Coldplay - Don Quixote - New Song (HQ)

[Irridesscence]

I MUST OWN THIS SONG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[FionaCullen7]

Ole ole ole, Coldplay, Coldplay!

[jbedlion]

THIS NEEDS TO BE RECORDED, YESTERDAY!!...

[nienke096]

if this song doesn't make it on the new album i will be very pissed off.

what a beautiful song!

[vAnderSWE]

This sounds a bit like Charlie Brown!

[vAnderSWE]

Or maybe Don't let it break your heart?!

[ZonkedTooth48]

where can i get that picture?

[albert0555]

"The magic scape that the band receives when we come to Latin america..its called Don Quixote" ... *Awkward Silence* ........ *Laughs* 

Don Quixote is from Spain, not Latin America!

I still Love the Song! Great Job!

[darevil009]

@albert0555 I was just going to say that

[john9988766]

@albert0555 Chris is referring to the storyline of Don Quixote, which fits perfectly with the song and his comments, not his nationality.

[danbooth93ftw]

Great song but sounds too similar to dancing in the dark

[nidalshah]

@danbooth93ftw Shut up.

[danbooth93ftw]

@nidalshah I love Coldplay. They are my favourite band and I have been a fan since I was a kid and I'm 18 years old. It does sound similar to 'Dancing in the Dark' and I believe that is why they never released the song or promoted it. They didn't want another plagiarism case on their hands. That is my opinion in which I am entitled to, so fuck off you arse clown.

[SionadeTV]

Whether people like it or not, Coldplay will head in the direction they please. They make music for us, but they have the right to do whatever they want with THEIR music and the path it takes. If you think MX is rubbish, look up the MX songs acoustic live at BBC Radio One Live Lounge. You can hear the sheer beauty that we all have come to know as Coldplay. If you still don't like em', just listen to their old stuff! It's not that hard!

[PoopyMyFart]

The problem about Coldplay nowadays is that they abandon songs like this one and The Fall of Man that if they only refined them a little more they could be great songs. But no, they had to make Princess of China instead...

[GeorgeMaier]

I don't care about it not being in Mylo Xyloto, I just want to put a studio recording of this song on my ipod. So even if it's a B side, just give it to me Coldplay!!!!! Give it me now!!!!!

[davidnc9]

ARRIBA DON QUIJOTE DE LA MANCHA

[iLouis199]

chris martin said they were half way through an acoustic album when tey started writing mylo xyloto... i dont know why they didnt finish the acoustic one..

[Fairyous]

SOOOOOO COLDPLAY

[byuckert]

Better than Princess of China...

[iLouis199]

@byuckert a shitload better than most songs on the album

[alliemcdon]

I FREAKING LOVE THIS SONG. I wish they would have put this on Mylo Xyloto...

[Omy335]

@cawenros Well since its not an opinion your saying its fact because apparently everything you say is fact. On another note it may be Spanish, yet ask as many Latin American people as you want and think how many know about it. Okay and while we are at that, then lets forget every piece of English literature that we know since we are American, right?

[iLouis199]

@Omy335 im not american

[highwaychilli]

I think it's retarded to say Don Quixote is not part of Hispanic America. It's like saying Spanish is not part of our culture. This book was probably read by many of our grandfathers, and certainly read by most of our forefathers, shaping their minds and culture... Fucking Bolívar! That said, I think Coldplay sucks. And so does Bruce Springsteen. I don't even know what I'm doing here... Oh right. Checking out DON QUIXOTE!

[M0ises]

Great song by Bruce Springsteen.

I never could imagine that Coldplay would become a band playing just samples, Satriani, Peter Allen, Bruce Sprinsgteen...

[autry33]

@M0ises what song by springsteen are you talking about? I wanna check it out.

[FlourMelisProduction]

For some reason I always feel special when I listen to Coldplays music.

[cawenros]

1. What does Don Quixote to do with Argentina, Brazil, Mexico... Don Quixote is a SPANISH (Europe) character, who wanders through Spain in different adventures. Why Latin American countries should feel represented by this song?

2. Haven't you ever heard "Dancing in the dark" by Springsteen? Coldplay fans always talking about "good music" but actually don't know that this is PLAGIARISM. That's why it's not released in any album, they could get sued.

Ok fanboys, now come and attack me...

[japotak99]

@cawenros

Theres millions of songs from this genre, you think that every song will be different? Not everyones perfect like you. And they didnt even release it so they cant get in trouble.

[cardboard545]

@cawenros your entitled to your own opinion......your opinion just sucks

[cawenros]

@cardboard545 You are wrong. That was not an opinion, it was a comment based in two FACTS: 1. Don Quixote is Spanish, not Latin American. 2. This song is a clear example of plagiarism. The only thing that sucks in here is that your fanboy attitude does not let you see the facts.

