David Gilmour Song Lyrics in Newspaper Articles & Live Broadcast

The song lyrics for David Gilmour’s 5th studio album Luck and Strange were shared across UK regional newspapers for a competition. If you were able to find all 6 David Gilmour song lyrics in the newspapers and email in to a special email address, you were entered into a competition to win a signed Deluxe copy of the new album. This innovative contest highlighted David Gilmour song lyrics in newspapers and what a great way to reveal the lyrics to the new songs although some fans may wish to put the LP on and listen to the full album for the first time without reading the lyrics first.

Here are the newspaper clippings below in case you wanted to see them. The competition is now over so no need to email them to the competition email address [email protected]. David posted, “The signed box sets have all been claimed but check out those newspapers – and the South Wales Echo, Cambridge News, Daily Record, Manchester Evening News and Birmingham Mail – for the printed David Gilmour song lyrics.”

Don’t Miss David Gilmour Live Broadcast

This is an event not to miss for those who enjoyed David Gilmour song lyrics in newspaper clippings.

Story of the Lyrics in the Newspaper Articles

David’s twitter account posted that, “The full lyrics to the songs from David’s new album, Luck and Strange, are to be given their worldwide reveal via adverts published in selected local UK newspapers tomorrow (Thursday, 5th September), ahead of the album’s release on Friday (6th September).” Some fans eagerly anticipated seeing David Gilmour song lyrics in newspaper formats.

There were only six newspaper articles posted on David’s Twitter however it was said, “As an added incentive to fans to track down the lyrics in their local paper, each of the seven newspapers which feature an ad with lyrics will also include the character from the album’s cover art hidden somewhere within its pages.”

There were seven Deluxe box sets available as prizes which have now been claimed. It was posted that, “The first fan to spot each hidden Luck and Strange man who then emails a photo of it (alongside the newspaper name and page number) to [email protected] will win one of seven Deluxe Box Sets of the new album signed by Gilmour himself.”
