I took this screencap from the redwire music site, incase anyone wants album artwork for the song. :)

Very nice. :)

[yoyo911]

i cant see why some people hate it so much...it is really very good song

[Miha]

please send me a link in pm please :rolleyes:

[RunForTheHills]

The faultline collaboration was a lot better than this, IMO. It was a genuinely good song even though it sounded different.

Not saying i don't think this is decent (I actually find it quite calming), but Chris' other collabs have been better.

[denishz]

im a huge fan, but this song really sucks :laugh3:

[xsarehardcorex]

If your going to illegally download it you might as well go buy some (RED) Tshirts to make up for it.

Maybe I will. I've already visited Starbucks today, so there's 5 cents towards this cause, add to that the cost of a shirt and the $5 I just gave to Oxfam and it buys my conscience for about a day :D

[roche714]

I have a question fore the people who have heard Lluna.Does Chris's voice sound sort of distorted and echoy.
I like the song but not sure about his part..

[Iusedtoruletheworld]

Actually I think that's great! It's kind of like Chris's voice in 'Yes', deep yet convincing, yet compelling and haunting.

I came to like Lhuna after a couple of listens, it's VERY different, and I'm glad this didn't appear on the EP or last LP. :P

[iDylan513]

Can someone send me the mp3 version of this song perhaps?
Thanks

[strawberryswinger]

im a huge fan, but this song really sucks :laugh3:


totally agree! this sounds confusing, other collaborations (like Homecoming) were quite better...
and it's even more dissapointing when chris has been announcing it for so many months, saying it was too good for an album, it was too sexy and all that stuff:confused:

and the song sounds nothing but coldplay:( maybe that's the reason why i dont like it... but anyway i'm sure it will sound better to me with some replays;)

see you!

[polkahard]

We have an awesome Killers song and U2 song to make up for the crap that is Lhuna, so everyone rejoice.

It's so nice to hear a new U2 song, thank God!

[a-chan]

Yep, it wouldn't have fit on the album but as a bonus track like this, it's perfect! I really like this track, sounds kinda a 'trip hop' song.. Haunting is really the word to describe it. Very original.

[Iusedtoruletheworld]

We have an awesome Killers song and U2 song to make up for the crap that is Lhuna, so everyone rejoice.

It's so nice to hear a new U2 song, thank God!

I've come to like Lhuna after a few replays, it's decent, it's listenable, lol guys. :p

[Lauve]

I knew her duet with Nick Cave some years back, and I expected something of the sort, so I am not disappointed. I think it's beautiful, even if not very Coldplayish. I love it. And Chris's low voice. yes.

[coldplay45]

I've come to like Lhuna after a few replays, it's decent, it's listenable, lol guys.

Ya after you hear it like 5 times it starts to grow on you:)

killers is...
u2 is more shity:)

[roche714]

I remember when VLV was coming out Chris was so nervous because he said he doesnt want people to judge upon listening only once.

[Fixed]

May I have a link too please?

[- DAN -]

The production on this song is fantastic; the vocals in particular are amazing.

[coldplay45]

killers is...
u2 is more shity

U2 is just depressing.

[Krystyna]

I like it! ... I don't remember being around here when the Faultline collaborations were released, but I'm guessing people hated those, too?

the style of lhuna reminds me a bit of the faultline collaberations as well, 'cept sexier. I really enjoy Lhuna, not sure why so many here hate it but I think more would like it if it was just Chris singing as with the faultline tracks. Thats just my guess though. I enjoy Coldplay producing songs in styles that don't stick to the "coldplay sound", shows that theyre not as formula as critics say they are.

[CMJBGBWC]

lhuna...:\
i can't really tell if i like it at this point, but i'm sure it'll grow on me:):P

^u2 is depressing:(

[ailene90]

People need to stop talking shit about this song!!...Yes ur all entitled to ur opinions but they worked hard on it and must really love it and us as their(Coldplay) fans should support them! Yes it different but IMO its a really great song.....I just think we shouldnt be talking smack about it....

Yup yup.

