  • goosebumps all over. amazing... :')

  • This is love.

  • I think it would if been better if there was actual music instead of herself alone on the piano.... Just an opinion

  • I love Sara sooooo much, but I love Coldplay even more and this.. This isn't Yellow. I'm sorry.

  • I love SARA!!!! I love all her music and covers, even though I prefer the original she truly made this something beautiful in a completely different light.

  • for you I'll bleed myself dry

  • 3:37. that is all.

  • @MelaniePennington17 i understand what you mean it feels really different but everyone's got their own opinion right?

  • @ToriLiz521 no way im going to get some pizza right now

  • @dginthehouse100 respond meanie

    

  • @MelaniePennington17 you know what ur a fucking whore

  • I love Sara Bareilles. But this is the worst version of this song I've ever heard. It sucks. I can understand making the song your own, but she made it to where it's not even the same song anymore.

    I think she needs to stay away from Coldplay songs.

  • 3:37 chills every time!!!!! I love the chick sooooooo much!!!!

  • I was half expecting a choir to pop out from behind her at the end. Ha ha ha!

    On another note: "butchering" is going too far. "Different" is a more accurate word. It's easy to copy a song note for note, but it takes talent to change it around to make it your own. If any of y'all bash on it cuz it sounds different, then go back and listen to the original in a corner and suck your thumb. I think what she did was brilliant. 'Nough said. >:3

  • i dont know how people can say this is "bad" or "butchering it". The point of a cover is to make it your own and different but still hear the song in it. Sara Bareilles is one of the best music arrangers I can think of. This song is so brilliant and beautiful it makes me cry. You people must not have ears.

  • what a thing to to do.

  • Absolutely beautiful. I love how she can take the most simplistic chords and make it sound so amazing. She feels everything note she plays and sings.

  • this is life changing

  • Sara has a background in Acapella music back in college. thats why she can do so much with so little background. She was a judge on the recent season of The Sing Off for damn good reason. And if you think acapella is boring..go check some of the Pentatonix clips and Urban Method, and look for the Queen medley one of the groups did..fist people to do a credible Bohemian..but it took 15 of em to do it 8).

  • ilovemusic0791 pretty much summed it up for me. Wow, What a Great Cover. 55 People, can't admit this was good.

  • Fab cover, some real talent. Please have a look at my channel and let me know what you think to my original songs and covers. x JA x DiscoKiss

  • That was amazing! :O Speechless. Finally i found a good cover! =)

  • if she didnt butcher the song it woud have been good
