Coldplay - Viva La Vida alternative video version (Made in The Hague/Netherlands)

[AngieEnz84]

Now here's a king I'd be willing to pledge my loyalty to! Heck, if he's in need of a queen...

Hehe, you just know that the band wanted to start cracking up at the end of that video: "Chris, buddy, we love ya, but you look ridiculous..."

[DaRealJeremyManning]

hey guys. this is the band that inspires me to write music. if you would, check them out on my page :) please and thank you

[VvAnarchangelvV]

In other words, Mr Song Singer, you are a Has-Been?

[elocrellim]

@VvAnarchangelvV LMAOOO

[fuckyeahbonjovi]

beautiful

[roberto121395]

DEPECHE MODE FTW

[SiletteDK70]

I like how this version is actually true to the meaning of the song rather than just a bunch of randomness

[JoNnYShizzle]

This song is *the* shit.

[mitternacht07]

This official video is my favorite So long Coldplay...

[MyLadyGreensleeves77]

I like this video more than the one they used... it has more in the way of symbolism and meaning, I think - and an actual narrative. The other one was pretty, but this gave me goosebumps.

[EmilyLovesLondon]

3:58 *Chris turns around* WTHeck? Didn't I tell u guys to stay in the car?

[sk8life4evar]

always loved that Delcroix portrait

[maverickmeerkat42]

This song is a classic.

[JoNnYShizzle]

This song is shit

[KungFuJesus99]

@JoNnYShizzle im pretty sure u meant, "this song is the shit"

[JoNnYShizzle]

@KungFuJesus99 Oops

[aaa5u]

33 idiot havnt ruled the world

[GishabrunLOB]

This vids cool, but what the hell was the end all about? Looks like some MI6 guys followed him or something.

[iluvadamsandler]

way better than original, this is exactly how i would invision the video was suppost to be!

[Sykoze]

@iluvadamsandler The funny thing is, this video is a massive nod to Depeche Mode's "Enjoy the Silence" video. To the point where I'd say they were inspired by it.

[BobbielaDay]

i hadn't seem either video! thanks for bringing it

[dragononigiri]

i like this video better than the original

[maverickmeerkat42]

Great song, great video.

[harryt1110]

love it

[harryt1110]

cooooooooooooolllllllllll

[maverickmeerkat42]

When I listen to this song, I either feel like king of the world or I start crying.

[MsRedfiregirl]

I love coldplay so much!!! I am using this song for a project

[maverickmeerkat42]

A million times better than the "official" music video.

[IronGuitarist]

Ah yes, a nod to Depeche Modes Enjoy the Silence music video.

[wingsofluna]

This song makes me rule the dance floor,for years I have looooved this song for years,its depressing but fun.

[rubendjp]

After I listened to the Viva La Vida album, that painting became my favorite painting....Liberty Leading The People...

[AtheistHater]

I thought they were the missionaries on the foreign field

[rubendjp]

Only ~ 250,000 views....what happend to the people who really knows about music????

[roberto121395]

DEPECHE MODE FTW

[rednose870]

THIS IS SO FUCKING AWSOME. CLICKING LIKE =)

[squreshi10]

Good song, but he looks like the BK mascot.

[BleedingCosmos]

@squreshi10

LOL I always thought of that too.

[AlchemyAngel2007]

That was so cute! I'm in health class so I can't scream!

[Jay57575]

Adorable.

[fatfisherf]

When I saw the crown I was like Oh..This makes alot more sense.

And at the end I thought his band was the Mafia...

[tikotron]

La Majestad del Rock Aternativo!!!

[DeusEx89]

@wildmanftl your joking.....right? coldplay released this song back in 2008 while the abrams brothers released their song in 2009, so who copied who now? that's right.....

[EmilyMcHale13]

I want to laugh, but then I'd feel guilty for wanting to laugh.

[mxwp]

The wee ones don't even know who Depeche Mode is. *sigh*

[hillsidehooligans1]

@mxwp im 14 and depehe mode rocks!

[wildmanftl]

Totally UNORIGINAL!!! Took the Abrams Brother's song and paired it with Depeshe Mode's video... Not impressed...

