A finales del pasado mes de abril y a principios de mayo, el grupo de música Coldplay reveló las letras (manuscritas por Chris Martin) de las nueve canciones de su próximo álbum, «Ghost Stories». Dichos documentos estaban escondidos entre libros con temática fantasmagórica de nueve bibliotecas ubicadas por distintas partes del mundo, según cuentan en su página web y han compartido en su perfil de Twitter.

Entre esas bibliotecas se encontraba una biblioteca española, más en concreto la Biblioteca San Pau – Santa Creu de Barcelona, donde se encontró el texto manuscrito de la canción «True Love», además del Golden Ticket que incluía un viaje gratis a Londres para ver Coldplay.

Bibliotecas y libros escogidos por Coldplay

1 MAGIC.Encontrada en la Biblioteca Vasconcelos (Ciudad de México) en el libro A Christmas Carol (en versión española) de Charles Dickens.
