Coldplay - Politik

[MrBojanmarsetic]

The best video Ive ever seen of amateur video composers!

[MegaManunited10]

the images just sum it all up about humanity!! although this song makes want to just start running in any sort of direction!!

[boobar2000]

@melocha09 i also think that bit is the best bit of the track. When i listen to it, it makes me feel emotional. I don't know why. But truly amazing.

[MrLeedsutdfc]

shame on you 2 the 10 that disliked.! :(

[Ramonajunie3]

All right. that's it. I'm gonna cry. :-)

[melocha09]

Favorite part, 2:51- 5:18. Astonishingly beautiful.

[XanderRich]

Coldplay will never be just a band. They are an icon, and in the most brilliantly unplanned way. They transcend the definition of a band, and they always will.

[bonkers04mc]

great video, i love it and song

[carlyleighton]

KevinSBG and subfortoby I couldn't agree less. They've continued to live up to every expectation set, even exceeding most. Coldplay isn't a band. Coldplay isn't a group. Coldplay is music with a message. Regardless of which message they send, it always means something important in society.

[MrBeesness]

Sadly, war is inevitable. The only thing we can do is try to hold it off for as long as we can....

[strollingjjyahoo]

the vid makes this

[KevinSBG]

one of coldplays best songs.. is it only me or were coldplay better before 06- and

before the became mega superstars??

[subfortoby]

@KevinSBG i agree 100% bro

[theater4nothing]

Good or evil, which one is us?

[bellajacklil]

With the anniversary of 9/11 being tomorrow. I stumbled upon this video. IT's a beautiful song about the follies of the world and the video not only makes me think of 9/11 and the horrible events of that day, but of all the death and destruction that has happened in the world. So many innocent deaths, torture, prejudice. It's heartbreaking and this world just needs some peace. Remember- Evil Begets Evil..

[imnotgivingmynametou]

That and Kennedy came the closest to being the worst person in all of History. Just lucky that Khrushchev had more sense then him.

Oh, and Abraham Lincoln was responsible for the deaths of 625,000+ people. You sort of missed these things out.

[imnotgivingmynametou]

And Gandhi and Churchill were vulgar bastards.

[imnotgivingmynametou]

Lenin shouldn't have been featured.

[cheese767]

i like the last picture choice

[pikeflyfisherman]

3:09 The railway too hell.

[kimmyness1]

Righteous. Got peace? Not yet, but we're working on it. Tough task, what with all the non believer of life energy. Me: @ It Starts With One Peace, Inc. on facebook pages. I asked this recently: When was the LAST war? Never. war begets war. Anyway, sorry to go off when you made such a great vid. Thank you, off to share it!!! Prior song I put up was Nina Simone, shows how interconnected music is. One of many beautiful gifts.

[micneus1997]

4:00-5:17 <3 :)))))))

[alfre2419]

CARAI QE VIDEO EN VDD AMO COLD PLAY

[TheEljay]

This video is inspirational and goes with the song perfectly.

[QuietClore]

Brilliant. 

[locasilfeliz]

esto es el lado triste y crudo de la realidad terrenal....es innegable, debemos dar amor , debiera ser fácil hacerlo, debiéramos ser menos mezquinos y sólo hacerlo....debiera ser fácil

[WhiteLilies93]

At 4:04 i feel like a new life begins..it's too too powerful! x]

[jaydub8025]

@WhiteLilies93 I know exactly what you mean. It's like everything went for war and destruction to peace and hope.

[Tonybrasco1000]

COLDPLAY RULES!!!!!!!!!!

[misslilypie101]

More people need to hear this song- it is utterly amazing and makes you think what kind of world we live in now.

[pikeflyfisherman]

That is going to be my one and only tatoo "Give Me Love Over This" right across my back ! Coldplays best song, and one of the most powerful songs ever written, hands down.

[MrRascasseman]

I think it should be compulsory of every visitor on youtube to view this video in it's entirety. Powerful stuff.

[trje246]

the pale blue dot

[alexisgalaxi]

hitler its the milk

[N30M4N14]

When I'm about to die, I want this song to be played.

[mindurown1]

luv da message of this song xx

[HorvathsGirl]

GREAT video, thanks so much for sharing! We could all use a little reminding of how lucky we really are!

[jkmoonblade]

Beautiful video. :)

[fabbe97]

Soo beautiful

[MsBirdLikeTrees]

Thats AWESOM!!!!!! I Love it!!!!

