One thing I noticed after repeated listens...

[ChadBC]

Before the "acoustic" half of the song near the end after he sings "And then i'm up with the birds"....the spacey/echoe-y guitar part sounds like his soul is slowly being lifted up to the heavens/sky or what have you until he gradually is Up with the Birds and then the happy/acoustic part of the song starts. VERY COOL.

[Samuel_94]

I cant wait to hear this!!!!

[ChadBC]

Are you halfway through the album right now or are you waiting for the real CD?

If you don't like Up with the Birds I will....I don't know. I'll do something. :cool:

[Dark K]

The best thing of the whole album is that Coldplay created a record where you can be taken from a beginning to an end.

Up with the Birds keeps up to that fact.

DLIBYH does the 'epic ending' track, an 'all out performance'.

And then, out of nowhere, this nostalgic thing comes out.

The weird sounds after a Verse?
Sounds like someone's having an Orgasm.

another thing, when he says "My arms turn wings" or something like that, did you notice a soft female voice in the background? :) it's so nice

[ChadBC]

Woah, you're right. Sounds like an "angel" or something. :stunned:

I dont think it's a voice.
Sound more like the Syncmelody in the Background which starts to synchronize with Chris' voice.

[ChadBC]

Sounds cool nonetheless.

[LVI56]

Very interesting if it is one song with two parts. Great observation!

[Taliaa]

Yes, sounds like two songs. The sounds are so different and interesting. The album is not what I expected. But after 800 repeats, I'm sure I will adore it like all the others. Although ROBTTH is what I've been listening to lately and damn, are they amazing. I never get tired of it.

[Jaimex11]

The best part is around 1:40, with the weird chorus that fades hahaha GREAT 7.5/10, but maybe i need more listens

[TyM218]

I'd like it if they ditched the first half of the song, and it started at 1:51

[R0Y]

I am in love with this songs. Lyrics are beautiful!

[Samuel_94]

Its everything I was expecting and much much more!!!! Love it, a favourite along with Charlie Brown

If this review http://www.heraldsun.com.au/entertainment/music/album-review-mylo-xyloto-by-coldplay/story-fn7oonq8-1226171632495 is to be believed it's probably Juanita Stein from Howling Bells.

[Chechoouu]

Up with the birds its awesome i was like DD: when i heard it for the first time, i couldn't believe that coldplay came up with such a beautiful song, obviously they are capable of that but i didn't expect it at all. Anyways i loved it :D

[docutale]

Hey guys,

Just popped by to say yes it is Juanita Stein from Howling Bells, it's actually my sister :-)
And yes she does sound like an "angel". awesome! It's in the credits of LP.

[ChadBC]

Yeah, I don't know about all that like the sister thing but cool. I really like that part of the song. Really dreamy.
