Great / epic song :D!?

[tom043]

I love this one :D reminds me of See you soon aah im in love with it .. Beautifull!!!

[Jony]

Yep... it sounds beautiful :)

[Furyan]

Sounds really promising. Reminds me of See You Soon as well!

[Corkus]

Can Coldplay please just fill the album with 10-12 songs like this? This song is so much better than everything else we've heard so far from this era (okay, I like "Charlie Brown" too) that it's ridiculous.

[kaisin]

I haven't felt like this about a song since 'Sparks', songs like this are the reason why i love Coldplay so much :)

[Furyan]

Haha, yeah, I would buy that album.

[ttm]

Amazing!

[RunForTheHills]

THIS SONG IS FUCKING AMAZING

Seriously words cannot describe.

Totally agree - this proves that they still have that Parachutes sensibility in them, I'd love a whole album like this. I'll be honest, I was pretty much ready to give up on them after ETIAW was released, but this song really changes things. Up there with their best in my opinion.

[JM-SP2]

wow, just wow. it's truly an amazing song this one

[Marcoldplayer]

Which of you can write the lyric? :rolleyes:

[l0wxo2]

This song is absolutely amazing!

[Loki0012]

Now im seeing some greatness cant wait or the album

Us Against The World
YouTube - ‪Coldplay- " Us Against the World " HQ Live @ Rock am Ring festival : Nürburgring, Germany‬‏

Oh morning come bursting, the clouds, they move.
Lift off this blindfold, let me see again.
And bring back the water that your ships will rid, in my heart, she left (alone/un-whole)
The tightrope that I'm walking, just sways and ties.
The devil, as he's talking, with those angel's eyes.
And I just wanna be there when the lightning strikes.
(And the Saints gone, what to do?)
And sing slow it down,
Through the chaos in the world,
It's us against the world.
Like a river to a raindrop,
I lost a friend.
My drunkenness isn't (beggin') in a lion's den.
And tonight I know it all has to begin again,
So whatever you do,
Don't let go.
And if we float away,
Fly up to the surface, and just start again.
Lift off with no trouble.
Just be (roses) in the rain
Just sing slow-ow-ow it down.
Oh slow-ow-ow-ow it down.
(instrumental)
Through the chaos in the world,
It's us against the world.
Through the chaos in the world,
It's us against the world.

[Marcoldplayer]

Thanks a lot!! :D

[MrsMartin333]

No worries! :nice: It's just a stab at it, I'm unsure about some parts of it... :uhoh:
He sang really low and close to the mic at the parts I'm unsure of, because it kind of mumbled it out in a way. :P

[valypan]

I'm probably alone here in saying that I really do not think the song is anything special. The melody is ridiculously simple and it reminds me of a bad version of Kingdom. I infinitely prefer the other new tracks and if they released a whole cd filled with songs like UATW, I seriously would consider not including it in my collection. By the way I do like see you soon but I think it's melodically superior to this. I hope you guys genuinely like the song and not just like it because it's slow, acoustic and it reminds you of what u deem to be Coldplay good old days....

[laga]

I love this one :D reminds me of See you soon aah im in love with it .. Beautifull!!!

I thought that as well! :cheesy: It's so beautiful, I trully love it! It's quiet and sweet but very powerful. Oh and Will here is just :wacky:

Well to be honest, previous to the VLV album they never actually wrote complex songs.
Sometimes a song just stands out because of simplicity.

[Verussia]

I think it is something like the old Coldplay. I really love it. And a very beautiful riff!

[valypan]

I personally think there were complex songs even before VLV. The melody of the new track just does not stand out to me at all. Maybe the studio version might, who knows.

I just hope people judge this track and the other new tracks solely on the basis of the music and not based on whether they are slow or up-tempo or whether they are more or less like Parachutes.

Well can you blame them (us :rolleyes:)? I'm okay with them progressing as mucisians, but I just don't like the huge change of atmosphere. They went from an introvert, mellow, dare I say 'tormented' sound, to the happiest, most colorful bunch you can imagine. So yeah. Hearing another introvert song really makes me happy.