[In a telescope lens]

The first time I heard it, I thought it kinda sucked...but then I was like hmm I'm being too harsh. After I hear it a few times I'm sure I'm like it more. I was just expecting it be absolutely amazing because of all the hype and wait about it and Chris ravving about it, and the all the great reviews, so it's probably just the fact that I was expecting something bigger and better. It's already stuck in my head now! :) lol. I love Chris's low voice on here though, it's a nice change

[SueDeNimes]

Don't ask for pms here
PMS (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Premenstrual_syndrome) ? :lol:

[Krystyna]

Now the first time I heard it I thought Chris sounded ultra sexy. But after a few more listens I get a more..uh... 'spooky' vibe from his voice. Sorta creepy. Coupled with the lyrics I just sort of get a rapist vibe from it, lol. >.> Maybe haunting is a nicer word...I dont mind haunting songs though. but um, scary chris. I still like it though.

[Clark]

what the hell do u have to do to get a link to this mp3?
huh?

[iDylan513]

Is Lhuna available for mp3 yet?

[the_escapist]

cant believe the band believed this was good...

pretty bad in my humble opinion!

[- DAN -]

...we have an awesome Killers song and U2 song to make up for the crap that is Lhuna...

Both tracks from U2 and The Killers are very much the same as to what they usually do; they're playing it safe in my opinion. After thirty seconds you've heard it all before.

Lhuna is dark and incredibly sharp :) the production on this song is fantastic; the vocals in particular are amazing.

Edit: Also - the new Jay-Z track is awesome :)

[Iusedtoruletheworld]

what the hell do u have to do to get a link to this mp3?
huh?

sigh, no more PM's.

The *leak* is in Justin. :laugh3:

http://justintimberlakeforum.net/

Go to "Other Music" (and you'll see where I've linked it) :rolleyes:

PLEASE remember to buy something, a t-shirt from RED, something, or buy it when it comes out, to compensate.

[Carlaatje]

aaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

[masterkraig]

I like it, it's kinda spooky/sexy/mystical with a side of a suave club.

It kinda sounds like a Pink Floyd song though, and I'm not too fond of their droning sound.

Maybe it's just the "Hello" which sounds like "Is there anybody out there" could follow?

Their voices sound nice together, though I was picturing a collaboration to sound a bit more upbeat.


I'm still hoping for a Coldplay + Daft Punk collaboration in the future! =D lol

[notlost92]

Wow... I just heard it... I'm not sure what to say! I think I have to listen a few more times before I decide anything. All I can say right now is that the beat is really interesting, and Chris was definitely right when he called it "sexy"!

Can you imagine this on VLV or PM?! It would've been so weird...

[iDylan513]

...

[- DAN -]

iDylan513, I would remove that link now.

EDIT: Mods work fast in this place... hehehe...

[Iusedtoruletheworld]

Here it is ----

DUDE, the point of me posting it on Justin forum is so we don't get any links here. :dozey:

Please remove it NOW.

[iDylan513]

Sorry.

[Iusedtoruletheworld]

Sorry.

There's no problem, lol, I think the mods should put the [NO LINKS] in the title of the thread agian. ;)

Sucks the general consensus is negative around here about the song, it's decent imo.

[notlost92]

NO links!

[winigwl]

i was expecting more of this to be honest.

[Iusedtoruletheworld]

i was expecting more of this to be honest.

I agree, a little disappointed, but satisfied.

[coldplaycam33]

I really can't believe the utter stupidity of hating this track. First off, last time I checked Coldplay wasn't just Chris Martin. Second, Coldplay experimenting with new sounds and paces is a GOOD thing, people. Everyone needs to get over this obsession with the old Coldplay and understand they aren't going to keep making the same damn music all the time. If you want that, just listen to their first three albums. It's about time they start moving on and using new sounds.

As for the track itself, I think Kylie's vocals work beautifully. I love Chris's lower register, too. I don't know why he doesn't use it more, along with the effects they put on his vocals. Great stuff.

[iDylan513]

Does anyone have a larger album artwork picture?

[letdown]

i am astonished that so many people do not appreciate this song. i agree with chris and i'd think he knows what he's talking about when he praised this song. it is definitely too sexy for a coldplay record and better as a stand alone. listen to it on repeat for 20x (or more) and i think then you'll know how awesome and addictive this song is.

