Wedding Bells (Previously Unreleased) - Single

The song "Wedding Bells" by Coldplay is an unreleased track that was presumed to be included in their project known as "The Wedding Album." This album was intended to follow their fourth studio album, "Viva la Vida or Death and All His Friends," and was planned for release in December 2009/2010 but was eventually scrapped due to creative conflicts². 

The concept for "The Wedding Album" was later repurposed for Coldplay's eighth studio album, "Everyday Life," which was released on 22 November 2019. The album took an acoustic, organic, and experimental alternative rock direction¹. It's interesting to note that the acoustic intro featured on "Arabesque" from "Everyday Life" (from 0:13 to 0:28) is from the original recording sessions of "The Wedding Album"².

Perhaps the one of the saddest songs in the Coldplay set, this unreleased song is sung from the perspective a man watching his one true love getting married to another. This brings out the complex emotions involved in wishing happiness and the best for the person you love, but also wishing that happiness was you. It is an extremely tragic state of mind full of conflicting and crippling feelings.
