Coldplay has already insinuated that A Head Full of Dreams would be its last album, and it’s safe to say they’re going all out for it.
The British band debuted the music video for “Up&Up” and the epic, movie-like video features awe-inducing imagery. The band, with the help of directors Vania Heymann and Gal Muggia, turn seemingly ordinary activities and images into the extraordinary. Up is down, down is up; normally large concepts have been miniaturized and vice versa.
The result is something altogether magical, but considering the last video involved BeyoncĂ©, fans probably expected an epic follow up. It’s clear the band is trying to find some perspective, as lead singer Chris Martin lies on top of a space-eye view of Earth. In another scene, band member Guy Berryman plays the guitar in the mountains, appearing as large as the rocky peaks.
Coldplay’s “Up&Up” music video also features an eagle flying underwater, popcorn popping out of volcano instead of lava and oil rigs floating in a family’s bowl of soup. All of your Super Mario Kart dreams come true when cars begin to drive around the rings of Saturn.