[JPB]

it is getting to me the more and more i listen to it. coldplay at its best is seductive, beguiling and completely slips in under your skin until you wonder how you lived your life without their latest song! :lol:

[notlost92]

Hmm, okay, here's what I think (for now). I like the beat and the tune, but personally, I really feel like there's too much Kylie, even if she sounds great. I love the parts when they sing together, and of course when Chris sings, so I wish there was more of that and less of just her. That's just my personal musical taste and personality though, in no way am I saying it's a bad song. I actually think it's really cool! It's growing on me, as long as I don't view it as a Coldplay song, per se.

And it's realllly Pink Floyd, Chris' parts anyway! I was like :stunned: when he started singing...

[atebe]

This is wonderful:D

[redsox88]

I love Coldplay experimenting...that is why I love VLV more than oolder albums and I love Chris in both low and high voice register. However I don´t particularly like the MELODY of Lhuna. As far as production, arrangements and the feeling of the song they are great. I just don´t think the melody is as good as Coldplay songs usually are.

[valypan]

Somebody put me out of my misery and tell me what Lhuna symbolizes???

[icecoldplay]

the song starts off like trash, but picks up nicely.

[Eh Steve!]

its ok, i like the vocals the band could be a bit better though

I actually like the melody, it's really interesting! I just don't think you can compare it to a melody like LIT2 or other Coldplay songs, you know?

[miss_g]

"wow" is definitely the word to describe this song lol...It took me another listen but I really like it...it's also pretty amazing to hear this side of Chris...he sounded creepy at first but it has a nice effect!

Anyway me likes!

You definitely got a point. The song is more about its haunting feeling and lyrics, rather than melody. It is rather more hypnotic than immediate and it is something I notice after several listenings....

Wow I really like it - a lot better than I thought it'd be after reading a lot of comments on here! If this is the direction they take for Album 5 then that'll be pretty cool.

eww i dont like this song at all chris's voice isnt haunting its just annoying

[marie/pims]

I like it :):):)

I like this very much, but the lyrics could be better!

I like this effect on Chris's voice, it sounds creepy and haunting, I LIKE CREEPY STUFF :wacky: :lol:

Yeah, I've had it on repeat for a little while now, and it's really growing on me... The chorus with both of them singing and the guitar coming in is really fantastic! I'm very impressed.

Oh no I got it, im waiting for it to dl... Cheers anyway

[notlost92]

I hope everyone still plans on buying this song, as it's for a good cause, and that's why Coldplay released it. :dozey:

What I think is great is that I like every Coldplay song from the Safety EP to this... No matter how much they change/experiment, it's still perfect for my taste in music!

[w1ll1am7]

YES

thanks! :D

OR, you could buy RED tees for $10 instead and still get the song, clearing your conscience. :p

[Timothy Q. Mouse]

I think I'll be going with the first option.

I was sent a link to the song.

And...


Wait a second. What the fuck!? Fucking hell, curveball much? This is brilliant :D

[ricardo]

I can't believe that is a coldplay song!

It's at the top of the list of videos. An old Greg Lake Christmas song. The Edge looks so sweet.

Curveball much?My thoughts exactly. I was expecting some fluffy pop song and WHAM, it's the darkest Coldplay song I've ever heard. Chilling. Do wish the lyrics were more inventive though.

[anniea89]

That was FUCKING AWESOME!!!!

So gorgeous. I loved it!!!

[icedude2010]

Im not a big fan of it to be honest. Kylie's voice to me isnt very enjoyable.

[ApproximatelyInfinite]

i don't think this is one of their finest efforts, at least after two listens. it might grow on me, but i just don't think this is going to be one of my more frequently played coldplay songs. it's too much kylie, not enough coldplay for me, and just generally uninspired.

[cpfan50]

Oh I really really like it! Excellent! :)

[ricardo]

it's too mehish for me.. I mean nothing special it's just ok
MEH

It took me like 10 listens to really start liking it... Although I definitely feel that there's too much Kylie, I've tried to look past that (which is saying something, for me :P ).

[A RUSH OF VIDA]

Ya it would have been really nice to have a little more Chris in there but still amazing tune!!

[Space Cadet]

Not sure what to make of it. Glad they're trying something different stylistically, but... meh. Maybe it will grow on me.

Chris should sing with girls more often, though. Very complimentary voices- just listen to the end of Rainy Day.

Sorry, it's just not that good.

3 for effort, though.

