My new fav song

[c0ldplay420]

I am clearly in love with this song. I have had it on repeat since i heard it. So damn beautiful. David Rossi has new respect for me....I thought the strings in Strawberry Swing and Yes were amazing, but man just too beautiful!

"OH RAINY DAY COME ROUND!"

[glking]

got the lyrics down yet?

[c0ldplay420]

Im trying but certain parts where he sings low i get lost

And there was dream,
The sky wore a viel of gold and green,
At night it was the bright of the moon with me,
And time just floated

Then there was rain,
The sound foundation was crumbling
To the ground comes a bit of a tumbling,
And time was just floating,
And we can watch it and stay,
And we can listen

Oh rainy day come round,
Sometimes I just want it to slow down,
And we're seperating now,
And down,
And I love it when you come over to the house,
I love it when you come over to my house

Thats how i hear it

[Hyperfried]

As a cellist, I have insane appreciation for this song. Beautiful stuff.

[Eh Steve!]

Sounds great!
Not the best but a great song

[clisaj]

This song was the first song that played from rubbing the glass and it just blew me away and brought tears to my eyes.

[BostonSportsTD]

im definately most excited to hear this song.

[Tnspieler1012]

It's a further example of how much they've experimented and improved in recording the last album. I imagine they had numerous brainstorm sessions where they came up with random new ideas to fit into these songs like the bridge we heard on this preview.

[panicked]

This song was the first song that played from rubbing the glass and it just blew me and brought tears to my eyes.

Same here! Although I teared up cos I asked the glass a romantic question, and the riddle came up with 'son, don't ask' and then the first song was Rainy Day, haha. I took it as a bad omen. Either that, or I'll meet someone in the rainy season!!
It's a gorgeous song, though. They need to bring Rossi to the stage.

[Pseudonym]

I find it kind of Radiohead-ish

For some reason it reminds me of "Everything In Its Right Place":confused:

[c0ldplay420]

I know quite breathtaking

You and me both!

i honestly think this song became wat it was because of david rossi

Would love to see Rossi on stage with them!

I find it coldplayish lol only because even though this album is completely different from there "usual" sound...When you listen closely you can tell that its coldplay to the core!

[andrea25]

the first part of the preview it reminds me of "i'm a believer" by smash mouth...

[marie/pims]

This song was the first song that played from rubbing the glass and it just blew me away and brought tears to my eyes.

me too:smug:

[Navegador]

One of the best Coldplay songs, the best Coldplay riff.
OH RAINY DAY, COME ROUND!

[vivian3]

This song is cute :)

from 0:30 the music reminded me music from the sims 2 XD
am i the only one who think that way?

[iPsy]

Yep, I love it toooooooo! It is soooo good, I do love the bit 'Oh Rainy Day...Come Round!'.....BEAUTIFUL! :D

[Yellow Hill]

AMAZING SONG!!!

[clisaj]

I think this song has become my favorite Coldplay song of all time replacing I Ran Away, but I think I should still wait to hear the whole thing first before I officially decide.

[Dark K]

At first, it doesn't sound like that kind of song you'll hear from Coldplay, but when the cellos come, it's just priceless.

[mountainloafers]

Very, very different! I love this. Does it sound a little like Beck to you guys? Like something off of Modern Guilt but a little bit more cheary.

[Absolutely]

Man I love this song!!!

[c0ldplay420]

YES MY FELLOW RAINY DAY LOVERS! IT IS AWESOME!

cant wait to hear the full version

[The Escapist]

This song is bloody awesome. I can't wait till this EP. It reminds me of music you would hear in a movie for some reason. I don't know why but its definitely different.

[Carla]

It's an AWESOME song!!! LOVE IT!!!

[Stefan-C8]

Thumbs up!

