Hola Half - since 2009 I've been in tune with this video/wish I had the creative touch/friends/talent myself to envision something as beautiful, or just LIKE, anything that captures that quality and major scale/tone of this music video, let alone the incredible song. Love it. I ain't sleeping on it
Coldplay's most songs are underrated like this, ink, everglow, violet hill, miracles, someone special, cristmas lights, lovers in Japan and many many moreee!! Still they have more total views than any of the band!!!!
They were sitting They were talking in the strawberry swing Every moment was so precious They were sitting They were talking in the strawberry swing Everybody was for fighting Wouldn't wanna waste a thing Cold, cold water Bring me round Now my feet won't touch the ground Cold, cold water What ya say? It's such It's such a perfect day It's such a perfect day I remember We were walking up to strawberry swing I can't wait 'til the morning Wouldn't wanna change a thing People moving all the time Inside a perfectly straight line Don't you wanna curve away It's such It's such a perfect day It's such a perfect day Now the sky could be blue I don't mind Without you it's a waste of time Could be blue I don't mind Without you it's a waste of time Could be blue, Could be grey Without you I'm just miles away Could be blue I don't mind Without you it's a waste of time.
Joaquin H. There was a more in depth article I found earlier, but heres an artice which references the study. www.shortlist.com/entertainment/music/scientists-discover-most-relaxing-tune-ever
I don't know about any studies my dudes, but I can tell you that once I spent a good couple of hours doing absolutely nothing but lie on the grass in my backyard with headphones on listening to this on repeat, feeling the sun on my skin as it filtered through the tree leaves. 10/10 would recommend.
just in case someone wanna sing along, here's the lyrics: "Strawberry Swing" They were sitting They were sitting on the strawberry swing Every moment was so precious They were sitting They were talking under strawberry swing Everybody was for fighting Wouldn't wanna waste a thing Cold, cold water bring me round Now my feet won't touch the ground Cold, cold water what ya say?

Coldplay will forever be engraved in my memories. When I was younger, my mum would drive me and my younger brother to the bus stop for school every morning, and we would listen to coldplay every single day. it was the best 5-6 minutes of my day. We went to two concerts of theirs, and each one was magical. they are so god damn inspiring. Thank you coldplay for providing us with music for our minds, our souls and our hearts. you are the true heroes of our time, god knows how many lives you have saved with your music!
Same here, but in my dad’s car. Always had them on our CD’s (Yes, it was THAT era! Those of us who remember Cds;) ). Coldplay - and specifically this song- is super nostalgic for me.
lyrics, no "letter". Well is hard to explain. Its just that. We all have targets on life, it reffers when you can change your mind and do things in life with a different view that which it´s supposed to be. Something like that, but its taking about a lover at the same time
oh I'm sorry; I use translator, I do not know English. And thanks for answering! I saw it more as: everything is always a routine, everything is always monotonous, everything is always the same, so, do not you want to forget about it for a while while you are with me? Or, do not you want to distract me for a while? or something like that, I would not know how to explain it hahaha, greetings!
@Thomas Sweet I dunno, the ground has times where it is stained from the previous drawings and I would think that'd be difficult to emulate computer wise.
If you are here because of anxiety attacks, close your eyes and rub your temples slowly with one finger on each side. Trust me, it works. Just imagine your happy place. I have struggled with anxiety attacks and neurological issues from a very young age and my only regret is not finding this song sooner. I had listened to other coldplay songs like "Clocks" and "Paradise", but they weren't remotely as effective as this one is. Enjoy the song, and know that you're not alone! Whoever you are struggling with anxiety or whatever it is, I feel you and I care! I know how much of a burden anxiety can be but you have a friend here. Shoot me a comment if you need to talk. :D In a wolrd filled with darkness and depression, let this comment section be your safe haven!
Every comment section for Coldplay on youtube is full of people saying "This is one of Coldplay's most underrated songs." So basically I think we can agree that no matter how big Coldplay already is/was, they are still underrated as a whole.
JosephYOv me too... melancholy and nostalgia too. If you listen to Frank Ocean version of this song (which I actually enjoy more) you can feel it more because of the lyrics/story. It's a great song. Both of them!
I remember the people I won’t ever see again, then the ending pulls me straight up to musical heaven. It’s such a rapid and smooth change, I laugh and cry with happiness.
people.......seriously..... how on earth can you dislike this ? this is human creativity at its high. just listen to it with eyes closed and you ll feel what I am talking about. Legend Coldplay.

