Life in Technicolor ii

[davebrown19]

I can't wait to hear this!!!

The current instrumental version is superb and a great concert opener...... but i am confident the new version will be even better!!!

This is the 3rd incarnation of the song..... the guys must really rate it.... so i have full faith that it will be superb!!

[busybeeburns]

quite agree :D

[kj91]

I totally agree. Life in Technicolor is such a lovely song :D It's going to be hard to stay patient for Prospekt's March.

[Viva La Parachutes]

theres 3 versions of life in technicolor? i mean i already know the viva la vida and the new one comming out. but wats the third one?

[Stefan-C8]

Well, The Escapist is also a simple version of LiT with lyrics.

[Jsalyers]

I love this song!!! Way excited to hear the new one:D

[Viva La Parachutes]

im so excited 4 the release of this song!!:lol:

the origional is the best even though its just instramental. its really catchy and vibrant and makes u wanna hum it all day long.

but this has ta be the one im mostly atisipating.:dance:

[Viva La Parachutes]

ME 2!!!!

[Fixed]

I wouldn't say The Escapist is a different version of LIT. LIT is the dulcimer riff that Guy plays in the video for it, the bit before that is Light Through The Veins (Jon Hopkins), which is also The Escapist.

I looooovee LIT... can't wait to hear it with lyrics!!! It'll probably be really uplifting with words, even though it already is without the words! And it's a great song to go running to, might I add, since the music just builds up and it has a great beat!:)

[CPRani]

I am really excited about this one!
LiT is ALWAYS the first song I listen to everyday! I just love it, although I can't imagine it with text, but it's going to be awesome, I just know it!

[Lost! @ Square One]

This is the track I'm most looking forward to hearing off Coldplay's upcoming EP. "Life in Technicolor," despite only being an instrumental, is absolutely terrific and E-P-I-C. I love listening to the track really loud, and it makes for a great concert opener indeed.

Yeah, you're right.

[majgirl]

I absolutely cant picture this song with lyrics now, it should very cool to hear it.

[BostonSportsTD]

yea i'm so excited for this song. remember when chris talked about it in that Q Radio interview? i just re-listened to it and first he says "it's really good." and then he plays the beginning of it and the lyrics are "there's a wild wind blowing down the corner of my street every night there the headlights are glowin'"? something like that.... anyway i can't wait to hear the rest.

[Christa42]

i wonder how long it will be?

[Open, Politik]

amazing!!!!!!!!1cant wait

[Malcolm-Edge]

Will LiT ii be the lyric version. Or an extension of LiT, i remember reading somewhere all we have is like up to the second verse. and that there is more to the song musically as well as lyrics.

[Tnspieler1012]

I've been trying to guess how the lyrics will fit in with the current instrumental. Obviously it's going to be longer, but I think the intro will be the same, the verse will start once the bass comes in and the outro bridge to the instrumental will be the chorus. the ooh-ooh-oh-oh is kinda of a giveway to that.
But afterwards the dulcimer will come back again, and another verse will start, followed by another chorus, and maybe we'll get a different outro or a bridge that we didn't know existed. Going by the rest of the album I'm guessing it will be around 3:45-4:00 min.

[A RUSH OF VIDA]

I just want it LONGER!!!!

[elena20]

Im soooooooooooo HAPPY!!!

[SimonRichards]

Love it! Can't wait to hear Prospkts version with lyrics.

[Viva la Vida~LiveLife]

They are going to have no breath when they finish proforming this song. It better be good.

[livethelife16]

Im gonna die when this comes out!!! Im sooooooo excited!! :D

[ricardo]

I can't wait until november would n't wanna change a thing!
I wonder what will be the lyrics, on the rs preview they said something about baby it's a violent world, but is n't the title and the music related to life and happiness?? :thinking:

[Malcolm-Edge]

I do hope this is a lyrical full version. They did promise a release one day for it.

I really hope they roll back through Vancouver so I can hear and appreciate them in a stadium setting. As fun as Pemberton was, I want an arena show.

[Ambercat]

Ooo, they're giving it some lyrics? Awesome!
It's already a great album opener, I can't wait to see what they do. :D

[RedGirl76]

I'm actually nervous about hearing it... I love the instrumental version so much, what if the lyrics don't meet my impossibly high expectations?

I've always thought it sounded really uplifting - but isn't the line "Baby, it's a violent world" from it?

[Christa42]

hmmm, you have a point, i listen to it first thing in the morning and i get so pumped up, nah, i can only be more awesomer.

[sunking]

I'm curious to see how this sounds.

[stirbad]

*spoilers*

Some of the lyrics to LiTII are below! They were done by ear; hopefully I didn't make any mistakes.









Time came a creepin'
Oh and time's a loaded gun
Every road is a ray of light
It goes oooooooonnnn
Time will leak and leech amongst it
Such a beautiful night
Oh love, don't let me go
Won't you take me where the street lights glow
I can hear rain coming
Like a serenade of sound
Now my feet won't touch the ground

[xxKels]

I`m really really loooovin it so far....

[telecaster]

well LT II , is AWESOME

i cant stop listening to it, really!

Oooh... I'm dying!!! I want to listen to it already! Argh!!!

[ASoulNotExhumed]

Here was my take on the LiT ii lyrics from the preview, my guess is that it's the second verse:

Time came a-creepin'
Oh and time's a loaded gun
Every road is a ray of light
It goes oooooooonnnn
Time will leak and lead you on
Still it's such a beautiful night

Chorus:
Oh love, don't let me go
Won't you take me where the street lights glow?
I can hear it coming
Like a serenade of sound
Now my feet won't touch the ground

[svennn]

well LT II , is AWESOME

i cant stop listening to it, really!


exactly, maybe better than 'yes!'
cant wait to listen to the whole LIT after getting a part with VLV in june noe a bit more, maybe they like us waiting :)

[professa95]

[livethelife16]

Okay I think that this song is my FAVORITE EVER now....Chris's voice on this one is the best that it has been in a long time!! ....AND THE LYRICS!!! oh god the lyrics!! AHHH....I cannot wait for the full release!

[livethelife16]

omg prewiew is amazing rainy day is bad though

Really? I liked all of them! I thought that they were all absaloutely incredible!! LIT ii puts them all to shame though! Like I seriously think that these songs might possibly be better than a lot of the ones off VLVODAAHF!

[Batmotor]
