I was listening to this on the bus as I entered Jerusalem (after travelling from Galilee) for the first time, when I paused (just after the first line of the chorus) I could actually Jerusalem's bell's a ringing, it was a very fitting thing to listen to at such a beautiful moment.
I remember my teacher explaining the history of French Revolution with this song and exactly this video and honestly I’m glad he did, because every time I hear this song I remember what he told us “The human’s worst enemy is the human itself”
The song is not about the french revolution. They just picked the picture for this music video. He sings about a king in general and his religious believs
@@markbrix9385 no the song is about king louis XVI who was king under the french revolution, The lyrics are his lost final speech that he held before he wad executed but no one could hear it because the crowd was screaming and shouting
That painting Chris Martin is carrying around, the cover art for their album, was created by Eugene Delacroix in 1830, depicting Lady Liberty in living human form leading the people while waving the French flag. The Revolutionaries are portrayed as the heros. But the lyrics are loosely based on the lost final speech of King Louis XVI before he was executed. The speech is lost because his words were drowned out by the screams and boos and the drums of the hate-filled crowd. The lyrics somewhat humanize the king, it reminds us that we're all just human inside, no matter what our position or title is (just a puppet on a lonely string, oh who would ever want to be king?). The song is of regret, sorrow, apology, he knows he'll be damned to hell (I know St. Peter won't call my name) and acceptance of his fate. The name Viva la vida (Spanish for Long live life) came from a painting Chris saw by Mexican painter Frida Kahlo. She suffered great physical pain, an injured spine, polio, yet here she was painting a big beautiful masterpiece, and as Chris stated in an interview, he loved the 'boldness' of it.
2:43 the combo of that infinite view and the sentence"but that was when I rule the world", is breathtaking, like if each of us was once able to do something imposible, great job.
Absolutely agree with you. Some of the live versions give me actual goosebumps watching them. They should all have been awarded an Ivor Novello for this masterpiece.
I am an 18 years old french girl, this song has been the soundtrack of my childhood, it reminds me of very happy moments in my life and till this day i had never realised how deep the lyrics of the song were and what it was actually about
Yeah it really goes to show how fragile some empires of men are today and how on the whim of your peers and friends your entire life could take a dive for the worst.
The amazing thing about this video is that this is a tribute to martin's favourite band. It's just beautiful. He is walking around as dave gahan on enjoy the silence. Come on guys. Just some music culture and history.
I just wanna say this video is so much more impactful than the original. It's like someone came out of time and saw how his former kingdom is moving on without him. This is how you make an emotional video
That's sort of the problem with it. Viva la Vida is a song steeped in metaphor. I see the lyrics represent the potentially sad process of ageing, and losing the energy of youth. The fact that this video is so literal sort of breaks that for me.
the video is in homage to Depeche Modes Enjoy the silence video, Chris Martin is a fan.. both videos are directed by Anton Corbjin Depeches visual director. x
Yes, but I think that both have its own essence. You know, both have the king with the swanky clothes walking throght lonely landscapes, but that's all. The Enjoy the silence have more naturalistic landscape and with the exception of the portable chair, it feels timeless and bring satisfaction. By other way, this one use more urbanistic landscapes and that make the king looks obsolete, a memory of another times, and the portrait of La liberté (pretty ironic, in my opinion) make the king more miserable, you know, in the Depeched Mode video the chair is all the the king needs, in this one, the portrait is all the king gets. It makes, in my opinion , a more melancholic enviroment in this one. This is just my personal interpretation, but I got to express it somewhere. Sorry if that bother or borers you.
@@nr8547 it is. Take a look at Depeche mode's video on "Enjoy the silence". And Anton Corbjin has been DM's video director since 90th' So this video is 100% pays tribute to DM's songs.
Notice this video ends near a beach which looks very similar to the one from the yellow video, which was their first hit, reminding me of the lyric "Let's go back to the start", from the scientist, incorporating their three biggest hits at the time into one song.
i m the major coldplay fan (been into them since january) and i ve never heard about scientist or yellow O_o in fact, i ve never heard about this one, either
@@madisonorellana8928 It is a reference, yeah. Chris Martin has said before that Depeche Mode have been one of their inspirations, so this is really an homage to the Enjoy the Silence video.
This is really cool to watch as someone from the Netherlands, which is where this was filmed. A lot of Dutch things from our culture that were used in this video make a lot of sense with the song. Also, I just plain love the fact that these guys came to my country to shoot a video. x)
i think the song it referes to Louis Napoleon Bonaparte, who was King of Holland between 1806 and 1810.... and in some point of his life his own brother forced him out of Holland and France...
That would seem weird. If he was on a bike nobody would even blink though. Wouldn't even make the top 10 strange things I've seen on a bicycle in Scheveningen.
Its such a treat going back to this video I saw couple years back. Learning the history of this song and what it is based on is just, wow. This is always my favorite song, so timeless. Thank you Coldplay for making another version of the music video, wish this was the main one though.
I just love how coldplay made this video, it's a right out cover/tribute to Depeche modes video on Enjoy the Silence, the guys in the group said Depeche were quite the influence on them and that they wanted to try a cover on this genious video.
Benarkan angan-anganku, kalo denger lagu ini pasti bayangan pikiranku tertuju beralihnya masa waktu ke abad renaisans, yaitu pada saat ksatria sejati yang baik melewati daerah yang masih belum ramai penduduknya setelah sekembalinya peperangan perubahan era baru dengan sambil membawa kemenangan besar, percaya atau tidak pasti aku ngebayangin ya, karena nada piano/komposer itu seperti musik abad renaisans.
Jerome Momin What happened was during the time of Louis and Marie Antionette was that the public were poor and they weren't giving anything to them and the public got outraged. It caused the French Revolution and they were both decapitated for the way they treated people. The rebels wanted freedom and that's what they did, if you know how to type and to know about Coldplay, may I ask how have you never heard of the French Revolution before?
The original is fantastic but this version makes the song even better. Fun fact this was directed by the same guy who directed the music video “Heart Shaped Box” by Nirvana.
I don't know why but this song remindes me of when I was six or something around there and I was in the car with my grandmother and I think this song was playing on the radio or something.I definitely heard it that day because ever since this song reminds me of that day.
Well I thought I was about around that age I kinda don't remember. You cannot tell me what age I am cause I know I am 13 and I've got a birth certificate to prove it.
To me it's incredible how this song reminds me of both terrible and wonderful memories.. But I prefer to remember the good ones! The best memory I have concerning this song is probably of the 23th of august 2008, 10 years ago. It was the day my older brother married his actual wife, and a few days before my 12th birthday. My family and I we were all in the car, before the big moment, and we were listening Viva la Vida. An incredible moment ♡ Thank you Coldplay, for having been a part of our lives 💖
This Video brings together two of the greatest Bands in the World! Who but Anton Corbijn could come up with such an idea! Viva la Vida made Coldplay Superstars, and Enjoy the Silence made DEPECHE MODE Superstars! I think these two Bands are one of the Best there is musically. It connect Generations!
Thanks Coldplay to have lived in the same period as i do, love to have shared years of my life with the best years of the band and to have seen you live in 2016 it will always be an unforgettable moment for me that will always stay at the deepest point of my heart. Thank you so much! best group ever, always cheered me up and at the same time made and will make me enjoy!
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!

