Longinus Posted March 3, 2014 Share Posted March 3, 2014 All of the past albums have included a track with the same name as the album, even if it's only a short little thing like "Parachutes" or "Mylo Xyloto." Ghost Stories doesn't appear to have one, at this point. Could it be one of the bonus tracks, or a hidden song? Or have they simply not bothered with that this time 'round?

Miha Posted March 3, 2014 Share Posted March 3, 2014 It could be one of the hidden songs, if there are any. But maybe it's time to start something new, and not including the title as the title song may be one of those new things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TraceOddity Posted March 3, 2014 Share Posted March 3, 2014 No title song, no colour song, unless they're bonus/hidden tracks. And since Coldplay pay close attention to detaila, they likely haven't left these off by mistake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Linus Posted March 3, 2014 Share Posted March 3, 2014 looking at the other 5 albums with all the hidden tracks and album/song having the same name, there is deffo gonna be a hidden track called "Ghost Stories" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue Nails Posted March 3, 2014 Share Posted March 3, 2014 Oh good point! Interesting. Or should I say, ghostly... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanielRobertHiggins Posted March 3, 2014 Share Posted March 3, 2014 Not only could it be a hidden track, but Target is exclusively selling the "Deluxe Edition" of the album, including three currently unknown songs...it could easily be one of those. Although I really wish the iTunes album I already pre-ordered came with those songs.

the_escapist Posted March 3, 2014 Share Posted March 3, 2014 Don't count on the hidden tracks. It is VERY probable that they will be live versions of songs that are already on the album. For example, that was the case in the special edition of MX which was released in Japan. Regarding the lack of a song called Ghost Stories, there's always a first time. Probably, it was time for them not to include a song called as the album. Ghost Stories are the theme of the album. Hence, maybe that is why it is not featured as a song.

Linus Posted March 3, 2014 Share Posted March 3, 2014 is target the only place to get the bonus tracks on a CD? and is it reliable? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Philosopher Posted March 4, 2014 Share Posted March 4, 2014 There will be a ghost hidden in the album. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Lonely Martian Posted March 4, 2014 Share Posted March 4, 2014 Don't know why it's surprising that the album isn't eponymous. Albums and EPs don't have to be named after tracks, you know! :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Longinus Posted March 4, 2014 Author Share Posted March 4, 2014 Don't know why it's surprising that the album isn't eponymous. Albums and EPs don't have to be named after tracks, you know! :P I know, it's just different from all of their previous albums, which always featured some sort of title track. So it's a break in a pattern, whether that actually means anything or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanielRobertHiggins Posted March 4, 2014 Share Posted March 4, 2014 At least in North America, I believe it's the only place you can get it. It seems kinda stupid to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mage12 Posted March 19, 2014 Share Posted March 19, 2014 19 March 2014 / submitted by Gabe, United States of America Q. How come there is no self titled Ghost Stories track? Since every album so far has a self titled track. Thanks Oracle! THE ORACLE REPLIES > Who said there isn't? Maybe there is... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jc90 Posted March 19, 2014 Share Posted March 19, 2014 This just makes things even more confusing. Assuming that Ghost Stories is a hidden track now, why would they make it only available to Target customers in the US and not make it part of the regular track listing?

laxwatcher Posted March 19, 2014 Share Posted March 19, 2014 Maybe it's a hidden track. It could be one of the three exclusive tracks. I don't know it's weird but the band seem to be following many popular American artists nowadays and giving Target an exclusive release. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jc90 Posted March 19, 2014 Share Posted March 19, 2014 Pree sure the odds are that it is a hidden track. I mean, why would the oracle answer it in such an ambiguous way? The oracle could very easily shut down that rumour like when someone asked whether they would play Glastonbury this year. I quote, "Coldplay are definitely not playing Glasto this summer". Boom, end of discussion. When someone asked about the hidden track, the oracle could have easily shut it down and said "no, there was never a goal of trying to make a track with the same name as the album every time, blah blah blah." but no, he said maybe there is. He didn't confirm it, but he sure as hell didnt deny it either when it could have been done easily. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Philosopher Posted March 19, 2014 Share Posted March 19, 2014 As I said in other thread, I think that one of the bonus tracks will be Ghost Stories. Or maybe a hidden track, in honour to its name! And like someone said, if there was only a rumour, the Oracle surely would have denied it, like when someone asked if Another's Arms was going to be a duet and the anwer was no.

MosesTheMarshmallow Posted March 19, 2014 Share Posted March 19, 2014 ^O-hohohoho. :lol: WHAT IF.....the album is called "Ghost Stories" because every song has a hidden track that we don't know about yet, a ghost song if you will. :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WeddingDom Posted March 19, 2014 Share Posted March 19, 2014 Ghost Stories will be a hidden track at the end of the album just like The Escapist and 'Till Kingdom Come, IMO. I hope so... :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dagavi Posted March 20, 2014 Share Posted March 20, 2014 WHAT IF.....the album is called "Ghost Stories" because every song has a hidden track that we don't know about yet, a ghost song if you will. :p Good shout. That would be really cool :) On Amazon they list Ghost Stories after 'O', but not like a song, more like.. an additional thing. Maybe the CD will come with a booklet/book full of ghost stories?