[lovers.in.nj]

Can I please just marry this song? I am so ridiculously in love with it

[valypan]

No I can't really blame you for wanting the old introvert vibe back and you would probably still be having it, were it not for the fact that Coldplay are hell bent on evolution when it comes to music, so each album sounds different than it's predecessors. I also think that maybe they have outgrown their early years depressive phase and are now in a much happier place and that is reflected in the music. I for one love Parachutes and the old slow songs but honestly I'm not often inthe mood to hear them : guess I also grew out of that phase or im not sad as often as I used to be :) Guess sometimes it's just luck, whether we can follow our fav bands evolution or not.

[Steph589]

'This is a quiet song, so you can sleep if you want.' CM

Hahaha no way, that's sooo good! The acoustic and intimate stuff we were waiting for. And I think that if the new album included both tracks like this and VLV-like ones, it would be the perfect LP5.

[Phoebeo]

I love that song so much. I can't even decribe it with words.

It reminds me of a mix between 42 And A Rush of Blood To The Head.

[CupitorVeritatis]

This song brought back my hopes for LP5. Thank God.

[shesawsparks]

This song is just too beautiful for words, i keep watching the youtube videos of them performing it and it's almost brought me to tears. I just about lose it at this point:

And if we could float away
Fly up to the surface and just start again
And lift off before trouble just erodes us in the rain
Just erodes us in the rain
Just erodes us, just erodes us in the rain

This is Coldplay doing what they do best - making beautiful songs with timeless melodies that feel like they've been around forever. :wacky::heart:

[the_escapist]

I also think that this is an AMAZING song.

can't wait to hear the studio version with Will singing.

[GTskilled]

I think it´s a good song... but it´s a bit short and in my opinion there is no real highlight in it. I love songs like this from Coldplay but this is bit too "normal". Just my opinion. Maybe I won´t say that again after listening to the studio version... hope this will be very soon, though.

[camu93]

This song is AMAZING, I'm totally in love with it. I cried the first time I heard it, it's so beautiful.

Can't wait to hear the studio version!

[tom043]

I haven't felt like this about a song since 'Sparks', songs like this are the reason why i love Coldplay so much :)

not even with ... Now my feet won't touch the ground ? and Lost? and Prospect's March ?

[bearcat1229]

Great song. I find it amusing though that songs like this and Sparks are what gets Coldplay labeled as "dull rock" and "sleep music", so when they try to change that image now they are suppose to go back to what they were ridiculed for?

Eh...guess ya can't win either way...

[pommeline]

Those young men may seem boring, but I bet they are never bored (and that's what matters after all is said and done).

I love this song! Can't wait for the album so that I can put this on repeat!

[Loki0012]

I gotta admit this is my least favorite of the new songs... dont know why

[Message]

It started being awesome after Will kicked in. If he didn't, this wouldn't be nearly as good.

[ARushOfLove]

The last part, where it's just Chris singing again, almost makes me cry.

THIS SONG IS SO BEAUTIFUL :dizzy:

[TraceOddity]

Those young men may seem boring, but I bet they are never bored (and that's what matters after all is said and done).

I love this song! Can't wait for the album so that I can put this on repeat!

I think this will be LP5's Shiver, COL or Amsterdam. All of which I couldn't stop listening too when they first came out.

Def. my favorite of the new songs.

[EmmaLouiseSmyth]

I can't see the title of this song without thinking of the song of the same title by Westlife D:
Then that song gets stuck in my head and I can't listen to Coldplay's one properly.


Thanks westlife for ruining this song for me -___-

[paulcain92]

All I can say is - What a tune!

Reminds of Til Kingdom Come a wee bit when Will kicks in, which can only be a good thing. :)

[SwallowedInSea]

Restored my faith after the disaster of ETIAW :P

[- DAN -]

Restored my faith after the disaster of ETIAW :P

my thoughts exactly.

after hearing all of the new songs from the rock am ring gig, i can't see how etiaw will fit on the new album.

i hope it doesn't make the cut.

[paulcain92]

i can't see how etiaw will fit on the new album.

