If the band does go the route of a space theme then the golden arrow could be related to the stars. I could see a lyric like "They shot across the sky like a golden arrow" BTW wasnt there a rumored song a while back for LP5 called Shooting Star?

I sort of started the rumour about 'Shooting Star' when I saw it registered on the PRS website, but I later saw that it was registered back in 2001, meaning it's been left off 3 albums so far. Never know, it might turn up somewhere though.

Am I the only one who thinks "Mylo Xyloto" is absolute garbage? If it's any of those, I'm kinda hoping it's "Up With The Birds" that's quite good, but too reminiscent of "Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds".
And yeah Space Symphony is Moving To Mars I'm pretty sure.

Just because they both have birds in them doesn't mean they are related in any way. Up With The Birds was probably even written before Oasis split up.

And can anyone tell me where Golden Arrow is coming from? Is it a new rumour?

Strawberry Swinger & QuestionsOfScience -- I'm with you too, we wait 3 years for an album and that's the title we get..? I'm digging "Up With The Birds" as a song and a title, much better than Mylo Xyloto and Major Minus in my opinion

Frankly, the only song Coldplay have played this era that DOES have a less-than-cringeworthy title is Cartoon Heart...and now that's not even called Cartoon Heart anymore.

Freakin' Charlie Brown. :angry:

Golden Arrow and Car Kids are okay though.

I like Charlie Brown a little more than Cartoon Heart. Too many songs with the word "heart" or "hearts" in them.

Guppywarlord
25-07-2011, 07:16 PM
I think there's still a possibility that there will be a song called Space Symphony. If you think about it, Charlie Brown has the lyric 'Us Against the World' in it, but there's still a separate song called Us Against the World. They've done it before anyways.

^ Like in the Viva era when we had the lyrics 'Now my feet won't touch the ground' in Strawberry Swing and Life In Technicolor II, but we also had the song Now My Feet Won't Touch The Ground.

Not to forget "No More Keeping My Feet On The Ground" from back in 1998 which is cool and if I didn't know it was a Coldplay song or didn't recognise Chris' voice, if anyone told me it was a song by The Verve, I'd believe them.

But I don't think there will be a song called Cartoon Heart. Cartoons, especially "Cartoon Hearts" are a theme that seems too narrow to write multiple songs about, if you ask me.

To be honest, the piano doesn't have anything that we haven't seen yet or anything that will truly be able to help us with the master goal of finding out the title, artwork, and track listing of LP5 before the band even does.

Okay, so did you guys notice the butterfly painted next to REX up towards the top right of the piano? Well, if you looked closely, the body of the butterfly appeared to be the word 'Voodoo', with the 'V' forming the antenna at the top. Sorta like this:
