Charlie Brown Video Thoughts

Personally, I don’t think the Charlie Brown video did the incredible song justice. The video does not really follow a story, but the track itself is so meaningful and I just kind of expected more. But some positives are, the flashing lights and vivid colours do match Mylo Xyloto’s overall theme and the upbeat tone of the song, and visually the video is quite stunning. I just was not expecting this kind of average, mainstream video from Coldplay, I was expecting something as extraordinary as the band is. Do not get me wrong, I do not love them any less, I am just a little disappointed.

What did everyone think?

  2. daeh answered: AGREE! I love this song, and the video doesn’t make justice to her.
  3. strawberryswng answered: Agree ): Coldplay could be better than that!
  4. ambitious-dream answered: I was not expecting Coldplay to do a video like this. There were parts I loved but I didn’t love it. They always take risks though!
  5. livin-so-divine answered: I preferred the live video. But the video did reflect the essence of the song - young people having fun (aka a massive party with Coldplay)
  6. levicorpusyourenemies answered: I definitely agree with all of that - it was a very average mainstream song - although I STILL LOVED IT
  7. polarlucky answered: I think maybe no video would do it justice. Some songs are just like that sometimes! :)

  10. liquidlukc answered: Accurate
  11. theampersandofthebaskervilles answered: I’m disappointed. It lost the quirkiness of the Paradise video for a average pop video. You know what I mean?
  12. juslisen answered: It’s pretty obvious it’s directed by Matt Whitecross: photography, concept… That’s why I think it’s a great video!
  13. champy-s answered: After seeing the live version i just expected more than it but i think this video is not as good as it.I’m sorry. i dun like the couple
  14. misguidedportableheart answered: More Jonny, Will, Guy, & Chris. Less couple, less couple kissing. Simple as that.
  15. sleepless-miles answered: Pretty much. Not even that it’s ‘mainstream’: more that we’ve come to expect them to make extraordinary videos, and this one’s just ordinary.
  16. blkrabbitkitty answered: Yeah, my thoughts exactly. I mean- I was expecting more- rather then the couple being all over each other. There was no story to it :(
  17. rockanory answered: I think you know what you’re talking about. Coldplay need to stop conforming to mainstream culture and go back to their roots.
  18. momentary-sinergy answered: Everyone thinks the same…
