New piano song?!?! (probably not)

James. · 23-04-2012, 07:53 PM

OK guys, this is a crazy and unlikely theory, but hear me out:

You all remember the story of Postcards From Far Away, correct? On the Viva tour, The Hardest Part was surprisingly brought back after the band had not played it in years and in fact Chris had said he didn't like playing the song. It was brought back as a sparkly new piano version, and played on the B-Stage after two sort of electronic sounding songs (GPASUYF/Talk remix). The song featured a fancy new piano outro which everyone liked and allowed the other band members time to get ready for the next song (Viva La Vida).
Exhibit A:

Spoiler

A couple of months later, the Prospekt's March EP was released and the fancy piano piece was on it, now titled 'Postcards From Far Away'.

Everyone with me so far? Good, now here's the interesting part:

Three years later, on the MX tour, Warning Sign is surprisingly brought back after the band had not played it in years and Chris had said he didn't like playing it. It comes back as a sparkly new piano version, on the B-Stage, after two sort of electronic sounding songs (Princess of China/Up in Flames). It features a fancy new piano outro which (I assume) everybody likes and allows the other band members to get ready for the next song (DLIBYH).
Exhibit B:

Spoiler

See where I'm going with this?

Anyway, I'm probably crazy but I really can't help but notice similarities between the two situations, and the conspiracy theorist in me just wants to tell the people all about it! Please discuss!

Well, there's just one way to know wheter to know this. Compare the videos of previous concerts and you know it. I think it's too short for a new instrumental piano track...

Cheese Nip 2 · 23-04-2012, 08:54 PM

This actually sounds logical to me.

I love the new A Warning Sign!

Tash · 23-04-2012, 09:10 PM

I don't know if we'll ever hear it again but I hope we do because I like the way it sounds

SprayCanSoul · 23-04-2012, 09:45 PM

Love the outro.
But to me it just seems its an extended outro of Warning Sign

I think.
Not a new song.

Maybe. I just thought it was too similar to the Postcards From Far Away situation to be a coincidence

Prospector · 24-04-2012, 02:19 AM

I think it's just an outro, but Life Is For Living had a new intro before we found out it was part of Charlie Brown so...everything is possible.

Blue Nails · 24-04-2012, 06:26 PM

I love it too and I play it whenever I walk past my piano (which is getting annoying).
It's probably just an outro though, it's too short/simple to be a song I think.
But who knows?

42JTR · 24-04-2012, 07:03 PM

Omg it gave me chills!!! It could easily be a part of a new song

Or when listening to it again, it could just be a new rendition/outro of Warning Sign.

ilovechriss · 24-04-2012, 08:01 PM

New song or not: I love it

Carefulwhereyoustand · 03-05-2012, 04:36 AM

I don't think Chris has ever expressed a dislike for the song seriously. Chris tends to bash on every song he writes (Which I really hate, he shouldn't go Kanye West on us but he should at least give himself some credit) he has said the song is boring in a track-by-track which I'm sure some of you have seen. But he also said he didn't like The Scientist, Don't Panic, and Yellow in the same interview. I'm pretty sure Chris at least likes The Scientist and Yellow even if he's not to fond of Don't Panic.

coldpatrix · 03-05-2012, 07:06 AM

It's definitely an outro...

BagMaster · 07-05-2012, 05:38 PM

i think its an outro because with postcards from far away. the song comepletly changed. it changed key and it was a different melody/rythm. the ending to a warning sign is the same key and everything. you can tell that its a warning sign. its just an outro i think

ohyesitslaura · 08-05-2012, 04:24 PM

They need to turn the outro into a song because that was so great and so much better than anything they've done on the new album

BagMaster · 08-05-2012, 07:08 PM

^yes it would be sick to hear it if they make an ep for MX and hopefully make it sound like classic coldplay

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.
