U.F.O

[followchrist77]

I looked a little bit and was surprised to see that there is not a Sub-Fourm yet created for U.F.O . I Think that this will probably be a major song in MX, probably the best one on the album. I say this because everyy where you look around in the Coldplay universe now (post-viva era), you see U.F.O depicted or written somewhere... even on the band's uniforms!

[admnistramation]

I think they scrapped it on account of it not being on the cover and all and MTM being on the EP only.

[foxeh]

Cant remember seeing "U.F.O" on the Clothes.

[MorningGlory]

before we know the MX artwork, we thought dat UFO was a song, but on the artwork is nothing about UFO, i think it's scraped...

[ColdplayingfromKansas]

I'd say it's either been scrapped or gone through a name change.

Although you can still see U.F.O written on Guy's bass and the picture where the guys have their backs to the graffitied wall

Maybe they change the Painting now before the new Fastivals once the Album is ready now.

[admnistramation]

I think that the "I <3 UFO" and "golden arrow" was covered up on the album artwork, it might have been originally there.

[Coldplero]

U.F.O. (has a . in the end) and also REX is going to be a major song!
YOU CAN SEE UFO AND REX AND CAR KIDS ALL OVER THEIR CLOTHES! NO IM GOING TO

Forgot about that as well. I think it will definitely be a song.

[followchrist77]

WHY?

Probably because of all the Marketing of the name U.F.O.


Guys Bass has UFO on it
The News icon on the coldplay.com website has UFO on the inside of the newspaper titled MX. Hinting that it will be a major componet on LP5.
It is pictured on this photoshoot: http://coldplay.com/uploads/newphoto2820.jpg



I do have to admit I could not find it on the MX artwork. If anyone can, Post it please?

[SprayCanSoul]

I think the reason for UFO not appearing on the Album artwork
is because it could feature as a 'Hidden Track' on Mylo Xyloto!!

I truly believe that the back of the album cover will be a continuation of the front "motif" with more graffitti that will include "U.F.O" and other lyrics, etc.

I'm holding to the theory that the song titles will NOT appear on the back like all of the other Coldplay albums but will be on inside or on sticker (a la Sigur Ros). Once you open up cd artwork, song titles will be there.

[john_crawford44]

I like your Theory!!

It's the obvious conclusion to the front... I have posted artwork to what I imagined would be the back cover, but in giving it more thought it would make more sense that it's more graffitti and maybe some liner notes on bottom.

[foxeh]

You think they use the normal Font on the Graffiti background?
Sounds too easy for me.

[SprayCanSoul]

Yeah I definately Agree 100%.Possibly the back cover will be more continuation of the front and could include referances to songs such as UFO,AlienRadio,A Hopeful Transmission,Golden Arrow,Paradise none of whch appear on the front.Even a tracklist cover like you produced could still feature but only on the inside!!

[foxeh]

I actually dont think the Back will be Graffiti..i still hope for some Space realated stuff since the Thing in the Middle of the Cover looks like the "Big Bang" for me.

[SprayCanSoul]

What he means is having no tracklist feature on the album artwork but have it on the inside of the album.The back cover would be similar to the front with more graffiti..but no tracklist!!

[john_crawford44]

Exactly... it will "open up" to all the songs inside... sticker on front to have the standard "includes "Every Teardrop is a Waterfall", "Paradise", and "Charlie Brown". Something like that.

[SprayCanSoul]

I actually dont think the Back will be Graffiti..i still hope for some Space realated stuff since the Thing in the Middle of the Cover looks like the "Big Bang" for me.

I still want some Space related stuff too and I think we will get it -
UFO,A Hopeful Transmission and maybe AlienRadio.
But If you look at the Artwork it only really reveals song titles and lyrics we already know.
I now think that the back off the Album Artwork will not feature a Tracklisting but more graffiti similar to the front but with new songs or space related titles/lyrics!!

[Jack Bauer]

[SprayCanSoul]

Yeah good point!!I know we dont know the other lyrics but what I meant was the majority of the front cover only referances
songs we already know.I think the back (if it is graffiti like the front) will be covered in new lyrics and new song titles -
completing the tracklisting of the album !!

[foxeh]

if the Tracklist is on the back they probably wont write it with the actual Font as used for the Cover maybe they write the Songs and the Lenght in the same style as every Song which is on the Cover for example: "scratched in" like "MX", painted on a whiteline like "Car Kids".

I really do think that the two songs that have to be on the album is U.F.O and Alien Radio. Now THAT song (Alien Radio) will definitely be on the album. It's insignia is on the bands clothes, in the ETIAW video, and it was on the homepage icon for a while at coldplay.com.

