Last week, Coldplay performed two songs from their upcoming album at the BBC Radio 1 Live Lounge, both of which seemed to set the stage for an LP with much less EDM bombast than their last, 2011's Mylo Zyloto. Well, think again. Stream "A Sky Full of Stars," Coldplay's new collaboration with Avicii (yes, Avicii) from their impending Ghost Stories above, and check out the song's lyrics below.
This inclusion of an EDM superstar isn't the only trick that Chris Martin and Co. have up their sleeves, as Pitchfork reports that the band is promoting their new album by hiding handwritten song lyrics inside of "ghost story books" and posting clues on their Twitter. So if you happen to be reading a ghost story in the next few weeks, don't be surprised if un-scary phrases like "Remember once upon a time, when I was yours and you were blind / The fire would sparkle in your eyes and mine" greet you from otherwise terrifying pages. Martin, in a Wonka-esque move, also included a "golden ticket" in one book that promises "free trip to see Coldplay at Royal Albert Hall on July 1." Start your engines, folks.
Head over to Coldplay's Zumic artist page for more of their music, news and videos, and check out the lyrics to "A Sky Full of Stars" below.
Coldplay "A Sky Full of Stars" lyrics:
Cause you're a sky, cause you're a sky full of stars
I'm going to give you my heart
Cause you're a sky, cause you're a sky full of stars
Cause you light up the pathI don't care, go on and tear me apart
I don't care if you do
Cause in a sky, cause in a sky full of stars
I think I saw youCause you're a sky, cause you're a sky full of stars
I want to die in your arms, arms
Cause you get lighter the more it gets dark
I'm going to give you my heartAnd I don't care, go on and tear me apart
And I don't care if you do
Cause in a sky, cause in a sky full of stars
I think I see you
I think I see youBecause you're a sky, you're a sky full of stars
Such a heavenly view
Such a heavenly view
