“I’m one of those lucky people who got to do for a living what I would’ve done anyway!” This is wonderful! Coldplay has released a brand new music video for the single “All My Love” off their brand new album called “Moon Music”. But it’s nothing like any usual music video. Coldplay’s Chris Martin hangs out with the legendary Dick Van Dyke, who is turning 99 years old (!!) and plays on his piano while Dick dances around his home. All of it is filmed & edited into a lovely tribute to the iconic performer / comedian / actor Dick Van Dyke, cut with footage & photographs from his illustrious career in show business. It’s co-directed by the filmmakers Spike Jonze & Mary Wigmore, which actually makes it the first real Spike Jonze-directed project we’ve seen in a while. And it’s just so delightful. Shot in location at his home in Malibu, it’s a lovely, heartfelt look at his life as he reflects on his age. “I’m acutely aware that I could go any day now… but I don’t know why it doesn’t concern me. I’m not afraid of it. I have the feeling that I’m gonna be alright.” Dance on.

It’s a big deal for me.” This music video for Coldplay’s song “All My Love” is co-directed by filmmakers Spike Jonze (of the films Being John Malkovich, Adaptation, Where the Wild Things Are, Her, Beastie Boys Story) & Mary Wigmore (episodes of “Scream Queens”, “9-1-1”, “American Horror Story”, “Single Drunk Female”). Produced by Rob Hatch-Miller, Jorie Feldman, with Dick Van Dyke & Arlene Silver. With cinematography by Shabier Kirchner, and production design by Florencia Martin. Filmed on location at Dick Van Dyke’s beachside home in Malibu, California. “He allows the filmmakers to tour his home, showcasing memorabilia from his movies – including a lifesize replica of Bert, his chimney-sweeping character from Mary Poppins,” explains BBC. The song is from Coldplay’s latest album called “Moon Music” – which is available now. For more info on the music video, head to YouTube. To view more shorts (+ music videos), click here. Thoughts?