[The+escapist]

What's up guys? First and only post, but just had to add this.
For those of you concerned that Coldplay has dropped the alien theme, I don't think they have. If you look at the spiral image that the band has been using (the roughly sketched spiral that is the homepage tab on their website, as well as on chris' piano, and their uniforms), it looks almost identical to ancient civilizations' carvings of UFO's and ancient astronauts.
http://www.ufo-contact.com/wp-content/themes/supermassive%20new/lib/scripts/timthumb.php?src=http://www.ufo-contact.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/ancient_spirals.jpg&h=250&w=640&zc=1
While the spiral image is most prominent among ancient north american civilizations, other spiral shapes have been discovered in every continent on earth and is accepted by many as a clear sign of UFO's. Hopefully this gives some hope to the alien theme :cool:
And if you don't believe this, they already registered U.F.O as a song on ASCAP, so that's a 100% chance it exist and will be utilized:laugh3:

I have this feeling/belief that Car Kids isn't a song but lyrics in a song or something to do with Charlie Brown. Oh no wait, wasn't it on the list of songs back in 2009? I guess it really is a song...maybe they just decided not to use/finish it for some reason. :thinking: Although I still keep a possibility open because Up in Flames hasn't been registered yet either.

[QuestionsOfScience]

Can I just say...when did anyone from the band or who is in there with them say "U.F.O Is a song"?
And on the south bank show wall with the song list, just because it was listed doesn't mean it's a song, might I say Cartoon Heart? Spanish Rain? I mean ok, people had adopted titles (eg Don Quixote / Spanish Rain) but they're not official titles are they? And Cartoon Heart...did anybody tell any of you guys that this was the original name for Charlie Brown?
My thought is that UFO isn't a song, but might be some sort of lyric (I'm the same with Space Symphony).

It is definitely a song because Chris Martin told in a Interview back in 2009 about that song which is a "great new song" about "old people complaining about young people". :)

They've never put the lenght, and I don't think they should. And I think they will put on the same font of the front, the Every Teardrop Is A Waterfall CD is like that at least.

I would like to hear the song. I saw an orange round spot moving in the sky about a week ago. I heard some people call Coasttocoastam.com radio program who have seen UFOs. The orange one I saw, others have called in saying they saw it. This would be a great song for the radio program. They already plays Clocks and Viva in their bumper music.

this song is obviously space-themed and Eno is on it........ and it was said that the album was going to have some industrial rock influences so......

"That’s the acoustic… that was the first song written for the album actually and the chord sequence in it pops up a few times. And that’s a kind of prayer “times” kind of song. There’s a lot of feeling lost on the album but also being found as well and that’s very much a bit of both."

[CharlieBrown]

just noticed that U.F.O. (if that allmusic article is true) has the same lenght of Don't Panic!

I noticed this as well! I believe that UFO will have very basic lyrics that revolve around the whole alienation topic and be quite a simple song.

Chris said it is the "acoustic one" so i'm imagining something like a more eerie Kingdom Come or perhaps even like UATW.

(i really hope it has I <3 UFO somewhere in the song) :D

[admnistramation]

Some thought inside me has been eating me away for a while with the I <3 UFO thing. I think it might be a play on words of "I love you" hand-in-hand with "I love UFO" or something cheesy like that, UFO with a connotation of "you" being some love interest from afar. Kind of like URA Fever by The Kills, something like that.

And in terms of the song, whenever I think of short acoustic track for some reason I Bloom Blaum comes to mind over Don't Panic. Sure it has that "we live in a beautiful world" thing going on and that kind of hints with the spacial theme, but UFO reminds me more of I Bloom Blaum because it's that song about being lost, it might have some kind of ominous feel to it.

It's been mentioned, but Chris mentioned UFO is going to be an acoustic, "prayer time" song. I imagine it to be a mix between A Message and Til Kingdom Come.

Charlie Brown has the luminous lyrics. The last line of the song :P.

"And we're so luminous and wild. We're glowing in the dark."

[coldpatrix]

U.F.O. will have a lot of strings... :vanish:

[JackZ]

In regards to luminous:
1. It is not confirmed that the lyrics in Charlie Brown actually do say luminous.
2. When people say "luminous lyrics" they mean "the two of use, we drove. A speeding ghost and a shadow, etc etc etc....".

just noticed that U.F.O. (if that allmusic article is true) has the same lenght of Don't Panic!

U.F.O
Harking back to the title track of their debut album, U.F.O is a melancholic interlude, Chris Martin's acoustic plucks joined by the swirl of strings halfway through, resembling a more saccharine take on Radiohead's Faust Arp. The escapism-themed lyrics ("let's fly/split the sky...") explain the title, just in case you were wondering if Chris Martin was about to grow a bed and start picketing outside Area 51 with Robbie Williams.

LOL awesome!

[ColdplayingfromKansas]

U.F.O. = Don't Panic ???