Im not a big fan of it to be honest. Kylie's voice to me isnt very enjoyable.

Agreeeed.

I like the music, but her voice ruins it for me. She could fit in with the music without sounding completely terrible, I understand her wanting the effect of discord, but she sacrifices the quality of the song. Chris is perfect in it, I think, but she...well...ick.

I can write about music like a dick too, maybe I should write for the Rolling Stone.

[Starlight]

I love Kylie, but she sounds so pitchy in this song!! Chris however....that voice is pure sex. :cool: Really, it's actually quite a sexy-sounding song. It's more a Kylie song than a Coldplay, but I think it sounds okay. :)

Same here, but it's up at the Red Msn page. I grabbed the link from the Coldplaying front page:

I need to listen more but I gotta go!

[Corkus]

This song actually sends a chill down my spine at parts, and those really aren't the types of songs that I can listen to repeatedly, even if they're really good. Regardless, I plan on giving my contribution when the time comes.

Now the question remains about whether Coldplay will continue to feed us this steady stream of new material (there's still a good 5 Viva leftovers), or if we're now finally in the dark and stuck there for quite some time, forced to drive past songs into our heads (or God forbid, discover another band), lest we starve.

[Famous Old Painter]

Dont like this one at all. Perhaps I'd like it more if it was all Coldplay but even so it wouldn't be a great Coldplay song.

[anniea89]

Oh, who gave it a 1? Seriously.

[The Mad Hatter]

I dunno. I will tell you that I was pretty close. You can see who it is if you click the number...

[Iusedtoruletheworld]

Oh, who gave it a 1? Seriously.

Famous Old Painter...*hides from gunshots*

[footyfan10]

Well I gave it a two. Basically music should not be on a scale in my opinion, you either like it alot, a little, neutral, not much or hate it with a passion.

im at not much so i put a two...

maybe 3 would have been more appropriate.

sorry folks, just not feeling this song in the least. i dont like kylie.

[ice water.]

It's odd.. it's different..
I didn't like it right off the bat. But it will probably grow on me. Songs usually do. :P

[yellowbug]

I think this song is some kind of beautiful. It's haunting and gloomy and Chris' voice is PERFECT. I love when he sings in that tone. I think this is the direction they should go in as a band (darker).

[Josh42]

If someone could pm me a link that would be lovely.

[Famous Old Painter]

Gah, If I'd known it was a public poll....

I'd actually give it around a 5 or a 6. Still not that great...

[Malcolm-Edge]

It was middle of the road for me. Seemed more like Kyle ft. Chris to me.

Truth is U2s song was way better! Its only getting me jacked up for their new album. Sorry Boys but Youre older brothers are coming home!

[StandardE]

Wow, for once Chris Martin is taking part in something that is authentically musically different and intriguing. Sure wish more of this type of experimenting was on Viva.

[valypan]

Guys before you pass judgement on the song, please please make sure you listen to it at least FIVE times. Yes I know it sounds dumb but that´s how it worked for me and some on the forum too. The first time I heard it I was like UH? I hate this. Second time pretty much the same. The third time I started noticing the haunting chorus. Fourth time the song started creeping under my skin. After the fifth listen, I can´t wait to listen to it again! My point is: this is a song that needs a few listen as it is a lot more about the ambience and haunting effects of the voices and lyrical theme than it is about the melody. So give it 5 chances and then you can say you hate it :)

U2´s song was a cover .According to the description it is a song by Greg Lake. It does not tell absolutely anything about the songs in their next album :)

[Blackjack612]

I thoroughly enjoyed the song. Chris was right in that one interview he did where me mentioned the song was "too sexy for the new album" or something like that. It's definitely different than the usual Coldplay stuff, and I love the new album, but I wish there'd been more stuff like this on the EP and album.

And is it me, or is his voice even lower in "Lhuna" than on "Yes"?

[valypan]

Mods: You might want to change the content of the news leading to this forum. Many people actually think they can download the track now, whereas it can only be streamed on MSN redwire so far...

+10000000000000 It's really an 'haunting' track that stucks in your head like a ghost. Love it!
Plus, Chris is experimenting again with his voice, the boys with the sounds, it's good to see them break the habit sometimes!

As for U2, I didn't find the song great. It's OK but not amazing...Very safe stuff. Plus, look at Adam, he just seats there with 3 notes to play XD My poor lad...!
But I can't wait for their new album...

