"Ink" (Official Fans' Cut) on YouTube

Music video


The animated video was designed by production team, Blind. An interactive video of "Ink" was uploaded on Coldplay's official website. An official cut was made and uploaded on YouTube.


Synopsis


The official animated music video begins with a couple lying on a beach. The woman leaves the man on the beach and walks into the woods. The man takes a compass (which contains an image of the woman) and follows her. The man soon arrives at a fork in the trail, and takes the path to the right. He does not find her, and is then seen at a bar, contemplating his loneliness. The video continues with the man drifting along the ocean, looking at a cloud resembling the woman. The man soon arrives at a waterfall, but is saved by a large bird before falling down. He sees the woman in the clouds once again, but falls from the sky moments before trying to embrace her. Many papers surround the man and build a staircase. The man climbs up and looks at the stars through a telescope. The man sees many constellations of the couple. He then walks up to a shoreline and examines one of the constellations, which turns into one large star, and then proceeds in that direction. The man sails a boat toward the star for over a day, and soon arrives at a mega waterfall. Right before he falls off, the woman finally appears and saves him, and they float through the air, together once more.[3]


Live performances


The band performed "Ink" during their brief and intimate Ghost Stories Tour. They also performed the song on select dates of their A Head Full of Dreams Tour, including on April 4, 2017 in Manila to fulfill the request of a cancer-stricken fan whom lead vocalist Chris Martin visited prior to the show.[4]