[professa95]

i really dont think its up to par in comparison to the other songs ont the ep besides the jay z lost because that sucks

[viva la justin]

^ I disagree, from what I've heard, I'd say it's arguably the best track on the EP. How can people say it's a copy of VLV, just cause of the violin? Using that logic, just about every rock song ever written is a copy because they all have guitar/drums/lyrics etc.
I LOVE RAINY DAY :)

[c0ldplay420]

i really dont think its up to par in comparison to the other songs ont the ep besides the jay z lost because that sucks

not up to par? IN what way? I think its amazing with the change ups from verse to chorus to the amazing violectra to the sexxi guitar riff.....badasss song end of story!

[The Escapist]

it is a great song (or will be). It is definitely something different from them but I welcome it gladly.

[Jbella76]

I lOVE this song and can't wait to hear it all.

[Serenade of Sound]

This song is cute :)

from 0:30 the music reminded me music from the sims 2 XD
am i the only one who think that way?

Haha! I thought that too! That's hilarious.

I'm obsessed with this song. Repeating that thirty second clip over and over.

Hurry up November 25th!

[bertuzzi44]

I love the part where he goes

"I love it when you come on to my house"

[Montreal]

How can it be your new favorite song If you haven't heard it full?

:^)

[c0ldplay420]

How can it be your new favorite song If you haven't heard it full?

:^)

cuz the clip is just that amazing!:P

[viva la justin]

SOMETIMES I JUST WANT IT TO SLOOW DOWN :)

[Famous Old Painter]

Definately one of Coldplay's most experimental tracks.

The intro - wow, that took me by surprise. :o

Chris's vocals are kind hard to listen to, I wish they hadnt put all those effects on.

The aaaaaaaaahs at the end are amazing though.

[YellowBellyScientist]

Who thinks the verses sound a lot like a Beck song? I love the song, don't get me wrong. But I thought the verses sounded like Beck. Who agrees?

[Hermes_tri]

omg...I said early that PM is my favourity off the EP, but now i feel like Rainy Day!!... OMG...what a songg...so driving , alive, it explodes my head !!!!!!..."We are separated now , Im down" aaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhh

perfectt............so perfect!!! And when I first put it on, i was driving it was heeeavy rain ,,omg...........................

[c0ldplay420]

As stated before...this song rocks out with its cock out!

[yellowtalk]

Second verse lyrics?

[Lore]

this song is soooooo good :dance:

[melanieau]

:dance:

I love it when you come over to my house

:dance:

[Lore]

listening that song now.. I'd dance but there's a lot of people around me.. studying :lol: I'm at the library :P

[a-chan]

Rainy day was my favorite after the preview and the full version just confirmed it.

It's the most 'weird' song they have ever wrote but it's simply brilliant!! The intro is so bizarre but I just can't help to love it!!
the beat is just genious (Guy bass line is so groovy !!), the sound effects, Chris voice... This song make me SO HAPPY!! I just wanna dance :dance:!! I would give anything to hear it live!! Boys, if you read me, please, next time you come in France, play it!!!!

Then there was rain
The sky wore a veil of gold and green
At night it was the bright of the moon with me
Time is just floating away

:wacky:

[Strawberry Swinger]

hate to burst your bubble - but it's just my opinion - i fucking hate this song. this is so not coldplay... it's irritating to me. oh well.

[c0ldplay420]

oh cmon dont be like that..join in and dance with us holmes!

personally the song seems freakin creative to the core...very unlike coldplay but you can feel that it is still there song! ROCKSSS!

[LVI56]

I love this song. From the preview I didn't think much of it, but now hearing the full version its epic awesome. Very different, and it works great.

[Strawberry Swinger]

your post made me smile man :D

Who knows,maybe my mind changes. it's just too chaotic for me for now. but thanks anyway :)

[Lore]

maybe it's because it's different...

but as the other guy said

dance with us ! :dance:

[mountainloafers]

loving it!

[amsterdam528]

This song is fantastic. Outstanding. Maybe it will wear off after a few listens, but my that's my first impression. :D

[soufpawbandit28]

I love this song. From the preview I didn't think much of it, but now hearing the full version its epic awesome. Very different, and it works great.

same! but now its my favorite track!

[ricardo]

I found the experiments they were talking about!!! And heck, it turned out to be fantastic!!!
I can't say it's one of my favourite coldplays songs so soon, and the aaaaaaahs are epic!!!