[Robbmaggedon]

Unbelievable.

[Ramonajunie3]

@royalsteven

~Brothers and sisters unite, it's the time of your lives, it's the time of your lives, break down break down, gotta spread love around, gotta spread it around~

[TubesOfRed]

What is the pic at 1:35 of the pope?

[Wednesday1739]

@TubesOfRed that is Pope John Paul II. it was when he got shot by Mehmet Ali Agca in 1981

[royalsteven]

3.22 This is such a beautiful part of the song. Also meaningfull song in these times. Open your eyes people. Wake up to what really is going on and stop being controlled and brainwashed by the evil powers! God bless you all brothers and sisters we are facing tough times.

[bunnyruber]

@royalsteven YOUR MESSAGE IS VERY IMPORTANT. INSTEAD OF FOCUSING WHAT IS OVERRATED LET'S LOOK AT THE MESSAGE. "OPEN UP YOUR EYES", IT'S TIME FOR A CHANGE, SPEW LOVE NOT HATE AND I PROMISE IT WILL JUST CIRCULATE....

[royalsteven]

True, spread the message of love, acceptance and peace!

[jdawg1692]

1:28 BUFFALO BILL!!!

[deproffessor]

their best song..................love over love over aaaaaaghhhhh

[ropracogioaqui]

what is bloody suday?

[Maria29493]

@ropracogioaqui It was when British troops open fired on people during a peaceful protest in N. Ireland back in the 70's.

[dainlord]

coldplay and muse, so different and yet so alike, both are the greatest musicans the world will ever see

[reefergoat]

@dainlord

I think Radiohead are better than either of these bands. But Coldplay are better than they get credit for sometimes.

[MrRascasseman]

@reefergoat not heard a song as powerful as this by Radiohead.

[reefergoat]

@MrRascasseman

"How to Disappear Completely" takes the cake for me.

[MrRascasseman]

@reefergoat overrated I think.

[SeemsLikeAnAngel]

amazing song. really great video!

[yangun100]

that is a powerful video

but it has a lot of realy heavy images...

im just saying that cuz some little kids like coldplay & they may be terified from this video...

[aajmkkcsm5]

I never watch the videos or comment but this time I did, thank-you franktulpin that was brilliant...

[jamiebethmisery]

solo k no me gusto el final con esas dos torres como fina de pelicula estadounidense

[SethBalmore7]

Watching this video does make you open your eyes...

[Carlo11111974]

Great Video to one of my favorite Coldplay songs !

[themec]

Why the wrong spelling? Politics are crucial to our progress. Why then, does this person with a world audience say nothing about the everyday struggles of the vast majority of the worlds population against wage slavery and the power of elites..He had a chance! Probably wrote this in New York whilst his insufferable wife was out shopping for the latest macrobiotic yoghurt before coming home and inviting him to a party full of Wall St bankers. The struggle is ALIVE and outlives this mawkish dross.

[773SleepyHollow]

@themec Hey Debbie Downer let me know when the next Fourth International meeting is... Christ, could you be more of a bore?

[SlappyJones777]

@themec dude hes from your country not new your......why don't you find out what your actually commenting about WHILST I listen to this great music

[japdiaz21]

JUST OPEN YOUR EYES!!!!

AND GIME LOVE OVER!!!

I LOVE THIS SONG!!!!!

[subesujan21]

good like

[xaayer]

notice how all the famous peace-wanting figures are dead? What does that tell you about humans? As much as we want and proclaim we want peace, we don't do any thing about it. The ones who want war for profit (and yes war is very profitable) are the ones in control.

[cornking6]

Good song and emotional video. I loled at the picture at 1:29 though.

[elisuwe]

@cornking6

would you laugh if you got napalmed?

[Nattherat64]

2:55 hell yer !!!!!!!

[Marusya1995]

thanks alot, really inspiring, i'm choreographing the dance for this song, and thats exactly what i was looking for 100%

[12pokerking]

@bkulhavy you are a sick, sick person...

[Kababb95]

i love it when the key changes towards the end, so amazing <3

[nikhiljha95]

from [2:55]...wow

[ackmansaur]

Martin Luther King was a King? Was he related to King Kong?

[youngatnaruto]

@ackmansaur racist

[coldplay780]

wuaaoo..!! de cancion me enamore increible..!!! wuao

[trje246]

and... i cry...

