This past Monday, Nov. 24, Coldplay released the CD/DVD set Ghost Stories Live 2014, which featured music videos for eight of the nine songs on their most recent studio album Ghost Stories, with the sole holdout being "Ink." Today, however, the band has shared that track's music video as well, and unlike the album's other eight videos, this one is interactive.
The gorgeously animated video follows the story of a man who goes on a journey chasing after the image of a woman he loves, which he sees in the clouds, the stars, the ocean, and various other places in nature. Whenever there's a decision to be made, however (for example, which path to take in the forest), it's up to the viewer to decide, resulting in over 300 possible scenarios. Even if you don't like the song, it's still a pretty cool video.
You can check out the music video for "Ink" over at Coldplay's website.
Along with the music videos, Coldplay's Ghost Stories Live 2014 DVD also features the band's live performance at Sony Studios in Los Angeles, while the CD compiles performances from the band's recent world tour.
"The Ghost Stories show at Sony Studios was a very special moment for our band," frontman Chris Martin said about Ghost Stories Live 2014 in a statement (via Rolling Stone). "The magic theatre built by our incredible crew with the 360 screens was literally a dream come true. And it was the first time anyone outside of our studio had heard the new songs. The film is basically our original vision for the Ghost Stories album."
