October 25, 200916 yr Hello there - as an avid Coldplay fan I had checked Tappin Gofton's website some time ago. For anyone who doesn't know who they are - they are the official Coldplay's art designers, they help the band with their artwork, and it's a collaborative effort. This time their website works, and under the 'work' section, you can now see Coldplay and Viva La Vida sketchbook. I know that isn't too exciting. But the part I loved most was that some of the pictures had lyrics printed on the paper, which was then made into a painting of some sorts. You can see a few of the lyrics for LRLRL and Famous Old Painters if you've got very sharp eyes cause' it's sadly a jpeg and not really big! There's also some Lhuna, Lukas (I guessed it by the lyric 'another million') on a few pictures. Also some pictures look practically the same, by that I mean the same setlist. Perhaps it was an alternative songlist for the Viva La Vida album? Here's the link http://www.tappingofton.com/#/Work/Coldplay/Viva La Vida Sketchbook ps - Coldplay mysteries - they never go away :D I've tried to screenshot as many as i could but it's really hard :\ . Could someone show me the famous old painters one with lyrics? I probably missed that one. I don't think it's all of them and there's probably duplicates but anyway here they are: File Name: Viva Sketchbook.zip Size: 69MB | http://www.sendspace.com/file/fr5er1Hey guys. I did this if its easier for people :nice:.
October 25, 200916 yr Awesome, I had not seen that before. I was completely mesmerized by the slideshow, but I'm sure a few dedicated fans will be analyzing the details of each slide. Thanks for sharing! :)
October 25, 200916 yr Some of these paint splatters are just ridiculously pretty, I love the Viva La Vida artwork.
October 25, 200916 yr Author I'm just so sorry that everything we get, it's not enough..it's only a few words...if we actually got Famous Old Painters lyrics, we would, I'm sure, at one point see it being released. Phil would convince them to get it out! :D
October 25, 200916 yr :thumbsup: thanks for the link! now, its just making me wonder why Coldplay chose to remove Famous Old Painters from the album? the artist already had like 3 sketches for it! :thinking:
October 25, 200916 yr Author this had to be a f****** awesome song; I've had a look at one of the paintings with lyrics and it has a written line 'Gachet/Adeline', which is a reference to Vincent Van Gogh and to two of his paintings - Portrait of Dr Gachet and Portrait of Adeline Ravoux!!! :stunned:

October 25, 200916 yr Omg. :stunned: This is so awesome. I love this so much, thank you for the link. :nice:

October 25, 200916 yr I have a sad feeling that LRLRL has a chorus like this: Oh, take me back to where I belong Take me back to where I left Going left right left right left right left right left On the endless U-turn that is Death Going left right left right left right left right left On the endless U-turn that is Death
