WTF...? What I just noticed now is that Fun from Natalie Imbruglia has exactly the same line of Hurts Like Heaven changing heaven from hell.

I'm also in that group!

As I said in other thread, I think that one of the bonus tracks will be Ghost Stories. Or maybe a hidden track, in honour to its name! And like someone said, if there was only a rumour, the Oracle surely would have denied it, like when someone asked if Another's Arms was going to be a duet and the anwer was no.

I think that one of the bonus tracks will be Ghost Stories. Or maybe a hidden track, in honour to its name.

Now it reminded me of this:

Sorry, I haven't listened neither Always In My Head nor Another's Arms, so I didn't know the length of those songs. Anyways maybe the played a shorter version live, who knows.

Any of you think that some song could be just 3 minutes long or less? Considering the album has just 9 songs, I hope not... Unless the 3 bonus tracks are also new songs or if there are at least 1 or 2 hidden tracks.

I insist, we need a Chinese Sleep Chant in the new album, that type of song fits perfectly in Ghost Stories. And the lyrics could be something like this sung by Chris using an electronic voice phenomenon effect: Come to life Resurrect modified Come to life Resurrect magnified Come to life Resurrect justified Come to life Resurrect verified Come to life Resurrect Come to life Resurrect modified Come to life Resurrect magnified Come to life Resurrect justified Come to life Resurrect verified Come to life Resurrect Come to life Resurrect

As I've said, I don't want to hear the new songs until the album versions. It's just curious but at the same time absolutely normal how a lot of us can love or hate one things, just personal opinions. I remember how MX divided a lot of fans and now is happening exactly the same. And I also remember how some people loved Hurts Like Heaven in the live version and hated the album version, or the opposite with Charlie Brown If I remember well. And regarding so many bad comments I've seen about the lyrics, I have to say that I prefer a lot more some of the old lyrics, but this time they just seem to be more direct and that's all. I mean, I didn't like too much the lyrics of Magic and the lyrics of the other songs are 0k. To make a comparison, Chinese Sleep Chant also have "weak" lyrics but it's a fucking amazing song.

+1

Edit.

Nowadays there are inks of lots of colors, so it could be but it looks like it is more generic. I'm starting to consider Midnight as the color song, as a dark blue almost black color, at least until they confirm which ones are the 3 bonus tracks or if there are some hidden tracks.

Blue Dream, Celeste, Psyche in Silver Back to the topic of the missing color name song in Ghost Stories, I was curious and I got in the website of Mila Furstova, the designer of the album covers, and I found out those names that makes me thing that could have been inspiration for Coldplay to some song titles, especially for the famous color name song of each album. So... thinking about the whole theme of the album and considering that there will be 3 bonus tracks, could those ones be those songs? And not only one color name song, even three color name songs? Or maybe they could be included as hidden tracks. Take a look at these explanations: - Blue: Blue is the colour of the clear sky and the deep sea. On the optical spectrum, blue is located between violet and green. Surveys in the U.S. and Europe show that blue is the colour most commonly associated with harmony, faithfulness, and confidence. In U.S. and European public opinion polls it is overwhelmingly the most popular colour, chosen by almost half of both men and women as their favourite colour. It is also commonly associated with the sky, the sea, ice, cold, and sometimes with sadness. - Celeste: Heaven (Latin caelum; tangi of caelum ': be-touched-struck by lightning) is often defined as the space in which the stars move and visual effect seems to surround the Earth. In astronomy, sky blue field stands for: an imaginary dome on which the Sun, stars, planets and the moon are distributed. The celestial sphere is divided into regions called constellations. In mythology, among the Romans, the Latin name of the god Uranus and pre-Olympic deities. - Psyche: In psychology, the psyche /ˈsaɪki/ is the totality of the human mind, conscious, and unconscious. Psychology is the scientific or objective study of the psyche. The word has a long history of use in psychology and philosophy, dating back to ancient times, and has been one of the fundamental concepts for understanding human nature from a scientific point of view. The English word soul is sometimes used synonymously, especially in older texts. Don't you think that it all makes some sense?

Does that mean that the boys always do stupid things when they are travelling in some type of transport?

^ Sorry! At first I was writing other thing and I changed it in the last moment, that's why I failed.

This!

And maybe the dead character remains in this world for some reason. It is said that you become a ghost just if you have not finished something in this world when you were alive.

That would be very sad...

The death story is very interesting!

Exactly! I know what you mean, that intro... Well, and in fact it does what you say through all the song. So yeah, we need songs like that one!

Me too! I have the MX pop up and even the lithograph and the comics, so I also want something complementary to the Ghost Stories album!

Well, judging by the song titles it could be. I mean, it looks like they are titles that refers to something you can do for someone: Always in My Head (Think about someone all the time) Magic (Feel something magic/special for someone) Ink (Make a tattoo for someone, even with its name) True Love (Do I have to say something about this one? Show all you have, I think it's clear) Midnight (This would be like being with someone in a lovely moment of the day) Another's Arms (Cheat someone, being cheated) Oceans (Cross an ocean for someone) A Sky Full of Stars (More or less like Midnight again, being in a place with lovely views, or maybe something you would "buy" for that person) O (I don't know what to say about this one... Any guesses? I think that in fact this is a circle, so maybe being stuck in a relationship? Or lost... Maybe a hole? Or emptiness)

Mmm Guy producing... Does that mean more Apparatjik sound?

0k, not one of my favourite Coldplay songs but it has me addicted. It's sounding in my head all the time even not listening to it for a couple of days... The "Call it magic" the "And I don't, and I don't, and I don't...", it has an Up in Flames vibe, but the difference is that I didn't like UIF quite much and at least I like Magic.

0k, so we have already listened Midnight and Magic, which are good but are also very slow. I don't know what do you think, but I'm really starving of hearing something really fast and heavy from Ghost Stories. I mean, a song full of guitars and drums. What I want now is the storm after the calm, the Shiver or Yellow, the Politik, the Square One, the Chinese Sleep Chant or the Major Minus of Ghost Stories. Don't know which one of the titles could be that song.
