Viva la Vida - Coldplay Acoustic Cover by This Allure

[gosuyun]

nice cover, in what key do you play this?

[TheGloriousMuse]

The original song is my favourite song, so i don't really like when someone covers it. But i have to say this cover is beautiful... Thanks for sharing it :)

[RandomGuy7415]

Nice playing… I like the tone… If you have time check my cover version in my channel… cU ;)

[PaTrIcIaJAn22JuNe74]

Lovely!!! I'm learning to play this....hope to be as good as you soon!! :))

[ThisAllureOfficial]

@PaTrIcIaJAn22JuNe74 ....you'll be even better! Go for it! :)

[vlim9]

very nice job bro!

[josemontenegro777]

your welcome... I know it's easy to cover a famous song, but that the feeling of the songs stays, well, not everyone has that talent, good luck!!!

[ThisAllureOfficial]

@josemontenegro777  Thank you very much. :)

[VilleMotsios]

Very good Dude!

[josemontenegro777]

[linedpaper92]

Colin,

Honestly, listening to you never gets old. I plan ondoing it in person in about 4 hrs.lol ;)

later,

you know who (you'd better.lol)

[shelladanae]

you have a really nice voice. and i really like this cover!!

your tags are really annoying though dude. if you want to get famous thats not the way to do it.

[ThisAllureOfficial]

Thank you! I'm glad you like it!

Ah yes, the "tags". I'm not really trying to get "famous"....just heard, I suppose? :)In one sense, I've found so many great, funny and touching things through YouTube videos that had lots of tags. Maybe you're right though. Hopefully they aren't needed in the future.

Either way, thank you for your lovely comment and hope you enjoy the videos that are to come! :)

[ErictheKINGofQueens]

wow, man spectacular

[ThisAllureOfficial]

Thanks, Eric. :) I see you're a baseball fan, ya?

I'm a firm Anaheim Angels supporter! Yes....I said ANAHEIM Angels....haha....because they are NOT the "Los Angeles" Angels. LA is 30 miles away for cryin' out loud! Haha.

Thanks for your taking a moment to listen, man. It's appreciated. :)

[katej92]

wow, this is good, i love your voice

[ThisAllureOfficial]

Thank you, Kate. I'm assuming that's your name. :P

I wonder if it's raining in Jolly-Old today, hey?

[Welcome2MyMusicWorld]

[Welcome2MyMusicWorld]

hello again!

Yes, I really love all your versions. Very amazing! Don;t worry, I'll wait for your upcoming videos.

Anyway, thanks too for watching the music therapy presentation I made. I appreciate it.

Keep going...=)

[mindfulmatter]

You take the song and make it your own. The sound of your guitar rocks!

Love the burning candle... you've really set the mood. :)

[ThisAllureOfficial]

Thank you! Sorry for the ridiculous response time! lol 8 months?? wow, that's lame. haha

I like candles....they're wonderful! :)

Hope you're well in Canada today!

[marianiiina]

man, the stupid tags are such a turn off. the performance is good tho

[ThisAllureOfficial]

Thank you. :) Just trying to get the word out in this wild world of wires, 1's & 0's. :P

Thanks for sharing your thoughts!

[bigmig99]

well done ... well done

:o)

[ikhebeengrotepiemel]

shut your f'in mouth and sing

[ThisAllureOfficial]

The beginning was a bit long, ya? :P

Like I'd mentioned in an earlier comment response, I was a bit nervous 'cos it was my first video. I tend to talk more when I'm nervous. Hehe. Part of my personality, I suppose.

Thanks for watching and commenting. :)

[yammzaztwo]

There's a better cover of the song on here... Search "Viva La Vida Oakbrook"

[gibsonlesmike]

very nice, 5 stars

one question: what guitar are you playing? I like the tone

[ThisAllureOfficial]

Thanks for the comment, mate! Glad you like it.

In the video, I was playing a 1972 Martin D-35 w/ a couple nicks in it & some old strings. :) I think the tone comes from the old strings! haha j/k.

If you wanted to hear it in some other contexts, the same acoustic can be heard on the song "Centerpiece" from our last album & the "We Two" acoustic demo. The "We Two" recording particularly shows it's "warmth".

Hope that helps some! Thanks for watching, mate! :)

[dih1979]

good version mate

[ThisAllureOfficial]

Thank you, kind sir. :)

[kiyana2424]

I absolutely LOVE your take on this. I am a sucker for acoustic guitar and your voice is so pure and wonderful. Please keep posting, I would love to hear more. Thank you for sharing your talent :)

[linedpaper92]

As usual... great Colin!!!

[buddyq]

Seriously... who cares about why, when, beverage choice, or where the damn candles are? Just sing the stupid song already!!!

[ThePhantomWozzler]

Buddq- I'm sat here with a glass of milk, sitting on a wooden chair....it's a little hard actually, i was gonna buy a padded one or maybe I'll just get a nice cushion.....and i totally agree with you. GET ON WITH THE SONG!

[ThisAllureOfficial]

Thanks for the comments. Sorry about the long intro. This was my first video and was a little bit nervous. I tend to ramble about unimportant things when I'm nervous. On the upside, hopefully it showed some of my personality. :)

Thanks for watching.

[ThePhantomWozzler]

I'm not used to that kind of a response. You've made me feel really bad...This is YouTube your meant to tell me and to f**k off lol. If it's any consolation to you the actual performance was awesome!

[ThisAllureOfficial]

Haha! Too true! Well, if that's what you want... j/k.

Thank you. It's appreciated. Glad you like it, mate. Hope all is well for you in the UK today. :0

[ColdDev4]

next time please don't spend 1min15secs introducing

[ThisAllureOfficial]

:) A lesson learned.  Another day comes...

[hunnydone]

Tip o the hat to you - I appreciate musical talent... From someone who has a good ear for music and an appreciation for good music... just no musical talent :( can't play an instrument... and know I sing flat... just whistle pretty well... lol You got the talent - enjoy it and enjoy letting others appreciate your talent... I do,

[tiink3rbell]

pretty good, and your cute that helps more :)

[jeans56trevor]

I'm not a massive Coldplay fan, but This Allure is a favorite. I like this version, it's raw and honest.

I like Green Tea with honey.

[jordinlovesnathan]

*applauds* good first take!  :)
