The origin of "The man who is tired of London"

Did you know that the video for 'The man who is tired of London' was a spontaneous love letter to the city? Chris Martin wanted to record it as a reminder that, no matter how far you go, you should never grow tired of the streets that saw you grow up.

The most incredible part is that it was filmed so discreetly that most of the Londoners appearing in the video didn't even know they were walking right next to the lead singer of Coldplay! It is the perfect reminder that in London, we are all part of the same song.

Extra Fact: The Samuel Johnson quote that Chris mentions is his personal motto for when he needs to remember why he loves what he does.

🇬🇧 "When a man is tired of London, he is tired of life; for there is in London all that life can afford."
