  • best commercial of life.

  • @findthatsong I won't to put a tv commercial on YouTube do you need to ask for permission to put a ad on tv

  • I get chills because this video is so FRIKKIN AWEEOME!

  • This commercial is what got me into Coldplay. Now they are my favorite band... all because of this :p

  • WHY ISN'T THIS THEIR OFFICIAL MUSIC VIDEO??!!!

    ME AND SOME FRIENDS SAID THAT WHEN THE VIDEO CAME OUT.

  • That was one of the greatest commercials of all time for both Apple and Coldplay

  • @23c I agree

  • RIP Steve Jobs <3

  • Nothing can ever compare to Viva La Vida...It's that simple.

  • @jesseianjohn amen!

  • When I close my eyes and listen to the crescendo of the chorus, I imagine colors bursting just like that!

    Best iTunes commercial yet!

  • Those colors is what Apple was all about; who fired the REAL producers of Apple?

    They were fantastic, now i find Apple is monotone without them.

  • why couldn't apple make the entire song the ad. They did that with U2 and a bunch of others.

  • Yeah same for me, this is the ONE time that I've fallen in love with a song the very first time I heard it. I remember I kept replaying the commercial just to hear the song, hah:)

  • I remember this ad. It changed me completely.

  • When I first saw this commercial, I INSTANTLY fell in love with this song, lol.

  • Why is this video WAY better than the Official Music Video for this song???

  • Apple Srsly makes kickass ads for anything!

  • Hm... How strage is... I heard "Viva la Vida" before i heard this commercial.... and wow... now i started just to love more this song! Yeah... it's great this band, and i must to thanks for a great friend for this... Becouse he made me to love them... And also it's strange, and funny, becouse i enjoy most they songs, when i am listening with him... :) Now a few days ago, he told me, as i enjoy most, becouse he make me to "feel" Coldplay.... Thanks Z! Nono, not Zorro! ;))

  • This song made me love Coldplay.

  • 2 years later and I still get the chills.

  • Awesome song!!!!!!!!:):)

  • 1st time i saw this=oh look, another hit song...blah

    now=Coldplay-best band ever, Viva-amazing song

  • The whitest band ever, but that's not necessarily a bad thing lol. Love the song and the commercial.

  • I love apple

  • he. is. so. effing. hot.

    Chris Martin <3

  • OMG I wish the real video was like this.

  • i love coldplay. they own all. haters fuck off

  • Pretty Colours :D

  • Apple means best, hands down, no questions asked. Apple = Best in everything.

  • @mrobby Go fuck yourself. Apple = Overrated & overpriced shit.

  • @haroof LOL why are you so bitter?

  • @haroof Shut your mouth you idiot fruitcake. You think Apple is overprice thinking about how much money you will be spending to try to fix your damn PC when it gets a virus. You Ass face!!!

  • @haroof lul butthurt faggot.

  • @haroof if u hate apple so much... why are u watching this ad...

  • I remember when I saw this. I freaked out and could not wait for this album.  Now I have it. Yayyy!

  • frikkn best song everrr

  • Truly the best song ever! From the best band in the world!

    I luv how Coldplay somehow discovers the simplest, but best beats out there and make them a hit with Chris's amazing voice.

  • reminds me of when I listen to music on shrooms.

  • yepp ;) Apple replaced U2 with Coldplay! Complete fail... even though coldplay are an okay band, U2 own! :D

  • best commerical ever  exspecially from apple!

  • this vid is better than the official one

  • lol BEST commercial ever

  • I used to spazz when this commercial first started coming on tv! LOL I love it

  • Coldplay and U2 are equally good bands but the iPhone is definitely better than the blackberry

  • shuddup. the story with joe satriani is oooold [and crap.] stop telling shit bout coldplay.

  • hey im not talking crap about coldplay... theyre a very good band, im just saying.... but yea this song is still good both ways and coldplay is still good

  • Saw them live a while back, they're such awesome people! Chris and the others came up to the lawn and I was like 20 feet away from them(:

  • Haha coldplay vs. U2 and apple vs. Blackbery

  • lol i totally just commented on U2's video and said the same exact thing(:

  • hahaha yea coldplay woudl win and apple would too. :p

  • hahah i noticed that immediately

  • oh man, I remember that time period before the album came out when this commercial would come on and everybody in the house would run into the tv room and blast the volume. and then i'd quick get on youtube to watch it again :)

    oh, how i love coldplay

  • i love the editing it's fun to watch

  • love Chris Martin.

  • I love the effects on this ad, it'd be an awesome music video.

    Is there any music video that resembles this one??

  • there's a jackson five video that has a similair effect. lol

  • i like the background in this song, if they stuck to background for their original music video i would have liked it more

  • Yeah, Coldplay doesn't seem like a band that makes good music videos.

  • This will go down in the book as 'Good Times'.

  • I remember it was so amazing when they introduced it on MTV VMA's award! Amazing!

  • lol exclusivley on itunes....and limewire....and frostwire....and youtube and like a hundred other websites

  • i like the blackberry commercial way better!!!!

  • which blackberry commercial are you refering to ? 0.o

  • most likley the brand new 'Blackberry loves U2' ad, which is good, but i prefer the apple one

  • the only reason I like blackberry's more is because the music actually sounds like a commercial

  • This ad actually made me want to buy the 4th gen Nano (my 2nd gen was gettin old). I asked my parents to run one errand for me... and they accidentally bought a Zune 8. Best mistake ever!

