Natalie Imbruglia - Lukas

[astolomie]

can someone explain this song's meaning to me? my english ist too bad. my name is lukas, too!

[joshall24]

Best song on Come to Life. But, I wish she could release a more acoustic version of this as seen in her gigs.

[TheKengerBenger]

What're the chords to this song????

[trevskiw2008]

Chris Martin was in the Studio one day and wrote something which he called the greatest song he had ever written, he told the rest of the band, and they could not wait to hear it, then he said.. Actually i gave the song to someone else. And this is that song!

This escelated rumours Natalie and him were having an affair..

True story from a reliable source who has personally met and talked with him ;)

[TheKengerBenger]

@trevskiw2008 This probably would've been a big hit.

[pranavc]

@TheKengerBenger THIS should have been the album's lead single - NOT "Want"! This would have definitely resurrected Natalie's career in the US. This song has 'hit" written all over it but even "hits" need promotion - something this song simply did not get it - except for one internet radio station that played this song a lot when it released.

[sharpnova2]

coldplay.

i didn't even know coldplay wrote this but it sounded "coldplayish" to me when i heard it.

sure enough it was written by the genius chris martin.. and sung by this.. w/e of a singer.

[Avelinax94]

My boyfriend's name is Lukas <3

[bella73272]

Fantastic I love it:)), beautiful Natalie you awesome

[MrRascasseman]

While we'd have all loved to have heard a full Coldplay version, there's no doubting that this is the next best thing. She does a really fabulous job!

[zowi1]

dont like her voice/accent :/

[VireLXII]

Here cause of Coldplay... Awky

[Luky113]

My name is Lukas too lol

[ThiloLukas]

My name is Lukas :)

[MasterMinh89]

I love you Natalie_________~

[georgielund07]

How I love her warm and sympathetic voice! I listened to two of her albums on my iPod today when travelling home. Great company! *smile*

[Tomahawk1505]

awesome that you know this song is by coldplay dude, and diddnt just post it blindly saying it was natalies, shes good, but its just great you achknowldge the songs roots

[CLBOO6]

Haha, I totally can hear Coldplay all over :) great song.

[fd4646]

would have been better on viva la vida

[Crazycupmuffin]

coldplays version is better

[bandung11]

@Crazycupmuffin Which Coldplay version? :'D Coldplay only made the instrumental ;p

[Crazycupmuffin]

@bandung11 I heard it ages ago online somewhere but i couldnt get it n it pissed me off. :(

[bandung11]

@Crazycupmuffin Coldplay never had a voice version of 'Lukas'

[symustafa1996]

@Crazycupmuffin They never released a vocal version, so...........

[santy300]

This sounds like Beautiful Day, by U2. Also produced by Brian Eno!!!!

[MrRascasseman]

@santy300 I really don't see any viable comparison. Massive fan of both bands but no real similarity. However Beautiful Day is similar to another song which is a-ha's The Sun Always Shines On Tv. The Sun Always Shines On Tv though is a better song in my opinion!

[likro370]

lukas ich will ein kind von dir!!!

(aber ein junge xD)

[MrNickelCobalt]

My name isn't Lukas.

[Kiseki91]

What a cheerful song. I'm glad she collaborated with Chris Martin, since their collaboration resulted in this wonderful song. :)

[Yoriskumo]

I love Coldplay version u.u

[ColdplaySolvesAll]

I love this song, and I'd like to hear the Coldplay version, but Natalie has a nice voice and I can't tell if it's bad or good that I pegged this for Chris's writing style before reading the description haha

[Jacko032k]

although I'm dying to hear the Chris/Coldplay version (aren't we all!), there's no reason to bag Natalie, she's absolutely fine and her vocals do the song justice.

Besides, this song is the Coldplay version anyway, just with Natalie's vocals on top instead of Chris's...

[galawisjohn]

ooh ooh ooh ooh,

I thought 4 people never asked.

[galawisjohn]

ooh ooh ooh ooh,

I thought you'd never ask

That chorus made me addicted to this song

[pie2these]

you know chris and natalie were together in 2001 for a year before he met paltrow

he gave this song to her to kind of close that door and i think it reminded him of her and their relationship like listen to the lyrics and you can tell. he also wouldnt give it to anyone because he said "it's the best thing ive ever written on the phone with natalie so yup i can see why he did that i wouldve done the same thing my self

[RobinMulderStudios]

This should be a duet Coldplay ft Natalie

[SonOfMana100]

I actually like this song a lot. No need to give her a hard time.

[Dhomen]

so very Coldplay!.

