I ran away

Yes !!

CORRECT ! But that's not what I meant :D

No. You need to find out what Ghost Story (the song) is in relation to ASFOS (the song). Don't think about lyrics. Think about releases...

No..

But I'm gonna be very generous with plain hints now so that we can get through it quickly !

It's far from being solved I'm afraid :-/

No...look again closely at the two songs mentioned.

Yes ! A Sky Full Of Stars. Don't think too much about the lyrics here. What is Ghost Story to A Sky Full Of Stars ?

OK, I make it easier for us to move forward. When you look up at night and you see the moon, what is it surrounded by ? There is a song title for just that.

Awww Nie you have the best theories ever but it is never the connection that I thought of ! :D This is a good idea. Now can you rephrase that a bit ? And then you will see that Ghost Story relates to it in a very simple way...

Live 2003 Tour Diary ! You can find many short clips like the ones out of Live 2012, but only rarely can you find a 45 min length docu about Coldplay ! DVD menu of Live 2003 vs. DVD menu of Live 2012

Chris mentioned in an interview that you can see which songs work well live by observing when you can see the light of the exit door all the time (i.e. no one going out) as opposed to when it is blocked (people going out for restroom breaks). brain

I thought Blur didn't exist anymore since the late 1990s !

Dont try to find a random place. We already know the target is on the moon. If you look up at night, where can you see the moon ? Find a term for that. And then find out what Ghost Story is in relation to it !

Oh no, I can see it! I just reuploaded it in a different way, can you see it now ?

Unfortunately not, although your ideas clearly make me realize how many Coldplay songs touch upon the same themes :D So, where can the moon be found ? Think of a term for that. And then answer the question, what is Ghost Story in relation to that term ?

Chris: "Ahahaha, isn't it beautiful here ?" Will: "I hope they take that photo now. Can't stare any longer. Besides, there's too many leaves around my head. And it is a little windy." Guy: "...and later today I might take a look at that car. Tonight I'll need to shop groceries again...I think I need cheese, milk, cornflakes,..." Jonny: "OH MAN, his hand is only inches from mine. Now if I'd surreptitiously slip my hand into his... "

Didn't know you were that young, @AMDB9 ! :D

Today I came across a bullsh*** headline like "Jay-Z FURIOUS over Beyonce participation in Coldplay Superbowl Show" and the subtitle was something like "Will Beyonces collaboration with Coldplay cause her marital problems ?" Didn't bother to click on it...

I vote for AHFOD Birds for the win !!

Here's a new clue for you: If the target is the on the moon (as we found out through the decoded first sentence), can anyone decode what it means "what a secret everybody knows is to the place that you got found" ? I'll help you along: "Place that you got found" is a nod to Speed Of Sound, but that is actually misleading (not what it seems...) Remember, the target is on the moon. "Secret everybody knows" has already correctly been decoded as being from Ghost Story. So what is the latter in relation to the former (place where you got found) ?

@Nie : Interesting theory, I like it ! But unfortunately not what I thought of...

Hey, sorry for my absence ! I am extremely busy these days. I didn't have time to look through and respond to all posts in detail yet but @iamsue correctly decoded the first sentence !!! "Lying in the gutter, aiming for the moon". However, the solution is not Up&Up. Keep going !

No.... Tip: Trust me, it's nearly impossible to guess the song from the riddle itself if you have not worked through it and combined the different pieces of information that you will uncover. (I say nearly because of course if people keep guessing random Coldplay songs one of them will be the right one, but that's not the way to go about this :) )

If you have a view from the ground and are aiming at something, where is your target most likely located ? And is this imagery familiar to anyone ? For it should be ;) (This game is epic. Thank you all for guessing, I hope you're having fun while holding onto the mystery - I am certainly having fun ! :))
