UNC Clef Hangers - Viva La Vida

[Moonstar2193]

I just have a question. Why do they have the vests with all of the pins? I loved the song and how they performed it. I have heard it performed before and they were perfect.

[clefhangerfan]

@Moonstar2193 The vests are just a tradition, that goes back to their founding almost 34 years ago. The pins, buttons, etc. on the vests are given to them by fans, friends, family, and they trade/gift them amongst themselves also. For their two big concerts each year, they wear their vests for the first half and their tuxedos for the second half. That's why, in my videos, for about half of the songs they are in vests and the other half in tuxes.

So, So Damn Cool!...... I wish I was that good!

[popcornluver134]

they should go on sing-off!

[hazeldlcruz]

I actually closed Cameron's Apologize, I think it was sorta painful but I had faith in this guy and this is just amazing. I just love it and I have a crush on him!

[BraxtonsMom0224]

WOW...just wow.  What a great job!

[popcornluver134]

ACHOO! lol

[jamesdaddy]

who are you and why did god u give that voice? u guys are awesome!~

[CharlesNewson]

Is it just me or do they all look like different version of the SAME GUY?!!

[Rustyglow202224]

@CharlesNewson uniforms do that true story tho

[blushingsigh]

This song made me a huge fan of the group and heck of Rosenow.

Every time I listen to this song, I feel crying and it sounds sentimental but Cameron gives this song the sort of heart and pathos that I felt that original lacked somewhat (and I have loved Coldplay ever since I was 12).

I still get the chills from watching this.

Thank you so very much for uploading all the videos especially this :).

[RunHillRun320]

Best acapella version I have ever seen before.

[imgointoprison]

this is one of my favorite songs they have performed

[clefhangerfan]

@imgointoprison Me too..... I've never understood why Cam's songs on Twist didn't get rave reviews. Love that guy, and he did a great job with this one, Apologize, etc....

[guitarcomet5]

@imgointoprison ...mine, too.

[DanielGardner]

Beautiful. 

[cloudsynth08]

Wow, they pretty much included every instrument in the actual vrsion!

[liannalol]

cameron <3

[dennydontdie]

I never liked this song until I heard this version. I'll admit I've never listened to the whole song from beginning to end until now.

[echoskybound]

Definitely the best version on Youtube. These guys are very aware of volume and tune, the percussive sounds are great.

[LopeztheGypsy]

Finally a version that doesn't suck. Great arrangement, good blend, good fulllll sound. Well done! (and that coming from an NC State wolf lol!)

[Phonxer]

wow its would be great if they make Lost

[koolcuttyanoop152]

this greaaaaaaaaatt!!!!!!!!! I <3 DA CLEF HANGERSS

[thundercat8]

Best version I've heard on Youtube. Lovely!

[highskillat]

These guys are pro

[TylerRosenow]

He shares my last name so he must be great. I wonder if we're related?

[666joiner]

pure skill. as always. spot on

[emmalm2007]

GO UNC TARHEELS!!! :-)

[NightShadeslayer]

2:53 the person doing the oh oh OH oh oh oh, is NOT the lead singer did anyone notice? Whoever it was has great control of his voice.

[clefhangerfan]

That is David Hall, same guy who does the high stuff on "Africa" currently.  Yep - David is great....

[rowleypw]

Chris Martin doesn't sing it either! Cause it obviously continues while he is singing during the actual song. His drummer Will sings it.

[wadyano]

on the recording that is not a problem. they dubb over. live it has to be someone else

[inoro1]

@NightShadeslayer

In the wide view, it's the fourth guy from the left.

[britgo019]

So stoked about this being on the new CD! :D:D

[showmeurluv]

never mind i got it..its probably david hall yea?

[britgo019]

Correct!

[showmeurluv]

who sings the high notes of Oo0o0o0o0hhhh from 2:53?

[KraziAzian]

yeah he is really good

[xxxinuxkagx4ever]

This is definately better than Matt Girard singing this...

That was horrible...he sounded like a goat.

[jesuswarrior001]

awesomeness!!

[apathyDEFINED]

love cameron. hey, clefahangerfan, are there more videos with cameron as the soloist? :)

[kkcald]

he's the soloist on apologize and one of the soloists on dangerous/whatever you like along with his 2009 senior solo highand dry.

[LQLouieLA]

NOOOO Anoop already graduated...

So did he have like every solo when he was there or something?

[wadyano]

he had some, not more than others

[afgmatt786]

wheres anoop???

[wadyano]

he graduated

[mardoggie2013]

Nice job! It's hard for someone to do Coldplay, but this was a complete success!!!! GREAT!!!!!

[britgo019]

That's it. Cameron's not allowed to graduate this year. Not letting him!

[UNCkidd09]

ha, me neither.

we gotta stop him !

lol.

[britgo019]

You might have to fly solo.. I'm a little far. ha.

While you're at it, make sure Charles, Ryan, Steve, and Will don't graduate either ahah.

They're all too good to lose them :(

[UNCkidd09]

i know.

well, im right down the street so ill try my best!

LOL.

gosh, im gonna miss them :(

their such awesome singers.

[britgo019]

Ohh.... Ryan's staying another year :D

so, that makes only 4 that you have to stop haha.. now GO! :P

[UNCkidd09]

wait, Ryan's the short dark haired one that raps sometimes right?

[britgo019]

yes mam. raps alot in put on/got money and in dangerous.

[clefhangerfan]

Also in Kiss-Kiss (Ryan).

[UNCkidd09]

ok, but on this program thingy i have of the clefhangers, it says that hes a senior.

