Coldplay tracks with alternate versions...

[mrman78]

Ok, so I was wondering if there are any other tracks than the ones below that have an alternate studio version (edit: not including acoustic and live versions!), whether it's different lyrics or different musical arrangement?

Brothers and Sisters (3 versions: demo, 'Brothers and Sisters' single, 'Trouble' single)
Don't Panic (2 versions: 'Parachutes', 'Blue Room EP')
Talk (2 versions: 'X&Y', alternate version with different lyrics + arrangement)
How You See The World (2 versions: Japanese 'X&Y', No.2)

well there is lost of course.

[Lyric]

There's way more than two versions of Talk. :lol:

[Prospekt.]

There's way more than two versions of Talk. :lol:

How dyou mean?

[ImLovingGuyBerryman]

There's way more than two versions of Talk. :lol:

you mean not counting like, techno versions? i think he's talking about official versions...

[Prospekt.]

I think he's just talking about studio versions. Like demos or released or whatever.

[Lyric]

Oh, right. I should have realized that the remixes weren't being counted.

[Prospekt.]

There's versions of "The World Turned Upside Down" with different lyrics, right?

really?! that's cool.
i also never knew that brothers and sisters or dont panic had alternate versions. i've never heard them.

Yeah, sorry I guess I should have been clearer, ha. I just meant studio versions... I edited my initial post...

I'm pretty sure I had a demo version of "Animals" on my iTunes before I heard the 'real' one just a few months ago, which had much more production.

Oh, and for blatantly obvious alternate versions? "Lost!" and "Lovers in Japan".

Mmm, I wonder if I have the demo or 'real' version then, ha. Yeah, I guess I left out 'Lost?', 'Lovers in Japan (acoustic)'... I consider 'Lovers in Japan (Osaka Sun Mix)' as a remix but is technically a different studio version, ha... The first two are studio acoustic though right?

[mrman78]

Any others?

No, that's just How You See The World from what I know. There is a song called "The World Turns Upside Down," but that's different from "The World Turned Upside Down."

[Black Dog]

There are a couple different versions of Don't Panic. As well as The Scientist.

Yeah, I have two versions of Animals, but my other one is live :thinking: but it sounds really different from the 'real' one and has different lyrics... is that what you have?

[Black Dog]

I know Animals has two versions at least. One begins with talking, is short, and is the lesser liked version. The more preferred version is close to 5 minutes long.

:thinking: Well I have what I assume is the official studio version that's 5:35, and a live version with different lyrics, but it's 5:26... Am I missing one?! *heads over to multimedia*

[Shaftell]

There's an alternate version of Spies as well.

3 versions of Brothers and Sisters too!

I know for a fact there's one that's like...3 something. I had it until I discovered it was subpar :)