There's something about Chris's voice that just gives me chills. Believe me, people, I love Frank. Channel Orange and Nostalgia ULTRA are both wonderful works of art, but man do I have a huge emotional connection to this original. Frank's voice is beautiful, but these lyrics are just perfect when you describe that one person you simply can't live without. For me, that's my dad, and what I love is that I can perfectly apply these lyrics to how much I love my dad. "Now the sky could be blue, I don't mind, without you it's a waste of time." Absolutely perfect.
this video is so underrated, the amount of creativity they put into their work is fantastic (not only coldplay themself, but also the whole crew working behind the scenes!)
LOL, kiddo, Coldplay hasn't MADE this video.Shynola has.The video itself is very creative, although the music is a mediocre, boring mainstream radio-oriented crap.It totally lacks defining characteristics.Reminds me of what Alan McGee has said on Coldplay: “they are the dictionary definition of corporate rock. The singer is about as weird as Phil Collins. They are career rock personified. EMI should’ve signed Otis The Aadvark instead. At least he only sucks his thumb rather than corporate cock.” LOL :DDD
WisdomOldMan the music is a frank ocean sample. im not saying that this song isnt good and creative for its own merits, but you must realize that creativity is relative. "most in the world," no. that award goes to the beatles
This song is about the nostalgic feeling of looking back upon childhood as an adult, about having this childhood crush but now that he is an adult, he is unable to know how it felt like to be a child My favorite line from the song is “Every moment was so precious” because our childhood is very precious since as we get older, we wouldn’t have the chance to be a child anymore.
Not really, It's a green screen and some basic chalk animation. Pay close attention to the edge of his body and you'll see the green outline of the backdrop.
This video hits me right in the feelings of youth. I remember watching it on MTV with my eyes wide open without blinking 'cause it was sooo entertaining. And still is today. I think in all the work that must have been the realization of it... and the results were absolutely worth. Ugh! so creative and well done.
My mother and I played this song together as I heard the Frank Ocean cover and she adored Coldplay. She passed away recently and I can't hear this without tearing up, for both those happy memories and the emptiness I've felt ever since she passed on the 23rd of May. Love you always momma ❤
This was the song which played on my phone while I was on a flight from Delhi to Jammu ( in India) for my college convocation. Over the snow clad mountains I could see my college campus for one last time. I don't know how but all my college memories are etched to the notes of this song and come back to me every-time I listen to it. As if every note strikes a neuron cord. One of the most overlooked Coldplay songs of the decade
Listening to this is like stepping into a time machine. It doesn’t always happen, but every now and then, I become reminiscent about my youth and the people I have interacted with, some people I no longer speak with, memories of crazy adventures and activities but mostly moments of isolation and how this song (among many other Coldplay songs) kept me warm and safe.
Summary: about a man looking back to his childhood and remembering how creative his imagination was. Favorite line: every moment was so precious. Reasoning: it represents how he feels about his memory of his childhood
THIS TRACK REMINDS ME CHILDHOOD AND TEENAGE TIMES..AND HOLIDAYS ON COUNTRY SIDE WITH MY GRANDPARENTS AND ALL MY FRIENDS..THAT WAS HEAVEN ON EARTH...THANK U COLDPLAY..I HAVE TEARS IN MY EYES...
This song is dedicated to my daughter's.They love it everytime, I play it for them when they feel like hearing it.11,8,and 5 still my little princesses.I love being their dad.Best thing that ever happened to me and my life.
I remember when this video first premiered in 2009. I was so in awe, I must have watched it 10 times over that day. Even today, I never get tired of this song or video.
Coldplays best song and nothing will change my mind about that. The guitar is beautiful and the lyrics are superb. Thanks Chris for this song, it helped me get out of a dark time of grief and sadness form my brothers death. Love you Coldplay