I actually totally agree with this! It just doesn't seem to fit, it will be interesting to see if any other news songs are played during the festival season.

[Batmotor]

i hope this song will sound not this acoutic on the album.Then it will be even more epic.

[ColdplayingfromKansas]

^ Personally, I hope they swap out their guitars for a piano :wacky:

[S.@.m.]

I didnt like it when I first heared it last Friday but there is always the chance that a song can grow on you after a while!!! So UATW did already.. :lipsrsealed2:

[Batmotor]

Restored my faith after the disaster of ETIAW :P

lol yeah ETIAW is a disaster indeed,wow still hope they dont put it on LP5:angry:

[A Famous Old Painter]

I'm sure that Will's vocals will feature more prominently on the studio recording than in the live performances... well I hope so anyway!

[Corkus]

I hope Will's vocals make it into the studio version. Yes, they did that with The Goldrush, but that was a B-side and there was some sloppiness to it. But Will sounds far better suited here.

[valypan]

Through chaos as it swirls, it´s us against the world....

Forget any comment I have made before. This song is wonderful: I am just a johnny-come-lately to this realization! That said, I LOVE all the other new songs, including ETIAW and they just get better and better with each listen!

[HKG-CPLover]

This song is the best single among those released in the Festival, in my opinion.
But still I think they could make something better than this.. :D
Hope there are more brilliant songs like this type in the coming LP5 !

[Juanma]

^ Good one!!

[The Champion]

Fuck. He really did an amazing job. No one can replace Coldplay because they're the best in the world but he was closer than anyone else before.

[FixYouFixesMe]

It's always been hard for me to just immediately love or like a song on first listen; it is hard to pick up all the lyrics (especially with a live version), along with absorbing the music, it just takes a few listens to truly understand or know a song.

I say that to say this.

This song is so amazing that on first listen it actually brought a few tears to my eyes much like other songs do on occasion that I needed a dozen or so listens before they truly affected me like this one did immediately.

I suppose every one has a song with lyrics that are more relevant to them than others, but for me and my wife, these lyrics couldn't be more relevant and touching.

There is probably no way I could make my own personal Top 10 Coldplay songs, but if I did, I'd have trouble leaving this one out of it.

[Twisted mind]

[ColdplayingfromKansas]

Couldn't agree more!

[yoyo911]

I love this song sooooooooo much, reminds me of so many happy and sad memories.

[The Champion]

^ The same.
And I love the lyrics so much. They're all beautiful but the parts:
"Like a river to a raindrop, I lost a friend"
and
"And if we could float away, fly up to the surface and just start again.
Lift off before troubles just erodes us in the rain"
are so sad yet so powerful that it's really touching.

[MosesTheMarshmallow]

UATW - definitely my favourite new song. It's just so amazingly beautiful, it calls back See You Soon and Till Kingdom Come (if only because of Will on the keyboard).

I'm curious to see what they might do with it in terms of instrumentation because this song could definitely be very cool if it was just a tad louder, esp in the piano department. But as is it's perfect.

[Strawberry Swinger]

I just hope this will be the album closer - it is perfectly beautiful. I gotta admit , it brings tears to my eyes - damn you Will Champion, you and your angelic backing vocals!

[mayraloveschris]

reminds me of Parachutes... hope there's a few songs like this one

[Coldplay3277]

Through chaos as it swirls, it´s us against the world....

including ETIAW? :inquisitive: i guess "Friday" gets better which each listen -.-

[valypan]

including ETIAW? :inquisitive: i guess "Friday" gets better which each listen -.-

I like both Every tear and us against the world. I know
It's a rarity in this thread, but there it is :) looking forward to all new songs!

[DundahMifflin]

including ETIAW? :inquisitive: i guess "Friday" gets better which each listen -.-

That joke was old from the get-go.

[Jurri1]

This was great at Pinkpop :D

[macky]

Probably my favorite song from this era so far. I like how Chris says at the beginning "This is a slow song, you can sleep if you want"
"What SLEEPING during a Coldplay show. Are you fucking insane?" That's what I said.

This song alone is worth the 10$ for the album.

