Today's Morning Edition music is from Coldplay, currently on tour in the U.S.

They were scheduled to play in Houston last Friday, but had to cancel the show because of Hurricane Harvey.

On Monday, during a show in Miami, Coldplay unveiled a tribute to flood victims. Singer Chris Martin told the crowd, "if you'll bear with us this is a new song and we'll never play this again. It's a one-off and it's called 'Houston.' We're gonna sing it in Miami for everybody here, and we're gonna send it over there to everyone who missed the show."
