Director: Anton Corbijn
Year: 2005
From: X&Y

The music video for Talk was helmed by director/photographer Anton Corbijn.

Filming took place on November 5 and November 6 at Ealing Studios, London, just before the band began a European leg on the Twisted Logic Tour. The black-and-white clip invokes a B-movie science fiction theme.

The main plot line of the music video features Coldplay as astronauts landing on an alien planet, where they re-activate a dormant robot.

In the video, when Coldplay walk around on the robot, some strange writings come out (not so hard to understand, for those who have paid attention).

The writing are, more precisely:
LLEW I LEEF EKIL ER’YEHT GNIKLAT NI
A GAUGNAL I T’NOD KAEPS
DNA ER’YEHT GNIKLAT TI OT EM

And actually they match with the sentence from ‘Talk’ lyrics
WELL I FEEL LIKE THEY’RE TALKING IN
A LANGUAGE I DON’T SPEAK
AND THEY’RE TALKING IT TO ME …

but with reversed words.
