Spanish Rain on LP5...

[Saketblitz]

If NME is to believed then Spanish Rain (also known as 'Don Quixote') is apparently appearing on LP5. They did put up this song on the so called "Preview of 2011" list.

The article says "Here's another track rumoured to appear on a 2011 album" so its not for sure. Personally I don't think they would include it on the new record, I'm pretty sure it just for the latin american tour only. Chris even said himself, the song was to "celebrate what the band thinks of the latin american audiences"

[Megalomania]

They didn't really say it would or wouldn't though, they just said "rumored". Don't believe rumors. :P

[The Doctor]

but a rumor means that there is a possibility for it :wacky:

[The Final Track]

Preview *cough* Rumor *cough*

[Raphaele]

I don't think Spanish Rain will be on LP5

a-HEM

I must be catching a cold ;)

this^^^maybe, maybe if they change it a bit (meaning- if they make it sound not so much as Bruce Springsteen's song) it could be a b-side.

[AnnaElisabeth]

I think b-side at the most for Spanish Rain!

[laga]

I'd love to hear a studio version of it, cause I liked it, but yeah, I think if they release it, it will be as a b-side.

[The Doctor]

^would be awesome still :cheesy:

Yes, but it would be disappointing. And I am willing to bet you it won't.

[Bonus_mosher]

I don't think it'll make the cut, for the same reasons that Wedding Bells didn't.
And I loved both of those. It's things like this which make me even more eager and optimistic for the new record.

Spanish Rain? Naah. Won't be on LP5. Just cheap 'fill this space with anything' journalism from NME. Where's the sense on putting a Latin American themed song on LP5 when LP4 was meant to have some Latin American themed songs on it?

And if I'm being honest - I don't want Spanish Rain or Wedding Bells on LP5. The first is a good song but maybe too similar to Dancing In The Dark? The second one is just shit!

[JackZ]

exactly, NME doesnt no anymore about it than we do

and the sadest thing is Spanish Rain/Don Quixote is not even Latin American themed :disappointed:

:p

[NumbersGirl]

you gotta keep in mind that when people write articles like that about Coldplay, just to sound like they know what they are talking about...

rumor = something that members on coldplaying.com are hoping for (because people who write those articles do lurk here, you know)

[2GreenEyes]

the great thing about those songs not being on LP5 is that it means that there are other songs we don't know yet that take it's place so in total we have more songs which is awesome

[Bluejay]

That's what I think too. Plus, if Wedding Bells didn't make it into LP5, then I don't see why Spanish Rain would. It was a concert song, for Latin America. It don't think it was ever meant to be on the album.

[alejolo]

Maybe a more studio ish type of song , without the oleole and all of that .

Would love them to do that. Maybe as a bonus track or somethin

[anacaren08]

I think spanish rain is too reminiscent of viva era to be in the new album.

Ha did I use the word reminiscent correctly?:P

And wedding bells.. well I hope its not on the album, because like others have said, it means there's other good songs that will take its place :D but as a b-sides?...yes please!

The lyrics on Wedding Bells went to Christmas Lights, like Spiderwebs went to Trouble.
Not really the same reason for Spanish Rain. Sucks tho, I really liked that song. But it is pretty viva-ish, I guess.

[HandyAndy136]

I would quite happily hear a studio version of this, but I think it's pretty unlikely that it'll be on the album. Perhaps a studio version will surface in years to come; after all, that South Bank Show whiteboard thing had Spanish Rain on there, so that probably means that it was worked on to a certain degree :)

I wouldn't hold my breath for it being on LP5, though.

[Sleep]

I fucking love that song.
I'd love it to be on LP5.

[footyfan10]

as some have said, i'd be interested in hearing a studio version but i don't really want it on the album. for one - i've already heard it. i want new stuff. and i feel whatever makes the album cut will be better than both these songs. even though i like them both.

[a-chan]

Don't we have a dozen thread like this one...

The article says "Here's another track rumoured to appear on a 2011 album" so its not for sure. Personally I don't think they would include it on the new record, I'm pretty sure it just for the latin american tour only. Chris even said himself, the song was to "celebrate what the band thinks of the latin american audiences"
+10000000000000000000000 He even add it was part of the Viva area so there were almost 0 chances for it to be on LP5.

[Mimixxx]

That^

Plus it can' be on LP5 as if it were they may find themselves being sued by Bruce Springsteen :P

[Nattatouille]

I don't reckon it will end up on LP5... A b-side maybe... But not an album track.

I do have to admit, I would love to hear a studio version of it (there probably is some sort of demo-ish floating about out there) but if I never do, it's okay.

[Pink]

I'd be shocked. And disappointed.

[Phoebeo]

I don't think Spanish Rain is going to be on LP5. And i would perfer a new song. :nice:

[r25d01]

Think it's a great song! Think it depends on if it fits to the album. Otherwise maybe an ep or b-side release. But this one's too good to not get an official release

[Chloe_Martin]

Spanish Rain well its a good song but the other songs like Princess of China or Sex Violence, does it really fit the album

[NumbersGirl]

That^

Plus it can' be on LP5 as if it were they may find themselves being sued by Bruce Springsteen :P
Indeed. I mean, when oodles of people say, "hey, it sounds like ---" while they are listening to it the first time during a live performance, there is no way it is going to be officially released.

Let me put it this way...

IF IT ENDS UP BEING RELEASED ON LP5 OR EVEN A B-SIDE, I'LL EAT MY HAT. AND YOU ALL CAN VOTE ON WHAT KIND OF HAT I SHOULD EAT.