Could be blue, I don't mind, without you its a waste of time, could be blue, could be grey....without you I'm just miles away!! Life without Coldplay is like a beach without the sea........Head Full Of Dreams...can't wait. Ghost Stories was great. Thanks Guys for all your amazing music!! POEM ---------- Walking miles by the sea with the dog, Coldplay walks me through the fog. When life is dull and de-press-ing, got my headphones on, then Coldplay sing!! Look at earth from out of space, yellow, up in flames, midnight, in my place. It gives my day a new cheery start, so come on baby....don't let it break your heart!!! I'll see you soon. MX World Tour ETIHAD10.06.2012 Colin Bell Stand...fixed me!!! I was there...... Sorted!!!
This song was popular when I met my husband. It moved me. Everything I hear it I am reminded of the unconditional love we shared. Unfortunately after 12 years with my soulmate and love of my life he passed away. ❤ Now when I hear this song it brings me back to the most precious time of my life.❤
To me, this song feels like it’s about escaping the world and having fun in our imaginations. ‘Don’t you wanna just curve away?’ Is my favorite line! It describes how I feel when I’m tired of following rules all the time. It’s like an encouragement to think out of the box.
It’s 2022 and I came back to this song on my 35th week of pregnancy with my first born. Now it’s 12:30am and I’m looking at my beautiful son while listening to this song and loving every minute of this moment.
It is now 7:37 pm, November 1, 2023, I am talking about Brazil. I'm listening to this song next to my mother, who is my favorite person in the whole world. I leave here on record my love for this song.
Mr. Snowman -Mr. Snowman is my old account that I used to have. Sometimes I stumble across my old comments and it leaves a smile on my face. What a song!
This song just makes me want to run and frolic thru an open field with the sun on my back and birds soaring overhead. Pure joy and love and peace. Truly is a masterpiece ❤️🍓
My teacher showed us this video to give us inspiration to make our own stop motion animation for photography and by God I am so inspired by this music film!!!! I'm so glad she showed us this!
Coldplay must be one of the best artists who make music that really touches your soul. It has loads of different feelings to their music that I think everyone can relate to. Love it!
My bestfriend recommended this song when we are in highschool. She really love coldplay and this is her favorite. So, when i miss her, i always listen to coldplay and always make my feeling better. And because of her i like coldplay too
I'm not one at all to comment on songs but this one makes me feel so beautiful that it's something I don't really know how to explain. It's like I experience this massive river of happiness and nostalgia rush through me and I just feel like I am home. It dissolves my anxiety but at the same time makes me want to burst into tears haha. If anyone reads this and has the opportunity where they live close to water or the sea, or on a hill, wake up early one morning and go to one of these places and play this song as you watch the sunrise. Or on the other hand, it is just as beautiful watching the sunset. This song obliterates any pain and turns those experiences into contentment.
I dont know what 8fact is but if you're looking for some soft relaxing songs here you go - the moon song , Her soundtrack - I love you, wood kid quintet version - Angles, The xx - The scientist, coldplay - Bloodsteam, Statless - skinny love, Bon iver Those are some of my favorites.
It’s so hard to explain how Coldplay makes me feel. It’s a mix of fleeting beauty, happiness, and bitter sweetness. Like 3:19 makes me well up with emotions I can’t even describe.
This is one of the most impressive animated pieces I've ever seen. The ending shots with the butterflies are why - generally in 2-D animation, to create a lot of movement you create a lot of "layers" and have maybe a small handful of objects on each layer. Then you can move the layers individually. This eliminates a lot of room for error because you can trace layers individually and get rid of layers that don't quite look right. With chalk drawing, there are no layers - everything is drawn and colored on a "master" canvas (in this case, the ground). But you can still focus on any single butterfly and follow its path. That means that the motion for every butterfly had to be taken into account at the exact same time before each frame was completed. And there's well over a hundred butterflies! Even if the creators "cheated" and used butterfly stencils, and even if t hey digitally rendered it in a computer then projected that on the ground as a guideline to create the physical drawings, it's still a tedious process that would take days to finish. I don't know if I've ever seen anything like it that wasn't completely added in post!
honestly, one of the most slept on music videos out there. do people even understand how wild this truly is?
*:0* Totally agree and love your songs as well!
:O I agree