[macky]

I also love how different this song and ETIAW are so different. It makes me look forward to hear different sounds, layers and textures on LP5.

[Fix42YellowClocks]

I'm sure that Will's vocals will feature more prominently on the studio recording than in the live performances... well I hope so anyway!

Yesyesyesyes to this!

Will is a fantastic singer and I'm quite surprised he hasn't had any prominent role in singing besides Death Will Never Conquer. Which he is absolutely amazing on!!

[The Champion]

Yesyesyesyes to this!

Will is a fantastic singer and I'm quite surprised he hasn't had any prominent role in singing besides Death Will Never Conquer. Which he is absolutely amazing on!!

Exactly that. I love you.
Will is EPIC and LOVELY and FUCKING AMAZING.
Ya, that's all.

[Fix42YellowClocks]

Exactly that. I love you.
Will is EPIC and LOVELY and FUCKING AMAZING.
Ya, that's all.

Back at you man!! Completely! He is a BEAST and DOMINATES those drums. :] But not even just that he knows so many more instruments he is so freakin talented it's crazy! Incredible voice. Incredible musician. Try beating that. Oh, right. Not possibleeee!

[tesseract]

This song belongs to LP5. Pure CP without any electronic stuff, just voices and instruments....

[jenshack24]

i'm so much more optimistic about this album than i was about VLVADAAHF man...the stuff we're hearing now, with the release of "Moving to Mars" this morning, and this song, and Charlie Brown...can it be October now plz?

[BerrymanGirl1]

This song is all parachutesy gah I love this song! And Will's singing is like the cherry on top :mellow:

[TraceOddity]

Hahaha, Steve Lamaq acting surprised that Chris has a potty-mouth. LMAO at the Glasto rendition of this song! :)

[Connor!42!]

This is such an amazing song. It reminds me a bit of See You Soon (live version) :)

here's a video from glastonbury. You'll see that it's not a perfect version at 2:12... but chris' reaction is so good

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jG235xDa3Qk&feature=related


definitely one of my favourites

I thought his reaction was extremely professional and perfect. It made me so mad because I was at a friend's house and this guy was sitting at the table behind me and he said "Wow, he doesn't even know the words. I hate it when I'm so good that I can't remember my own lyrics." and he said real snarky too. I ripped that kid to shreds. I loved it.

[yeahhright]

I'm pretty much in love with this one. Pleasantly surprised as I hadn't listened to any of the new stuff besides ETIAW until watching the Glastonbury performance. Good job, boys.

[Pai]

Awww the performance of this song at Glasto was so cute. Will said 'river to a rainbow' instead of 'river to a raindrop', and the two of them wanted to crack up so bad... Which is why I love Chris' reaction. He says he messed the song up when it was Will who got the lyrics wrong, and Will turned so red! :P

I wonder why Will was even thinking of rainbows... Perhaps he had been staring at that LGBT rainbow flag all night? :P

[The Champion]

Lol I would never hear that he sang 'rainbow'. Yeah Chris behaved really well saying that he fucked up, and Will was like "I fucked up".
But it gave us like 30 second more to enjoy this beautiful song : D
Will rocks.

[MosesTheMarshmallow]

I could've sworn he said "rainbook." But RAINBOW MAKES SO MUCH MORE SENSE.

Maybe he was thinking about the legalization of gay marriage in New York state! :)

Great performance though. This song is just. <3

[The Champion]

Who knows.
But this song would be nothing whithout Him.

[MosesTheMarshmallow]

Of course, I meant nothing bad about Him, just thought it was funny.

Fun story: I'm trying to get the girl I like to cover UATW with me in the role of Will. :lol:

[Abracadabra]

Like the song, especially the lyrics, and was so surprised at how Will can sound sublime! Almost like a woman. But great song nevertheless.

My drunkenness isn't (beggin') in a lion's den.
And tonight I know it all has to begin again,
.