[Schröder]

Title track... = Parachutes.

[Nature]

if it's as good as Don't Panic then that would be epic.

[DundahMifflin]

Title track... = Parachutes.

Thank you for pointing this out. I am still wondering besides Don't Panic is being brought up, despite having the same track length.

[Mrk]

^I talked about the same track lenght thing because it was just a strange coincidence :)

[ColdplayingfromKansas]

^ Plus, isn't this supposed to be one of the ''acoustic" songs? (along with Up In Flames and possibly UAtW and UWtB)

O wait . . . apparently all of the 'U' songs are acoustic-y :P

[Paulinha coldplay]

They were saying that U.F.O is an interlude track, like MX, M.M.I.X and A Hopeful Transmission... Is this true? Because an idiot brazilian site heard the full album and they made a review, (a terrible review), but we can see that U.F.O isn't an interlude...

[VIVA.42]

A TERRIBLE REVIEW!?!?! :(

[Paulinha coldplay]

Unfortunately, yes... But these brazilian sites are shit, so, I don't care about it...
Look what they said about U.F.O:

9 - "U.F.O"
It seems like "Us Against The World" and recommended for those who die in love with "Violet Hill," "Fix You" (without that final) and "Life is for living," hidden track at the end of the first album.

So horrible in that it was poorly written or was teh album not well-recieved by the Brazilian site?

[admnistramation]

I still think it will recall I Bloom Blaum. The song has lyrics, there's a little bit more to it.

The whole review is terrible... And the part of U.F.O is very poor, we don't want comparisions, we want to have an idea of how the song is... :confused:

[Gui-Home42]

as we say ... wait and see :) ... we will have our own point of view in 12 days !!

[Drew42LP5]

Any chance this is Alien Radio?

[Drew42LP5]

Any chance this is Alien Radio?

Nah, probably not.

[ColdplayingfromKansas]

^ Did you just answer your own question? :P

[DundahMifflin]

:lol:

[hps]

:laugh3::laugh3:

[lndnsky]

okay I love this one! Its the old&new Coldplay! :dazzled:

[Major_Love]

Lyrics?

[Odvan]

^This.

[lifeincoldplaycolor]

this song is amazing

[dadedade]

Come on, let's write them down :D

[PianoRocker]

Anybody noticed that at 01:25 is the same as MX/A Hopeful Transmision? :) I think there is the reason they called it Mylo Xyloto... it comes back everywhere!

[OneTwoThree]

THIS is the most wonderful song on the album, in my opinion. :)
It's just so what I wished for. I like the other songs too...but for me, this is something ultra special.

[OneTwoThree]

Anybody noticed that at 01:25 is the same as MX/A Hopeful Transmision? :) I think there is the reason they called it Mylo Xyloto... it comes back everywhere!

Oh, you're so right! That's awesome! :D

[Twisted__Logic]

is this the club for the U.F.O fans?

[JM-SP2]

fucking love it!

[Hartroc]

Yup. I noticed it too. :D

[ianbach]

yup.... that motif is echoed right across the album. I think they've done an amazing job of creating a cohesive piece of work. I've only listened a couple of times through but already it seems to give so much more as a collection of songs. Hell... ETIAW sounds incredible here (we'll see about Paradise in time)

[Caroline]

This is Parachutes to me. It's fucking awesome.

[blankshore]

My favorite song on the album at this point.

[gcjuan]

This song is AMAZING, I love it so much!

[TimeIsOnYourSide]

wow

[golfing7861]

My least liked song on the album right now, but who knows it'll probably grow on me.

[Taliaa]

Loved it...really beautiful!

[Jaimex11]

this song its kind of being unnoticed, Up in flames, new favourite 5/10

[TyM218]

For those who keep complaining about wedding bells... this is basically the same song with some added instrumentation

[A RUSH OF VIDA]

Its growing on me.

[Chechoouu]

U.F.O is the proof that when coldplay go back to their roots, and make an acoustic song they come up with something just amazing and excellent!

[Pai]

Yeah I noticed the MX/A Hopeful Transmission tune echoing in this song. Made my hairs stand on end, it did.

[Clairounette]

UFO makes me want to cry ! This song is very beautiful ! <3

[hayachris]

I love it, the lyrics, the sound, everything! My new Fix you!

[justyn]

at the end of this song rips takk by sigur ros

[matan]

ufo is a good song!!! its song that remind parachutes i like it,its a very acoustic song with only guitar so i think that coldplay love the song to that is why they right the name ufo every where

[DundahMifflin]

The more I listen, the more I realize that UFO is one of their best acoustic songs. (I'd even put it right behind See You Soon.)

[joseki]

UFO is the best song of MX, but it's too short...

[dpkekoa]

ditto XD

[Death's Best Friend]

The ending is what makes me love this.
