Coldplay - 2000 Miles (Cover of The Pretenders)

[sofiacatharina01]

oh, alright. Now I Know. It's a cover

[sofiacatharina01]

A question: What is the album??????????

[camila25bells]

@sofiacatharina01 is not an album, is the cover of a song, and it was the most download song of the year

[greenday9472]

I think this is way better than the original! awesome!!!!

[robl10001]

@greenday9472 Tou must be 10 years old to make such a comment.

[RLSteffler]

love the original, but this is an amazing remake!

[sonofsilence]

intresting cover version. I've added this to my FB group dedicated to covers. It's called "The Guilty Pleasure of the Cover Version" Feel free to join in.

[pukmin]

As much as i love Coldplay i think i prefer the original. Still this is amazing!

[thisismaribethe]

This is a sweet cover :) Fantastic tribute to the Pretenders!!

[dagur2589]

wow all the old songs are the best

[TheEllieChicken]

christmaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaas <3

[AriochStarr]

Ok, you know what I DON'T like about this cover? It's when they sing together (1:38), it just doesn't sound right, other then that it's fine

[thisismaribethe]

@AriochStarr But it kinda give the song a coldplay flair!

[AriochStarr]

@thisismaribethe But it doesn't sound good

[thisismaribethe]

@AriochStarr we can agree to disagree then! lol to each is own. That's the beauty of music, no two minds are alike nor tastes. :)

[Mylo5Xyloto]

who sang the background vocals in this song

[wazzup123275]

@Mylo5Xyloto I think thats their drummer Will Champion, that's the guy who ususualy sings background, and, although this may be spam, he sings great in "Death will never conquer"

[icemarkful]

I did indeed

[icemarkful]

personally, coldplay could pull off any song re-sung in my opinion. Chris Martin just seems to be getting better and better.

[Tomahawk1505]

@icemarkful I agree, did you hear Coldplays rihanna cover the other day on BBC Radio 1 Live Lounge?

[yami241000]

muy bueno.. sera q estoy pasando por una isituacion similar.. me siento muy identificada :)

[Tokyoflower2011]

My 2000 miles video is much better.Please watch it.

[Italynine2]

CELEBRATE YOUR MOM'S 4SS AND ENJOY COLDPLAY'S MUSIC WHICH IS THE BEST OF THESE LAST YEARS

[anna74103]

this is beautiful.

[Criticalizzy]

I find this version better than the original. And I'm a Pretenders fan. This version is much more intimate. And I can finally understand the words. Great job, Coldplay.

[RCJGee]

Pretenders version is much better. This doesn't capture the spirit of the original at all.

[koalagirl1234]

It's pretty good, but I have to admit (sorry Coldplay) the Pretenders version is better. It is, after all the original.

[TheSimpsonsFanGirl]

oh my God I remember listening to this all the time last Summer I forgot about it! this is so beautiful, it makes me want to cry. I'm so happy I found it!

[mrtamberineman123]

His voice is so weak and emotionless, no sorry this is a complete fail Cold Play are out of their depth.

[Calpheus]

@mrtamberineman123 What the hell? Are you deaf?

[mrtamberineman123]

@Calpheus No coldplay are just shit.

[Lovelyology]

@mrtamberineman123 thats not very nice

[Lovelyology]

@mrtamberineman123 thats not very nice. coldplay is one band, it should be is

[hsain1]

can't wait for christmas to listen to this :) lots of emotions

[Mansy9]

One of my favorite from The Pretenders. No one.....not even Cold Play should attempt it. However, they do a good job.

[efvio]

time only heals what no matters anymore

[SylviaRose1000]

Fucking trash

[PureFreeRide1]

I love the piano, I like the sound of Chris' voice...

[nandc2009]

This is a really great version. 2000 Millllllleeeeeeessssss - it's very far. I love listening to this at Christmas.

[hueycarn]

I MISS MY EX TOO :( ALOT

[grgnaz]

no way some song should not be re made ever.....

[LILYnBROCK]

I have never heard the Pretenders song, but I know I LOVE this one cause my son dedicated it to me, so when I hear it, it makes me cry, I just LOVE it!!!! I Love Coldplay!! :D

[Danyboy166]

k3304 The comment was aim at the quality of cold plays cover a bit of Christmas spirit was being sent by me to all, with this comment I am not at school if you must find Christmas in your dictionary well you could not be having a good Christmas BAH! HUMBUG!

[ultramansato]

merry christmas everyone!

[enickma]

I might like this song if I didn't know the original by the Pretenders .... it makes this almost unlistenable. If you want to hear a great re-make, listen to KT Tunstall's remake

[eyadsalah]

@enickma

i agree with you KT tunstall much better

[YK91XD]

@enickma i personaly like this version more !