Well, I usually listen to this before I sleep.
damn didnt expect to see you here, ive been listening to still feel on repeat btw

This is one of coldplay's most underrated songs.

Coldplay's most songs are underrated like this, ink, everglow, violet hill, miracles, someone special, cristmas lights, lovers in Japan and many many moreee!!
Still they have more total views than any of the band!!!!
AMAL P B it really is
@@KMCuber allthough after death and all his friends and prostpect's march their albums lost their real coldplay vibe sadly.

People moving all the time
Inside a perfectly straight line
Don't you wanna curve away

This song was the theme of my wedding. I got married last month and almost all the details of our wedding revolved around Coldplay.
Mai Cadiz how?? I’m curios!
Mai Cadiz beautiful!

When I get the most frustrated, I always listen to Strawberry Swing with my eyes closed and let my imagination run free, it calms me every time
I played this song when my son was born because I knew from that point that “without you is a waste of time”.
I get teary when I hear this.
I know this is sudden but I wish the best for you and your little one.
If this song was a person, I would spend the rest of my life with them.
Idk how but this comment sums up how i feel about this song perfectly
that person for me would be frank ocean
I know exactly how you feel
Thiss is so apt haha

Man Im glad I'm not the only one who listened to this stuff in my mom's car as a kid
I grew up with Coldplay and Keane, also in my parent’s car, I don’t mind until I have enough age,(like 12) to really appreciate their songs.
What a beautiful memory
whats the point of riding the bus if you get drove to the stop?
Same here, but in my dad’s car. Always had them on our CD’s (Yes, it was THAT era! Those of us who remember Cds;) ). Coldplay - and specifically this song- is super nostalgic for me.

There's something about the Asian culture sounds that draw the heart in
same here bro..
the beautiful moment that i never experienced...but somehow deep in my heart i wish i've had one same as chris described in this song
That last verse...😭 Ah moves me. Without you it's truly a waste of time
"People moving all the time,
Inside a perfectly straight line,
Don't you wanna curve away?"
One of the best lyrics I've ever heard!! Just wow!
I agree!
right.....
What does that part of the letter refer to?
lyrics, no "letter". Well is hard to explain. Its just that. We all have targets on life, it reffers when you can change your mind and do things in life with a different view that which it´s supposed to be. Something like that, but its taking about a lover at the same time

