the more i listen to this the more I'm puzzled to why it wasnt on the album!!

Agreeeeeeeeeeee. I think this song should have replaced Ink, and AYF for True Love. Would've made Ghost Stories PERFECT.

Agreed 200%. The music is so knitty-gritty and kinda grunge-y and I absolutely LOVE that. I really hope they play it live sometime as well. My favourite part is when he does the little "YEHHHH" before the chorus, it's SO Chris Martin hahaha

 

That yeah part reminds me of Toronto 2006. He said Yeah multiple times during What If I believe. Sounds nostalgic.

This is def my fav song on GS aside from AIMH. I really did not want to post about it because I felt bad that some ppl did not have the Target version. I love it, rock out to it, have it on constantly. Reminds me of One I love a bit. The guitar is exactly what I needed on this album. I do hope they play it live at some point

 

Agreed 100 %. Best GS era song by far.

 

My favorite bit is the the finale. Starting with Will hitting the drums and then epic Johny solo.

They MUST play this song!

Why does this sound so familiar? Love it

Why does this sound so familiar? Love it

Because it sounds like the Coldplay I fell in love with!

it reminds me a bit of One I Love

Still very very surprised it didn't feature on the album! maybe someone can ask the oracle if he can shed any light on why

Can anyone hear a voice in the ambient bit at the end saying "Come back.." I've been listening to this song on repeat and it's "starting to come clear"..

 

:lol: bad joke I know

Q. Dear Oracle,

 

Seeing that the Ghost Stories tour is over, and it's unlikely to be played at the BBC music awards, do you think Ghost Story will be ever played live? Up to now, it's my favourite song of all time, other than my namesake of course. :^)

 

Sincerely, Eleanor

THE ORACLE REPLIES >

As it wasn't played on the Ghost Stories tour, I can't imagine it being played in the future but it's not something that can be predicted. Never say never.

 

 

 

I really hope they play it at some point

They need to! How they can pass it off and leave it at the bottom of the pile of unplayed songs is just strange.. The lyrics remind me a lot of Shiver but the way they've produced it makes the perfect mixture of old and new...

 

I think it even overtakes Swallowed in the Sea as the most underrated Coldplay song in my opinion :\

little bastards

 

The video is fabulous dammit! :awesome:

Will using his big, large, long drumstick :wink3: :will:

Most of my favourite Coldplay vids are when they perform together, it's all about the chemistry! I can't wait for this :)

This actually sounds so fuckin pervy :blank:

 

 

 

:wink3:

 

 

Well I just might have to start the ole petition to get this song on a future setlist!

Wtf, I just posted on this thread randomly earlier today, later we get a segment of video...

Maybe I should start spamming the LP7 thread :lol:

little bastards

 

 

Ohhhhh I believe...it's just such a hot song. It just sounds so raw and sultry. I just wish it went for longer...

Did anyone else notice the ghost at 0:50?

 

Nice find!

I thought it was Guy at first just in the background doing his thing. But it almost looks like a little boy watching. :Freaky: Guess it is Halloween...
