Every teardrop may be a waterfall, as the new Coldplay single goes, but for the song’s new stop-motion performance video, nary a drop of H2O is in sight.

Instead, the band’s backdrop is an abandoned building where a colorful flow of graffiti and paint splashes pops in both dingy daylight and black light.

It’s certainly eye-catching, though might I suggest an alternate version in which the camera focuses solely on Guy Berryman? That would be wa-wa-wa-wa-wonderful.

Coldplay released the Every Teardrop Is A Waterfall EP over the weekend, which features two other new tunes, “Major Minus” and “Moving To Mars.” Still no word on when Coldplay’s proper fifth studio album will appear.