LOL, kiddo, Coldplay hasn't MADE this video.Shynola has.The video itself is very creative, although the music is a mediocre, boring mainstream radio-oriented crap.It totally lacks defining characteristics.Reminds me of what Alan McGee has said on Coldplay:
“they are the dictionary definition of corporate rock. The singer is about as weird as Phil Collins. They are career rock personified. EMI should’ve signed Otis The Aadvark instead. At least he only sucks his thumb rather than corporate cock.” LOL :DDD
Borgescope "the music is a mediocre" Haha tell me more Alan Parson.
WisdomOldMan
the music is a frank ocean sample. im not saying that this song isnt good and creative for its own merits, but you must realize that creativity is relative. "most in the world," no. that award goes to the beatles
This song is about the nostalgic feeling of looking back upon childhood as an adult, about having this childhood crush but now that he is an adult, he is unable to know how it felt like to be a child
My favorite line from the song is “Every moment was so precious” because our childhood is very precious since as we get older, we wouldn’t have the chance to be a child anymore.
yeah, sadly
Of you want to feel like a child try acid and listen this song
Wow thanks for explaining. I didn't understand until you wrote this an I read it
Someone should write a mixtape called Nostalgia Ultra or something like that and cover this song on it
Dang, that's powerful, and very sad
Guys who made this video are geniuses, this is art at its greatest
imagine how long it took them... man
Not really, It's a green screen and some basic chalk animation. Pay close attention to the edge of his body and you'll see the green outline of the backdrop.
One of my favorite Coldplay tracks that got me through some very tough times, kind of bittersweet listening to this song again.
This video hits me right in the feelings of youth. I remember watching it on MTV with my eyes wide open without blinking 'cause it was sooo entertaining. And still is today. I think in all the work that must have been the realization of it... and the results were absolutely worth. Ugh! so creative and well done.
+Grace Spencer well he isn't a grammar Nazi just a normal Nazi :)
your comments...urgg...i feel youu
Best song to play in a sunny morning with your cup of coffee
Without Coldplay, life would have been a waste of time
Coldplay is the best band all time
That's how love should feel
My mother and I played this song together as I heard the Frank Ocean cover and she adored Coldplay. She passed away recently and I can't hear this without tearing up, for both those happy memories and the emptiness I've felt ever since she passed on the 23rd of May. Love you always momma ❤
I'm so sorry, I hope you get better, this song sounds as beautiful as your mother and I hope you always remember that, be stronger ❤❤❤
This was the song which played on my phone while I was on a flight from Delhi to Jammu ( in India) for my college convocation. Over the snow clad mountains I could see my college campus for one last time. I don't know how but all my college memories are etched to the notes of this song and come back to me every-time I listen to it. As if every note strikes a neuron cord. One of the most overlooked Coldplay songs of the decade
12 yrs??? No waaaaay, it feels like yesterday ♡
Breaks my heart that not so many people can realise the beauty of this song
someone who gets me
The first song that taught me to be calm and love myself. The final verses were like reminders to be by myself despite anything happening to me.
Don't just be yourself; be God's. Take it from me, this world can offer NOTHING better than that.
Listening to this is like stepping into a time machine. It doesn’t always happen, but every now and then, I become reminiscent about my youth and the people I have interacted with, some people I no longer speak with, memories of crazy adventures and activities but mostly moments of isolation and how this song (among many other Coldplay songs) kept me warm and safe.
Coldplay's songs are not underrated, people just can't keep it up with such huge amount of creativity !
Ya I understand. So true!
Summary: about a man looking back to his childhood and remembering how creative his imagination was. Favorite line: every moment was so precious. Reasoning: it represents how he feels about his memory of his childhood
a breath of fresh air everybody
+christian baluyot Strawberry Schwing!
A fresh of breath air...oops wrong band
I don't have enough words to express how underrated this song and this video are.
Every note they play has a soul...
This is one of the best and most underrated songs ever!
THIS TRACK REMINDS ME CHILDHOOD AND TEENAGE TIMES..AND HOLIDAYS ON COUNTRY SIDE WITH MY GRANDPARENTS AND ALL MY FRIENDS..THAT WAS HEAVEN ON EARTH...THANK U COLDPLAY..I HAVE TEARS IN MY EYES...
Same me. Childhood at hometown. Tears are falling down....
This song is dedicated to my daughter's.They love it everytime, I play it for them when they feel like hearing it.11,8,and 5 still my little princesses.I love being their dad.Best thing that ever happened to me and my life.
happy fr u man.........................
How are you daughters now, man? I hope you all doing great 😊
Amazing 👌👌
There is the BEST CLIP OF ALL DAMN TIME
This is magnificent
I remember when this video first premiered in 2009. I was so in awe, I must have watched it 10 times over that day. Even today, I never get tired of this song or video.
Coldplays best song and nothing will change my mind about that. The guitar is beautiful and the lyrics are superb. Thanks Chris for this song, it helped me get out of a dark time of grief and sadness form my brothers death. Love you Coldplay
Strawberry Swing....sounds delicious

I've been listening to Coldplay for 15 years and I just realized this guy has the mind of a child.
Could be blue, I don't mind, without you its a waste of time, could be blue, could be grey....without you I'm just miles away!! Life without Coldplay is like a beach without the sea........Head Full Of Dreams...can't wait. Ghost Stories was great. Thanks Guys for all your amazing music!!
POEM

