On Tuesday morning ,revealed the visual for their song named in honor of actor Ralph Macchio’s most beloved character, which appears on the expandedThe Chris Candy-directed clip was filmed in Melbourne, Australia during Coldplay’s recent run of stadium shows.
“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.
Dejected, Macchio decides to try a different approach, shifting to tap dancing for his dinner as Coldplay singer Chris Martin croons, “Maybe we could share the rain/ Maybe we could dance again/ Maybe we could make the sky turn blue/ Oh Daniel knows how to make a dream/ How to make a dream come true/ Oh Daniel/ Could I be the one for you?”
When he chances into a ticket for a Coldplay show, Macchio hoists up a sign that says “Let Me Help” when Martin is suddenly hit with vocal issues. The actor triumphantly takes center stage in front of the massive crowd for his moment in the sun to end the uplifting clip.
