Oh well,Guy plays an instrument,dont know what its called but it sounds Japanese.

[BigFatNoises]

I hear the arcade fire influences

[Cris_Santos]

Since Ian decided we should not post the links to LIT video til it's officially unveiled in Coldplay.com I think we'd better wait to comment it too.

Funny, youd think "Lovers in Japan" would be the song with Japanese influence.


And come on, tell where I can see this video.

[RunForTheHills]

^ The video was taken down, even if I gave you the link it wouldn't work :wink:

[Lore]

^that sucks

[lostsides]

It sounds like Sigur Ros on ecstasy. I can't wait to hear the song on record.

[Uchiha_Shadow]

Yeah, I was thinking Sigur Ros and Arcade Fire as well. Especially Sigur Ros. Damn I love that band. And damn I love LiT

[UrbanBuckeye33]

I believe the instrument that Guy plays is called a hammered dulcimer. Very cool instrument that I have seen played live and it really takes some skill. Impressed with Guy on that!

[Uchiha_Shadow]

How awesome would it be if all the guys learned to play new instruments just for this album, and we're actually gonna get an orchestrated Viva La Vida version?

[thinker]

did I hear Sigur Rós & Arcade Fire??

An absolutely beautiful song, and a beautiful video to go along with it. It's one of those Coldplays that makes you feel happy just listening to it, and it doesn't try to be pretentious or high-minded... just a very simple repeating melody on an oddball asian strings instrument, mixed with some wicked bass and guitars by Chris and Guy... the best way I can describe it is "friendly sounding".

It's a short song, and the beginning opens with a pretty synth by Eno. For those of you who haven't heard it yet, don't let my comments get your expectations too high. It's not a swirling masterpiece, just something that'll put a smile on your face (especially when you see the great video). I can't wait to see this performed live!

It's not the album version, though. Our very own Coldplaying website (link (http://www.coldplaying.com/index.php?name=Sections&req=viewarticle&artid=773&page=1)) says it has lyrics: "Baby it's a violent world".

As much as I like the instrumental (probably my favourite VLC song so far, I love simple instrumentals) version, I'm pretty sure the album version will have lyrics. Hopefully it's longer, too. I don't want this album to be too short =/

[IneedYou23]

Im tryin to imagine them playing this when they first come out on stage and everyone going bananas!!
