British rock band, Coldplay has teamed up with Ralph Macchio for the album’s new music video, ‘The Karate Kid.’ Watch the full video below.
The vocals come up, “As much as I could, as much as I tried / I just couldn’t seem to find the light / The trees for the wood, the wars left and right / Umbrellas with the rain in”.
Speaking about the video, it opens with Macchio schlepping his busking gear to a park, where he sets up a lively “Shine On” sign and some dancing crammed animals as he sits down at his keyboard to croon the earnest ballad.
According to a release announcing the video, the band reached out to Cobra Kai star Macchio after he said he thought “The Karate Kid” was a “beautiful track” when it was released last month.
“When Chris Martin pops up on your FaceTime asking you to help create a video to accompany what I found to be a beautifully emotional and poignant song – one inspired by a film I made over 40 years ago – there was only one answer,” said Macchio, 63, about filming the clip in which he plays a down-and-out busker. “Having the opportunity to join Coldplay in Australia at one of their legendary live shows to collaborate on this music video was nothing short of a career highlight. The synergy with Chris, the band and our director Chris Candy was as pure as any I’ve experienced. I’m excited to share this with the world.”
Recently, Coldplay has announced their 2025 US & CANADA incredible tour dates. The tour will occur on 31 May 2025, Stanford, CA – Stanford Stadium, and ends on 26 July 2025, Miami, FL – Hard Rock Stadium.
