Coldplay's beautiful "A Sky Full of Stars" song just got the wacky music video treatment.
Unlike the levitation-infused music video for Coldplay's previous single, "Magic," this one shows the band sporting weird musical contraptions while marching through the streets of Sydney, Australia.

The instrument-laden outfits are an odd juxtaposition with the track's romantic lyrics ("'Cause in a sky full of stars I think I see you. You're a sky full of stars, such a heavenly view").
Regardless of the garb, front man Chris Martin looks happy, a welcome demeanor for fans, considering he and Gwyneth Paltrow split up "'with hearts full of sadness" in March after more than 10 years of marriage.
Director Mat Whitecross filmed and released the video swiftly, recording the footage on Tuesday after the band asked fans on Twitter to show up for the taping.
