Chris Martin: Mylo Xyloto is based on a love story

coldpatrix · 17-08-2011, 11:29 AM

SO, despite not being seen together in yonks, it appears Chris Martin is still all loved up with Gwyneth Paltrow.

The rocker, 34, has revealed the inspiration behind Coldplay’s new album Mylo Xyloto is luuuurve. He said: “It’s based on a love story with a happy ending.”

But it’s not all harmony for the lads. Guitarist Jonny Buckland, 33, hints at disagreements while they were trying to get an album that is “as good as we’ve ever been, at least”.

He tells Billboard: “We’re brutal with ideas. The rest of the band want 10 songs, Chris wants 13.” Steady on, chaps.

I think they'll meet (almost) halfway and do 11 songs. I'm glad to hear they're still doing an album based on a story, I've always been a fan of concept albums.

Fairy Tale in an imaginary world. and then all the fans are saying the same thing. Coldplay is Chris with Gwyneth and the band .

it means everything and it means nothing to everybody and nobody - Guy Berryman

Phil, who is our fifth member, he doesn’t play an instrument but he plays the mobile phone and the laptop computer - Will Champion

a negative capability is the ability within yourself to accept that things go up and down and you can't always control it and they can't always be up but they won't always be down - Chris Martin

it’s a good noisy crowd that sing through the show at the Ahoy - none more so than when the band are on the B-Stage and the cheer for Will during Us Against The World is so huge that the song grinds to a halt amidst disbelieving giggles on stage - Roadie #42

Coldplay still amaze me. They're doing a concept album, with a story, and they've only just decided the tracklisting!?

Wickett · 17-08-2011, 12:48 PM

Interesting. I sure hope Chris wins out and gets 13 tracks to us. Shame on you Johnny, Will, and Guy for only wanting to give us 10 out of the many that you've written.

Chris, I thought you had learnt from X&Y... bloated is bad.

This. When it comes to albums, less is more.

FlipBack · 17-08-2011, 02:03 PM

I'd be happy with 10-11 songs but I'd expect an EP!

Cleggy · 17-08-2011, 02:08 PM

I don't think they'll go down the EP route this time. if they have any extra songs to release I think they'll release them as b-sides like they did during X&Y and AROBTTH.

These people don't know what to make up in order to sell newspapers/magazines.

If there's something love related it ALWAYS has to do something with Gwyneth, ALWAYS!

A love story between Guy and Miley.

Hello, We are planning to develop a fan club website for Coldplay whose music rapidly spreads among crowds of people across our country(Turkey). However, We do want to develop this website officially within the Coldplay family. We would be glad if you give us some information. The Oracle replies: You can't develop the site as part of the official Coldplay site I'm afraid but there are loads of unofficial fan sites around the world. One international one that springs to mind is http://www.coldplayzone.it. If you contact Patrizio he's really nice so am sure he'd be helpful.

Oh no. The albums do fine but now all the rock awards are going to ed Sherran (who i do not like!) :/
