Yes!! I knew it reminded me of something else that wasn't Fly On. Wonderful song.

They didn't play any new songs, the stream was cancelled out of respect for what happened in Paris. Instead they did a short acoustic set which someone periscoped. A snippet of what is probably Birds was sung near the end of UATW.

And someone described the title track as U2-ish too! Coldplay will always sound a little U2-ish I think, which is good, especially if it's reminiscent of a golden era like The Joshua Tree.

Let's not assume it's the "same thing" yet :) Lyrically, yes, Fly On and "Birds" are similar from what we know. But musically they won't be alike, as Seacrest described the latter as uptempo. I don't see anything wrong with carrying a theme over, especially if it's something that appears to be meaningful to Chris.

I know, I guess Chris felt the need to revisit Fly On.

I'm hearing "So fly on silver bird Fly on to me I know that I could give the world Only you can set me free" After that he sings something different but I can't really make it out.

It's just a guess that it's Birds, could be anything from AHFOD OR it might not even be a Coldplay song.

Thanks! if you can, would you mind recording the whole show? I think you have 24 hrs to do so on Periscope.

Wow, Sparks for this first time since 2007, and it's sounding amazing. Great time to pull it out.

THEY COVERED IMAGINE? And played Sparks?! Wow, I need to see this ASAP. I tuned in at Til Kingdom Come.

They integrated it in Us Against the World

Lol, literally what I was about to say! This tends to be how American audiences are.

Fix You on piano now...

Sounded like something about "flying" and "birds". Also sounded amazing.

IS HE SINGING BIRDS?

Coldplay - Us Against the World (Live now from Periscope)

Someone screaming "no phones!"

THANK YOU

That's a pretty melancholy set of songs. Will be an emotional night for the band and whoever is there.

Yes, they were wrong but I still want Stephen to confirm that the stream will be working.
