"Birds" is a song by British alternative rock band Coldplay. It was produced by the band's long-time record producer Rik Simpson along with Norwegian production duo Stargate. It appears as the second track on their seventh studio album A Head Full of Dreams (2015) and counts with a promotional video that was released on 2 January 2016.[1][2]
Critical reception[edit]
Stuart Berman of Pitchfork called the song "a shot of taut, Phoenix-styled motoric pop that provides a rare moment of intensity on an album that’s all about arm-swaying, Super Bowl-crashing bombast".[3]
Music video[edit]
An official music video was also released by the band.[4][5][6] The video was directed by Marcus Haney. It was set to the backdrop of the Colorado Desert's famous Salvation Mountain. The entire video was shot on a Super 8mm camera.[7]