[guilleimon]

i would like listen to this song sang by Chris Martin :)

[ThePrenian]

Coldplay !!!

[georstarcp]

chris swettie, why did you gift songs?

[MrSyncGFV]

And you faggots who are saying she's a bitch because she took the song from Coldplay, it were the coldplay themselves that gave this song to her, because the found it better. If you don't agree, than you're not a real fan of Coldplay, sorry.

[MrSyncGFV]

@doublefalse Chris Martin made the song and the lyrics and gave it to Natalie. You can find the pre-version of it by coldplay if you want.

[doublefalse]

sounds so CHRIS MARTIN

[TheBigTano95]

Typical Coldplay sound

[TheKengerBenger]

@TheBigTano95 Is that good or bad?

[TheBigTano95]

@TheKengerBenger Good, Coldplay is my favourite band :D

[ThePrenian]

@TheBigTano95 haha, it is from coldplay. They gave it to her

[Motormuis004]

@ThePrenian I think that is why he wrote it...

[Verithiell]

@TheBigTano95 it was created by coldplay and then give to Natalie :D

[TheBigTano95]

@Verithiell I know :D

[kainward]

youre a bitch, let coldplay have this song

[kalsikum]

@kainward haha made me laugh

[vervelinda]

it would be beautiful if chris martin would sing it, I think... but I like her version too.

[feewert42]

give it back to coldplay!!!!!!! D:

[samdemaeyer]

@feewert42 no

[tauescor]

Beautiful!!!



[lukas123lulu]

my name is lukas hehe i'm brasilian

[CoN0R115]

Give it back to Coldplay so I can haz my lyrics bitch.

[Kristina83Gorbiable]

if will coldplay play it, it would be much more better!!!!!!!

[theinck]

Yay for Coldplay.

[meyer44615]

I like it but I wish coldplay would have kept it!!! They make everything sound like it came straight from heaven!

[Klackala]

coldplay's version is MUCH BETTER! :)

[BlueSlizzy]

Coldplay <3

[fotozeus]

If only it was Luka; that's my name, and I'm a writer :D

[nerebeht]

@MrZellron

You clearly haven't heard of Kate Bush, Stevie Nicks, Bjork, Tori Amos, Madonna, Carly Simon, Dolly Parton, Joni Mitchell, Enya, Annie Lennox or any other such long-standing, well-respected & successful female singer-songwriters. There are tonnes more besides - even modern acts like Lady GaGa & Adele write their own stuff. What I'd like to know is why most men disregard the musical talent of female singers?

[SophieNeveudancer]

Now...Coldplay could make a "cover" of this song and we would finally have the complete version of Lukas... YES! whatever i just want to hear this song from them!

[aleksan737]

супер!

[thatguystefan]

Oh my goodness. This song is amazing. Why did coldplay have to give it to Natatlie? Although Natalie is amazing and she does a fantastic job too. Either way, I love this song :D

[amessage08]

God this tune is so good.. Shame Coldplay didn't release this! You can tell Coldplay only gave this away because it would'nt sound good him singing about a man..That Piano rift is sooooooooo damn good! Should have reworked the lyrics and banged it on Viva la vida

[bandung11]

Chris Martin _O_

[KKOPPI]

Did Coldplay write this? PLEASE answer

[87KillerJoe]

@KKOPPI Chris Martin of the Coldplay wrote this song...

[KKOPPI]

@87KillerJoe

honestly I find that a shame...I would love it if it was a coldplay song.

[Solicitude7]

@KKOPPI Yes.

Also mainly, use google.

[Diogocsa8B]

@KKOPPI yes, they did...

[avishek7arsenal]

@KKOPPI ya!

[wetubeyourlife]

Hello Natalie im the Lukas you are talking about :)))))

[SantiagoSoul]

I'm Santiago Lucas =) and freak fan of Coldplay

[Forluktube]

I'am Lukas too

[Forluktube]

I'am Lukas too :)

[Moza47]

coldplay rule the world!!!

[theburningcocroach]

coldplay!!!!

[bassingtons]

definitely beautiful... only Coldplay sensibility can make this

[lukaspascual]

I think this song is made for me...

[Luky113]

My name is Lukas too lol

[LukasDiSparrowReel]

Uh lol... My Name Is Lukas :D

[mesicnielf]

I don't know how to feel about the last sentences of this song .... it's so powerful (:

[taydify]

feels coldplayish......... for real.

[wetubeyourlife]

Lukas!!!!!

[Dafis]

Best Song..... Ever. I love my name.

