Coldplay are literally on top of the world

Coldplay's A Head Full Of Dreams is a pretty patchy album, but the closing track Up & Up really stands out as a potential set-closer when they take it on the road later this year.

As ever, it's a spiritually uplifting anthem with a "woah-oh-oh" bit for people too lazy to learn the words. Which is probably just as well when the words include words such as these words: "Lying in the gutter, aiming for the moon / Trying to empty out the ocean with a spoon."

Bleurgh.

Anyway, Up & Up has been officially announced as the third single from the band's album; and it comes with a visually-stunning video, full of clever camera tricks and composite images - including drummer Will Champion drumming on top of the planet, like a terrifying Mecha-Phil Collins. Imagine the din. 

Watch it below. Or don't. It's up to you, really.
