Può un video stupirci e sollevarci dal torpore di una calda e asfissiante giornata di luglio?
Direi proprio di si, il videoclip del brano Up&Up realizzato da due giovani registi israeliani, Vania Heymann e Gal Muggia, per i Coldplay riesce non solo in questo
ma, nel susseguirsi di paradossali immagini ed effetti speciali, ci fa entrare in una dimensione onirica dove ciò che apparentemente nella realtà condivisa è separato da spazio, tempo e significato si ritrova e si riunisce in una sorta di armonico respiro.
Fixing up a car to drive in it again
Searching for the water, hoping for the rain
Up and up, Up and up
Down upon the canvas, working meal to meal
Waiting for a chance to pick your orange field
Up and up, Up and up
See a pearl form, a diamond in the rough
See a bird soaring high above the flood
It’s in your blood, It’s in your blood
Underneath the storm an umbrella is saying
Sitting with the poison takes away the pain
Up and up, Up and up
We’re gonna get it, get it together
I know we’re gonna get it, get it together somehow
We’re gonna get it, get it together and flower
We’re gonna get it, get it together
I know, we’re gonna get it, get it together and float
We’re gonna get it, get it together and go
Up, and up, and up
Lying in the gutter, aiming for the moon
Trying to empty out the ocean with a spoon
Up and up, up and up
How come people suffer? How come people part?
How come people struggle? How come people
Break your heart? Break your heart?
Yes I wanna grow, yes I want to feel
Yes I wanna know, show me how to
Heal it up, heal it up
See the forest there in every seed
Angels in the marble waiting to be freed
Just need love, Just need love
When the going is rough, saying
We’re gonna get it, get it together
I know we’re gonna get it, get it together somehow
We’re gonna get it, get it together and flower
We’re gonna get it, get it together
I know, we’re gonna get it, get it together and float
We’re gonna get it, get it together and go
And you can say what is, or fight for it
Close your mind or take a risk
You can say it’s mine and clench your fist
Or see each sunrise as a gift
We’re gonna get it, get it together
I know we’re gonna get it, get it together somehow
We’re gonna get it, get it together and flower
We’re gonna get it, get it together
I know, we’re gonna get it, get it together and float
We’re gonna get it, get it together and go
Up, and up, and
We’re gonna get it, get it together
I know we’re gonna get it, get it together somehow
We’re gonna get it, get it together and flower
We’re gonna get it, get it together
I know, we’re gonna get it, get it together and float
We’re gonna get it, get it together and go
Up, and up, and up
Fixing up a car to drive in it again
When you’re in pain, when you think you’ve had enough
Don’t ever give up
Don’t ever give up
Believe in love
“Ecco la vita che hai cercato di gettar via. Ecco la tua seconda possibilità. Ecco il destino di cui hai cercato di liberarti inventandoti cento false identità, cento falsi ruoli. All’inizio ti apparirà come una disgrazia, ma invece è la buona sorte mascherata, poiché anche il fato, attraverso cento metamorfosi, sa seguirti nelle tue fughe. Ora, finalmente, diventerai quello che volevi essere.”
“Una vita immaginaria” di David Malouf
