So happy they're playing stuff from Everyday Life 🌙☀️ Such an overlooked album and one of their best! 😁🎶

[@shaunsmith6703]

It is good. Very overlooked.

[@pcorf]

So true! = A seriously underrated Coldplay album. They also played Orphans in a recent Music of The Spheres tour leg.

[@Htheorphanarian]

the Jordan performance is the best thing they've ever done.

[@iron___]

They're really only playing Orphans nowadays, this was a one-off for Glastonbury. Shame, because it's their best album in the last 10 years.

[@shaunsmith6703]

@@iron___ It is. It's their most risky, adventurous, varied album and hopefully over time more people will give it the credit it deserves.

Shout out Elyana, Femi Kuti brought life to this performance. Love it

This song is phenomenal. So happy to see it played live!

Its fantastic i had to hunt it down just found it. I could listen to it all day

[@deend7824]

It has such a different interesting instruments beat - nothing like Western or Arabic music style it reminds me of east Africa music! I wonder who are the guys are

[@6Pc.ChickenMcnobody]

Legendary saxophonist Femi Kuti plays the solo

[@FGongue]

Coldplay were incredible 🫶🏼 And I have just discovered Elyanna’s music (Palestinian singer) and she is really amazing 😌 🇵🇸 🇵🇸🇵🇸

[@manueltroncosotoro4401]

Elyanna, Chilean/Palestinian... A great singer who deserves to be on the great stages of the World... Elyanna The Queen, as they call her in the Arab countries... Elyanna, due to her great career that has been growing, should be in the Viña del Mar International Song Festival (CHILE), it is also the city where he has lived with his family....🇨🇱🇨🇱

@@manueltroncosotoro4401 creo que alguien de su familia hizo un instagram que se llama ElyannaChile porque todos los post están etiquetados en viña. Debería venir al menos a algún dueto con un artista que se presente. Yo podría cantar (champurriar) varias de sus canciones pero no sé si da para un show largo y ella no merece menos. PD. Siempre puede venir de jurado jaja

Coldplay's greatest song. Everyday Life deserves all the love! ☀🌙

[@kalimbalove1912]

LOL-ing at people who shit on this song and this performance. It's pretty telling that Coldplay haters are the one with awful taste in music, this is Femi Kuti they are working with, one of the legends of the Afrobeat-Jazz music, actual musicians (not 'musicians') love & acknowledge him as one of the best out there. If your definition of good music is loud guitar screech or 3 chords 'rock music' you really don't have a say on what constitute a 'good music' really is.

[@Tomi_janet15]

Preach🔥🔥🔥

[@gregbradley7482]

Saw Femi's Dad at Glasto back in the day. Revolutionary. Glad to see Coldplay jumping on the train too.

[@condimentking414]

The actual highlight of the night. One of the few remarkable songs Coldplay has put out since 'Viva la Vida or Death & All of His Friends'

[@david_burgos]

Arabesque was write in the Viva la Vida era

[@condimentking414]

@@david_burgos That explains the artsy vibe. In fact, 'Everyday Life' mostly gives me 'Viva la Vida' vibes

[@MACMAMI]

@@condimentking414 It's unfortunate it's probably the only album of their career that can be considered a semi-flop commercially. Its chart performance probably explains why the band have focused on a more maximalist, mainstream sound for consecutive eras ever since. Which I can't blame them for, but I do hope we get one final more avant-garde release from them before they stop recording new music like they've hinted at doing soon.

[@MrMilanistaSwe]

​@@MACMAMIthere's a reason for that. This album was never marketed. They just released, did Live in Jordan and just left it there. No worldwide tour, no tour at all, no shows, no marketing. I have no doubt they probably love this album but it was never (for them) meant for the charts. Had they even put in a minimal effort to market the album and even do a few shows like they did during Ghost Stories I have no doubt it would become much much much more succesful

[@DaniHeart7]

The energy towards the end is phenomenal! I hope they play more of Everyday Life at some point. So so good ❤

[@YesNoMaybeNot]

Elyanna is such a queen! I've been obsessed with her for a while now! May she witness her homeland's freedom in her lifetime ❤💚🖤🤍

See this song in live makes my heart happy

[@FrankMullerOldenburg]

I'm loving the music done by Coldplay for a very long time and enjoyed watching them live. But this one here, if one album or now here, must been played loud, each time and really often. To me it's still the most fantastic and powerful song by Coldplay.