[moonblader100]

i think about half guys who watch this video is Lukas WELL I AM :)

[LukasDiSparrowReel]

@moonblader100 lol :D Im Lukas Toooo lol

[polishlover83]

I AM LUKAS

THANKS FOR THIS SONG

[BeforeMagellan]

@polishlover83 same here xD

[polishlover83]

@BeforeMagellan

:)

[MrRascasseman]

Imbruglia does an amazing job here and its just excellent. However like so many die hard coldplay fans out there I will die a unsatisfied man if I don't hear some form of a Coldplay version in the future!!

[prljavi13]

All i read in these comments is "coldplay". You're on the wrong video then. I must say that i hate coldplay, but those songs Chris Martin wrote for Natalie are really great, only because are sang by Natalie. Maybe I like their style, but not that pussy kind voice of his. In this combination it works perfectly for me, it would be great if they made a whole album like this.

[MsBialinda]

Muitoo legal

[charcharlotte10]

such a beautiful song! natalie has done an amazing job! chris would have done an amazing job aswell, but i love natalie :)

[sunajketrab666]

this song makes me so flying on a cloud, really comforts after stresfull day or any other bad happenings :)

[1995JTR]

damn this could be such a good coldplay song..... it's still good though

[nvyou101]

its great how nat sings this ALRIGHT!

[Porcupinetrain]

I love brian eno,cris martin is a real geniuous!

[masamune131]

I'll bet if more cool version of coldplay ^.~ v

[Marty44680]

Underrated singer. 

[Hyphin1]

This sounds like it actually would have worked REALLY well if Chris had held on to it.

I can see Jonny all over the guitar. Hm.

Having said that, this version isn't ALL bad either. The lyrics are classic Coldplay, imho.

[Selur1000]

Why in the world did he give his song to someone else? Chris Martin knows he's the only who brings life into his own songs. Terrible mistake! I I wonder if Chris Martins' version is out their?

[lovecutie108]

chris....

why babe? WHY?

[Tomahawk1505]

@lovecutie108 hey you! you just read about this song on coldplaying?

[lovecutie108]

@Tomahawk1505 haha yeah i needed to hear it to see how big of an idiot chris was for letting it go!

[TheDarkViolin]

I hate Chris Martin for giving her this amazing song. I can imagine Coldplay playing Lukas and would be extraordinary!!

[blizzfool]

i can definitely hear Chris martin in this. but i can also tell that it sounds much much better with her voice than it would with Chris martins. he's a great singer but this really sounds great with her voice

[LowleyUK]

@blizzfool stupid comment, chris martins voice suits his own songs best.....

[radepeder]

danas je dvan dan

[jak7f22]

why this is not a single? just a single from come to life? i hope she'll come back with something new very soon

[IEnvyGwyneth]

Her voice is too soft for my liking. I would love to hear Chris sing it though. The lyrics are kinda cool.

[llcooldog1]

youtube.com/watch?v=EP7fjohegR­U

[Constavlos]

what happened to the whole 'rock' album, that was recorded at the end of the white lillies album?

[PixlPianta]

It's nice to hear this kind of song from a female as opposed to Coldplay once in a while.

[LukasCatkey]

My pseudonym is Lukas! I'm definitely feature this song in my next video! :)

[FreakingAngryPirate]

My name is Lukas. hahaha

[MsEmmaleigh25]

""According to The Sun, Imbruglia and Chris Martin of Coldplay collaborated on "a string of tracks, which are likely to feature on her forthcoming album".[10] Martin later confirmed the information. In an interview he said he had asked Natalie to record one of the band's songs which, he thinks, turned out great adding "we've given her the best Coldplay song of all time [. . .] she sounds [. . .] brilliant on it. "" [WIKIPEDIA]

[PixlPianta]

My new favorite song

[lukas1258]

great my name is Lukas xD

[Icykiller11]

Gawd can someone upload the Coldplay version (Someone has to have it!!!!)

Love her version, though, great song!

[blizzfool]

@Icykiller11 i honestly don't think they ever recorded it

[Icykiller11]

@blizzfool yeah, my thoughts too, but there could be some sort of rough demo lost around somewhere... well, we have Natalie's version anyways!

[quetureputisima]

i love this woman

[1995JTR]

wow this sounds so Coldplay:D I wonder if this is the song on which Chris Martin claimed that he gave away his best song:P

[moonblader100]

me name is lukas this name is popular in lithuania ;D

[seli2point0]

it sounds so Chris Martin-like...damn chris i luv to death but come on...keep your songs hun...specially the good ones...which is...all of them!