Wow, for once Chris Martin is taking part in something that is authentically musically different and intriguing. Sure wish more of this type of experimenting was on Viva.
Not sure that the experimenting stuff would have fit on Viva... But on LP5...I hope they do more of that stuffs and also come back at some points to their 'parachutes roots'...

[valypan]

Not sure they ever really left the Parachute roots...they are well and alive in tracks like Prospekt´s March. They are just more layered with guitars, drums and bass parts instead of just being bare acoustic songs. I think Parachute was super but it was kind of a one man show with a lot of piano and little of everything else. I think now they function more like a band than they ever did...my two cents anyway

[pinkvanilla]

Dreamy. Love it.

True but what I meant it's now, like Guy said once, they're creating sounds for 'fiiling stadium' and not for 'themselves' like in Paruchutes. And this 'intimacy' feeling, like on Prospeckt's march should not be forgotten once in a while... :)

I think a lot of songs on both VLV and PM do not fill stadiums and they are very intimate in my opinion. Also the fact that they can take "big" tracks like Lovers in Japan and still give it a haunting deep feeling really shows how talented they are. Besides a lot of b-sides songs from the Parachute era were downright depressing to be honest..I am glad they cheered themselves up a bit :)

Did anyone notice the great guitar part just after Chris sings " I am all alone" and the song enters the chorus? Ahhh Johnny....

[The Mad Hatter]

Guys before you pass judgement on the song, please please make sure you listen to it at least FIVE times. Yes I know it sounds dumb but that´s how it worked for me and some on the forum too. The first time I heard it I was like UH? I hate this. Second time pretty much the same. The third time I started noticing the haunting chorus. Fourth time the song started creeping under my skin. After the fifth listen, I can´t wait to listen to it again! My point is: this is a song that needs a few listen as it is a lot more about the ambience and haunting effects of the voices and lyrical theme than it is about the melody. So give it 5 chances and then you can say you hate it :)


I'd rather not listen to a song I don't like five times. :dozey:

[valypan]

wow wow wow :D Chris Martin & Kylie Minogue :D love them!

I'd rather not listen to a song I don't like five times. :dozey:

I totally hear you! I did not want to listen to it again after the second time, but in all honesty it does take that many listens to get into the song so to speak. I am not saying it´s Coldplay´s best song or anything like that but it IS very haunting and beautiful in its own unique way and as the sound is SO different from what we are used to hear from Coldplay, it can take a while to pick up the nuances that make this song quite good. Do give it a few more tries ;)

[crazyduckette]

Like everyone says, not what I expected...but it's nice... not amazing, but nice. :)

[annabelle]

I think the song is great!

However, I'm only able to listen via the msn link. Is anyone else having trouble downloading it via redwire.com? The site just seems to be busy all the time.

^^ In all honesty, I think links should be allowed until the song becomes commercially available.

The site is not busy. It says " Coming Soon". The song will be downloaded to your redwire player once you are subscribed to the redwire monthly subscription. Read all the rules here:

I went from seriously disliking Lhuna to having real affection for it. Oh it'll never be one of my favourites but hey, its different, and that's not bad.

[bellynelly]

after listening to Lhuna, I now want to cut my wrists. I didn't hold much hope for it to be much good what with kylie being involved, but not so depressing I want to kill myself!!!

its not the worst coldplay song ever, but definatley in my top 5 most disliked.

[johnnymax865]

I'm wondering if coldplay will contribute to redwire with other new tracks in the next time..

[anniea89]

Well, Kylie fans think it's boring.

Does that mean it's somewhat even? :P

[Iusedtoruletheworld]

I can't understand it. How can this song be getting so much flack? It's far from amazing, but it's decent, I mean come on now, it's a simplistic different-sounding song from our boys. Experementing is good, it won't affect them because it's just a single for charity, not the centre of attention on LP5.

