I'm positive PoC will not be left off MX!!

[Skin&Bones]

It's such an amazing song! I've listened to it so many times!
Coldplay - Princess of China {Better Quality} - YouTube
Can you really say a song like that will be left off?? And if you say it's going to be left off because of the lyrics, no one can understand the lyrics in the first place so... I still don't believe you.
Its structure is so awesome!!!!

[Major_Love]

Love it too!

[Ronnie O Sullivan]

I expect it to be a great and important song of the new era ! Btw,it seems we are the biggest supporters of PoC in here :D

[Skin&Bones]

I think we are... lol. I've posted on a lot of threads supporting PoC. It's my favorite one yet.

[Ronnie O Sullivan]

Yeah,me too ! Always under cover :laugh3: So this should be "our" thread were we can discuss about the best song of the new era :)

[Skin&Bones]

Yes! And how it WILL NOT be left off! It's like the Viva La Vida of Mylo Xyloto (so far). BTW, Charlie Brown, Princess Of China and Hurts Like Heaven are ALL single quality songs. This gives me a lot of hope for LP5 being the best thing ever.

I think PoC is definitely the strongest one. It has an interesting structure with awesome synthesizers, guitar parts and tack piano overlays! And the main synth-riff is orgasmic!

[Ronnie O Sullivan]

Of course, i also read the contras in various threads why it could be left off...that scares me sometimes :( But i dont think Phil mentioned PoC as a B-Side in his tweet...

[Skin&Bones]

No I don't think they would put it as a B-side. First of all, Up In Flames is obviously going to be on the album because Chris and the rest of the band are "fired up about it". Paradise is going to be a single. Princess Of China (when mentioned along with two other songs that are 99% sure to be on the album) is pretty much guaranteed.

If they leave Princess Of China out and release it as a B-side, then I guess it's also pretty safe to say there must have been some pretty freakin' super songs to take its place in the album sequencing.

[Ronnie O Sullivan]

BUT:

I cant imagine a more freakin song than PoC !!!:laugh3::laugh3:

[Skin&Bones]

Well yeah, it's pretty epic! :D

[nancyk58]

Princess of China aka. PoC for the win ! :thumbsup:

[Major_Love]

I expect it to be a great and important song of the new era ! Btw,it seems we are the biggest supporters of PoC in here :D

I'm so looking forward to hear the studio versions and some epic singalongs with the audience later! :cool:

[Ronnie O Sullivan]

I dont know,but isnt it true that Chris or someone of the band mentioned that it is their favourite song so far ?!

[S.@.m.]

the oracle said it is one of its favourite one's i think but i could be wrong.

[Ronnie O Sullivan]

I always wanted to ask that, does the Oracle(who is it,does anyone know exactly?) have a connection to the band or is it maybe almost a member of Coldplay ?!?

[amir.mohit]

You could have been the princess, I\\\'d be a king
Could
have had a castle and wore a ring
But, no-oooh, you let me go-oooh

love it :cheesy:

his hands looks like swimming, growing, flying and as a background mood swirling,,,gr8gr8gr8

[ColdplayingfromKansas]

There's actually two Oracles--one of them is Debs Wild (who frequents this forum occasionally) and the other is Vicky Taylor, who is the band's personal assistant :)

[S.@.m.]

...
i dunno if somebody else said something similar. :shrug:
was it mentioned in a roadie blog or a tweet of phil or so?

Q. So Phil tweeted recently the band is relieved to have announced the name of the album and it's release date. He also said this : 'Paradise, Up in Flames, Princess of China...let's get 'em out there!' Can you confirm these songs are definitely going to be released, no matter if on an album or as an EP? Because many fans, like me, fret we won't get to hear them (at least not PoC and Up in Flames) despite the tweet. And you could actually respond to a question related to the new album once in a year. Thanks much.


The Oracle replies:

If Phil tweeted them at this stage, they will be on the album / released. He wouldn't tweet song titles before a tracklisting had been settled on.
It occurred to me that I haven't heard Up in Flames yet, so I better get in on the action!

Oh crap...

[Skin&Bones]

^ SO EXCITED!!!! :rolleyes4:

[ShotsIntheSky]

I LOVE Princess of China!! I really hope its going to be on the album!! :dance:

[the_escapist]

I always wanted to ask that, does the Oracle(who is it,does anyone know exactly?) have a connection to the band or is it maybe almost a member of Coldplay ?!?

yep. The Oracle is Debs Wild, their public relations manager.

[Ronnie O Sullivan]

Oh crap...

Why "Oh crap" ?!? This answer makes positive about PoC...or not ?:thinking:

[footyfan10]

Definitely on the album as Phil tweeted abt it

[Ronnie O Sullivan]

You think so ?! iam so confused and would be so satisfied if i finally know its on !!! This waiting makes me ill....

[Stv]

Did anyone notice how the stuff in the screen during PoC was the artwork?

[howyousawtheworld]

I like it but currently I fail to see how this song fits into a "concept" like album. One moment your singing about grafitti on a bridge and the next your talking about fairy tale stories! Excellent song though!

[admnistramation]

Princess Of China fits in with that same theme expressed in Major Minus, being careful and trying to escape the all-seeing eye or what have you.

There's the self-expressionist theme with graffiti, said theme of surveillance, and then that alien/spacial theme. This album is actually going to be pretty interesting.

[Drew42LP5]

yep. The Oracle is Debs Wild, their public relations manager.

Is that true?

[princessofchina:)]

Better not be left off MX!!!! I love this song so much I made it my username! LOL :)

[Connor!42!]

oh yes!! :) so excited :)

[Ronnie O Sullivan]

Well, iam pretty sure it will be on Mylo Xyloto. The oracle is excited about it,we are, Phil mentioned it on his recent tweet. Its my favourite because its totally different to all songs theyve written so far and i cant get it out of my mind !

Personally, iam sure its also one of their three fav songs in this era and they just wanted to find out how it works live at Rock im Park. This song will be a great anthem on their upcoming tour,like CB...for sure !

[Ronnie O Sullivan]

Some news about the mysterious on ? On or scrapped ?! :)

[Wickett]

I agree that this is a very nice song, and there's been a lot of talk about it too across the internet. It and Hurts Like Heaven seem to be getting the most attention from what I can see. This is just a thought, but, could Spanish Rain be a B-side to Princess of China?

By the way, here's a better sounding version (and a cool made-up cover)
Coldplay - Princess of China - YouTube

So tell that princess, she'll never be lonely again.

[Ronnie O Sullivan]

Yeah,it makes sense because of the lyrics(in a way) :) Otherwise it would mean that PoC is going to be released as a Single FROM Mylo Xyloto...and that would be a greeeeat fact !!!:laugh3::laugh3::laugh3:
