Stop Motion: Coldplay’s New “Strawberry Swing” Smells Like “Sorry I’m Late”, “Her Morning Elegance” and “Fly Guy” Refried


One part: Oren Lavie “Her Morning Elegance”

Two parts: Tornas Mankovsky “Sorry I’m Late”

FlyGuy

Add a whiff of Trevor Van Meter “Fly Guy”

Put ’em all together and you’ve got Coldplay “Strawberry Swing”. Maybe I’m stop-motion jaded. Or maybe I’m Coldplay-jaded. 

Meh.
