June 19, 201412 yr I see a Love button on Chris in the video that's on the screens, so definitely something we haven't seen yet.
June 19, 201412 yr I expected more koala-ness :P Wait, I dont see Phil wearing koala costume in the video...?
June 19, 201412 yr Wait, I dont see Phil wearing koala costume on the video...? You can only see his head in a short second, where the band arrives at the crowd
June 19, 201412 yr Honestly I don't really like it. After the disaster that was Charlie Brown I thought they're gonna ditch the whole sugary rainbow balloons kinda thing. You compare it to "Where the streets have no name" or "I Still Haven't Found..." and its almost laughable. But then again that is U2 we're talking about. Anyway there are much better songs on the album that could have replaced ASFOS as a single but since the band is trying to push the whole pop mainstream image I guess it wouldn't have worked out.
June 19, 201412 yr It's fun and bright, but I think it's the wrong concept for this song. The performance from the Ghost Stories TV special is much better, with the stunning green sky and stars on the surround screens over their heads. That clip is how I think of this song. The clip on the video monitors here where Chris stops definitely looks like another ASFOS video. It has the circular dancing Chris does. By the way, for all you lucky Royal Albert Hall people, I bet there will be some great video screens there, in part because the building is round. It will be epic. You can see Chris' bodyguard a few times late in this video.
June 19, 201412 yr Some one was bitching that Coldplay didn't give the US an opportunity to be in the video. My response: "You got the deluxe album, you got the Target stars, you had 2 shows in your country, the exclusive New York show where they filmed the Ghost Stories DVD was done in the US a couple of months back and your shows have had the longest setlists of the entire tour. SHAME THERE IS NO OPPORTUNITY FOR ANYONE IN SOUTH AMERICA. " People who made the kind of comments you mentioned make us look like spoiled,selfish Americans. Hope you know we aren't all like that!! I thought it was a shame the Target edition was only released here; are there no Targets outside of the U.S?? Anyways, not trying to wave the flag or anything,just trying to show some empathy.
June 19, 201412 yr Its very fun and uplifting, really liked it :D Was hoping for a bit more Koala too though ;)
June 19, 201412 yr In all honesty, this video is much much better muted. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

June 19, 201412 yr I still don't get why people hate Charlie Brown video so much when it just captured the whole feeling of the MX era so well
June 20, 201412 yr I still don't get why people hate Charlie Brown video so much when it just captured the whole feeling of the MX era so well One of the few non-performance videos of theirs that I really like. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Haha, I know now all Americans aren't all like that, I'm by not means a stereotype :) There's just a couple that need a good cuff round the head.
June 20, 201412 yr are there no Targets outside of the U.S?? hope that line is a joke, we've spent pages and pages on this forum complaining about Target only selling it to USA and not being a international store... LOL back to ASFOS, I'm glad that they didn't do David Guetta/Avicii-like and the reason that there's no mention (visually, except that quick koala scene) of Australia is that it could happen anywhere in the world :)

We just got a few Targets here in Canada. They weren't/aren't doing so well and I thought this exclusive Coldplay-Target scheme would help Target Canada get back from the red zone, but they really blew it by not letting Target Canada have it...its almost as if they want to fail
June 20, 201412 yr In my humble opinion, this one is one of their worst music videos ever. Come on, there's Princess Of China, Viva La Vida (which is just sooo boring), The Hardest Part is weird as hell... yes this one is not that great, but I think it's fun and goes well with the song.
June 20, 201412 yr Bright, funny and joyful!!! It could have been better, of course, but I like it :) btw, I dislike CB video so much.

Not a big fan of PoC, VlV or THP either. But its his opinion so hey, who cares if someone likes it or loves it even. Others' opinion on things shouldn't change our own views.
June 20, 201412 yr I LOVED the music video! It made my day and put a smile upon my face. How can't you not be happy after watching this? Well done Coldplay! Can a moderator add a poll to this thread please? :)
