moshepop Posted May 16, 2008 Share Posted May 16, 2008 Talk about 4 guys doing goofy things, on a hill, playing around the piano, and falling into snow on their backs. Watch the two videos: The Beatles, Ticket to Ride: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EsXta-92KUI Coldplay, Violet Hill: http://www.musiqlub.nl/index.php?section=searchword&type=clips&genre=pop&artist=62&play=10039 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mimixxx Posted May 16, 2008 Share Posted May 16, 2008 Maybe that was the intention, The Beatles were certainly the first thing that came into my head when I watched it. :idea2: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tonsu Posted May 16, 2008 Share Posted May 16, 2008 A clear influence indeed! I can also see a few similarities with the Strawberry Fields vid, and coincidentally I'm going to where it was shot later this afternoon: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ywg-PdeGVL0 Also quite similar names no, Strawberry Fields and Violet Hill?

Flying Sparks Posted May 16, 2008 Share Posted May 16, 2008 Wow =) Never realized it.. Definitely loads of similarities =) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reym12 Posted May 16, 2008 Share Posted May 16, 2008 Very Fab Four-esque... Its actually striking. Along with the comparison between the all videos, the first thing I thought when i saw them walking on the hill was "That looks just like U2, Joshua Tree Era, very Corbijn-esque." It's just in the style and fashion and location that U2 used for that album and the videos and photography that came out of that era. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, and if you see the alternate video for Violet Hill, the one with the "dancing presidents" it's just like Window In The Skies. http://www.coldplaying.com/forum/showthread.php?t=44993 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eFlat Posted May 17, 2008 Share Posted May 17, 2008 Yes definitely the part at the end where Chris is being goofy in the snow! Reminded me of the Beatles... :cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
