Trying to get me to pick my favourite Coldplay song is just like getting a mother to pick her favourite child…but if I had to pick a few, it would be Yellow, Fix You, Lovers in Japan and Us Against the World. What is your favorite Coldplay lyric? Song? Album? Of course, if it happens that a non-fan finds the envelope accidentally, hopefully it draws them to Coldplay and they become fans. I think it's a great promotional concept since it's a rather exciting way of revealing new lyrics. What do you think of the lyrics hunt concept? I was initially in disbelief since earlier that morning I was doubting the fact that they might have hidden one of those elusive envelopes in my country and I didn't actually think that I could have found the lyrics since my little quest for the lyrics was simply a spur of the moment decision. What did you think when you found the lyrics?
I'm pretty sure there were other fans searching for the lyrics at the library although I couldn't really identify them since, you know, most other people in the library are looking for books too. Of course we talked for a bit afterwards, and then we read the lyrics and the letter that came with it together. I'm not sure if the librarians knew about the lyric hunt since most of them didn't seem too suspicious of me - silently - stomping (creeping) around the library.There was this other girl hunting for the lyrics right opposite the shelf where the book was and I didn't actually realize that she was a fan until I found the lyrics and she came over to look at it. Were there other people at the library looking? Did the librarians know about it? While on my way there I was looking through the replies to the clue Coldplay tweeted (since fans from other countries were suggesting a few possible books where the clue could be hidden in) and going through the library database search available online, which saved me quite some time in the library. What happened was that I was in the downtown area where the library was located with my friend when I saw the tweet so it didn't take too long for me to get to there. Well I found the envelope within an hour since anchorman tweeted the clue. How long did it take you to solve the clue when you saw it? How did you know what/where it was? Seems like Coldplay was revisiting the colonial spirit of their country's proudest legacy, the British Empire! And like the proud explorers of those heady days of the Empire, they also had us wondering where they would go next…ĮXCLUSIVE: Noisey reached out to whose real name is Rachel, and landed an EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW over email about the find: She tweeted that she was going to frame them. It was great news for Coldplay fans, but, alas, for the satisfaction was limited to the excitement of finding the lyrics. The mysterious Anchorman also laid out the rules on Twitter, in English and Español:

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. 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.Īs each one is discovered, a photo of that particular lyric sheet will be posted, for everyone to see.
