Truthfully, this may just be my favorite Coldplay song of all time, it’s well on its way to claiming that prize. I’ve loved it since first listen and it has been on repeat in my iTunes for far too long now.
“We’re just following the things we love. The video we did before, for ‘Every Teardrop Is a Waterfall,’ we did with our friend Mat [Whitecross], who is the most indie of indie filmmakers. It’s just nice when you can try both approaches.