[Lukas14141414]

Nice to hear your own name in the song - first Lukas song with "k" I´ve ever heard, and not so bad...!

[Phe1991]

Song should be named 'Lucas' instead of 'Lukas' :/

[Nullbunker]

@Phe1991 he's german. they met in dusseldorf. germans prefer a hard "k".

[Phe1991]

@Nullbunker

Well, I'm german too :D

And I really like my "c"

[blizzfool]

i understand why this wasn;t on viva lavida now, its just doesnt fit at all. she dus it justice though. really good for her.;

[dyzma33]

w jej głosie można się zakochać

[Ctramell]

you coldplay fans please lie down,

natalie did an amazing job with this song, and it faaaar fits her. anyways I give probs to brian eno his work is far better then coldplay's- so blahh XP

[babypianocries]

@Ctramell you read my mind completely-

anyways love you nat =]

[moonblader100]

me name is Lukas :D

[soniasonia]

smoking ruined her voice

[kyliemad]

I love this song, but Fun, another Chris Martin, is much better! He claims it's the best song he's ever written!

[tomoe1986]

There should be more of these 'ooohs'. They pretty much make the song so brilliant.

[ellenwaldorf]

Ok Chris....

Keep the dam songs!

[WitteTroost]

It's kind of funny that the song wasn't 'good enough' for Viva but is for her. I think it would've been an amazing song for Coldplay though. It's great of him to give others who want it his songs. Otherwise it probably would've been 'thrown away'

[SadiraLaveda77]

i don't think it's cause it's wasen't good enough.. it just didn't fit on the album...amazing song though wow nice

[WitteTroost]

hm you've got a point there. But they could've put it on Prospekt March. Ah well

[iFamot222]

Chris.... U RETARD! KEEP YOUR GOOD SONGS! FIRST GRAVITY, NOW THIS??

[champtawatchai]

I will always love you, Natalie :)

[IStarfishI]

yeah you are right, its an lovely tune, and coldplay would've played this awesome! but i think its cool Chris writes songs for other artists. And Natalie is doing an awesome job!

[Josuf1]

It´s like coldplay had changed their lead singer... I´d pay a million quid jost to hear coldplay playing this song.

[roxy2488]

I'd LOVE to listen to this song played by Coldplay.

[stevencarroll90]

Man, Chris Martin should have kept this and done it on Prospekt's March EP

[coldplaytunisia]

simply COLDPLAY <3

[chars62]

excellent song , i love it ... Natalie you are amazing... nice voice

[CelticSa]

GRANDE NATALIE simply the best

[LowOnCreativityy]

The song is SO Coldplay.

[TwiliticHorizon]

Is everybody here just for Coldplay? xD

Hmmm :) It's so Coldplay.

[bassingtons]

@TwiliticHorizon completely agree.... but it's cute... BECAUSE there is Coldplay everywhere on it....

[akVideos]

結構すきかも♪

[akVideos]

結構すきかも。

[Hilary112]

oh man its like.... they wasted a good song giving it to her :\ i like it very much but i really cant stand imbruglia XD

[vivacoldplayvideo]

Nice Coldplay song!!

its a shame Coldplay didnt used it

[pranavc]

I heard new Natalie Imbruglia album this evening - and all I can say is WOW!!! Incidentally, "Lukas" is getting high-rotation airplay (8-9 plays a day) on "Radio Creme Brulee" - an American internet radio station that features current pop/rock music from both sides of the Atlantic alongside guilty pleasures, forgotten gems, and radio hits from the 80s, 90s, & 00s. To listen, type "radiocremebrulee" in your google search field and it should be the 1st result.

[Koba123]

Why did coldplay give this song away? Geniuses but crazy. Her version is great though.

[Roberthenryii]

This would have been a great coldplay b-side.

[coldplay77290]

lol

[ron7beck23]

I love coldplay NOT her

[LowOnCreativityy]

LOVE IT <3 Sounds like Coldplay <3

[coldplay77290]

the chorus looks a lot like the end of death and all his friends by coldplay

[coldplay77290]

music and lyrics by chris martin of coldplay!!

[mariekje87]

gorgeous

[adel1209]

music by coldplay ..voice by Natalie ... nice song !!

[pranavc]

Why is the album promotion campaign for this so terrible - especially when such beautiful songs such as "Lukas" are on this album. I feel so sorry for Natalie Imbruglia. I think she is so talented an achingly gorgeous. Yet, she puts her bets on incompetent PR folks.

[tomoe1986]

To say it's beautiful would be an understatement! It's genius!