[41Blop182]

Does anyone know if this song is available on itunes or has been recorded or something ? Because it's really AMAZING and now that I've heard it I really want it on my iPod ! ^^

[porahi]

@41Blop182 I have it, send me a private message.

[sleepwalkerstation]

hace un ratito que hemos escrito una canción sobre el Quijote....

it's been a while that we wrote a song about Don Quixote...

D.

[almaren1944]

Coldplay... Y U NO PUT THIS IN MYLO XYLOTO!?

[Verithiell]

@almaren1944 yea they could put it on mx instead of paradise or princess of china.

[ForgersProduction]

@Verithiell Better one of their intro songs, like M.M.I.X or A Hopeful Transition.

[hplovenbb20]

@Verithiell Instead of Princess of China, I'd say.

[00lifeisforliving00]

@almaren1944 Its a great song I know... But it has nothing to do with MX :/

[porahi]

Dancing in the Dark, by Bruce Springsteen!? youtube.com/watch?v=129kuDCQtH­s

[nehako]

I think this song, after some melody changes and new lyrics, somehow became "charlie brown"

[bazerrem]

They need to release an EP with Don Quixote, Car Kids and another song we haven't heard yet!

[alliecatski13]

OMG! so Don Quixote is a famous book from the 1500s written by miguel de cervantes during the spanish golden ages and i just learned about this in school today! <3 my mind has offically been blown!

[TheKoolio123]

Listen to this song while I pack a gourd-full of yerba mate every morning.. Awesome(:

[Shermann01]

@TheKoolio123 uesaaa xD

[danielscofd]

why  can´t you come to ecuador?

[jaynebugs]

For a second I thought Coldplay was gonna cover Pencey Prep's song Don Quixote!!!

[juanperezhierro]

no sabia ke coldplay hicieron un tributo a un heroe español tan universal

[72345u23hun732]

Bravo Mr. Martin

[Lamberreti]

argentina is the best country!!



[TSBA92]

It would've been cool if Mylo Xyloto featured this song on it...oh, and that they renamed the album Spanish Rain. Its still a great album though

[ucendo17]

I LOVE CASTILLA - LA MANCHA

[juanperezhierro]

@ucendo17 SO DO I

[jujunita5678]

whats b track??? sorry

[dnm25]

nice song! argentinian audiences need to learn to clap together though :D

[LeticiaDrewBieber]

BRAZILLLL VEM CA SEU LINDO KKKKK

[achmedda3rd]

wow- coldplay have enough b-sides for 2 albums, they just dont stop writing!!!! thats why i LOVE them!!!!!!!

[SpiegelCS]

WHY IS THIS NOT ON THEIR NEW ALBUM!?!?!??!?

[martilook]

@SpiegelCS Because it's way too good for the new album.

[hplovenbb20]

@SpiegelCS I was wondering the same :)

[cultchannel]

this is...... wonderfull!

gws+freinds!!!

[TheAncientForest]

I hope they release an album version of this song

[ccllaauuxx]

Y tontos el público que aplaude, no saben de su propia cultura o qué?

[ccllaauuxx]

Don Quijote is spanish! no me jodas!

[carttaha]

@ccllaauuxx Don Quijote is universal...

[Plusplis14]

@ccllaauuxx Cold play sabe que es español por el titulo es Don Quixote spanish rain

[HeidyBlu]

espero vengan a mexico de nuevo =)

[potestasofpopuli]

I was very upset this wasn't on Mylo Xyloto.

[Irridesscence]

Truly amasing

[GiacomoDamiano]

I hope to see you alive one day, to shout along with the world ...

ole ole ole coldplay ....

for you are simply THE BEST!

greetings from naples ...

[goodfrombadcomes]

damn this is beautiful

how wonderful would it be to be in the crowd

[Liny2612]

Super cooolll!

[SOGNOMIO100]

a song is everything: music, lyrics and message and it is important Don Quijote is the most important spanish literature character..not south american. When will the world learn to make different between Spain and South america? it is the same language, spoken by 350 million people but not the same culture

[carphi100]

Hey he's British- they have a penchant for not saying things correctly in other languages- and I guess getting historical characters in other countries right- but no matter the song is good.

[your1truluv]

Who the fook gives a damn if it's argentinian, spanish, mexican or brazilian, ENJOY THE MUSIC...music is life <3 Good song <3

[ghostie7790]

hahh the ending was awesome

[watermelancholyy]

Beautiful.

[FIREDELL10]

that very colorful coldplay text on the video would look very trippy in negative, i think

[rafabap93]

Don quijote is a Spanish character!! not Argentinian, Mexican or Brazilian! if you want to dedicate a song to South American audience, don't choose a Spanish character!

