Coldplay – Adventure Of A Lifetime (Official video)
Three times Chris Martin puts in this phrase, “If we’ve only got this life” and I think deep down he truly doesn’t believe we are limited to this one life. Take a look at his previous songs and you can see that.
“Adventure Of A Lifetime”
Umi she’d say
Everything you want’s a dream away
And we are legends every day
That’s what she told meTurn your magic on,
To me she’d say
Everything you want’s a dream away
Under this pressure under this weight
We are diamondsNow I feel my heart beating
I feel my heart underneath my skin
And I feel my heart beating
Oh you make me feel
Like I’m alive again
Alive again
Oh you make me feel
Like I’m alive again
Said I can’t go on, not in this way
I’m a dream that died by light of day
Gonna hold up half the sky and say
Only I own me
And I feel my heart beating
I feel my heart underneath my skin
Oh I can feel my heart beating
Cause you make me feel
Like I’m alive again
Alive again
Oh you make me feel
Like I’m alive again
Turn your magic on, Umi she’d say
Everything you want’s a dream away
Under this pressure under this weight
We are diamonds taking shape
We are diamonds taking shape
If we’ve only got this life
This adventure oh then I
And if we’ve only got this life
You get me through
And if we’ve only got this life
In this adventure oh then I
Want to share it with you
With you
With you
Yeah I do
Woohoo
Woohoo
Woohoo

Reception[edit]
Upon its release, “Adventure of a Lifetime” received general acclaim from critics, with praise being drawn towards the previously unseen disco style by the band. Filippo L’Astorina of the British entertainment website The Upcoming rated the song four out of five stars. L’Astorina praised the structure and sound saying “its effortless pop structure lies on a funky groove with electric guitars mimicking Indian sitar sounds”.[3] Writing for Idolator, Bianca Gracie and Robbie Daw rated the song 7/10 and 8/10 respectively, stating that the song is “incredibly vibrant in an almost childlike, blissful way that gives such an energetic rush” and that it is “the best Coldplay single in seven years”.[4] Rolling Stone ranked “Adventure of a Lifetime” at number 41 on its year-end list to find the 50 best songs of 2015.[5]
Music video[edit]
The official music video was directed by Mat Whitecross. It was released on 27 November 2015. The concept for the video was hatched after Coldplay frontman Chris Martinand motion capture expert Andy Serkis met on a plane and discussed ideas. It took about six months in the making of the music video.[6]
The animated video features a group of chimpanzees that come across a Beats Pill speaker under a pile of leaves. The primates then discover the power of music and form a band that resembles the band members.
