November 21, 20196 yr Here's a very interesting article about how the Daddy video was made. It has sketches and pictures of them making the puppets. It also has a behind the scenes video at the end. https://www.aardman.com/blog/behind-craft-coldplay-daddy/

November 21, 20196 yr Got 624,638. Of course it wasn't uploaded at 12 AM but rather 11 AM. So wasn't a full day, NOW today IS A full day.
November 21, 20196 yr Amazing! This song pairs really well with Orphans, and based on the video, I strongly suspect this song is also about refugees. The imagery very strongly evokes for me pictures of refugees on life rafts in the Mediterranean Sea, many of them dying on the water as they escape war and persecution. The song is also excellent musically - it has elements of Fly On and Hypnotised. My only complaint is that it hasn't got as much prominent Jonny electric guitar as on either of the two aforementioned songs. Though I bet in a live version we'll see Jonny is secretly playing a bigger role than we think.
November 21, 20196 yr I love it. The piano section seems rather familiar to a bootleg/unreleased Coldplay track I have tucked away somewhere...anyone think the same|?
November 21, 20196 yr It I love it. The piano section seems rather familiar to a bootleg/unreleased Coldplay track I have tucked away somewhere...anyone think the same|? It reminds a bit of Famous Old Painters, indeed

It It reminds a bit of Famous Old Painters, indeed Yes! Exactly my thought. I’m still mad they didn’t release a version of FOP, though. It’s such a lovely melody.
November 21, 20196 yr This song breaks my heart everytime I hear it. The video is so beautiful. In the long history of brilliant Coldplay videos, this one hits me the hardest. Hauntingly beautiful and a perfect fit for the song!
November 21, 20196 yr Yep. It's the piano from Famous old painters. If you listen to FOP after Daddy it makes a nice reprise!