[SylviaRose1000]

@YK91XD Fag

[gokipoki123]

@enickma You realy don't know what are you talking about :)

[caleablanca]

.....2000 miles is very far through the snow

I think of you wherever you go go gooo govedo axxaxx

[Danyboy166]

Great cover MERRY XMASS !

[k3304]

@Danyboy166 , it's spelt Christmas. You won't find it next to xylophone in the dictionary

[peter35able]

All the best from Poland great band,great song

[su79nioj]

It's a lovely cover, but his voice is a bit flat - especially for what sounds like a studio recording.

[janoylee]

When you listen to this over again it... you realise how truly wonderful this version is. Chris has a unique voice and Coldplay are... genius...:)

[LowleyUK]

@janoylee Couldn't agree more :D Chris is a total genius.

[11sunnywing]

I would love to hear Eddie Gore do this tonite!

[DanTheBass]

@Nanoporo 1000

Listen carefuly....The singer is out of tune from the begining to the end... It's not a blame, just a fact. Maybe it was the wrong night to record this song.;-)

(I really like Coldplay's music, indeed) Anyway... If you this version pleases you, tat's fine!

Have a nice day...

[LowleyUK]

@DanTheBass He's not and thats a fact.

[DanTheBass]

@LowleyUK

He is...And that's a fact... (Time to close this debate, cause it's endless ;-)

Try to play-along with the vocals with a pitched instrument (piano, guitar, whatever...) You'll notice the sublte difference between what you play and what he sings. One more time: i really like Coldplay AND the Pretenders, this song is beautiful, it's a very nice idea to play it Piano/voice.... Too bad, chris Martin's singing is not at his best!

[agamemnon67]

How he think he could pull this off I have no idea, almost arrogance, for those that like it, got to the original by the Pretenders.

[lynottlives]

if they had done that slower it would have been amazing. still a good cover though

[gintonic73]

thumbs up



[surfasteve68]

Iove this, its my favourite xmas song, and a lovely version !

[cybertubehen]

Sooo beautiful....very special rendition, and my personal favorite. Christmas-y and romantic, mmmmm.....a million thumbs up!

[DanTheBass]

Great song, indeed...Nice idea to try it Piano/Voice....But the singer is clearly out of tune: Too Bad :-S

[Nanopro1000]

@DanTheBass

No he's not...

[jakerox876]

they ruined this song

[lifeonmars45]

rubbish...he is out of tune and does this song no justice.

[transfer1ful]

I very simply ... Fucking love this tune!

[603mac]

@transfer1ful swearing at Christmas time? terrible.......but hey fuck it you're right! it's ace!!

[Punktowner]

Horrible.

[anthonybeer]

Great cover. Would love to learn this. The Pretenders version was great but this isn't Coldplay trying to better it, just covering a great Xmas song in their style.

[avarismimi]

Cool Song:)

[roodstrikje]

My favorite christmas song ever! Really love it!

[darkness21i]

i love this song, i love coldplay, i love pretenders, but coldplay's version is miserable compared to the original. its good,but nothing compared to pretenders

[SachaTheEvilOne]

im throwing darts at justin bieber picture's

[KKOPPI]

@SachaTheEvilOne

XD

[Jamie131970]

This is Nice !... but not a patch on the original by The Pretenders

[annaakhmatova]

Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr­rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr. Why the fuck cant i find the original, and why the fuck are coldplay covering this song. Bad mood

[eutheria]

@annaakhmatova Just search for pretenders 2000 miles, it came up easy for me.

[antimanc9]

@eutheria - he/she has a point though, why cover one of the best Xmas songs ever made ? They couldn't improve it....

[drivebyjoey]

I never meant to lose you, Annie. Come back please? I'll be in the place we once called Home..

[MrVICENTE68]

A ti Esther que a pesar de estar alli, siempre me reconfortas

[jonevanswhu]

oops Mr Martin leave this one to Chrissie

[cnhemingway]

Where can I download this...legally please.

[IIIIndependent]

@cnhemingway legal is never free i guess)

[cnhemingway]

@IIIIndependent it doesn't need to be free.

[nabhasans]

@cnhemingway its not legal but its free. at listentoyoutubecom

[boudiemaster]

@cnhemingway

Itunes?

[cnhemingway]

@boudiemaster not on there, but i found elsewhere. thanks!

[thekiterunner22]

would someone PLEASE post a video showing me how to play this?!?! PLEEEEEAAAASSSSEEEE! its too beautiful to not learn how to play it :(

[ljungkvistt]

i want to start crying because this is so undiscribably beautiful

[paulgreenaway]

soon be crimbo!! yep he!

[TyMan1229]

Is this from an EP or.....?