Ha its "My drunken head's a Daniel in a lion's den" does no one know their bible stories?!
I personally haven't heard a Coldplay song ever that I haven't loved. I love Parachutes, I love A Rush of Blood, I love X & Y, I love Viva, and so far I love everything i've heard (Including ETIAW) from LP5

[ShotsIntheSky]

Chris and Will make an amazing duo when it comes to singing!!! This song is amazing!!!!!

[Chechoouu]

I listened yesterday in the main square festival and i really love it, now i confirm that i love this song!

[The Champion]

Of course, I meant nothing bad about Him, just thought it was funny.

Fun story: I'm trying to get the girl I like to cover UATW with me in the role of Will. :lol:

Heh. I can't do that actually. My voice is more between low and medium. But for few days I'm trying to convince my guitarist/long-time-friend to perform it with me. Of course he would sing the Will part. But yeah like you I would be more happy to do that if the one I like.

Like the song, especially the lyrics, and was so surprised at how Will can sound sublime! Almost like a woman. But great song nevertheless.

Well it's not even his best. Listen to LRLRL's version of The Hardest Part. Well that's very high.

UATW @ the Heineken Open'er Festival kicked ass so much :heart:

[Major_Love]

Sorry guys but I have to tell you a long story about my experience:

Last night I was in such a romantic mood that I decided to hear Us against the World right after The Scientist (Live at Glastonbury) to end my day. I didn't hear Us against the World because I wanted to safe some songs for October... but as I said, yesterday I wanted to hear the song. So, back to last night. While I lied in my bed, every light was out, just me and my bed and my mp3-player. I selected the Live @ Oxegen ordner and pushed the play button of Us against the world.

After the second line I was sure that this song will be great and it created such a warm feeling inside, can't describe it, but I simply was happy, because this was a proof that there is another new song which I will really love. Then the songs goes on, the little refrain "Through chaos..................................... its us against the world......" blow me away. Then this little pause and Will comes in...just wonderful. At this point I noticed that I get teary-eyed... Will have such a lovely voice and in combination with Chris its amazing! Then this great part "And If we could float away, fly up to the surface and just start again" and I have to say: at this point I cried and cried and cried... the tears just came streaming down my face. :cry:
Also when Guy follows them - his bass is so breathtaking and I love that little instrumental part so much...and the tears came down my face again... and then: this lovely ending of the song.... oh my god, maybe you can't believe it (I still can't believe it) but I had to cry 15 minutes long after the first listening to Us against the world!

Really, I don't know why. The song is simply mind-blowing! In fact, I cried also because I was so overwhelmed by the beauty of the new song and this made me really happy but on the other side this song is so deeply emtional and it deeply touched my soul in a very special way.

From this point, for me this song is better and more emotional than The Scientist (which I love without reserve) and I swear you: If Us against the world is just a B-Side or not on the LP I will find a way to make Coldplay cry. I swear it! I want Us against the World as a single, it would be interesting how the audience react on this song but I hope it will be a constant in the setlists of Coldplay!

Now I finish my little story, it was a very emotional night for me. ;)

Sorry for all my grammar mistakes. :P

EDIT: I forget to mention that UatW is another great song of the new songes which prooves that LP5 is going to be perfect. I'm really sure that this song will be one of Coldplays best and biggest numbers.

Good Point, but i cant really cry when hearing a Song although i fricking live Music.
The First time i nearly cried was in Return of the Champions "Bohemian Rhapsody" when Freddy takes his Bow and Smiles at the Big Screen in the Background while the Audience sings "nothing really matters to me", Long story short..

Your right the Song is amazing but as good as "The Scientist"?
Cant really tell because i love "The Scientist" with the great Pianosounds but hey...
thats my Opinion

[The Champion]

Of course it's as good as The Scientist.
And I had a similiar situation to the friend above.
When I was at their concert, well The Scientist gave me a lot of shivers. I was really happy to hear it live and so on. But when they started Us Against The World - the song for which I waited so much - I just cried the whole song and almost missed it. And when I saw Will I couldn't really control my emotions anymore o.O That was fabulous.

