I can't imagine them wanting anything except to bring attention, be funny and be happy, so well done! I know I was happy seeing it.

LOL I kinda like it so far. It looks really silly and happy.

Single Review: Coldplay – Adventure of a Lifetime
James McPherson gives his take on Coldplay's latest.

A stark contrast from their quieter, soulful album Ghost Stories, the lead single 'Adventure of a Lifetime' from pop-rock quartet Coldplay’s newest creation is full of fun, vibrant colours and immediately grabs your attention. It captivates the reassuring idea of new hope and feeling alive again because of a woman.

It forms the fifth track on the band’s seventh studio album, entitled A Head Full of Dreams. Sadly, lead singer Chris Martin has hinted it may end up being their last, saying: “I have to think of it as the final thing we’re doing. Otherwise we wouldn’t put everything into it.” The idea for the album was first introduced to us back in December last year in an interview with then-Radio 1 DJ Zane Lowe, in which they called their previous album the “night to the day” of their new material.

The track starts with a high-pitched, catchy riff from guitarist Jonny Buckland, which forms the basis for the whole song and is repeated throughout. Then, the rest of the band joins in with an upbeat style reminiscent of disco-rock songs of the past. Chris Martin’s opening lines, ‘Turn your magic up… / Everything you want’s a dream away’ introduce us to a woman who is inspiring him to believe in himself again and enjoy life to the fullest.

Martin also gives a powerful message later on when he sings: ‘Under this pressure, under this weight / We are diamonds’ implying that no matter what struggles we go through in our lives, they make us a better person in the end. This could be another reference to his split from actress Gwyneth Paltrow, showing that he has moved on and feels good about himself again.

Coldplay’s constantly changing style is refreshing to listeners as each album has its own character, which has also developed their songwriting skills through the years. With the full album coming in December this year, ‘Adventure of a Lifetime’ is definitely something to get excited about.

I like this song, which is a nice surprise since I didn't like most of their singles from the previous two albums.