[kelsmuno]

I don't know the original, but this is a gorgeous song. I absolutely love the piano part. I'm going to see if I can find it somewhere.

I fucking love Coldplay.

[Ferriz03]

i still miss my X :(

[PegasusUKNZ]

@Ferriz03 thanks for sharing with the group, but this is not a therapy session this is a youtube comments section, not the place to speak your problems my friend.....

[numbereightyseven]

@PegasusUKNZ : Let people be themselves, my friend. Let people be.

[PegasusUKNZ]

@numbereightyseven i agree, but there is no reason for them to post things like that, it serves no purpose and there depressing comments. i would let it be if they weren't on nearly every coldplay song.

[HelliSbAckAgain]

@Ferriz03 ;(

[wideeyewonder]

Why don't you get back together...maybe they miss you too!

[javierprice2674]

actually i don't live there i live in trinidad and tobago but if you know of someone who has the music sheet please mail it to me @ yaracuy2674@yahoo.com thanks

[devonhayley]

Now now people, this version isn't bad, its quite nice for what it is. I still love the original more, but Im not upset by this rendition.

[javierprice2674]

anyone knows where i can get the piano music sheet for this song thanks.. javier

[goldiana1]

@javierprice2674 javier..if you live in Mexico City?? maybe Perisur, Sala Chopin.

[philmia123]

Yeah right, this version sucks balls and they even got the opening lyric wrong; it's HE'S gone...not she's gone douchebag! I can't stand it when people say "I like this one better than the original," or some stupid shite like that knowing damn well that they had no clue there even WAS an original version until they heard some lame cover.

[NateSean]

@philmia123 So...are you angry? :p

[mavsmanjr]

@philmia123 hey douche, if you dont like the video dont comment on it. thanks.

[Preskeezy]

@philmia123 oh wow this song has a cover? i didnt know. i bet its not as good as this AWESOME original though /sarcasm

[AnberlinFtwwwBLAT]

@philmia123 Are you a dumfk no I'm serious,Okay the lyrics in covers doesn't have to be the same so stfu if you don't know it I've seen tons of covers (Coldplay-Gravity/Embrace-Grav­ity) And it wasn't all the same just part of if they just changed it slightly so stop being a little boy and crying all over it second of all It's our opinion about the version not yours don't try to change it you can say your opinion but we do not care if its not the same so stfu will you?

[AnberlinFtwwwBLAT]

@philmia123 Anberlin-Enjoy the silence/Breaking Benjamin-Enjoy the silence/Depeche mode-Enjoy the silence

[sotheresthisboy101]

chris is an angel.<3

[greenday9472]

I think this is a lot better than the original. I really like this version! :)

[jamo387]

Pales compared to the pretenders. This guys a wanker.

[jxbusic]

@jamo387 Spot on mate. I was looking for the Pretenders' version and thought I'd see how this pack of clowns butchered it. And Jesus, did they ever...

[iDrowzee]

@jxbusic You're entitled to your opinions, but just remember that there are Coldplay fans all around this page that can easily engulf you. :)

[dolorse]

love this song... melts my heart each time I hear it.... such a lovely song thanks for sharing :)

[pantherfan17]

its almost July yet I find myself listening to this song....bring on Christmas!!!!!!

[ThiliRocks]

the best freaking band in the world.. <3 'em

[editor42]

I like listening to this song

it make's you think that it's Chrismas

[L2Slevin]

I love listening to this song - even if it is not christmas time right now :-)

[MrJackAustralia]

:)))))

[toddsmitts]

Dang. I misread it and thought it was a cover of 500 Miles by the Proclaimers... Not bad though.

[MusicManBurk]

@toddsmitts xD

[cudsey2000]

@toddsmitts exacly wat i thought

[Maaaiiikee05]

love the piano play and the voice

[rmeuwese]

superbe, what a voice!!!!!

[jonny295906]

blow your nose chris!

[indeeney]

it's beautiful. his voice can make any song better than it already is

[LowleyUK]

@indeeney YES I AGREE! IVE ALWAYS THOUGHT THIS!

[ooziewoo]

[TheAkeh]

@ooziewoo lol

[owo27]

@transonicbuoy1

???why???

[LowleyUK]

@transonicbuoy1 you're dreadful, post something you've done thats better you gommo

[thehognias]

@LowleyUK

ha ha you told him...

what's a 'gommo'?

[LowleyUK]

@thehognias Lol a British slang term for idiot or retard, pretty offensive actually, I probably won't use it anymore, but in this one case I think it's totally acceptable because this is certainly not dreadful and to think otherwise means you are retarded

[Naiuhz]

@mark60060, and you can do better?

[thehognias]

you're joking

[jgthetest12]

ye very good

[jgthetest12]
