the_escapist Posted April 28, 2014 Share Posted April 28, 2014 Ghost Stories lyrics hidden in libraries worldwide 28 April 2014 1:20 pm Fans asked to help unveil handwritten lyrics Good afternoon. The band have decided to reveal the lyrics for all nine songs from the upcoming Ghost Stories album by hiding Chris’s handwritten lyric sheets in libraries worldwide. The lyrics will be hidden in ghost story books in libraries in nine countries, located across the planet. Clues to the exact locations of the lyrics will be posted from today on the band’s Twitter account - twitter.com/coldplay - using the hashtag #lyricshunt. Fans will be encouraged to help solve the clues and visit their local library to see if they can find an envelope containing one of the unique lyrics sheets. As each one is discovered, a photo of that particular lyric sheet will be posted, for everyone to see. One of the hidden envelopes also contains a special Golden Ticket, giving the finder (and a guest) a free trip to London to see Coldplay perform at the Royal Albert Hall on 1 July.

The Philosopher Posted April 28, 2014 Share Posted April 28, 2014 Amazing! I just don't love Coldplay because of their music and what they mean, I also love them because of these crazy ideas! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rafaelchampion Posted April 28, 2014 Share Posted April 28, 2014 Oh let me guess. No Brazil on the list. Can't say it's not acceptable though. Better, actually. Someone would probably STEAL the book. (It's my country I'm talking about) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Philosopher Posted April 28, 2014 Share Posted April 28, 2014 Let me guess the 9 countries participating: Canada, United States, Germany, the Netherlands, Germany, Japan, France, Spain and Australia. Oh God, Germany would be too lucky if they had the double of possibilities. I guess that you were going to type Italy? Plus I don't know if maybe China and some country of Africa and South America must have a chance, they also deserve to have at least one possibility.

Batman Posted April 28, 2014 Share Posted April 28, 2014 If they left a note in Germany I'd feel lucky and bad at the same time. Since we already got 2 Coldplay gigs playing here... BUT STILL OMG WHAT IF :bomb: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
