Ghost Stories lyrics hidden in libraries worldwide

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.

That is AWESOME!!!!

Holy shit...a bit late for easter but this is fantastic!

this has to be one of the smartest marketing tools ever

Hope we find them all! But I doubt they will make the clues too cryptic so we should be ok.

OH MY GOD THIS IS AWESOME

Just imagine how random dude in library finds that book with lyrics sheet and throws it into trash can because he thought "What the hell is this shit" :lol:

 

But actually this is a REALLY GREAT IDEA :awesome:

What a great idea!

This so wild ! So cool and fun .. I highly doubt edmonton will be on the list LMAO lol

Let me guess the 9 countries participating: Canada, United States, Germany, the Netherlands, Germany, Japan, France, Spain and Australia.

Really fucking cool idea.

What the hell?!

 

That is so fucking random :lol: And cool at the same time.

And now I imagine a shit load of fans roaming all their locals libraries and everyone is like "dafuq are all these random people looking for?!" :laugh3:

COLDPLAY WHY ARE YOU STEALING MY TIME WITH THIS SHIT :bomb:

 

Now I can't work properly! *opens coldplay's twitter*

haha what an awesome idea :D :D

Hhmmm coincidentally, I need to get some papers signed next to a library, might as well take a look right ;-)

Haha what a great stunt by Coldplay

Amazing! I just don't love Coldplay because of their music and what they mean, I also love them because of these crazy ideas!

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)

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.

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:

they hate italy, don't worry, we won't be in the list

"The #lyricshunt libraries aren't all in capitals, or even cities, by the way. Smallest town with some has a population of under 100,000. A"

 

ffs

Watch out Spain :awesome: Or Mexico :awesome:

hahahaha I'm so sure Dubai wasn't even considered :rolleyes: but still, good luck everyone! I can't even imagine how amazing it would be to find the Golden Ticket :stunned:
