The British rockers and the K-Pop superstars gave fans a ticket out of reality with this futuristic video that features the boy bands from different plants uniting through holograms and jamming with aliens and robots.
According to reports, Chris Martin and director Dave Meyers’ vision for the music video was a science fiction story set in a time of isolation, where only music can unifying them. Putting the message out, the boys added a little note that read, “Once upon a time, many years from now… music is forbidden across spheres. On three different planets, three different bands defy the ban. DJ Lafrique, on her alien radio ship, unites them via holoband. All the while they are hunted by their silencers.”
Since the launch of the music video, ARMY and Coldplay fans took to social media to decode the meaning of the video. Whether it was the band’s message about rebelling against oppressors, or the coronavirus inspired enemy ship, or even the aliens and the values they represent, fans posted it all on social media.
Taking to Twitter, a fan wrote, “The message behind the music video is so wonderful. Music transcends absolutely everything. Music is too powerful that nothing can stop it to bring people closer together, not the silencers, not even the pandemic.”
