Coldplay: “Every Teardrop Is A Waterfall” è il nuovo singolo

Dear friends, we’re about to play a bunch of summer festivals so it’s as good a time as any to put out a new song. ‘Every Teardrop Is A Waterfall’ will be available digitally on Friday 3rd June at 12pm (BST), except in the UK where it’ll come out on the stroke of midnight between Saturday 4th and Sunday 5th June. We’ll also stream it here on Friday and give it a run out at Rock Im Park. Love Will.

Tutto chiaro, no? Tornano i Coldplay con un nuovo singolo e iniziano a prepararci al nuovo “LP5?: l’album prodotto in collaborazione con Brian Eno di cui ancora si sa pochissimo, praticamente nulla. Non è certo il titolo (lo hanno deciso mesi fa e potrebbero cambiarlo in corso d’opera), non è certa la scaletta (“Christmas Lights” era stata scritta durante le prime session, invece è stata relegata al ruolo di outtake).

Non si sa – cosa più importante – la data di uscita. Anche se l’Oracolo sul loro sito, lascia intendere che potrebbero pubblicare il disco dopo le date live. Intanto ci godiamo “Every Teardrop Is A Waterfall” (la trovate dopo il salto). Un brano che a un primo ascolto ci sembra modesto, senza troppe idee, buono forse come colonna sonora dell’estate, ma lontanissimo dai risultati migliori della band. A voi il giudizio.

I TURN THE MUSIC UP, I GOT MY RECORDS ON
I SHUT THE WORLD OUTSIDE UNTIL THE LIGHTS COME ON
MAYBE THE STREETS ALIGHT, MAYBE THE TREES ARE GONE
I FEEL MY HEART START BEATING TO MY FAVOURITE SONG

AND ALL THE KIDS THEY DANCE, ALL THE KIDS ALL NIGHT
UNTIL MONDAY MORNING FEELS ANOTHER LIFE
I TURN THE MUSIC UP
I’M ON A ROLL THIS TIME
AND HEAVEN IS IN SIGHT

I TURN THE MUSIC UP, I GOT MY RECORDS ON
FROM UNDERNEATH THE RUBBLE SING A REBEL SONG
DON’T WANT TO SEE ANOTHER GENERATION DROP
I’D RATHER BE A COMMA THAN A FULL STOP

MAYBE I’M IN THE BLACK, MAYBE I’M ON MY KNEES
MAYBE I’M IN THE GAP BETWEEN THE TWO TRAPEZES
BUT MY HEART IS BEATING AND MY PULSES START
CATHEDRALS IN MY HEART

AND WE SAW OH THIS LIGHT I SWEAR YOU, EMERGE BLINKING INTO
TO TELL ME IT’S ALRIGHT
AS WE SOAR WALLS, EVERY SIREN IS A SYMPHONY
AND EVERY TEAR’S A WATERFALL
IS A WATERFALL
OH
IS A WATERFALL
OH OH OH
IS A IS A WATERFALL
EVERY TEAR
IS A WATERFALL
OH OH OH

SO YOU CAN HURT, HURT ME BAD
BUT STILL I’LL RAISE THE FLAG

OH
IT WAS A WA WA WA WA WA-ATERFALL
A WA WA WA WA WA-ATERFALL

EVERY TEAR
EVERY TEAR
EVERY TEARDROP IS A WATERFALL

EVERY TEAR
EVERY TEAR
EVERY TEARDROP IS A WATERFALL
