Hey, does anyone know what the times of the gig? When the doors open, support acts come on, Coldplay come on.

London, UK (Coldplay's home town!) Tough choice... but has to be Viva La Vida

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.

On first impressions, I agree with others. It's more mysterious sounding than I was expecting, and Will's use of drum pads rather than real physical drums is apparent. I wish the guitar solo was clearer like in the live performances (it sounds quite muffled in comparison), but I love how the song builds as it progresses, like Coldplay's previous songs.

I find it utterly beautiful. Maybe the lyrics could be better, but the hook of "carry your world" is great, and the build up sent goosebumps the first time I heard it. Nice small solo by Jonny too at the end.

That's fantastic!! Really lovely story.

Had to go for Viva La Vida, but Violet Hill was a VERY close second place.
