  1. “All My Love” Official Music Video by Coldplay - In December, Coldplay released the music video to “All My Love,” a song from their latest album, Moon Music. The video is a brilliantly crafted, deeply moving celebration of the work of Dick Van Dyke, who turned 99 years old on December 13, 2024. It contains metaphorical messages about the value of human life, the nature of love, the bittersweetness of growing old and facing death, and the best kinds of legacies.
