Life In Technicolor
From WikiColdplay
Life In Technicolor is the opening track on Coldplay's fourth album.
The song is a rare Coldplay instrumental with no lyrics. The song previously had vocals and lyrics, but they were completely stripped from it in later stages of production, which Chris Martin reportedly did in response to a comment that the song is "the obvious single".
The only known lyric is "Baby, it's a violent world", publicized in a Rolling Stone article about the album, four months before it was released.
Chris Martin: “It’s nice to not have a singer on the first song come in and ruin it. This is our milkman song, the most whistleable thing. We took all the lyrics off because this song was our only safety net.”
Life In Technicolor was illegally leaked onto the internet over a month before the album's release, in the form of a flash video of the band playing the song in studio with producer Brian Eno.
