Hey guys!

Welcome to the 4th step of our Subreddit Album project!

If you don't know what the Subreddit Album is, I invite you to see this

Last time we voted for the track list and background of the album. The winner is… /u/askyfullofstars ! (33%)

Thanks to the 21 people who took part to the poll! I assume only a few people have voted because there was a bunch of stuff to read.

Complete results here: http://imgur.com/YgHgSvZ

Background

In Politik, the narrator is longing for love, freedom, and courage. So he closes his eyes and dreams of paradise to escape from his oppressive situation, and later far-flung places like the Osaka sun, resolving that "I have no doubt / one day the sun will come out" (Lovers in Japan). With this hope, he goes on an adventure, stealing a car and going "downtown where the lost boys meet". They run riot and go to a large party with "all the boys, all the girls". The night winds down with the piano solo at the end of Charlie Brown... and then suddenly, wham! He meets a girl and she's like "A Sky Full of Stars", an explosion of light and hope, everything he ever wanted. They go "talking, sitting in a strawberry swing" and it was such a perfect day. He falls for her and for a while she is "home, home where I wanted to go" (Clocks). But here is when things take a turn. They live in a war-torn world and he has to leave for battle, even though he doesn't want to be a soldier. "There we sat in snow, all that time she was silent still" (Violet Hill), he tells her the news, and she doesn't say a thing and lets him go. He feels like he "used to rule the world" but now in the morning he "sleeps alone" (Viva la Vida) and promises he will "learn from his mistakes" (Fix You). After the battle he comes up to meet her again and wishes to go back to the start (The Scientist), but she doesn't feel the same anymore. He's upset, he wants to burn down the past and forget he ever left her (A Rush of Blood to the Head), Ultimately he knows that trying his best won't succeed, and that he was just too in love to let it go. He starts anew and acknowledges that he can be hurt bad, however he will keep his chin up and still "raise the flag" (Every Teardrop is a Waterfall). But even then as he tries to "get out of this hole", he's still stuck, he can't let go, and he's "on his way back down again".

What now? I am going to ask you two things in this post.

First I'd like you to suggest a title for our album. I know you will be imaginative! Secondly an album art made by the Subreddit artists would be awesome!

If you guys could take a little time to produce a beautiful album art, I'm sure you can do wonders. So, please post your ideas for titles as comments and PM me your album arts!

The next post will be a poll to determine which name and which album art we are going to use!

Then, we will have to stream our album.

Thanks for reading and supporting the project, it is a real delight to organize this! If you have any questions or suggestions, feel free to ask in comments.

PS: Thanks again to /u/wjw42 , /u/Dustygusher , and /u/TheCubeGeneral for participating in the last posts.

See you on Friday for the next step!