BUT

we still have :

Andrew and Hogan !

:D

[britgo019]

Yeah I know.. the site says he's a senior.. FB says UNC '10, so ?? lol but he was voted as President for next year so he'll def still be around. So I look forward to more Ryan/Andrew raps haha.

[UNCkidd09]

oh.

yeah, but i am gonna miss Cameron, Charles, and Steve :(

[belliebelle]

Yeah, Ryan will be around next year. He's staying on as a fifth-year senior. So, basically, he gets TWO senior years!

But Steve, Cam, Will, and Charles are graduating in two weeks.

[UNCkidd09]

I LOVE CAMERON :D

ha, im also syddd09iloveunc.

that was my old account!

[dmbcrush27]

awwhhhhh i love them with and without ANOOP!!!!awesome group.... is it true they have a version of grey street? if youu have it could you please please please post it? thankksssss

[trikurnia2008]

Is it the new line-up of Clef Hangers, with no Anoop?

[clefhangerfan]

Yes - he graduated last May and left the group then after 4 years. The Clefs miss him, but they still have a stellar lineup of soloists - keep watching for their newest songs from their Spring Concert at the end of April.

[trikurnia2008]

Sure I will :) I wish there'll be some Beatles songs. Like Here There & Everywhere (an acapella version by Italian group Neri per Caso), In My Life or Here Comes the Sun (with handclapping). Thanks 4 posting the clips.

[clefhangerfan]

I've got them singing the Beatles "Because" from this same concert, just haven't put it up. Interested?

[k2411871]

you guys gotta audition for Americas Got Talent!

[rchung90]

Very!

[mtsoccer56]

I'd love to see Because.

Thanks for everything.

[k2411871]

[Motina25]

they should audition For American Idol next year

[xiadaxo]

you gotta love.....

[fooolosophy]

greeaat!

[thisiskaye]

This is great, guys! The Clefs rock. It really sounds good.

[moonandstar68]

You guys never cease to amaze me with your beautiful voices! And Cameron, I always love hearing your solos, fantastic job!

[clefhangerfan]

Thanks for the nice comments! Hey, that's a really nice profile pic you have!

[moonandstar68]

Haha thank you! I have to say the person that took it has some pretty good picture taking skills :)

[Jamie101289]

you met Anoop?!?! You are so lucky! haha.

[moonandstar68]

Yes, I did get to meet him at the Clef's Winter Jam this past weekend!

[Jamie101289]

Ahh! I envy you! You got to meet Anoop and see the Clef's. haha.

[moonandstar68]

Yeah, it was a blast! It was my first Clef concert, and the fact that I got to meet Anoop was just the icing on the cake!

[Jamie101289]

I would probably pass out if I met him. lol.

[moonandstar68]

Oh believe me I thought I would too! I honestly don't know how I actually managed to say anything when I met him I was that nervous :)

[Jamie101289]

I am in love with this video.

[csf4life247]

Hm... too bad Anoop was busy preparing for Hollywood to be there

[emilyindahhouse]

wish Anoop was there but you guys still sound AWESOME!

[punknsmasher]

good to see the clef hangers are still awesome even without anoop!

Great job guys, keep it up!

[franchytopher]

phwoar... i had my doubts about the soloist until he started hitting the high notes at 1 minute. nice.

[shimapari]

Best Version so far, love it, love it, love it, Cameron Rosenow ur d Bomb...u sounded just like Chris Martin...and uhmm...ur Gorgeous handsome...

[Shalev007]

Great job. I thought this couldn't be pulled off acapella. I stand corrected.

[ays1991]

Personally, I think David Hall should be considered a soloist in this song if he has to hit those high notes constantly.

But that's just me.

[KingNike316]

best i've heard viva la vida done.

[sarahlouisemcm]

I'd really love to see these guys perform live.

Another thing added to my wishlist!

[josgvis]

Outstanding!

[Syddd09iloveunc]

This is one of the best ones because:

CAMERON is singing it :]

lol<333.

[latinapeacechick]

of course : )

[xbeinspiration]

Amazing! David Hall, Cameron, all of them!

[aznbear84]

awesome job. LOVE watching clefhangers videos! check out my group at texas a&m. we're brand new and just trying to get out there!

[murrrX04]

god there really good, i want to hear the perform live!

[longvieweccentric]

they come to my school every year it's so much fun to hear them live :D

[Lindseyareed]

Whos the really low voice?? wow!!

[clefhangerfan]

The low bass voice you hear is Jay Rankin, all the way to the left with the handheld microphone.

[nickbrown2k2]

Wow, this is really awesome!!! :)

[italyguitarchick]

He sounds kinda like the real guy from cold play, almost

this is really good

[elatarielrp]

I really don't like this song, but this isn't so bad! At 2:50, who is the one doing those backup vocals? The "ohs" to be precise.

[belliebelle]

I could be wrong, but I want to say it's David Hall.

[clefhangerfan]

Yup - that's David Hall. Check out his upper range on "Africa" on my channel too.

[elatarielrp]

I thought so. Those boy's vocal cords can go unnaturally high.

[ravenAC95]

this is a great arrangement! I love it. Great job guys!

[SE4GY7]

Dude that guy in the front is as good as the coldplay singer!!!!

[Vapor20]

best version ive heard of this, good job

[eskullz666]

great job and the guy singin diz reminds me of the lead singer in coldplay

[mirmira83]

good job !

[CollegePlaya]

Nice Song :)

But More,i like the other soloist ..
