Coldplay - Lost! (Official Music Video)

"Lost!" comes from Coldplay's fourth album, Viva la Vida or Death and All His Friends, from 2008, and it went out as the record's third single that November. The band wrote it together and co-produced it with Brian Eno and Markus Dravs, and it's built on a thumping, handclap stomp and a churchy organ drone, a defiant, marching kind of pop. Reviews were generally warm.

It kept mutating. There's a hushed piano take, "Lost?", and a remix with Jay-Z, "Lost+", on Prospekt's March. When the band and Jay-Z played it at the 2009 Grammys, the live version went up for download, sold briskly and gave the song a new US peak at number 40. The official video is simply the band live in America, and fans were invited to send in homemade videos of their own.