  • Huh. The "Blackberry Loves U2" commercial IS really similiar to this Apple commercial.

    But I think the Blackberry one is better.

    :D

  • They should have done the music video like this.

  • When i was usein itunes i whent to youtube first to see if i wud buy a song but now that i use Zune Marketplace with Zune Pass i find way more music, you have to download the free software. once you use the software thats it your hocked,thats how it was for me. And the Zune Works Way better than Itunes.... way better..

  • Please, write some more anecdotes - you're a funny guy.

  • I saw a concert of them on Hershey last year, ironically they were running PCs for everything. I also just checked out the Zune site and this ad seems to be wrong about the whole "Exclusive on iTunes" It's on the Zune and AmazonMP3

  • i wish they had continue these "music video" style ads its a great way to get songs out to their customers

  • apple to me is a more "retro aspect on computers". Yes they are reliable, but you will find youyr self getting a new one in a couple of years. They have good graphics, sound is good, and just all in all look nice, but i still stay with windows because I am a gamer.

  • just saw them live in new orleans..

    amazing artists, they even sang Im a believe from smash mouth..

    really sweet all of them..

  • i like this vid sooooo much better than their actual music video

  • thank you some one who agrees with me

  • "alot of stupids"

    wtf? Honey, go back to English class.

    Anyways, Apple is awesome. Even down to the packaging. Mac's aren't expensive either, My MacBook might have cost 1 thousand dollars, but in the long run, it's gonna keep on rocking for many years. While i could of gotten a PC laptop..and have to buy an Anti-virus, film and photo editing software, and etc. Plus, with a PC i would get a shitty battery and horrid screen. My Mac could out preform any PC, anytime.

  • shut up midget.

    that's the best goddamn comeback I've seen on this site EVER!

  • Yes, but apple supports the law. Microsoft doesn't seem to care if companies get ripped off.

  • hahaha, nice joke.

  • So you hate apple because you're a crook. I get it.

  • i agree

  • Comment removed

  • i love this song, have it on my cell finally, i found it at EveryFreeRingTone. Com awesome song

  • Well if this is an official Apple ad (which I think it is) why the hell would it be made on a windows pc? That makes no sense at all.

  • Yeah you wish

  • makes me wanna play tap tap coldplay edition ^^

  • this is better than the video i like this one

  • :16 sent me chills.

  • Is it me or was that commercial influenced by drugs?

    lol

  • Epic. It's no wonder I got addicted, haha.

  • yeah their real music video was kinda lame compared to this green screen magic

  • That video is made of pure smex. PURE SMEX!

  • why oh why wasn't the actual video like this!!!

  • epic. truly epic. made me cry. (;)

  • oh, shit. this is coldplay? my world has been mindfucked...

  • colplay...magnifique ...mais alors là colplay + apple!!! pfiooouuu excellent^^ j'abuse, mais j'adore les pub de chez apple...que voulez-vous..xd

  • this video, is life.

    I love this song

  • i simply love it!

  • the graphics in this video kicks ass

  • i love this song...i bought it last night on iTunes...funny to watch a commercial of both now...

  • yeap. theyre different. get their other albums. viva la vida pales in comparison.

  • best song ever made

  • Go Coldplay!

  • When I first saw this, I watched it like 10 times

  • I like this video

  • i love it!

  • love this ad, they should run it again

  • no. you gotta pay.

  • NO!!!!!!!!!!!

  • no -- $1 per song

  • Awesome commercial!

  • greatest 30 second commercial ever.

  • My favorite commercial ever!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Is it just me or is there a audio skip at 0:23

  • yeah theres 2 audio skip's, one of them at 0:16 and the other one at 0:23.

  • Yeah but the one at 23 is extremely noticeable, the 16 isnt

  • well they only bought 30 seconds of air time per commercial, and boy does it get pricy, but they wanted to skip from beginning to middle to end, and if you ask me they did an amazing job

  • I'm not saying that it isn't expensive to air a 30 sec commercial, I'm just saying that they could have done a better job of stitching together both halves

  • Rlly? well post yourself a video of you doing it then if you could do it better, the whole songs has a different backings from middle to end and thats why it sounded like that, and you cant change the backings unless you rerecorded the song

  • that did a good job of capturing the song in 30 seconds

  • I really wish this was what the real video looked like, the real one is very odd.

    And this is one of the best songs!

  • same here i wish this was there real video to

  • lol 0:12-0:15 its his big close up xD

  • They should have made their official video look like this. It's so beautiful... I wonder how hey could make such pretty effects with a computer. Anyway, one of thee best songs ever.:b

  • i agree

  • Ah, my favorite song.... XD Just love it.

  • Truly brilliant, both the song and the clip

  • this song has been my top fave for about 2 months.

  • what is this song about

  • Its supposed to be about the crusades. " I used to rule the world" i think hes talking about the romans. How they were on top for awhile then the empire fell.

  • Yeah, it does sound alot like that. Though I think it's more of a "I had it all and then lost it all" song.

  • Aparently it has something to do with the French

  • they shoulda used this as the music video

  • totally agree... i was kinda let down when I saw the official one and it wasn't this one.

  • You should definitely check out the alternate video too. If you haven't already done so.

  • this and tat coca cola ad always up there :P

  • complete bliss.... I never get sick of listening to this song...

  • OMG I'm in love with this song, I wish this commercial was the real music video...and longer