Walking miles by the sea with the dog, Coldplay walks me through the fog. When life is dull and de-press-ing, got my headphones on, then Coldplay sing!! Look at earth from out of space, yellow, up in flames, midnight, in my place. It gives my day a new cheery start, so come on baby....don't let it break your heart!!! I'll see you soon.
MX World Tour ETIHAD10.06.2012 Colin Bell Stand...fixed me!!! I was there...... Sorted!!!
The power of Imagination!!! :)
Exactly Mate!
This gotta be my fav music video ever. Coldplay FTWWWW
+Shafiqah Shahrin Me too, and one on my fav songs too. :)
+Shafiqah Shahrin but i prefer the Frank Ocean version ;)
I agree with you Shafiqah Shahrin!
+marioskyjuicemonster well no one cares
This song was popular when I met my husband. It moved me. Everything I hear it I am reminded of the unconditional love we shared. Unfortunately after 12 years with my soulmate and love of my life he passed away. ❤ Now when I hear this song it brings me back to the most precious time of my life.❤
I'm not the biggest fan of Coldplay but this is a magnificent piece of imagination
get hip 😊 your missing out
listen to the frank ocean cover version / reimagination, it's even better.
Not the biggest fan of Coldplay? Do not say that to me or my family or you’ll be in trouble
@@Jimmy-es8bc yes.
Not a fan of coldplay....well...I don't trust u as a human...
The clip is just as impressive as the song
To me, this song feels like it’s about escaping the world and having fun in our imaginations. ‘Don’t you wanna just curve away?’ Is my favorite line! It describes how I feel when I’m tired of following rules all the time. It’s like an encouragement to think out of the box.
Coldplay can't be more creative in the Moon Music Videos I am sure it peaked here
This is one of the best music videos of all time, fight me
I will not fight you Sir, for I concur, this is one of the best music videos of all time ❤️
Idk, Something Just Like this is pretty close
Have you seen the Hardest part?
I simply do not have the courage to fight your statement!
You got it bro
you know when music is so good it feels like taking drugs?
Yea same way here man
+Zaikee Blaire same here to man
isaiah Scientifically proven that this song can make you relax and even go to sleep !
Coldplay is the only "drug" I need.
Jordan Galan hahaha ikr
This has to be one of Coldplay's most underrated songs. So incredible.
This is one of the best English Melody song i have ever heard.It may create a inspiring soul of me as well as the other people i wish.❤
It’s 2022 and I came back to this song on my 35th week of pregnancy with my first born. Now it’s 12:30am and I’m looking at my beautiful son while listening to this song and loving every minute of this moment.
It is now 7:37 pm, November 1, 2023, I am talking about Brazil. I'm listening to this song next to my mother, who is my favorite person in the whole world. I leave here on record my love for this song.
This is a very impressive music video. Imagine the work that went into making this cohesive and visually appealing. Well done Coldplay 👏🏻
I don't know why I end up crying everytime I watch this
Justin Lee same, I feel really sad as soon as I hear that little tune
Music has a way of influencing emotions
I guess cause the melody and vocals really touch the heart
The presentation is beyond words.
so it's not just me huh, im glad :D
I pity people who haven't yet discovered this masterpiece, and to those too who listened and didn't connect with this song! ♥️
One of my favourite music videos of all time.
me too
Not only that, one of my favorite songs of all time...
This song needs more views cmon people
Definitely in my top 3 favorite Coldplay songs
Mr. Snowman my top 3 is

