Coldplay Wants To Play With Your Emotions In Two New Songs

It's almost time for Coldplay to release their forthcoming album, Everyday Life, on November 22, so, ahead of its release, it makes sense to share two more songs from the project: "Daddy" and "Champion Of The World. "Daddy" comes with an adorably animated video that follows a girl on the ultimate boat trip and "Champion Of The World" is a testament to being the ideal that you could be. They make the anticipation for the new release even higher.


"Daddy" is a slow and stirring song about a kid's relationship with their father. Spoiler alert: It's not good. The star of the show is a nameless girl in a pink hat, floating indoors of a boat in a pretty animated sea where buildings drop out of the sky without warning. She looks scared as she sits in the boat and watches a kite sail by. Picking it up, she sends it into the air, looking for a response. Next, a bird comes out of the sky and watches her. Eventually, she jumps into the water immediately after her boat sinks and admires the sea creatures, riding on the back of a whale into the sky. She eventually rides the kite back from the air to her boat where she's peacefully asleep and we're left wondering if the whole sequence was just a dream. It ends with her washing ashore and grabbing the hand of her dad.


"Champion Of The World" is a slightly more colorful affair that immediately raises your spirits. With a soothing groove and disembodied, spiritual voices howling in the background, Chris Martin and his bandmates create the environment to provoke inspire you to "stand before conquistadors" and become the ideal of the competition. It's the ideal tune to invigorate you without making you amped to do five sets in the gym.
