No doubt you’ve already heard Coldplay’s ‘Violet Hill’, either here or on FM radio. Not that we listen to FM radio as much as we should, but we imagine it’s fairly ubiquitous. Yeah? Yeah.
Anyway, even if you have heard it there’s still a chance that you’d like to see it, despite it viewing like a Standing on the Shoulder of Giants-era Oasis video for a Standing on the Shoulder of Giants-era Oasis song.
Forever undeterred, DrownedinSound’s going to satisfy your offchance and plug the gap: new video for Viva la Vida or Death and All His Friends’ lead single below.

I really, REALLY hope this video is tongue in cheek.
If not, holy shit.
- What are the wearing?
- What is with the Magnifying glass?
- Serious looking at camera face... NOW!
- i like it when the bald guy lifts the rock.
All in all pretty good fun. ONLY if it is tongue in cheek. Otherwise it is an epic fail.
I hate myself for it...
...but i find myself liking Coldplay quite a lot. I really don't want to, but i do. It's inexplicable.
....
absolutley shite video.
Songs a bit ***tilts hand from side to side***
Please remember
that it was Standing on the Shoulder of Giants - no "s" at the end of Shoulder. This was because, as Liam explained it, the geezer's obviously only got one shoulder.
Right you are
I knew there was some quirk like that in the title but had tried to erase the record from my memory.
Fixxd
Yeah
I wasn't being pedantic for the sake of it, more pointing it out for comedic effect. I just thought it was funny!
....
wasn't teh story that Noel saw it on a two pound coin, then wrote it on a box of cigarettes (who the fuck writes something they want to remember on a box of cigarettes) the instead of writing Album Title, he wrote A Bum Title, and thought that was so funny he thought it must be a sign.
D.I. Tosh
!!
That one with the hat
annoys me for no obvious reason.
..
i like the bit at the end of this song. when its just the piano and chris martin singing in that melancholy way that he does. and the bit at the beginning that sounds like brian eno, because it is i suspect. the rest, not keen. it is not all bad, and doesn't deserve a critical mauling because it is coldplay.
also, on a purely superficial level. guy berryman. my lord, he is a handsome man.
This is like a shitter version of that
Kasabian video.
And like a shitter version of every other Coldplay song.
i was going to make a joke about them
looking like kasabian extras but i won't now
that was
WACKY
i like the song more than anything from x+y, but that video was head mental
i liked them better when
they were ripping off Kraftwerk
FUCKING DREADFUL SONG
FUCKING DREADFUL VIDEO
FUCKING DREADFUL BAND
