Love it!

[Dan 6N]

From what I've heard from the short preview this is an absolutely beautiful song. So atmospheric, absolutely love it! :D

[ricardo]

yes it seems beautiful

[MasoKnight]

Yeah, the more I listen to it, the more I like it. I might prefer it to LiT ii actually.

The preview we got is from Poppy Fields.

That lyric is from Poppy Fields.

[clisaj]

Poppy Fields or Prospekts March, this song is just beautiful. I can't wait to hear the whole thing so I can cry.

[Tnspieler1012]

The sound of Chris's vocals blow me away in this preview. When I first listened to VLV I was kind of so-so about his singing, particluarly in tracks like cemeteries of london and lovers in Japan, but in Poppy Fields it sounds so amazingly rich and beautiful.

[Albie]

IT SOUNDS LIKE U2ish

IT REALLY DOES OMG

COLDPLAY ARE GETTING BETTER AND BETTER

[A RUSH OF VIDA]

I FUCKEN LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVE THIS SONG!!!!!!!!!!!!......I FELL LIKE CRYING WHEN I HEAR IT CAUSE ITS SOOOO GOOD!

[cephaus]

Is it only me, or does it sound like it could easily belong to the 'parachute-era' coldplay style? it's really really good

That lyric is from Poppy Fields.

The preview listed it as "Prospekt's March" clearly however :confused:

[Famous Old Painter]

It's a double track - Prospekt's March/Poppy Fields.

Poppy Fields sounds amazing however!

Cant wait for Prospekt's March! Both of them.

[Stefan-C8]

It does sound really nice :) *listens to it again*

[Eh Steve!]

this one is my least favorite

[*Becky*]

I can imagine that this song is the best cp song ever...
I really really love it!

[PianoRocker]

I don't think it's poppy fields.

I think it is Prospekt's March.
Reason:
On: http://wiki.coldplaying.com/index.php/Poppy_Fields there is a little lyrical line.
It is in the Viva La Vida booklet.
BUT in the booklet is Prospekt's March and PoppyFields behind eachother.
So probably they already knew it would be a double track, and so the lyrical line is for Prospekt's March.

Same as for Glass Of Water.
At the right image you see Glass Of Water, however they told us that they finished the song at 4 october.
But they already done it earlyer?

They had the plans already for those songs I think.

[moss]

god, when chris hits the word separate and separates the syllables then johnny's guitar, i just melt man

[dotty biscotti]

Easily my favorite of all the previews:)

[Hotplay007]

^ very much agreed. absolutely. famazing.

it's such a refreshing sound. it doesn't hurt my head to listen to, it's not too heavy, it's so relaxing and just right on a calm summer evening just as the sun goes down and the clouds turn pink in the sky... :dozey: maybe even spending some time with a lover of yours in a calm, wonderful summer evening such as that.

[winigwl]

by far the best of the previews. if glass of water was as good as it was live i would've said that. but its not. chris's voice sounds week. so this is my favorite. so excited!!!

[Famous Old Painter]

All the previews sound amazing but this one would have to be my fav... but only just.

[A RUSH OF VIDA]

MY FAVE TOO!

[Carla]

It sounds GREAT!!!

Can't wait to listen to the whole thing!!:anxious:

[The Escapist]

Its very soft and is a great song. This EP is going to be great.

[Marcoldplayer]

The same lyircs that The Goldrush or no?

http://img241.imageshack.us/img241/3332/tgpmlyricnq1.jpg

[Navegador]

I still think the preview is the Poppy Fields part of the track.
If so, The Goldrush = Prospekt's March (work in progress title).
I talks about Prospektors and talks about marching.

[Hermes_tri]

well as we know now, thanks to The Sun preview, Goldrush is not Prospekt March :)

[Cobalt]

The Sun preview? :surprised:

[Hermes_tri]

The Sun preview? :surprised:

yeah!

http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/showbiz/bizarre/article1915267.ece

The title track is woozily psychedelic with guitars gently chiming and strings sweeping.

Chris asks: “Don’t you wish your life could be as simple as fish swimming round in a barrel when you’ve got the gun?”