I understand it being an opinion, but people really have to look at this in perspective: they were nice enough to give us a song, another one, to satisfy a craving...now whether you like it or not is a different debate, but I still think it should be appreciated for what it is.
I hope that rambling made some sense. :lol:

[valypan]

After having an initial dislike for the song, I now can not stop listening to it at least twice a day, usually before going to sleep LOL Not because it makes me sleep, but because it is so dreamy, relaxing and haunting and the lyrics are just so mysterious and longing...If you listen to it with good headphones on , you can make out some nice nuances, especially from Johnny. For me it is a solid addition to the wealth of songs Coldplay gave us this year! Now I really want that REDWIRE thingy to start soon so I can download the song or at least subscribe to receive it sometime in the future...

It doesn't say "Coming Soon" for me. When I tried to subscribe, I had a message saying that the site was busy because of so much interest in it! I'm supposed to be getting an email from them though when the site is ready, so it's OK now.

I also subscribed on Nov 30 and got an email saying they would contact me when the service is up and running. Let´s hope that is gonna be soon and that Lhuna is the first weekly download :D

Yes I have it too. I would just like to have the legal version very soon :)

[w1ll1am7]

okay
i dont understand why people don't like this song.
if you think of it from a Coldplay perspective it is a great song
it is different
but yea, it shouldnt have been on VLV, and im glad it didnt get on
maybe as a hidden track at the end or something

but it is still good

[w1ll1am7]

Has anyone managed to get any redwires 'issues' from them yet. I registered, then got the email saying Thanks we'll be in touch on the 1st, but then nothing since, I dunno how to download the player and it's weds today so we should have the first issue by now surely :(

[shipoffools]

I really, really like this song. No, it doesn't sound like Coldplay, but it's still very good.

I took this screencap from the redwire music site, incase anyone wants album artwork for the song. :)
For the ones interested, I've created a cover for the Lhuna "single"

I just ripped the song from the site. I couldn't find a download link, maybe they won't email it out until the 10th of December?

I love the song, though. I've had it on repeat; I never seem to tire of it.

[miss_g]

After listening a few more times...does anyone else pick up that Kylie sometimes doesn't sing WITH Chris? i.e. she kinda continues on her own in the lines of the chorus...or I guess that's part of the whole "more Kylie in this song than Chris" because I definitely hear her over him at times :laugh3:.

Anywho just an observation. Still a good song! :P

The first download link will be sent out on December 10 apparently. Also the service is not available to all countries...since it is for charity, you would think they would make it available to ALL countries...go figure.

[Timothy Q. Mouse]

WHAT DO YOU MEAN IT'S NOT FUCKING AVAILABLE IN IRELAND.

:(

This is a fucking shambles. I am majorly pissed off. Hope they don't charge me until we get it.

Hah, fuck this then. I'm keeping my illegal download.

What the hell?

Apparently the people involved in redwire are not interested in the good cause as much as they should be otherwise they would accept payment from at least all of Europe, Australia,etc as well as US and Canada.

Thanks for the info Valypan.

Bloody hell what a shambles. I was prefectly willing to support this good cause, even tho I wasn't going to like most of the artists they'd signed up, but I really can't be arsed jumping thru hoops for it.

What a waste of time. And Bono's Irish, you'd think it'd be available in Ireland!! Crazy!

Yeah it does sound crazy. I got an email or message saying I would be notified when the service would be available to my country (Denmark) so I guess it is gonna come eventually maybe...like you I can´t be bothered anymore. I keep the version I´ve got.

And the version you got likely will be as good as the one they will provide. ;)

On the other side though, someone who can't legally buy the song could just contribute by buying a few tees from RED WIRE instead.

could work, and clear your conscience. :D

I would if I did not already gave a lot to charity ;) But I think they should get their act together and start selling the songs on iTunes for example. I would buy it in a giff, even if it costed a full 5 dollars.

[Aleluvscp]

This is quite an impressive song!! It's a very sexy tune.. that's the sexiest tone of voice I've heard coming from Chris :stunned:

even the lyrics :stunned:

HELP!! Not being online much I still haven't heard it. Is it still available? Thanks for any help you can offer!:D

Did a high quality version of this song ever surface, or just the rip from the Redwire video? I signed up for Redwire in 2008 and received a few issues, but I don't think I ever got this song.

Sorry for the zombie thread, but today being World Aids Day made me think of this song.

[ReecyBoy42]

I used to have a high-q version , but it corrupted. Which reminds me, that happened six months ago and I never got around to downloading it again :P Try here: http://www.coldplaying.com/forum/showthread.php?p=4571720#post4571720