Mr. Snowman -Mr. Snowman is my old account that I used to have. Sometimes I stumble across my old comments and it leaves a smile on my face. What a song!
Sky could be blue I don't mind without you Im just miles away rip Darren rael
coldplay are the best. its not a band its a feeling 💯
A DIVINE feeling. You think this can be done without Father-Creator, Son-Saviour and Holy Spirit-Comforter? It cannot.
This song just makes me want to run and frolic thru an open field with the sun on my back and birds soaring overhead. Pure joy and love and peace. Truly is a masterpiece ❤️🍓
Yeah do it honey!! With all your Mayhem
Love thissong
without you its a waste of time
I don’t know why but this line hits me deep
My teacher showed us this video to give us inspiration to make our own stop motion animation for photography and by God I am so inspired by this music film!!!! I'm so glad she showed us this!
Really brings me back to my middle school days, happy times in my life
This deserves more views...
Coldplay must be one of the best artists who make music that really touches your soul. It has loads of different feelings to their music that I think everyone can relate to. Love it!
My bestfriend recommended this song when we are in highschool. She really love coldplay and this is her favorite. So, when i miss her, i always listen to coldplay and always make my feeling better. And because of her i like coldplay too
always beautiful. wish i could go back to the time when i first heard and saw this music video, life was so precious then
me too
OK GO and Coldplay make the best videos.
Man, you're 100% right.
Rusty Ralston I say they do a collab
how do i like a comment twice
create another account
do i hear a tour idea here...? o_O
I'm not one at all to comment on songs but this one makes me feel so beautiful that it's something I don't really know how to explain. It's like I experience this massive river of happiness and nostalgia rush through me and I just feel like I am home. It dissolves my anxiety but at the same time makes me want to burst into tears haha. If anyone reads this and has the opportunity where they live close to water or the sea, or on a hill, wake up early one morning and go to one of these places and play this song as you watch the sunrise. Or on the other hand, it is just as beautiful watching the sunset. This song obliterates any pain and turns those experiences into contentment.
I love this song as much as you do...and want to experience a sunrise with my beautiful wife! Bless you !
Makes me forget hard time
Feels like life is worth living anyway!
This song reminds me of my dad and all the memories I have with him I cry every time I hear the last part
I almost started crying. The animation and cinematography is absolutely unparalleled compared to any other music video I've ever seen. Awesome stuff
I dont know what 8fact is but if you're looking for some soft relaxing songs here you go
- the moon song , Her soundtrack
- I love you, wood kid quintet version
- Angles, The xx
- The scientist, coldplay
- Bloodsteam, Statless
- skinny love, Bon iver
Those are some of my favorites.
Reply to this comment so I can remember this list
Thank you for this!
***** Angles is such acute song #autocorrect
thanks
The scientist is really sad for me, not relaxing.
My replica recommended this for me . Couldn't be more happy

me too :)

Mine just recommended it for me today!
I have been having severe anxiety and this song helped reduce it a bit. Coldplay truly has magic.
Not magic, blessing.
Key difference.
i extremely love the creativity in this video
This was my wedding song
This is criminally underrated. 27m views is not enough for this when all the other crap songs out there getting a billion views.
They stole from primus, primus should be bigger

Love this one. "Now, the sky could be blue, could be grey. Without you, I'm just miles away". 😍
It’s so hard to explain how Coldplay makes me feel. It’s a mix of fleeting beauty, happiness, and bitter sweetness. Like 3:19 makes me well up with emotions I can’t even describe.
One word Answer, YES
This is one of the most impressive animated pieces I've ever seen. The ending shots with the butterflies are why - generally in 2-D animation, to create a lot of movement you create a lot of "layers" and have maybe a small handful of objects on each layer. Then you can move the layers individually. This eliminates a lot of room for error because you can trace layers individually and get rid of layers that don't quite look right.
With chalk drawing, there are no layers - everything is drawn and colored on a "master" canvas (in this case, the ground). But you can still focus on any single butterfly and follow its path. That means that the motion for every butterfly had to be taken into account at the exact same time before each frame was completed. And there's well over a hundred butterflies!
Even if the creators "cheated" and used butterfly stencils, and even if t hey digitally rendered it in a computer then projected that on the ground as a guideline to create the physical drawings, it's still a tedious process that would take days to finish. I don't know if I've ever seen anything like it that wasn't completely added in post!
the directors said it was stopmotion
Thank you, Replika. ❤️