:cool:

[42!]

This sounds really good! Deff the best preview.

[Clocks In My Place]

I was so moved by that little part of the song I've heard. I had my magical, good old "Coldplay feeling"; a feeling only Coldplay's music can give me - kind of a euforic state. I had it the first times I heard Speed of Sound, which was the song that made me in love with Coldplay and with other songs too.

[kmm1482]

the song we hear on the preview IS poppyfields. I've heard the actual Prospekts March, it's chris and a guitar, the preview I heard him sing had:

'People talkin without speakin
tryin to take what they can get'
'I ask you if you remember
Prosekt how could I forget'

[Famous Old Painter]

You sure? Cause to me the two previews go together perfectly. They must be the same song and I think they're both Prospekt's March.

[ShaftX]

The length of the track is 3:05.. It must be just one song..

[MasoKnight]

The length of the track is 3:05.. It must be just one song..

It's 3:39, I thought. Still short for two tracks, though.

[Famous Old Painter]

I'd prefer one song to 2 tiiiiny songs (they've already upset me with that for Postcards) particularly seeing how epic the previews sound.

[Famous Old Painter]

This song breaks my heart.

It's too short! It feels like it's going to burst into the greatest most beautiful thing ever and then it just stops! :cry:

But it's still an amazing song. My pick of the EP.

By the way we know now that it's not a double track, so is Poppy Fields just an alternative name for Prospekts March? I dont think they've been on the same list as eachother unless mentioned as a double. Either that or Poppys got dropped at the last minute.

[Hermes_tri]

mm..dont think its too short, on a line "I dont wanna die here tonight" I am in ecstasy.

[everybodystilllovesandrew]

I think poppy fields may be that tiny part at the end.

Someone ask The Oracle

[A RUSH OF VIDA]

I think its one whole song!....

[Outrune]

yeah I guess Poppyfields is another teeny lil instrumental interlude thing just like Postcards

[smivs11]

The full song of this is a major disappointment

considering how utterly beautiful Prospekts March is, Poppyfields does not need to be there - at least give us an extended instrumental or something

my gripe about the whole album really, could have just dispersed these tracks as B-sides to singles - I've bought every Coldplay album so far but I wont be buying this EP

[Navegador]

Prospekt's March and Poppy Fields are the same song, just alternate names.

[Dan 6N]

Having heard the full version of the song I now love it even more! :D Just so peaceful and atmospheric! One of their best ever IMO.

[LVI56]

I love it, I hope they play it live...it has been on the setlist many times.
I think Poppy Fields in the instrumental part at the end, IMO.

[RunForTheHills]

I LOVE this song, probably my favourite acoustic guitar-flavoured song by them. Its so atmospheric and beautiful, and even slightly haunting - and that part at the end is just as essential as the rest of the song in my opinion. I just love it so much :D

Kinda reminds me of a calmer, more beautiful version of AROBTTH (the song), and it does sound a bit mid-70s era Pink Floyd, but that just makes all the more awesome for me :P
Oh how i wish they made more songs like this.

My thoughts exactly. Gives me goosebumps everytime :)

[Mimixxx]

Think this is my is my fave Coldplay song ever. It's perfect.

[bergstrommarn]

I hope and think that they will start playing this live with an extended outro, freaking out.. Many bands tends to skip the "heavy" parts on studio versions for some reason. A good example is "About Today" by The National, which on the EP (Cherry Tree) is quite mellow and not so "heavy" whereas the live version has an absolutely awesome heavy outro which last for like 5-6 minutes. Well, another example is GPASYF which has a lame outro on ARBTTH and a kick-ass one live (please, scrap the disco thing....:S)

So, a rock-the-hell-out-outro, and it's a great live song in my opinion

[jc90]

Def. moves to top 10 on all time list for me...

[shiver1231]

Probably my favorite song on the EP, it's definitely making its way up to the top of my list!:D

[Lyric]

I love this song sooooooooooo much. It's so damn beautiful. :bigcry: I love the softness and the acoustic, it makes me think of Parachutes and I've been really missing that sound recently. :heart: I really really love Chris's voice on it too. I think it might end up being my favorite song on the EP, although I feel like I need to wait before I really know. LiTii (and possibly also Now My Feet Won't Touch The Ground) is a tough competitor. Like many others, I feel like it should have been longer, but oh well really, what can you do...