[clisaj]

This is now my favorite song of all time, not just Coldplay song.

Chris' vocals, the strings, Jonny's riff throughout the song and especially at the end when it's isolated, is levitating, I'm weightless, gravity gone, feet off the ground. His best work in my opinion, yeah let's dance:dance:

[Yellow Hill]

IT'S SIMPLY AWESOME! :dance:

[FedEx]

Fav song off the EP.

[coldplay45]

WOW AMAZING SONG!!! this may be my new favorite upbeat coldplay song.

[c0ldplay420]

your post made me smile man :D

Who knows,maybe my mind changes. it's just too chaotic for me for now. but thanks anyway :)

i understand ur point but soon enough u shall come over to our side...the dark side:sneaky:

btw did i tell anyone how much this song rocks? :smug:

[Famous Old Painter]

If you dont like it straight away this song really strikes me as a grower. It's a challenging listen but I guess that's why I like it, it's a real step up for the band and pushing thier boundaries.

[ailene90]

As stated before...this song rocks out with its cock out!

LMAO :P

[The Escapist]

Does anyone else think it sounds weird where the second verse ends the chorus begins. It sounds very abrupt to me, like it was copy and pasted there. Tell me what you think

[a-chan]

I dunno.... I think it's on purpose..

But did you notice that, at the very beginning of the song (at 9 sec exactly), you can hear someone saying something very quickly (I *think* it's Guy...sounds scottish XD) but I can't understand what he's saying... I hear 'top flip flap' :laugh3: which means NOTHING so I'm wondering if you guys understand it???

[blue jammer]

More fodder, badly produced with effects that sound like a retard was let loose in the studio.

[dotty biscotti]

This song is...interesting. I happen to LOVE the chorus and the bass, but everything else just sounds all over the place, especially in the second verse :\

[The Escapist]

I can't imagine how they would do it live.

[FieryCoD]

Very, very different! I love this. Does it sound a little like Beck to you guys? Like something off of Modern Guilt but a little bit more cheary.

It sounds a little like something from The Information from Beck.

Still, this song gives me chills. Great introduction and the cello blows me away.

[CPRani]

I can't do anything but smile when I listen to this song! It so wonderful :D! Amzing job, once again!

[Hermes_tri]

so much've been said about the song... its in my top10, no, not even top 10, in top 5 !!...such a wonderful tune!! oh.... love second vesrse and chorus just :shocked2::dozey::lol::laugh3:

[teenage.revolution.x]

i think it has a very cute intro riff and an overall nice song. i love the very orchestral parts, very viva-like, definitely a high point to the song.

[garethxxgod]

Sorry if this has been brought up, but is this Chris Martin singing the whole way through the song? Cause I swear during the more spoken part of the song it sounds like Bono from U2.

[Rajan22]

I don't know why everyone is saying its so similar to Viva la Vida. Just the violins and thats it really. It's drawing for top spot on the album with LIT ii for me. What an absolute tune.

[Hermes_tri]

I know who else is singing:)

Emily Bart-Smith

[nick311]

I dunno.... I think it's on purpose..

I think it is saying:

"Then there was rain
And I spent the night with the Queen of Spain
My lonely little heart would've broke again
Times were vicious, say
Singing, deeper than the knife goes in before you win
You win but with less than when you begin
Deeper than the knife goes in
Ohhhhhhh"

[Pai]

This song is cute :)

from 0:30 the music reminded me music from the sims 2 XD
am i the only one who think that way?

:laugh3: I totally thought the exact same thing! I made my little sister listen to it, and we both agree that it sounds Sims 2-ish! It's cute!

[a-chan]

I think it is saying:

"Then there was rain
And I spent the night with the Queen of Spain
My lonely little heart would've broke again
Times were vicious, say
Singing, deeper than the knife goes in before you win
You win but with less than when you begin
Deeper than the knife goes in
Ohhhhhhh"
I don't know of you're joking or if you've misunderstood me...

I'm talking about the little mumbling just before the song beginns (at 0min9 sec). It's coming from someone in the background (maybe Guy 'cause of the accent) but I can't understand what he's mumbling... So is anyone who can?

