surprised: Cool, I think that really gives us a good chance of getting another version on the album, then. Thanks, Cleggy :hug: Although I really hope they don't add more layers of stuff :sick: An ambient intro/outro is fine, but no more synths crammed on top of what we already have.

All of the instrumentals should be official, but there are a few that differ from the album version for whatever reason. I know Yes does and I'm pretty sure there are a couple from Parachutes that are different also :)

:wink3: True dat.

:lol: @Howyousawtheworld - Agreed about Chris' singing. I think he sounds spectacular in Paradise :D

:wink3: Oh really . . .

So . . .