[Major_Love]

Your right the Song is amazing but as good as "The Scientist"?
Cant really tell because i love "The Scientist" with the great Pianosounds but hey...
thats my Opinion

Yeah, I really accept your opinion, the taste is different, but for me the Scientist is more predictable and more simple in the whole arrangement. The Lyrics are a way better, I rarely see better Lyrics then in Us against the world. Don't get me wrong. The Scientist is a great great song, I will never say something against it, but for me, Us against the world touched my soul a bit stronger.

@The Champion

Nice to see that I'm not emotional "disabled" ;) - and that there are some other guys who think the same way.

[tamunia]

Actually, one can't really judge objectively which song is better .. listening to the song is such an emotional process. different songs touch the soul of an individual in different way and the songs become very personal and "private", so that's so hard to argue about it .. what "UAtW" is for you, "MTM" is the same for me ... when i first listened to it, i didn't really let the song to finish, i just re-played it again and again after every 1min and 70 seconds .. i guess i listened just the beginning of the song dozens of time .. it sounded so beautiful to me i just couldn't stop and get tired of it .. I could really feel my heart beating to that song .. then i become curious what was coming after that piano intro and played the whole song finally, lol :

Thats exactly what I said. I don't want to say: Hey guys, listen to me: UATW is better than The Scientist. I just said that UATW is for me the better song because it touched my soul a bit deeper than The Scientist (which is a great song and touches my soul every time again).

I absolutely love this song. It's beautiful. The verse with "And if we could float away..." is what really won it completely over for me. Plus, Chris + Will singing = fantastic. (:

[MyFavouriteMemory]

This song is brilliant. Classic Coldplay.

[Abracadabra]

I can't make up my mind about UATW. For one, I really like the melody, the flow of it, and Will's subtle voice at 'and if we could float away' melts me,for sure. Then again, I find the lyrics rather puzzling and unclear, I mean, there are beautiful lines as always but they don't seem cohesive enough, not to me.

[Twisted__Logic]

I love the song but... I don't think its a live song. I hope the guys change it and make it better for the album.

[Prospector]

It's good but for me it's the weakest we've heard from this era.

[Major_Love]

For me its simply beautiful and I wouldn't compare it to the others because UATW is too different from them.

[poeincompany]

to me UATW sounds stylistically like NMFWTG and Til Kingdom Come, but that being said, it is by far better than those two. UATW seems more organic with a richer sound and when the bass and piano come in i really like the depth they give it. the lyrics are hands down the best we've heard so far, personally i think this song lyrically is on par with anything from A Rush of Blood to the Head era.

[Ronnie O Sullivan]

Its a great song because it makes me always thinking about all the problems in the world and the fact of being happy with what i got !

[joecortazzo]

I don't like this song. Not one bit. Will belongs on the drums not the piano. It's very boring, and really has no chorus, or any interesting part in the song. I vote 0 out of 10

[sjors93]

Beautiful song, great to play on guitar.

[MosesTheMarshmallow]

The more I listen to this song, the more I realize how intricately cohesive the whole song is. It just feels like it's REALLY well put-together; at first I thought the one-member-walk-on thing was kind of silly, it just makes so much sense now...it's really the boys against the world when they play it.

I secretly hope they release as a single. If the band can get away with releasing Don't Panic as a single, then they can with UATW. That's because I personally think Don't Panic isn't very radio-friendly...it's a rather "boring" acoustic song. It's beautiful and it's wonderful and catchy. But it's nowhere near Yellow or Clocks or VLV or ETIAW/Paradise as a radio song.

Everything about this song is beautiful. I fell even more in love when they performed this in Letterman. Such a great song.

Bloody hell, that's brilliant. Don't worry people, the 'church organs' are in the background and not dissimilar to the piano live... and Will Champion is echoey but clearly audible. :D

[R0Y]

Yeah definitely one of my favorite if not my favorite of the Mylo Xyloto album.

[SupermassiveCPnerd]

Sorta reminds me of See You Soon, too. Also Prospeckt's March. I just love this song so much I could go on and on about it all day long. <3

^ The quality is not that good, and the song is so simple that without the vocals it gets kind of boring.

[nanda]

Oh yeah, the vocals are the heart of the song. It's so beautifully sung by Chris it's hearbreaking.
