Two years on and I still haven't found an "instrumental" attempt any better than this one. I have heard a few undistorted instrumental versions of VLV on a few television shows, but they are hard to come-by. I am not sure whether the editors of these shows modify the song themselves and do it properly, or if they actually have a master copy of VLV with the vocal track excluded from the compilation.
@AlteranAnciote That's because we (the public) are ALWAYS given a copy only. Like you said, someone has the master version, but we get the copies. It's not to be cheap, but it's to save space. When they put it as MP3 format, they compress all the audio into one layer that we can't adjust without messing with the whole track. It's converted to fit more stuff on the CD provided or to put it as a smaller file in places such as iTunes (website).
@Beatlesbiggestfan2 Me too! My teacher actually transposed the song by ear and our school orchestra performed this song and another nine songs with a band in our school as a rock concert. :)
I really never realized this song was so beautiful until now. I mean, I liked it and all, being the massive Coldplay fan I am, but I never appreciated it so much. I like it better in its instrumental form.
We have to play this in my school's orchastra! It sounds tight, even for the first time we played it, because everyone has heard the song before, so we can already play the song as good as it sounds!!!!
@MegaLegoguy It's not going to be perfect, especially because it was done in Audacity but still it's pretty damn good. Running a vocal track over this would drown it out anyways so it doesn't matter.
There is a real one; I heard one during the Coldplay Southbank thing on ITV. It had an instrumental back-in-track while the documentary was running. I really want to get it.
I'm curious, how do you create an instrumental version using Audacity? I've recorded with this software but am unaware of how it might be used to separate out the instrumental from the vocals. I'd love to know how to do this as there are some Coldplay other songs for which I'd like to create instrumental versions. This song is so lovely, and the instrumental version with only the background vocals is a nice alternative version but I love hearing Chris singing it too! I can hear him faintly.
LOOK UP eROC SPEECHLESS, IM COMPLETELY HOOKED ON IT..THE 1ST TIME YOU MIGHT NOT LIKE THE 2nd time YOU WILL, YOU PLAY IT THE 3RD TIME YOUR HOOKED FOR A WHILE lol... TRUST ME IF YOU HEAR IT YOU'LL BE COPYING THIS MESSAGE ALSO!!!
@beatlesrock10 shut up twat. it's almost impossible to remove sound from live sound, coldplay didn't record the vocals as a master track. so this guy has done a superb job and with a free software. be greatful.
well...it doesn´t work...i choose effects...then vocal remover...put ok...it does something , but it is with vocal after i did it..what options did you choose?
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
look; rekkin all day so its hard to see but understand my life is just tha way to be its a little misconstruant but try me and ill prove it prove that im tha best so dont get caught cause ill aim at ya chest and if i have to i'll leave a mess cause just like tha rest i bang to tha left so cs up but no gang affiliate just tha c for congradulate and theres no debate war is just tha right and legal way to retaliate;
You must have Audacity 1.3 Unicode Beta. Then, you must have the MP3 file Viva La Vida. In Audacity, go to "Effect" and find the one that says "Vocal Remover". You don't have to do anything. All you have to do is put Ok. So that's how I did it.
Worked. Thanks. Can I bother you again? When I do it I can still hear the vocals a little bit...not nearly as loud but they are loud are enough to be noticeable.
I HAVE FINNALY FOUND THIS SONG AFTER LIKE 5 YEARS! FINALLY...and its amazing :3

Maybe it's grayed out because you're probably playing the song. Stop the song. You've got to put "select all" and then put vocal remover. Try.
