beautiful. i love how their faces brush one another at 1:53 and the lingering at 3:30. they find escape in eachother in the bleakest world possible... i adore this.
Whenever I listen to this song I think of being younger, when so much of the world was still a wonderful mystery to us. And we were just happy to revel in the mysteries of life; the feeling of the summer sun on your face lying on the cool grass, or the wonderous mystery of watching things grow and change. When I watch this song, despite being college educated and knowing how plants grow and not having the time to sit on the grass and feel the sun, this song helps me recapture some of that. :)
A very impressive video. Although I prefer the official one more (in the way of art [chalk drawings]), I _really like_ the story this video tells. For me, it expresses how you just can 'dive' into other people by watching them and getting to know them because of their gestures, their movements. On (underground) trains one - or at least me - often is in a situation where one thinks about other passengers, their behaviour and judge them. You think of being in their situation and so on, you know?!
i guess this video means that love can be found and lost when and where you least expect it... personally i think its kinda creepy, but very emotional too...il have to see what kind of crazy shit happens to me when i go to london on january...
I dont know why but i love this song. the way it flows. it feels like its moving through my veins. through my body. just there. it makes me happy. and it puts me in a state of calm that i have not felt before. it makes me feel like everything at this very point is perfect. its beautiful. i love the video as well, and how you can see the fingerprints imprinted on the clay like it is an idividual trademark and gives a sense of reality for me. Coldplay<3
@Flashgordon1946 I feel the exact same way, but you actually put it into words. I love the fingerprints xD on the people's faces xD. Coldplay is my favorite band of all time. Its just amazing what coldplay can do.
I truly love this. Awsome feel throughout, and the claymation feel is just great. Love it. Makes me want to see more of this "style". Im guessing 3D, but the feel is just so claymation I cant really differentiate it.
услышал песню буквально 10 минут назад. Поразил её смысл, т.к. и со мной сколько уже раз происходило такое, когда ты знаешь, что ещё минута и ты больше никогда её не увидишь, да и телефона не знаешь, а она тоже смотрит на тебя, но очередная остановка и вы расстаётесь...

cloudless eve staring to the heart of its soul... good night... till spring time again and the flowers will rejoice while the angels harvests its joys upon the petals of december...
fading sensations and melancholy of sadness... longings and pleasantness of a vivid imaginations soars as thier pale words of love deters thru the ages of days... embraced by love and contentments.. beacons and lives... thru ages...
Great animation,I've seriously nothing bad to say about it and i think that the last part when they ''fly'' together and when they curl on themselves i ''beautiful'' because it's so symbolic of love ! But unfortunately it doesn't work...It's just banal and strange...I expected something ''wonderful'' and ''peaceful'' with a song like that...The lyrics/music and the video don't work together =/
@Lautnergirl0425... its called surrealism, it means that it expresses something that may seem nonsense, but it actually has a very deep message, in this case, that love is found in the places you less expect it...
i agree watch it high it is badass! and yea i dunno man its fuckin trippy. i love it stoned or sober. it sends such an intense message! MUCH better then the original!
n this story, you have a man and woman who seem very alike, but the only way they EVER touch is through their faces. The artists have taken a concept of strangers only ever touching with a glance, and made it so that that glance, is much more intimate.
Well, there are several perspectives from which to look at this video. Perhaps first and maybe the most important way, artistically. You most certainly cannot say that this animation is not creative, artistic and really quite well done. Smooth claymation and very interesting imagery for a song that has meaning on its own, but could have many meanings attached to it. (continued in next comment)
"whit is this shit"???? .. ahem, well, its the new Coldplay song ( fantastic), and somebody has made a brilliant animation that is just as good, if not better than the official video, .. the underground clips are pretty amazing.
I can see that this video will go right over some people's heads, but what the heck, they can stick to Britney Spears video's. THIS WAS ABSOLUTE CLASS!!
I LOVE this vid! Its like the perfect story for me, I do understand it! I think everyone can paste their own story to this animation. I love love love love it.
I think they mean we all are connected each other, although sometimes we feel so lonely. Two trains are ADN and archeological remains are our history. The two passengers are ourselves wanting to let our feelings and emotions out.
woookay really freaky but very cool animation.. and i agree with catarosenbaum.. i love the fact that the animators left their fingerprints literally.. good one