[ice water.]

I could marry this song.. :p

[iPsy]

This song is a different Coldplay and I am sooo glad that they have made it!, I Think it would be very popular as a single! :D

[ice water.]

I think it would go well as a single, too.

[melanieau]

I could marry this song.. :p

:lol:


:embarassed:

me too!

[JM-SP2]

when I first heard this song I said WTF?! :laugh3: But now Im totally in love with it! it's so not Coldplay, at least old Coldplay, but so perfect! Can't wait to hear it played live!

[The Escapist]

Its just so different. Whats the go with the Queen of Spain bit?

[froglenn]

this is just a fun fun song, Coldplay's Mysterious Ways in more ways than one

[coldplay101]

love it!

[c0ldplay420]

Its just so different. Whats the go with the Queen of Spain bit?

Then there was rain,
I spent the night with the queen of Spain
My lonely little heart would've broke again
Times were vicious.
Say, singing "Deeper than the knife goes in, the more you win
You end up with less than when you begin.
Deeper than the knife goes in..."
Ohhh!



AS USUAL F"N BRILLIANT

[A Rush Of Technicolor]

It would have been perfect if they cut from the first several seconds of piano to around .20 and cut out those 15 or so seconds of funky sounding video game music.

[Hamsterdam]

Stormin song this one, on my list as #2...

[nvdmm]

Good news guys! after hours and hours of listening to this song non-stop on full volume and trying to extract the lyrics out without the music and inspecting it carefully, I have come up with the lyrics! Now It might not be exactly what Chris sings and so there could be bits that everybody is unsure about, but this version is probably the best anybody could come up with:P:



Rainy day


Then there was dream
The sky wore a veil of gold and green
At night it was the bright of the moon with me
Time was just floating

Then there was rain
The sound foundations are crumbling
To the ground comes a bit of a tumbling
And time was just floating
We can watch it and stay
And we can listen

Oh rainy day, come 'round
Sometimes i just want it to slow down
And we're separated now
And down
But i love when you come over to the house
I love it when you come over to my house


Then there was rain,
I spent the night with the queen of Spain
My lonely little heart would've broke again
Time’s so vicious
Say
"So then the deeper than the knife goes in, the more you win
You end up with less than when you begin.
Deeper than the knife goes in..."
Oohhh!

Oh rainy day, come 'round
Sometimes i just want it to slow down
And we're separated now
And down
But i love when you come over to the house
I love it when you come over to my house

ahahahahahahahahaaaaaa
ahahahahahahahahaaaaaa
ahahahahahahahahaaaaaa

But i love when you come over to the house
I love it when you come over to my house

[bertuzzi44]

I'm pretty sure its "I'm down" not "and down"

[tauiwi]

'Rainy Day' is a NICE song...

I have a thought, though, that it will definitely be included in the setlist when they tour Australia... This is how it'll go on the night. Chris will make a joke about the current drought in oz, and then say we should all join in in singing 'Rainy Day' in an attempt at a rain-dance-thingy.

It would go down well in my books.

[acoldplayer]

Can anyone tab the riff for me?

[Eh Steve!]

i love the second verse!

[Yellow Hill]

Awesome!

[Magnus]

Don't like it... sort of... dunno... childish :S

[EverybodyLies]

When i first heard it my TV's volume was being weird so it was really low even though it said it was on volume 50...anyway i was really close to the TV listening intently.....then BAM! the tv volume was loud and i SCREAMED so loud my mom came out of her bedroom with a bat thinking someone was trying to kill me. Once i heard it again on the right volume I LOVED it!

[Rusty_ru2]

The second chorus sounds great with the combination of stringed instruments and the guitar :nice:

[*CoLdPlaY.4.EveR*]

I loooooveeee this song!! :)

[clisaj]

Hey Rainy Day fans, go here...

[Eline_]

I also love this song. :D

[Macintosh]

Song of Coldplay, which I practically not listen. This strange rap... very often it seems to me a hymn of Teletubbies:)