[MrDJHarbinger]

@rafabap93 that because most musical artists are ignorant

[MsMajul]

se parece a "We Didn't Start The Fire"

[natso2001]

Mylo Xyloto was supposed to be fresh and new. I think this track perfectly suits that theme and this would've been a great opening track for the album

[sliPPytoAD222]

@natso2001 i think this would have been great track for viva la vida ya know the foreign infulence

[ThePrenian]

@natso2001 or for a b-track for the 'car kids' single (if they release it :) )

[13kover]

@natso2001 Mylo Xyloto WAS fresh and new

[natso2001]

@13kover Yeah it was! All I'm saying is that it could have been FRESHER and NEWER if they'd included this song

[13kover]

@natso2001 hmmm... and Wedding Bells too. Oh well

[AtlantiusPSN]

@natso2001 There was definately space, they stuffed the track listing with instrumentals.. I was really unhappy about that at first, but the album's still grown on me.

[natso2001]

@AtlantiusPSN Yeah I've always enjoyed having albums that blend their songs together and I think that the instrumental sections in Mylo Xyloto do that well and add to the theme. I can understand how you'd want more 'substance' though!

[ECHOES2131]

Pero Don Quijote es 100% Español. ¬¬

[PaTRiCkEd84]

@ECHOES2131 Si lo se, yo soy mexicano y obvio se que es de España pero Chris tiene q echar choro hahaha!!

[JayAllOver]

WHY WASN'T THIS ON MYLO XYLOTO?!?!?

[mokoyeye]

I heard you never get wet in Spanish rain ;-)

[TCNHC]

This is so fucking beatiful! And to be able to come up with such a song??... you need to be out of this world. I think Coldplay are the spiritual/life/artistic healers of this "modern" society that we all live in. I adore them not just for their music but for what they stand. Coldplay forever!!!!

[TCNHC]

That's pure magic! I adore this song and I adore Coldplay like no other band in this world! Viva Coldplay!!!!

[alloyrocker]

This is absolutely B-E-A-UUUUUTIFULLLL!!! :D

[mentonerodominicano]

Beautiful and anthemic song! Too bad this is not in Mylo Xyloto. It should at least be a Bonus Track for Hispanic countries.

[chrisss1407]

OLE OLE OLE OLE, COLDPLAY, COLDPLAY ! ! ! !

[juanperezhierro]

@chrisss1407 espontaneo, eh

[ThePlatonicRomance]

I love how Chris Martin pronounces the x correctly in Quixote and not "Quick-zote" or something. I also love how they ended the song and the crowd got em to play some more chords. Coldplay is forever down to earth.

[stefyrox]

I'm writing a horribly long essay on Don Quijote right now :( maybe I should write it on the codlplay song instead lol

[emurphy66]

Lol even people in Argentina can understand English

Probably cause they found coldplay and wanna know the awesome lyrics :D

[jmenezesn]

talvez vejamos em algum EP de MX =)

[fernatoxic]

4:00 Porqueee porque porque porqueeeee porqueee!!! jaja xD

[hiroshijunko0315]

I'm Japanese.

Among the songs coldplay, I like this song enough to fit into best3.

Particularly impressed after 4:00.

[gimesh]

oleeee oleee oleee coldplaay coldplaay <3

[ethanbpeck]

one of the most underrated coldplay songs. today i realized that the melody of the singing kind of reminds me of dancing in the dark

[WTig3r]

this sounds exactly like viva la vida!

[hse970]

@WTig3r how, i like the song and all but it sounds nohting like viva la vida

[ceha238]

This song is seriously INCREDIBLE!

But then again... what else could you expect? For goodness sakes, Coldplay IS THE BEST! Looooove.

[delpinto1990]

this is cool . hope they bring out a studio version , wud be amazing

[erythraii]

Spanish Rain <3 COLDPLAY LOVES SPAIN! :D

[kelly11112]

I take that back. This song and Charlie Brown are not similar!!! God. Both songs are different. This song.. This song... LOVE THIS SONG! and Charlie Brown too. :)

[kelly11112]

Remember Wedding Bells and Christmas Lights? I think that they did the same with This song and Charlie Brown. Both are fantastic on their own. I hope they release this as a b-side! Studio or live version! Love this song!

[kelly11112]

Ah! Love this song! Ole ole ole ole COLDPLAY COLDPLAY! Ahahaha! It's stuck in my head!! This song is totally Viva era. Can't wait!!! 9 days left!!!

[BeukenMarcel]

How did you make the "Coldplay logo"?

[Shermann01]

como odie los ole ole ole de las minas, me perturban en mi cabeza mientras duermo D:

[REDFOO998]

awesom3

[jakedee010]

@HolyTrouble or its a song within a song! Make it so, Chris!!!

[uropenbook]

I freaking love this!

[darkotakudemon]

I love it...Brings me a little closer to Coldplay knowing they recognize us Latins (BTW Proud Mexican right here..)