[crawlinwithin]

anyone have lyrics?

[yellowbug]

I FUCKING LOVE THIS SONG.


Seriously, how beautiful is this song!!? It reminds me of "old" coldplay, ie. parachutes/arobtth.

Gahhhh it's gorgeous! :heart:

[Aprophet]

Is this the first we've seen them do it live? I haven't come across this before

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mxbkmPPKfpQ&feature=channel

[Mimixxx]

Yeah, I think they did it at another soundcheck party last week too, but they haven't done it in front of an audience yet.

If it sounds that good whilst Chris is sick and they're only practising I can't wait to hear it when they've got it down to perfection :D

[melanieau]

Geee..hmmm...where could we possibly, maybe hear them perform this??

oh yeah that's right..

LONDON BABY! :dance:

:D

[sticker14]

hahaha, it's really refreshing to see chris in normal clothes in that vid!

but anyway, what a wonderful song!

[RezZ.CuE]

Love it too! Awesome Song! Best song on EP

[scusi]

I love it and am just listening to it for the 15th time in a row! That chorus is soooooo beautiful, the bit where Chris goes high.

[blue jammer]

The best track on the EP by a mile, warm and lovingly crafted.

[dotty biscotti]

It might just be my favorite Coldplay song ever.

[Dan 6N]

Cool video, thanks!

[Mimixxx]

I can't get over how good this is! I can't stop listening to it.

It's just so beautiful.

[melanieau]

I can't get over how good this is! I can't stop listening to it.

It's just so beautiful.


But here I lieeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

On my own in a separate sky

And here I lieeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

On my own in a separate sky

I don't wannna dieeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

On my own here tonight

But here I lieeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

On my own in a separate sky

:dead:

[Mimixxx]

:nice:

Is just gorgeous. Should have been on the album.

[karen13v]

i loooooooooove this song. Even when i had just heard the preview I knew it would be one of my faves.

[Hermes_tri]

soooo touching...................

[clisaj]

Chills and tears, just love love love love love love love love love love love this song!

[echolot]

my god, the lyrics nearly killed me :dead:

It's just sooo beautiful.

don't you wish your life would be as simple
as fish swimming round in a barrel

:heart:

[Superbear]

It really sounds like a typical radio-hit. I don't really like those type of songs but Coldplay can make them good :D

[The Escapist]

Its very atmospheric and beautiful. Chris' voice sounds magical.

[frostbitepanda]

What I meant to say, that this song has successfully found it's way int my top 10 Coldplay songs, which is dominated by older songs. I love the ending with Poppyfields. I love the atmosphere, the lyrics, Chris' voice, Jonny's guitar work, everything. I can't wait until they play this live (Let's hope they do anyway). I think it's one of the best they've recorded in awhile.

[CPRani]

I think this is a typical Coldplay song, and my God I love it so much, it hurts!
The lyrics, the guitar, CHRIS' voice.

Once again, they did an amazing song, and an amazing EP I have to say.

[VERVE]

My new favourite Coldplay song!!!
So beautiful. :heart:

[JENNY34]

Is there a girl singing on this track with Chris?

[Dan 6N]

Is there a girl singing on this track with Chris?


Urm, I don't think so...

[BostonSportsTD]

this is ony of the only coldplay songs ever where i hear radiohead comparisons. but i frigging LOVE this song. the acousticness reminds me of parachutes but the background synths remind me of x&y. might be my favorite on the EP...

[JENNY34]

Ok Who sings the melody on this song, is it Will?
On the part "Here it comes, we're just two figures in a soup bowl".

[Cris_Santos]

I'm totally in love with this song :heart: Reminds me a lot of Parachutes era

[Hotplay007]

imo...


simply. the best song EVER created by man.

[coldplayGeorgia!]

The song is simply perfect for me.
i've never heard anything better than this song definitely the best song of Coldplay for me and one of the best songs ever i agree with hotplay007