[computerdl]

@wildmanftl and it's called a TRIBUTE to the depeche mode video. plus, it was directed by the same guy.

[OutlawedGaming]

the king should be the burger kingin this one and ronald mcdonald trying to kill him..

[musicxandxdancing]

omg this so funny,so cute,so kool haha i love it!i dnt know whitch i like bttr this or the official. u can feel sad 4 him, like hes a kid... a lost king aaw its beautiful

[xKeepTheFaithx]

THIS should've been the original videoo -_-

[ingrata74]

As said by Chris Martin..."This is our attempt at a video cover version, made out of love for Depeche Mode and the genius of Anton Corbijn..." great video and both videos are just brilliant! Depeche Mode has had such great influence on so many other great artists they are freakin awesome...and Coldplay rocks!

[MadmanMancusi]

I want the King costume!! I can make fun of Burger King AND walk around like a King at the same fricken time!! How is that not awesome?!?!

[ladytv23]

This song is so AWESOME that even Lady GaGa sang to it!!!

[monkey3239]

song is amazing

[15minoflame]

burger king burger king!

[tyme4mike]

Here's one 49 year old who says if there's anybody worth listening to in the last decade, it's Coldplay. Their profoundly powerful lyrics and haunting musical scores help me keep what little faith I have left in the music industry from the last 10-15 years.

[CoolRisa]

Best.......song........EVER!!!­!

[agenthelios]

Depeche Mode "enjoy the silence" was obviously ripped off in the video. Colplay rocks but I think DM deserves some respect.

[psychment]

Looks like they had so much fun putting this video together. :P

[UAstudios]

Haha kind of wacko video, Looks like he's on a quest to find the right spot to hang that picture, then at 3:40 his loyal hobo's arrive to take shelter in his cardboard house.

[jaberpuddle]

I like this version better than the other one. This one tells the story of the song much better in my opoion. Bravo!

[rockstopsthetraffic]

First, they took Eno, then they took Anton.

I dunno what that has to do with U2, except maybe, uh, everything...

[michaelputt]

way better

[LeonxSxKennedy1]

This video matches the song a lot more

[rayhanmiss94]

i love this song =]

[turpinators]

I used to rule the world Seas would rise when I gave the word Now in the morning I sleep alone Sweep the streets I used to own I used to roll the dice Feel the fear in my enemy's eyes Listen as the crowd would sing: "Now the old king is dead! Long live the king!" One minute I held the key Next the walls were closed on me And I discovered that my castles stand Upon pillars of salt, pillars of sand

[unknownxromance]

In a way, it's homage to Depeche Mode's Enjoy the Silence.

[emmafabert]

I love this song!!! This vid is a bit strange though...

[itachimaster321]

LMAO THIS WAS WAY EPIC XD

[computerdl]

how come THIS video doesn't have 57 million views? it's 57 million times better!

[bobcat2111]

I Like this Video Better

[kevinj69]

i loved this video and love coldplay

[thor294]

I love how people say DM sucks, and DM influences almost every artist :)

[TheAutumBlog]

I like the other video better.

[crzykayzee]

god, chris looks absolutely adorable with the cape and the crown in this version =) i love it!

and by the way... the painting he's carrying around isn't viva la vida... it's eugene delacroix's La Liberté guidant le peuple (liberty leading the people)...

fantastic song though =)

[yoshihdz]

Awesome video!!

[luvmyeg6]

Love Depeche and really like this song!

[SheCalledMeJellyBean]

The old King is dead long live the king :)

[Luiz8745]

The song is about a king and his empire was destroyed and hes in the future like WTF O_O

[bluestaryellow]

it's a million times better !!!!!!!!!!!

[CuriousPersianCat]

Why is he carrying that Revolutionary picture around ?

[eternity4everusa]

Viva La Vida

[Top15Weekly]

@CuriousPersianCat its one of the most famous painting ever it's Viva la Vida... gosh i don't even know anything about art and I know that...