[IvaCZ1989]

NICE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[TheBr0therz]

qwointsy tohoo lapootae.

Jk I don't know Spanish

[RoayaPixel]

AMAZING AUDIENCE!!!

[RoayaPixel]

can someone explain to me what is a b-side?

[pikeflyfisherman]

@RoayaPixel its a song which appears on a CD next too the single. It helps get song out there rather than sitting in the recording studo when the stuff is actually really good !

[rojasroman3]

= D esta super genial esta cancion........!!!!!!

[12saramore12]

JUST 20 MORE DAYS UNTIL MYLO XYLOTO (if you live in the USA of course)

[HolyTrouble]

Spanish Rain appeared on a list of songs written on a whiteboard that were being considered for the band's 5th studio album. It has appeared that this song has been scrapped from the MX era. The song was played live during the band's last leg of the Viva La Vida Tour in February and March 2010, when it was referred to as "Don Quixote".

[vivanesca]

here's my favourite.



[rvdbroek1234]

Nice!

[juniwilliams]

sounds like dancing in the dark

[brianm14elk]

@juniwilliams eerily similar

[Tazer448]

why hasn't this been released??

[zlivalavida]

they are the new u2

[chiffmonkey]

@zlivalavida fuck u2, they are the original coldplay.

[zlivalavida]

@chiffmonkey jeez relax even chris admited coldplay have recieved influence from u2

[jay7missprophet]

this song helped me answer an extra credit question, it was what was one of the books written by cervantes, i had it on my miind and i almost put down coldplay :P

[WolfLikeWe]

I wonder if this song inspired Charlie Brown, they have a similar sound to me.....

[leatspawn]

ole ole ole oleeeee coldplaaayyyy coldplaaaayyyy

[abelyss]

Good recording.

[deutschebanane]

ole ole ole ole coldplay coldplay, pensar que yo estuve ahi

[deutschebanane]

es una lastima que este tema no este en mylo xyloto

[darkhorsefan15]

THIS NEEDS TO BE ON AN ALBUM!!!

[CoN0R115]

@darkhorsefan15 It's not, and no it doesn't need to be on it. You can't throw in whatever song you want into an album. This song clearly belongs to the viva era, as you can tell by the Hispanic influence. It would stick out like a sore, horrible thumb if it were on Mylo Xyloto.

[chiffmonkey]

@CoN0R115 It even has same rhythm as VLV

[darkhorsefan15]

@CoN0R115 hey now, they are artistic musicians and can do as they darn please. i wrote it as more as a pleading wish as its obviously not on mylo xyloto:)

[Nic00903]

Olé Olé Olé Olé.. Coldplay, Coldplaay!

[ABLW100]

I know Coldplay are perfectionists, and they don't relaese anything that itsn't to it's perfection. But this song is so great just on it's own. It has to be released, even if it is just like this version of two guitars because its still freaking great!!!!!!

[HaydenLegit]

What does don quixote mean in english?

[gimkilo57]

@HaydenLegit I think its a name .. ?

[zimdom]

@HaydenLegit It's only a name. It would mean Mr. Quixote in English ;)

[ziphead0412]

@HaydenLegit It's a story. Don Quixote of La Mancha

[Hiraishin247]

@HaydenLegit it's the name of the protagonist of the spanish books "Don Quijote de la Mancha". Is pronnunced as is written. I am from Venezuela and this is one of the most important literary works of spanish literature.

This literary work was written in two books between 1605 and 1615 and is the most emblematic story of Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra.

[SketchSmith]

This is awesome! xD OLa OLAY Olay olAY !

[JosephStalin11]

I want this song on iTunes!!

[HL2EpThree]

Thumbs up if you want Don Quixote in Mylo Xyloto!

[wilfu]

Too bad this won't be included on Mylo Xyloto! Gonna be an awesome album though...

[deutschebanane]

esto fue en argentina! yo fui! alguien sabe si este tema va a estar en mylo xyloto? esta barbaro!

[elsinsemilla]

@deutschebanane Seguramente!! esperemos!!

[Kahn6294]

no don quixote on the new album?? :-(

[eweezee4]

could you imagine being up there playing music you wrote, with your closest friends and all the crowd can do is cheer and chant your name, being absolutly praised for doing wat you love.....they are truley gifted with talent and are living a dream we all would love to live, long live coldplay

[edgar5241]

You'll never be lonely ever again!

: D

[JoseRengifo1994]

I hope this is a b-side of the Mylo Xyloto era... I don't care if it's not in the album, I NEED THE STUDIO VERSION!

[soupedefromage]

@JoseRengifo1994 Who needs a studio version when you've got a crowd like that?

[CoN0R115]

@JoseRengifo1994 This song belongs to the Viva era. It's not going to be released, as part of the MX era at least. Perhaps in a future "unreleased tracks" album or EP down the line.