[TheSweetrevengermcr]

this is one of some songs of coldplay I love this one

[cameldor]

this song is one of coldplays most underrated songs - it's bordering genius on a lot of levels

[unknownmember1221]

I wish more people could listen to Coldplay, because they DO open up YOUR EYES. Their Music can reach someone with so much emotion it can bring tears to their eyes. Coldplay can change lives or the way a person thinks. Coldplay is one of the greatest bands that exists today if not THE best.

[doog2281]

Whoever has not seen coldplay live should go see them, they are AMAZING LIVE!!!!! best band ever!!!

[lokochon17]

me encanta esa cancion

[773SleepyHollow]

Great song obviously, but I just don't understand why this specific video doesn't have 66 MILLION views. (Then again I was a history major.)

[APATCH1]

masterpiece !

[ravrik]

Is anyone able to name the people or events of each image? It would be fascinating to know (obviously there are some very famous ones there too).

[Gingrnut]

epic song, my oldest memory of this song is when I was about 7 and my family lived in france, i always accosiate this song with driving along deserted french lanes in rural france (Im 13)

[kirenuk]

if you ever think you have it bad just watch this video...powerful...

[TheViolaPower1]

I first heard this song in "Cold Case" a few weeks ago, i can't stop listening to it now, bravo

[honeyrocks81]

-applauses-

[NoOdLeS0820]

pink floyd wannabes!

[carola861231]

pink floyd es una BASURA

Y usted es un PETARDO!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Marusya1995]

@carola861231 My two favourite bands are Pink Floyd and Coldplay! i find pink floyd's music best of all

[joesenter]

thank you

[ravrik]

I've always loved this song and it's made even more poignant with the images - what talent to be able to write a song that can make a grown cynical man cry!

[strawberryeliz]

Great video! Really sad and inspiring

[michieltje1987]

the ultimates of humanity in five minutes

[dianeiles]

This had tears pouring down my face !!!

Images that are soul reaching !!!

Love video and song !

Amazing crescendo at 4.05 !!!!

[atodogas2]

The end is awesome, the piano, the drum beat, lovely.

[semme01]

too much repetition of the same pics. i thought sweet part had some nice images. :(((

[peacenikkle]

the irony.6 million jews were killed ,and now some 65 years later the victims of that holocaust have it in their power to do the same to others.

[walter3208]

[19viz94]

At First it shows positive things and then violence and so.......

[XxGabby333Xx]

This song is so Beautiful!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[mgutierrez7500]

the piano has a small similarity to muse's apocalyse please and some megalomania also by muse

[pineapplehead2]

Amazing song

[wagnerlove86]

4.00 till the end is so wonderful music

[TheBlackMessiah]

doubtful but does it have anything to do with realpolitik?

[PunkRapRockBoy]

easily one of their best songs

[yourzzzz]

Give me peace of mind and trust

And don't forget the rest of us.

[kortegan]

wow..!

[Scr4ck]

love this song. can anyone tell me what politik means please ? looked for it and it doesnt exist :O

[PandaBananas]

like politic, but politik

[roxysurf123]

i love this song

[listnstomusic]

Whats wrong with the World....

[hlsterbabe12]

whats wrong with you?

[listnstomusic]

im not so good at sports, thats whats wrong with me, whats wrong with you?

[hlsterbabe12]

i asked you that becuase you were like

"whats wrong with the world"

and how is you being bad at sports wrong

[listnstomusic]

I'm confused ... what do you mean when you say whats wrong with me? are you saying im a dumbass for asking whats wrong with the world? or are you asking something else....

[hlsterbabe12]

no... i just said that becuase you said that

[beebudly]

Coldplay has some of the best songs of our time.

[Irishpuma94]

@beebudly yet its underated by todays "music" well one thing that is true is Coldplay will NEVER die as long as we keep the songs to heart.

[frida24]

Wonderful wonderful work!! So well done!!! xxx

[iluvpi314]

what is this song about?

[Burni2X]

That is what the song is all about.

You need to find your own interpretation..

One would be that politics need another way of thinking, a new kind of regulation.

But in my opinion, it is a love song.

So.. tell my your politics ;)

[radopeon]

this song grabs ur soul..

[Ballamone]

Was WW2 still happening in 1994? Jesus, thats messed up. Your thinking of the Christmas truce by the way. You were wrong on the year, you were wrong on what happened aswel.

