During the filming at the Herodion, lead singer Chris Martin was notably enthusiastic and approachable, dancing, joking, and engaging with the crowd. He frequently checked if anyone needed water, as the heat was intense.

The atmosphere created was particularly friendly, with the band and the audience fully enjoying the experience.

The Greek audience sang “Feels Like I’m Falling in Love,” while the LED bracelets they wore blinked in rhythm with the song, creating a magical atmosphere.

After the recording ended, a visibly happy Chris Martin knelt on the stage, thanked the audience for their love and support, and kissed the Herodion’s floor, showing his respect for the unique venue, Greece, its history, and its culture.

Kyriakos Mitsotakis’s Message

Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis also left positive comments about Coldplay’s new music video.

“Great promotion for our country!” he wrote on his Instagram account, posting a photo of himself and his wife, Mareva, with Coldplay at the concert.

“Thank you for the fantastic experience, Coldplay,” was the Prime Minister’s message in English.

Fans’ Reactions

Coldplay fans were thrilled with their new song and left very positive comments about the music video. On YouTube, people from around the world praised the British band, particularly for their idea of translating the song into sign language.
