Yes, I need to hear more of this one. Don't really have a feel for it yet.

I like the feel of this song.. it gives me goosebumps. So far one of my favourites. Again Guy's bass is heavy in the mix, and you almost ignore Jonny's guitar, its kind of hidden in the sea of music. Not saying I don't like the song though.. it's very clever. I can't wait to hear this live, I think they will give it some welly live and it will be awesome. Imagining Chris Dancing in the middle.. It's fun, funky and happy. A track to drive to. For sure.  |

This song is magnificent! The music is really er ethereal and bright and happy and I love it...The lyrics are some of the best on the album too "standing in the corner, studying the lights" is a really really good line. The only gripe I have with this one is that the "cool" at the end sounds a little cut off, so the transition with HFTW is wonky, but that's easily overlooked |

this is one of the best songs they have done since viva, if not the best. and yes, this and up&up lyrics are some of the best to come from chris in a while as well.

Aaah I am in love with this song. As a side note, I tried to look up the lyrics online and came across this on metrolyrics.com: Close your eyes and see The lumpy boats Falling free Fall in love and I missed you Lumpy boats falling free????  Possibly the funniest misheard lyric I've ever seen. |

hahaa! i don't know whether it has been mentioned here, but chris said in an european interview that this is about two lovers from 2 places like the palestine and israel. without that context, this song comes across as random. but it is a really beautiful, meaningful song! but wish the last line was different  |

What, don't you have lumpy boats in MO? haha! Nope, must be a British thing.  I hope Chris is not trying to tell us that lumpy boats will be falling during this song instead of bird-shaped confetti..... |

From Coldplay's Twitter:  And in text from their website:
been standing in the corner
studying the lights
the dreaming of escape will keep you up at night
but someone had put the flares up
and got me in the rays
so I guess I’d better stay
‘uh uh no come on’ you say
it’s a fool’s gold thunder
it’s just a warring rain
don’t let the fears just start ‘what if
I won’t see you again’
around here you never want to sleep all night
so start falling in love, start the riot and
come on rage with me
we don’t need words
and we’ll be birds
got to make our own key
only got this moment
you and me
guilty of nothing
but geography
come on and raise it
come on and raise this noise
for the million people
who got not one voice
come on it’s not over if you
mean it say loud
come on all for Love
out from the underground
away with me
we don’t need words
close your eyes and see
and we’ll be birds
flying free
holding on in the mystery
oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
fearless together
you said ‘we’ll go through this together’
when you fly won’t you
won’t you take me too?
in this world so cruel
I think you’re so cool

Possibly the funniest misheard lyric I've ever seen.
