September 4, 201411 yr wHY THE FUCK DID THEY SCRATCH THIS ONE WHY WHY it't the perfect blend of the Clocks video, the short commercial song of Viva with all the colours everywhere, and the epicness of the freaking space and stars and all that. Can't wait to get the HD version somewhere to drool over these fancy shmancy graphics Chris is doing his dancing on AHHH Where did you guys find the video anyway? :surprised: And all the nice shots of the ENTIRE band! oh and uhhh epic beard on Will is epic :wideeyed: like

September 5, 201411 yr THIS IS, pretty much, WHAT I JUST SAID Oh well, I didn't read the previous comments, I was too excited and instantly started typing away :lol:
September 5, 201411 yr It's so funny how a vid can guide your perception of a song. I feel like I am more in love with the song now with this new vid than the previous one. I feel the same exact way. And this is literally how I pictured the video would be and was a little bummed out when it wasn't. Don't get me wrong, I love the official one, but this is just amazing. Makes me appreciate the song and want to jump around even more! :dance:
September 5, 201411 yr I thought the official ASFOS video is one a band would make for a "lesser" single. Usually bands only do that live style for a small-release single. ASFOS was made for the original! There are seconds in the video that I could see Chris wanting to redo but the original is mostly fantastic! Reminiscent of the VLV commercial :D.
September 5, 201411 yr Other than the kind of cheesy Chris flying part which looked kind of awkward, I think this music video is far more fitting to the music and is really quite lovely all the same. The street march is fun, but would have been far more charming for another song, maybe one in which they were ACTUALLY PLAYING the instruments that they are toting around instead of fake strumming while heavy synths are the only thing really distinguishable.
September 5, 201411 yr Ahh, this was exactly the music video I imagined Coldplay would do when I first heard this song. It's similar in ways to Speed of Sound, and maybe they didn't want the video to feel generic. At the same time, they may have missed the crowd energy that the song can bring, and felt that needed to be expressed as it was in the official video. I like elements of both, but this alternate video is exactly what I imagined, and I do really like it.
September 5, 201411 yr the original video is epic!!! one of their best videos... the official one is ridiculous compared to this
September 5, 201411 yr This original version made me smile. The Aussie one is too sunny and bright and....happy.
September 5, 201411 yr I love alternative/original version, visual affects are so awesome! :dazzled: It's kind of a “good old Coldplay video”, reminds me of Clocks so much.
September 5, 201411 yr Both videos are great, I prefer this alternate version because it compliments the song very well. It has a certain charm about it and reminds me a bit of the Viva La Vida iTunes advert.
September 6, 201411 yr Wow - this new one took my breath away - it's so more appropriate to the song. I love it. Thanks for finding and posting it. The Aussy street one was fun and made me smile - they looked so embarrassed doing it !
September 6, 201411 yr Really like the alternate version, I think it fits the song better than the official video
September 6, 201411 yr What a shame! You really have to wonder who makes these decisions. A huge error on the part of the band if they collectively agreed to not use this.

I think alot of it is how chris says they have been sticking to their guts. They probably had a certain feeling about the song (which was obviously lighter) and this one was too serious.

September 27, 201411 yr Both videos are great, I prefer this alternate version because it compliments the song very well. It has a certain charm about it and reminds me a bit of the Viva La Vida iTunes advert. Exactly what I thought too. I could have really seen this as an ad for the song on iTunes.
October 5, 201411 yr dont know the official date.. but just hoping that it will be released soon.. :thinking flash slots
November 9, 201411 yr I just hoped that the alternate version will be released on the live album, kinda hoped for them to add more scenes or edited more to make it more beautiful and sturdy because for me this is what I'd pictured ASFOS since it was first released.
December 16, 201411 yr I prefer the original video. This one looks amazing but is repetitive. Agreed. At first I was like "wow why didn't they use this?!" But then I realized that about halfway through it stopped being interesting because it was just repeating what had happened in the first half of the video.
February 23, 201511 yr Does anyone know who directed the alternate video of ASFOS? A production company known as Artisan: http://artisan.co.uk/work/coldplay Never seen that before gives a bit of background on the video, some stills aswell just click on them!!
