Do you feel like a puzzle
You canÂ’t find your missing piece
Tell me how you feel
Well, I feel like theyÂ’re talking in a language I donÂ’t speak
And theyÂ’re talking it to me

Coldplay – Talk – The Video
Yes, they released the video to their single – Talk, also featured in the album X&Y.
And it sucked…
I mean, I really did not expect it to be that way…
Who puts in a robot in such a song? I had so many beautiful (emotional even) connotations of that lovely song. Bah!
Though I must admit, it’s kind of funny once you get over the initial bickering…
The plot appears pretty simple: The band (wearing 3D goggles, no less) lands on some planet with their flying saucer… Chris has a big flash light that he shines across the stars in the sky, and a megaphone through which he sings…
Then they walk past these really weird looking white trees! They would prove quite chillingly scary in a movie. And then they find the robot… Fallen down, broken perhaps.
Chris Martin actually goes and “talks” to the robot… That’s the time when he sings:
Are you lost or incomplete
They all walk up to it, and climb over it, Guy or Chuck removes one of the black round buttons on it and puts it in his drum! The robot then wakes up, and actually says some gibberish, that is subtitled…
Then they walk towards the trees, and the robot kinda focuses on them, his spotlighty eyes shining on them, and they go berserk… Which is when the music plays loud.
Finally the robot decides to go and sit inside some rock kinda thing, and since it is now settled, our heroes board their space craft and take off… The robot notices its missing button, and summons some power that enables it to attract the craft to its hand… He then proceeds to eat a piece of it… And Coldplay is shown astonished, looking at it through the spaceship window! Very silly!
The robot then whistles, and leaves its rock house…
The end…
=======================
Wonder if there’s more to it than what they have depicted… I really hope so… Cause it is kinda depressing this way…
Oh yes, did I mention that the video was in blank-n-white?
