There are some wonderfully wacky little scene, like the elephant”s trunk stretching out through the Tube train doors for some peanuts or his little trunk outside of the trunk he”s traveling in on a plane to South Africa. In addition to being able to walk upright, this elephant can navigate the London Tube system and airplane. The clip opens as our furry pachyderm is breaking out of the zoo.
That”s the takeaway from the sweet, whimsical video for Coldplay”s “Paradise.” That, and, apparently, lead singer Chris Martin is a hell of a unicycle rider. Watch below.We”re all just looking for members of our own tribe, even if we”re a fake elephant. Anthropomorphism has been getting a lot of attention this year alone, though, and it's refreshing to see the Serious Rockers, who have transitioned from indie favorites into making music that perfectly soundtracks television's most cheesy dramatic scenes, showcase their more playful side. We have no other explanation for use of animal costumes in the video, save for the fact that Apple and Moses probably went through a Dumbo phase at some point.
Give these humans-as-animals credit, as most of us have to spend more time and energy going through the monotony of airport security before we can country-hop with such ease, all of which seems to escape them. Once reunited, the foursome find their rightful place atop a giant stadium stage, leading a singalong while wearing their signature performance accessories. A brief glimpse of the man underneath the mask reveals that this is probably Chris Martin, although we should have known from the agile leaps and skilled unicycle riding while on his way back to his friends. Their new video for " Paradise" features one lonely elephant who has spent his days in a Lost-like cage before breaking free and scouring lands far and wide-the African countryside to the London tube-for his fellow brethren. It's likely a person's version of "paradise" is unique to his or her own interests and desires, yet Coldplay feels no shame in declaring that their idyllic land of choice involves fuzzy elephants, or humans wearing full-body animal costumes.
