Coldplay | "Clocks" (Video)

Coldplay are a British alternative rock band formed in London, England in 1998. "Clocks" was released in the U.S. as the 2nd single from their 2nd album, "A Rush of Blood to the Head". Built around a repeating piano riff, the song features cryptic lyrics of contrast and urgency themes. "Clocks" won Record of the Year at the 2004 Grammy Awards, and, to date, is one of Coldplay's most successful songs.

A music video was filmed in support of the song. It was directed by British film maker Dominic Leung, and shot at Docklands' ExCeL Building in London. It features the band performing the song, with a laser show, in front of a staged audience, mostly local college students. Stage effects and blue-red light transitions give the video a surreal feel, not to mention the stoic crowd that make up the audience. Other favorite singles from Coldplay: "Viva la Vida" and "Speed Of Sound".