[kendjo]

god this is a million times better

[ColdBegant]

Самое лучшее видео- КРААЙНЕ жаль то так и не сняли нормального клипа на Clock's :'(

[hippyminnie]

i love his blue eyes, feels like i can see the sea in them.. <3

[agenthelios]

I like Coldplay and I like the song , but the video is too much like Depeche Mode "Enjoy the Silence" video.

[iJUSThateCHOCOLATE]

wow

that's so funny

[MarzelM10]

♥♥♥

[omgitsclassical]

ITS LOUIS XIV happy happy

[anikid0392]

It looks like the king in Enjoy the Silence!

[Dedichka]

Same director!! :)

[agenthelios]

I thought the same and commented, and after saw your comment. It instantly reminded me of that, but instead of carrying a chair he is carrying a painting.

[grundu]

I don't get it, what's with the little buildings, and the end, why are they there and the picture disappears, so confusing

[onequarterasian]

haha

[Stephy589]

love this version...better then the original one...chris' face is amazing...great band!!!

[TheYuLeeAn]

Its much better tha the original... It tells a storry and is funny...

[MalumVir]

[TheGwen35]

Den Haag :)

[1986justme1986]

Nice to recognize everything in your own city :)

[jmeind]

is this meant to be some kind of joke?

it made me chuckle...

haha

i love the ending though :D

[AuthorDPolitik]

I love Coldplay! and I love Depeche Mode! As a huge fan of both these bands, its a real treat to see coldplay put Depeche Mode's "Enjoy the silence" video refrances in their work. You kick ass Coldplay :D

[GelatinousGeorge]

I like this version over the original one... Either way though the song rocks!!!

[doriiXcoldp]

yes, he's a king :)

[FederM0N0]

I preferer the original video but why is not this chosen?

[MsGoldenDawn]

Burger King

[iSethhhh]

best band in the world <3 the video

[TerryH1984]

Better than their previous version i think.. The instruments are more matching to the song and well focused

[illlovepierre]

was für ein klasse video...5*

[TheGwen35]

Hahaha cool :)

[francesann06]

This video is sooooooooo CUTE. Chris Martin is like a little kid lost from his mom.... <3

[musicxandxdancing]

@francesann06 weird i hadnt read ur comment & it ended up with almost the same meaning:)

[XAcxurAteShotxX]

@francesann06 Soooo agreed

[thor294]

I love Depeche Mode. Coldplay has good taste :)

[Christknight1990]

I think i like this version better then the original video they made

[litlemisunchin]

Amazing I love you coldplay

[RRbattlefield]

cool videow and  nice bet

[nsuzanah]

People were speculating about the real meaning behind this song... but to me...its pretty simple.

Its a happy song. so Viva la Vida is indeed "Live the Life!!". Live It!! And Rule...this life!!

[santy300]

It's actually about a king that lost his kingdom.... Chris Martin himself said that several times.......... even simpler........

[Blaaspijp1920]

Nice vid, but his costume is cheap

[NinjaMegskii]

@Blaaspijp1920 thats the whole point, its meant to look cheap :)

[jemappellefashion]

ahhhh he's so gorgeous!!!!!!

[AngieMohammed]

[im8teennow]

[daffiejjjj]

You are very lucky, and its indeed a special moment~

[BleedingCosmos]

This video is so much better than the other one. It just seems to have more emotion in it. =)

[MrGorillazhtf]

I think that this video suits more with the song than the other one. I like it.

[andrez221671]

Que Buen video

Coldplay es lo mejor

[WitteTroost]

Well, I can tell you that is Chris, Will, Jonny and Guy (even the clothes are right^^) and that it is indeed on their website.. And it's brilliant =D

[backgroundbob]

@kinghalo

You do realise that these aren't lookalikes, right - it is actually the band. It's a tribute to the music video for "Enjoy the Silence" by Depeche Mode which was directed by the same person as did this one, Anton Corbijn. The two music videos were released simultaneously.

[acecarlo11]

oh man, you should have your eyes checked. these are not friggin look alikes! i'd forgive your comment any other day but today, i say you're damn dense

[cody1099]

its the real band not "look a likes"

[3ColdplayFan]

hahahahah so funny!!!!

[manmuse126]

Nice!

[Noemiland]

me encanto!!
