Cheese Nip 2

It's not just you, I also think it's great too!:D The contrast created between the beat and the piano makes the song very original! It also sounds like a heart beat....

Glass of water was in the booklet but wasn't released until Prospekts March

^ I love the Viva tie ins in yours!:)

Oh...I love X&Y....I'm tempted to vote A Rush of Blood To The Head just to get revenge.....:P

When Chris did that Ole thing I really thought we would hear it!

I think one of the best things they've ever done was that inpromptu Us Against The World on Letterman. They might do something like that!

it's gonna be clocks, fix you and ETIAW but I hope they play DLIBYH, Up With The Birds, and Us against the world.:)

REX is written on the piano. We never did find out what that meant.....

I mentioned this before but it doesn't really sound "electronic" to me. I get a shoe gazing vibe, but whut eva:artist: On the subject of Viva La Vida as a concept album, I've always thought that too. I've also always though X&Y was a concept album too though, and I seem to be the only one in that boat!

I love how we all have completley different storys! It will be fun to listen to the album from some of the other perspectives posted here.:)

Well, at least with the breakup we'll get 2 oasis-like albums a year:) Still would love to see them live though!

I think we'll definitally get an EP. I literally have no doubts of that!:D

Car Kids should get it's own section where you can only post about Car Kids. Car Kids!

Here's what I've gotten from the story so far (I've only heard it a couple times though so this is subject to change). For all intensive purposes Mylo Xyloto will be the male protagonist's name. Mylo Xyloto MX/Hurts Like Heaven: Mylo Xyloto is a youth living in a society where the government has an overpowering presence over the people. Art is forbidden (except for propaganda) and Mylo has always felt like there was something more to life and has always felt drawn to music and painting. He deals with teen angst and a series of complex emotions. He doesn't have many friends and can't share his feeling with anyone. He has seen graffiti throughout the area (bridge in the park, factory sign) and it gets him thinking. One day he decides that he has had enough of being afraid of "the man" and decides to arm himself with a "spray can soul" and spray paint anti government arm all over town. Paradise: We are introduced to another character. She shares many of the same feelings as Mylo but while Mylo is a big activist for standing up to the Gestapo like soldiers and oppressive government, she is more interested in having a friend; someone she can rely on and share her feeling with. She feels alone, and while she is against the oppressive government, her number one goal is to be happy and find…well…paradise. Charlie Brown: We now get more background on Mylo. He is rebelling but still doesn’t seem happy. He has joined many other "rough" boys (the lost boys), but doesn't quite click with them. They have offered him drugs and a life of crime which sees to make them happy. Mylo is against these things though, and when they don't make him happy, he starts to rethink his priorities. This "rebellion" is not how he thought it would be. Many of the kids he is hanging out with just want to smoke and steal, but Mylo wants more. He starts thinking about the boys, the girls, all the madness in the world etc. He wants to glow, he wants to be special. He decides to lead his own innocent riot against the government. He then sets up a pirate radio station called Major Minus Media. His riot begins to gain traction. Us Against The World: Paradise girl decides to go to a secret meeting of Mylo's gang, the Car Kids (yes, I went there). They meet up and the two fall deeply in love. They have found the answers to all their problems in each other. They still feel like outcasts but now they know that there's another person like them, and Mylo tells her "It's just Us Against The World." M.M.I.X/ Every Teardrop Is A Waterfall: Mylo and Paradise girl's gang has really caught on now. They hold secret concerts over Major Minus Media and the finally feel happy for the first time they can remember. And all the kids they dance, all the kids all night, until Monday morning feels another life. So yeah. The do that. Major Minus: The villain. Major Minus is not necessarily a specific person but rather a presence similar to the eye of Sauron. He may or may not be a real person, as no one has ever met him. He works through the Gestapo like soldiers and you never know when he is watching you. Everyone's paranoid and after a couple of the kids have gone missing, many think Major Minus is on to them and their satirically named "Major Minus Media". Mylo starts to feel guilty. He doesn't know where those kids are and he feels like he's responsible. He also has a gut feeling Major Minus is toying with him. U.F.O: Mylo is trying to deal with his life which has become troublesome again. He finds sanctuary in Paradise girl. And hopes one day they can get past all to this to a place where the streets are paved with gold. Princess of China: Mylo and Paradise are starting to fight. The fear of being caught and trying to manage the car kids have pushed them apart. They've lost sight of what has made them really happy and are on the verge of a break up and… Up In Flames: …they break up. Mylo can't believe there love is truly gone forever. He hasn't seen her and has tried to contact her but he just can't find her. He knows in his heart there's nothing he can do. Like they say, you don't know what you have until it's gone. That's how Mylo feels, and it's not a good feeling. A Hopeful Transmission/ Don't Let It Break Your Heart: It has been a very long time since Mylo has seen Paradise girl, but he still loves her. It one final act of love, he runs in the middle of the night to the Major Minus Media radio tower. He doesn't care if he's seen, there's no fear in his mind. He has to reach her. He runs through the streets until he reaches the tower. When he gets there, he pulls out his guitar and prays Paradise is listening. He plays Don't Let It Break Your Heart for her. Up With The Birds: The Major Minus Media tower is surrounded by soldiers. Mylo has been wanted by them for a while now and they finally have their chance to get him. He saw this coming, if he can't have Paradise it doesn't matter to him, so he took the risk to try to reach her. As the first part of the song ends Mylo looks around to see that Paradise is also in the tower. Neither of them care now if there armor "rusts in the rain". There together and everything will work out as long as they have love. The End I know that's a lot and I took a lot of creative liberties, but that's my story for you! Hope you enjoy it!:D

I'm just going with a gut feeling, but I feel like those might be from "Tomorrow"..... ....Which of coarce was a pending title for Car Kids:laugh3:

X&Y Viva La Vida or Death And All His Friends A Rush of Blood To The Head Parachutes It's way to early to start ranking Mylo Xyloto for me, but the way it's going it will rank very very high:)

I like how the first part has those weird, dissorienting soungds in the background and it's kind of somber and then it picks up and becomes an "everything will be okay" type of song. Brilliant.

They said once that they needed and "angst" song for X&Y, and A Message became said song. I fell like UIF is the "angst" song of MX.

I like it alot. It has like a techno drum beat, but it's a sad song. It's 2 completely different types of music combined and it's awesome, beautiful and new.

B Side would be awesome! But since this isn't varified by the band and it's supposed to come out tommarrow I don't know if I trust it. Besides, if the album is already out, what would be the point of releaseing it as a download only single when it is already #15 on itunes. Well, I don't know anything about that sales stuff, but hopefully we get a physical release!:D

I always thought he should do a bond theme!

I agree with The Duke. Who cares what other people say, like what you want to like and don't let others decide for you!:smug: I actually get that kind of vibe from this album actually...Like a "live your life how you want" message.

I've heard it once and I already love it, and it's the kind of song that really grows on you too! Can't wait to hear it a second time! :P :heart: -Don't let it break me!

I thought it was him broadcasting over a radiotower to try to reach her, maybe even singing Don't Let It Break Your Heart or something. But I like to make my stories overdramatic so....

I don't know why everyone's so "of to many affects, bla bla". It sounds like shoe gazing to me, and the vocal effects are done very well. They remind me of Pink FLoyd or Tommarrow Never Knows. Overall it's probally one of the best songs on the album!:D
