Are Coldplay hinting at 42 for a single?

[Spies88]

not sure if anyone else has written this so i apologize in advanced if they have....but i can't help but notice the guys are playing 42 along with other singles such as clocks...and In My Place, very noticebale from the today show.

[ricardo]

I hope so

[Long Live Life]

Hope so, it would be what everbody doesn't expect them to do (i.e. release "Lost!" as their next single).

They'll wait and make it their 42nd single:rolleyes:

^ :stunned:

You mean when chris is 42 years old? :D

[Cobalt]

It isn't going to be - the album's little sticker that says "includes singles blah blah blah" said Violet Hill, Viva La Vida, Lost! and Lovers in Japan. You can hold out hope that it might be a country exclusive or something, like What If...

[rudy_o]

Try to eliminate song by song and you'll get the possible track that could be a single

I think Life In Technicolor will never be a single. So... :sneaky:

Life In Technicolor
Cemeteries In London
Lost!
42
Lovers In Japan
Reign Of Love
Yes
Chinese Sleep Chant
Strawberry Swing
Death And All His Friends
The Escapist

What's so great about a single anyway? Any new tracks could just be released on an EP or something, since we already have the album a single would be pretty pointless.

Singles are usually radio-friendly, eh?

I don't listen to the radio anyway. Plus it doesnt matter how many singles they have, "I Kissed A Girl" by Katy Perry will never be beaten in America:mean:

[rudy_o]

So do I.

I'm tired of listening to Mariah Carey and Usher on radio. :veryangry:

[Christa42]

I can't bear to listen to Mariah big head or usher what's his name:rolleyes:

[rudy_o]

I'm sure I'll kill someone if I hear their songs on the radio again!! :D

[Long Live Life]

Now that "42" has come up, does anyone know if "42" is a reference to "Hitch Hiker's Guide to The Galaxy" (the meaning of life)?

I remember once reading also that a lot of the imagery used in the X & Y 2005 tour was very reminiscent of Doctor Who's opening titles?

Who's the sci-fi fan in the band, Chris?
