High Quality Version?

[Osaka Sun]

Was PoC ever filmed in the format of the rest of the Rock am Ring festival streams?

It's kinda weird that we can only find handheld videos of it (nor is it in the official setlist).

[ColdplayingfromKansas]

It wasn't played at Rock am Ring, just Rock im Park--which had no live streaming. So the only videos we have are from people in the crowd.

I do wish we had a HQ version, though. It sounds like a cool song :P

[Osaka Sun]

And now I feel like an idiot for not knowing that there were two simultaneous festivals going on.

Damn you Coldplaying Homepage. :P

[ColdplayingfromKansas]

Actually, Rock im Park and Rock am Ring are at the same festival--just different days and Coldplay played on both. So you're right about there only being one festival :awesome:

[S.@.m.]

If I had only known that before I would have recorded the audio with my crappy cellphone audio recorder. It would have been at least something. :bomb:

[ladypro615]

thanks marcoldplayer!!!!!!!! i fucking love this! i cant! ive been so overwhelmed by this new material! i dont know what to do with myself!

[TheSkittz]

I just love how you can hear the song, but once the bass kicks in on any live version, it overwelms the cellphone or camera and just turns to BOOSHBOOSHBOOSHBOOSH and chris can barely be heard. lol

[ColdplayingfromKansas]

^ It reminds me of a phrase that my school's jazz band always says after a performance. We all turn to our bassist and say "TURN THE BASS DOOOOWWWNN!" :cool:


Someone needs to tell Guy this :awesome:

[S.@.m.]

yeah guy turn the bass down and make it sound crappy please!

*praying for POC to be performed @ glasto*

[ColdplayingfromKansas]

^ Yes, yes! Play it at Glastooooooo!

[jc90]

nvm...

[coldplayfan_115]

Yeah. Tried to listen to the versions of PoC out. So at this point, I have no idea what to think. I can't wait to hear it soon!

[andrea25]

It's incredible, I was losing hope and instead today I've found an higher quality version! Yay!

[ilovechriss]

^ WOW, that's MUCH better! :D I love it! Thanks:)

[Major_Love]

Lol, sorry, but when I hear the first seconds of the song I always have to laugh cause it sounds sooo different. :D

[jc90]

BUMP OF THE YEAR! Great find, thanks!

[Major_Love]

How do you like it?

[jc90]

^ me? Oh, well I like it a lot, probably one of the more different Coldplay sounds. I think that possibly, the reason why this song was only played the one time is because it isn't done yet. Chris is singing la-la-las around halfway through the song. Pretty sure he hasn't come up with lyrics at the time.

[Major_Love]

Yeah, I meant in general how do you all like the song. :)

[Abracadabra]

it isn't done yet. Chris is singing la-la-las around halfway through the song. Pretty sure he hasn't come up with lyrics at the time.

Yeah, this song generally sounds good, but the lyrics really needed brushing up. Hope they're fixed by this time.

[andrea25]

BUMP OF THE YEAR! Great find, thanks!

you're welcome ;)
I couldn't believe that there were only two recordings of the song at Rock Im Park, so I've tried looking harder for it on Youtube, keeping an eye at the concert setlist and seeing if someone had uploaded the song along some most famous song ... and so that was the case!
I've found a user who uploaded it together with GPASUYF thinking it was Major Minus.
So I've added the missing seconds at the beginning from previous (bad) recordings, an artwork worthy of its name…and now we just have to wait until October :)

[admnistramation]

Outstanding! Thank you!

[Major_Love]

For me this is another big hit alongside Charlie Brown and Hurts Like Heaven. Really!

[Major_Love]

Yeah, this song generally sounds good, but the lyrics really needed brushing up. Hope they're fixed by this time.

Don't think so because Princess of China is mentioned the first time months ago...

[Abracadabra]

^You don't think what? That the song is good, that the lyrics need brushing up or that they are fixed by now? I cannot make sense of your reply.

[Major_Love]

^You don't think what? I cannot make sense of your reply.

Don't think that the lyrics aren't finished yet.

[Abracadabra]

^I made a mistake in writing so perhaps I misled you. Let us clear this out, you think the lyrics aren't finished yet even though they had months to improve them?

[Jack Bauer]

Don't think so because Princess of China is mentioned the first time months ago...

And it was played months ago. It's almost been two months...

[Major_Love]

^I made a mistake in writing so perhaps I misled you. Let us clear this out, you think the lyrics aren't finished yet even though they had months to improve them?

No, I am of the opinion that they are finish. ;)
Because one guy told that they aren't finish with them. But that makes no sense because they had enough time. And if the lyrics aren't clear why playing a song at the FIRST festival after three years (where I would try to show the best performance...)

[Abracadabra]

^Sooo I figure you actually think the lyrics as we hear it (from that gig in Germany) are not going to change, that they are meant to have all that la-la-la stuff 'til end or? You said they wouldn't have performed a song in the first place if they didn't have the lyrics completed. So when you say 'finished' you mean the 'original' lyrics, and when I say 'finished' I mean the lyrics we are yet about to hear.

[laxwatcher]

Here's my attempt at a high quality version.

[laxwatcher]

Actually, let me change the recording. I think I can make it even better. I'm taking this video off.

[Stv]

I'm completely in love with Princess Of China!

[ColdplayBlop]

Here's my attempt at a high quality version.

‪Coldplay - Princess of China {Better Quality}‬‏ - YouTube (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=68h3fl5rctI)

That was actually very good, keep it up. I honestly can't wait for this song to be released, it's one of my favourite songs of the new era and there isn't even a standard quality of it yet =o =P.

