The Coldplay to Radiohead Connection: A Video Exploration

Plot: Martin walks on a beach in a single take and insists that the stars are, in fact, yellow.

Is The Band In a Remote Location? The remainder of the group is absent and there's not another soul around Martin, setting up a pattern for future Coldplay videos that established the band as loners who were constantly fleeing from other people.

Radiohead Reference? Martin's dead-eyed stare into the camera recalls Thom Yorke's gaze in just about every video Radiohead has ever made.
