* HiddenTrack: The physical release of ''Everyday Life'' features a chain of eight hidden tracks in between the ''Sunrise'' and ''Sunset'' halves which play a field recording of WestminsterChimes and other ambient noise. Each one is represented by a single character ultimately spelling "GOD=LOVE"; if one wishes to get technical, this now means the band has ''three'' hidden tracks titled "O" following that of ''Music/GhostStories''.

Additional musicians from other ethnicities also contributed for the music.

** "Trouble In Town", which Town" is about how non-white people aren't safe on their own countries. The frequent PoliceBrutality audio and racism is rampant in Western countries. The sample by the end of the track song taken from a Philadelphia incident involving racial profiling in 2013 drives this point home.

''Everyday Life'' is the eighth studio album by English AlternativeRock band Coldplay, released in 2019.

It is a [[DistinctDoubleAlbum double album]], divided in two sides, ''Sunrise'' and ''Sunset''. Sonically, it's their most experimental album to date, with its influences ranging from classical, African, Middle Eastern and jazz. The album's lyrical themes tackle unity and peace, as well more politically charged topics that the band haven't tackled previously, such as racism, police brutality. Additional musicians from other ethnicities also contributed for the music.

"Orphans" and "Arabesque" were released on the same as lead singles for the album. And although the band didn't tour for the album due to environmental concerns, the band played it on its entirety live in Jordan during the album's release, with the entire performance live-streamed on the band's Website/YouTube channel.

The album is also notable for being the first Coldplay release to include profanity and be marked with a "Parental Advisory" sticker.

!!''And there are no ends to old tropes''
* AnimatedMusicVideo: Creator/AardmanAnimations created a mixed-media video for "Daddy" with real-time puppetry and hand-drawn animation.
* {{Bookends}}: The first proper song the album, "Church", and the final track, "Everyday Life", share the same note and chord progression.
* DeliberatelyMonochrome: The album cover.
* DisappearedDad: "Daddy" is from the perspective of a kid whose father has run away. To make matters worse, it's his birthday.
* DistinctDoubleAlbum: ''Everyday Life'' has a ''Sunrise'' and a ''Sunset'' half, though it fits on a single CD.
* EpicInstrumentalOpener: "Sunrise"
* FadingIntoTheNextSong:
** "Sunrise" -- "Church";
** "Daddy" -- "WOTW / POTP" -- "Arabesque";
** "بنی آدم" -- "Champion of the World".
* HiddenTrack: The physical release of ''Everyday Life'' features a chain of eight hidden tracks in between the ''Sunrise'' and ''Sunset'' halves which play a field recording of WestminsterChimes and other ambient noise. Each one is represented by a single character ultimately spelling "GOD=LOVE"; if one wishes to get technical this now means the band has ''three'' hidden tracks titled "O".
* KidsRock: Children sing in the backing of “Orphans”, and Chris’s son Moses provides the “boom boom ka” beat.
* LonelyPianoPiece: "Daddy".
* LyricalDissonance: "Orphans" is a peppy, hoot-along anthem about...the Syrian Civil War?
* MinisculeRocking: "WOTW / POTP" and "Guns".
* MultilingualSong: Verse two of "Arabesque" from ''Everyday Life'' is sung almost entirely in French, with the vocals provided by Music/{{Stromae}}, before switching back to English for the hook.
* PrecisionFStrike: Given how clean Coldplay's lyrics usually are, ''Everyday Life'' implemented the F-word enough to get ''a Parental Advisory label''.
** The first example is in a field recording of unlawful police detainment played in the crescendo to "Trouble in Town".
** Next is "Arabesque"; having sung the line "We share in the same blood" in the chorus, Chris chooses to punctuate the end of the song with "Same fucking blood!"
** And to [[RuleOfThree top it off]], Chris drops three more in "Guns", once in each chorus and another in the second verse.
* ProtestSong: Very frequent on the album. Notable examples include:
** "Trouble In Town", which is about how non-white people aren't safe on their own countries. The PoliceBrutality audio by the end of the track drives this point home.
** "Arabesque" tackles the divide between different groups of people, despite we all sharing the same blood.
** "Guns", which is a TakeThat to the United States' obsession with firearms.
* ShoutOut: "Champion of the World" contains an interpolation of "Los Angeles, Be Kind" by Owl John, a side project from Frightened Rabbit's Scott Hutchison. The song was dedicated to him, as he commited suicide a year prior to the album's release.
* TeenageDeathSong: "Orphans". Rosaline and her father are either killed or made refugees by the Syrian Civil War.
* TitleTrack: The atmospheric piano ballad that closes the album.
