Wow you guys are unbelievable writers! This weekend I spent a lot of time writing in my notebook. I'll share a few of them with you guys. These are only words, but no music as of yet.
Contact
[Intro] Breaking through the clouds, Are rays carried by the breeze. Lines of light and waves of sound, Peering through the canopy.
[Bridge] Words softly spoken by the trees, Deeply rooted in the heart, Of life, of life and harmony, About to be torn apart.
[Chorus] The wind is slowly losing its breath. The ground shatters beneath our feet. We're witnessing the violent death, Of life collapsing into a world of concrete.
[2nd Verse] Trying to make time stand still, To abandon a sinking ship. Instead, we find a stronger will, To regain our weakened grip.
[Bridge] [Chorus]
[Outro] (repeat fade out) Find way, This day, Lights.

What if they were shooting music videos for each song on the album, then on album release day they upload them all to youtube. It does fit in with the surprise release theme of this album, and it would mean they are crafting a type of story from the videos that accompany the songs on the album. Now that I would love.

I already shared this on the other thread, but here's one of my pieces, composed a year ago.
It's based on a four chord progression of Bb minor, Db major, F minor, and Eb sus4 to Eb major. There's a bridge of chords Bb major, D minor, Ab major, Db major, F major. Then it returns to the original chord progression. The melody is played on a shimmering flute, and accompanied by piano, ambient strings, a minimal drum, keyboard, and trumpets.
Hope you like it. Feel free to provide feedback. I also have more songs on my channel, and I have many more great ones in store that I'm working on right now.

If I may be allowed to share my compositions on this thread as well....
Here is a song I composed a year ago. I'm going to continue my experimentation with music in college so it would be great to have some feedback from you wonderful Coldplayers.
I have other songs uploaded on my channel as well..

I'm hoping that they release Midnight as part of an EP of about 5 songs to further increase the hype and get their live shows going. Then they drop the album in late June.

agreed ^. I'm hoping they release this as a b-side or on an EP like they did with ETIAW, although it seems they've taken a completely different approach to releasing songs this time around.

Sad that coldplaying is down....but glad this is here so I can share all my uncontrollable excitement. Two gifs already! A few more and we could have a new Coldplay era on our hands! I think that they will release their single next Tuesday on March 2nd. This will give people enough time to really listen to the song before they perform the iTunes festival on the 11th.
