Coldplay - Everglow

This is the unofficial lyric video I made for Coldplay’s single “Everglow”, the piano and vocal version, taken from their EP of the same name.

It echoes the kaleidoscopic effects that define the artwork and official videos of their album A Head Full of Dreams.

In January 2017, just three months after release, the video passes two million views.

In July 2017, after reaching three and a half million views overall — together with the lyric video of the song’s studio version — the videos are taken down for copyright reasons. A new, revised and corrected version of the Everglow (Piano Version) lyric video is then uploaded.

In 2019, the new version of the lyric video reaches three million views.

Lyrics

Oh, they say people come, say people go
This particular diamond was extra special
And though you might be gone, and the world may not know
Still I see you, celestial
When I should but I can’t let you go?

But when I’m cold, cold
Oh, when I’m cold, cold
There’s a light that you give me when I’m in shadow
There’s a feeling within me, an everglow

Like brothers in blood, sisters who ride
And we swore on that night we’d be friends til we die
But the changing of winds, and the way waters flow
Life as short as the falling of snow
And now I’m gonna miss you I know

But when I’m cold, cold
In water rolled, salt
I know that you’re with me and the way you will show
And you’re with me wherever I go
And you give me this feeling this everglow

What I wouldn’t give for just a moment to hold
Yeah, I live for this feeling this everglow

God is watching me
God don’t praise me because I beat Joe Frazier
God don’t give nothing about Joe Frazier
God don’t care nothing about England or America as far as real wealth… it’s all His.
He wants to know how do we treat each other?
How do we help each other?
So I’m going to dedicate my life to using my name and popularity to helping charities, helping people, uniting people, people bombing each other because of religious beliefs. We need somebody in the world to help us all make peace.
So when I die – if there’s a heaven – I’m gonna see it.