The Fighting didnt start Stephens day, in some parts of the trenchs the truce carried on for weeks

I think a football match happened, not sure of the score but think the Germans won 2-1. Check it up before u post a comment like that mate.

[Ballamone]

Spelling mistake by the way! "The Fighting didnt *STOP* Stephens day, in some parts of the trenchs the truce carried on for weeks" Gracias

[jakeatollah]

december 24th, 1994: in germany, killing germans, germans killing us, germans killing innocent people that have done nothing wrong.

december 25th, 1994: a trench across from one of ours comes marching towards us at night, with trees and candles on them singing silent night in german. we all partied. we all drank. we all went back to killing each other the next day.

why?

[jakeatollah]

i meant 1945. woops.

[plannedXaccident]

because... that's how war works.....

[jakeatollah]

because... you don't stop fightin' for a day to go have a party with the people ya gonna kill tomorrow. because..., that's like throwin a party with a guy who is just about to murder you.

[manutdfan079]

Going to see them June 2nd in Detroit :)

[michieltje1987]

Well made video, great song

[blondiebear003]

such a wonderful song and band, coldplay deserves recognition for thier works in the music industry..

[SharukhFMAlolrandom]

wow one of the only videos that had me close to tearing. Excellent job.

[12kate31]

I love this song since 4:05 to the end...then is so beautiful...

[Trendyk11]

Rayoss..he llorado sin kerer al ver este video..para variar la cancion me despedazo a partir del 3:20 en adelante..Bien Coldplay! sin duda una gran banda!!..ah y un exito al pata q hizo este vid...

[nobombno]

i like this song, and i think tat coldplay is a good band, and i know that my opinion wont affect you or change yours, but im just putting that out there.

[jokelip]

Hes so cute!!! But this Song!!!! So really this World.....

[nobombno]

doggy!!! i think hes so cute!

[froggycyrus]

The tiger part almost made me cry....

[ChewiesBuddy]

great video and my favorite song from coldplay.

thanks!

[jakefromcotu]

this video is so sad but we live in a horrible place.

[jokelip]

TwinTowers, how could I Cry more!!!!

[hiobenny]

favourite coldplay song. Puts things in perspective. Good on coldplay for avoiding today's bands tendancies to fade away after a few hits. Todays only true supergroup (that was'nt in the 70's as well)

[imwiththevampires111]

beautiful video. good job with the pix. fit the song so wonderfully. Great Job!

[twilightlove25]

This song ALWAYS makes me cry 3 minutes through.

Well give me looove over, looove over looove over thiiis AHHHHH.

Fucking beautiful song man.

[rintachos]

THis song's magical

[Levente20]

actually, no other songs from coldplay can compare to this, this ihas something special.

[Rustyforexman]

Man is basically good.

If we focused on honesty and love, and brought attention to these values we have in every single one of us more - than the goodness in man will always be recognised and will always continue.

Focus on our mistakes and our past wrongs, only leads to more of this in future.

[tommiss007]

America fo this is abble to herself

[SharukhFMAlolrandom]

vids wonderful.. thank u soo much. That was fcking amazing. i dont know what else to say

coldplay is awesome.

[KHgoalkeeper21]

3:38

cute loll

[rauchgal]

open up ur eyes

[kmdlfc]

what a tune.keep them coming Coldplay

[amafuji]

"Lest we Forget" and "Never Again" does not apply to us goy cattle.

[somegirlkate]

If we really mean "Lest we forget" then how can we go on ignoring what's happening in the Congo, Africa's "First World War"?

How can we say "Never Again" and have let Rwanda happen, and so many other similar cases around the world?

OPEN UP YOUR EYES. Update your video - its good but it needs to be more relevant.

[somegirlkate]

There are currently over 14 conflicts and wars happening, right now, and what do we do? We harp on and on about the "world wars" - this way we can focus our energies on something that feels like its safely in the past, ignore the problems we should be facing today, and justify our current actions and inactions.

[jakeatollah]

i think coldplay was waiting for someone to make this video. it is sad what the Nazis and japenese have done to us and their own country. we too have done bad things to people that didn't deserve. we had to be cautious. still, everything about that video and ww2 were heart wrenchingly sad and would haunt anyone who had to actually see those living bags of bones go through that. seeing kids with just bones, and men tied to skulls. i can't believe this happened. and it never will again. hopefully.

[jakeatollah]

i know, long and boring, but read the thing below this ppl

[infiniteaeon]

light in the absence of eyes illuminates nothing