[RedBalloon]

Thanks for the high-quality link. This is the first time I can hear clearly for the most part. It sounds so funny to me for the la la la part but it is true, I feel like from 2:21 [Ohhh to the end] around, very Chinese melody oriented - could be some Martial Arts theme song of a TV drama hehe. I doubt they have had any Chinese music experience, but it seems naturally Chinese - sensitive enough to catch the essence of certain type of music?

I do think there might be further "adjustment" or simply, the studio version will present more subtle programming [some Chinese instruments maybe...]

Although I truly hope I can see Coldplay tour in China [mainland] one day [The Cranberries has made a terrific show recently and we were so touched. Some people took thousands of miles to see this precious presence etc. and we sang along with the band]; but if not, still, looking forward to LP5 full of expecations - already in the energy of it. Like Chris said "We don't need to write any more songs now. We were feeling like we were missing one, that was it. It's basially quite a schizophrenic record. We're still putting it together. There's some very loud stuff, some very quiet stuff, it's seeing if they can live in Harmony together."

[Major_Love]

I'm completely in love with Princess Of China!

Yeah I love it too! <3

What do you sing about the possibility of a epic singalong?

[DundahMifflin]

I had yet to hear the entire song, as I have everything up to around 2:16 or so, and I must say - I freaking love the song. I sure hope it makes the album, because it is quite legitimate, no?

Thank you kindly, laxwatcher!

[Blue Nails]

Nice nice nice!

[Major_Love]

Nice nice nice!

"Nice nice nice"??

Did you mean "awesome awesome awesome"?! That would fit more... ;)

[ColdplayingfromKansas]

Ooooh :surprised: This is great! Thanks, laxwatcher! :hug:

[SueDeNimes]

Here's my attempt at a high quality version.

&#x202a;Coldplay - Princess of China {Better Quality}&#x202c;&rlm; - YouTube (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=68h3fl5rctI)Thanks a lot for that, awesome work! :stunned: :nice:

[Mimixxx]

I'd fotten about this song, then listened and remembered I really like it!

Thanks for the better quality version.

[Major_Love]

Thanks a lot for that, awesome work! :stunned: :nice:

The song is awesome work or the one who gives us the better audio? Or both? :P

[Marchez94]

I think that even this version deserves a listening...
the work on the audio and the artwork are not mine, nor the video.

[The Doctor]

I tried for a long time not to listen to this song because there isn't really a very clear one
but I just did and it's an amazing song :awesome:

[laxwatcher]

I was able to use the bass from the video with all the static recording because in fact it wasn't the bass that was causing the static but the crowd and singer. I just combined that with the other recording posted here that had clear vocals.

[Major_Love]

The song is magic! In Love... :dazzled::dazzled::dazzled::dazzled::dazzled::dazz led:

[SueDeNimes]

The song is awesome work or the one who gives us the better audio? Or both? :PI don't feel the desire to talk about Coldplay all day and repeat a thousand times what I like, I'll leave that to some of you others. :blank:

laxwatcher, thanks again for putting so much effort into editing the sound. :)

[Major_Love]

I don't feel the desire to talk about Coldplay all day and repeat a thousand times what I like, I'll leave that to some of you others. :blank:

Yay! Thanks. :D

[the_escapist]

can't wait for the studio version!

[Major_Love]

can't wait for the studio version!

And what do you say at the moment? Anything to improve? To be honest, I guess that PoC will be the other BIG hit of LP5 besides Charlie Brown. Hurts Like Heaven is also brilliant and I like it more than Charlie Brown (a bit), but don't know why, can't imangine that HLH will be a very big hit.

Maybe PoC sounds a bit different to all the radio stuff, but this can also be a chance.

[laxwatcher]

No problem guys :P

[MosesTheMarshmallow]

Wow great quality! Now I can listen to POC all day everyday. :heart:

[admnistramation]

Anyone make out the lyrics at the end from these revised versions?

[Stv]

I think that even this version deserves a listening...

I think that's the best fixed version so far

I think it's the equivalent of Cemeteries Of London, the melody evokes to me the same sensations...

Its the same version but louder. Still looking forward to hear the little details on the studio version. ;)

This one (posted by laxwatcher) is the best version yet. He took out the bass thumps near the beginning so you can hear everything else better. IT'S BRILLIANT!!

[strikie]

I could finnaly bear hearing to the song, and it's great =)

I can't really understand it :P

[princesanji]

we already know this audio, sounds like it's stolen from somebody else, how lame is that. also, this would not have required a new thread, and that as your first post, duh :nod:

I can't really understand it :P
not? it is the best audio available indeed and you can clearly hear a lot of it

[LilactheColdplayer]

not? it is the best audio available indeed and you can clearly hear a lot of it

You're right actually....I listened to it again and heard quite a bit... it seems like a really nice song!

[princesanji]

You're right actually....I listened to it again and heard quite a bit... it seems like a really nice song!

yes i really like it, too, can't wait to hear a good version & studio version... i suppose they will play it live on their next show!

[coldplay♪♫♪]

Wow thanks!

[LilactheColdplayer]

[admnistramation]

To be honest, there's a lot missing from the fixed versions that the original has. I can't describe it, but it just feels a little less complete. :\

[S.@.m.]

i can tell you if you had been there you would miss much more :rolleyes:

[Batmotor]

this song can be the best of the album if i hear correctly.
