Coldplay hit the Saturday Night Live stage this weekend to debut "Everyday Life," the title track off their upcoming eighth studio album. The piano-led ballad shows the softer side of the band's new material and seems to be a personal track for frontman Chris Martin, who delivered the delicate song with his eyes closed tight.
The intimate performance followed a lively, charismatic rendition of "Orphans," one of two tracks Coldplay premiered last week β they also shared a song called "Arabesque." Everyday Life is slated for a November 22 release. Watch Coldplay perform "Everyday Life" and "Orphans" on SNL below.
During a recent interview with BBC 1, Martin described the new album. "It's all about just being human," he explained. "Every day is great and every day is terribleβ¦It just feels kind of free. There's so much life bursting out on the planet."
Everyday Life is a double album split into two sections, "Sunrise" and "Sunset." Check out the tracklist below.