One minute I held the key Next the walls were closed on me And I discovered that my castles stand Upon pillars of salt and pillars of sand I hear Jerusalem bells are ringing Roman Cavalry choirs are singing Be my mirror, my sword and shield My missionaries in a foreign field For some reason I can't explain Once you're gone there was never Never an honest word But that was when I ruled the world It was the wicked and wild wind Blew down the doors to let me in Shattered windows and the sound of drums People couldn't believe what I'd become Revolutionaries wait For my head on a silver plate Just a puppet on a lonely string Oh who would ever want to be king?

what a beautiful tribute to the greatest band in the history DM there won t be others like them, they are on their own league we love you DM and of course the OLD Coldplay , music changed i miss the old guitar,piano,drums...
4everFinnick.CFBeautiful Bring back the king of Burgundy maybe? Surely ALL of the Bourgogne's sent dead... Oh wait the main branch all died off oh 500 years ago.
This is what I imagine England to be like. And this is such a perfect song. Couldn’t stand it when it first came out as it was on the radio so much, but I appreciate it now very much.

My favorite Coldplay song of all time , but for some reason always makes me sad. By mirror, sword and shield.
Este hombre nunca dejara de sorprenderme
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 and pillars of sand
I hear Jerusalem bells are ringing
Roman Cavalry choirs are singing
Be my mirror, my sword and shield
My missionaries in a foreign field
For some reason I can't explain
Once you're gone there was never
Never an honest word
But that was when I ruled the world
It was the wicked and wild wind
Blew down the doors to let me in
Shattered windows and the sound of drums
People couldn't believe what I'd become
Revolutionaries wait
For my head on a silver plate
Just a puppet on a lonely string
Oh who would ever want to be king?
I hear Jerusalem bells are ringing
Roman Cavalry choirs are singing
Be my mirror, my sword and shield
My missionaries in a foreign field
For some reason I can't explain
I know Saint Peter won't call my name
Never an honest word
But that was when I ruled the world
Woahahahah oh, woahahah oh
Woahahahah oh, woahahah oh,
Woahahahah
I hear Jerusalem bells are ringing
Roman Cavalry choirs are singing
Be my mirror, my sword and shield
My missionaries in a foreign field
For some reason I can't explain
I know Saint Peter won't call my name
Never an honest word
But that was when I ruled the world
ooooooh ooh oooooh oh ooooooh oh oooooh ooh.

He really is a king ❤
Was this filmed in Holland?
Yes, in the Hague
Mikaela Zimmermann the flags are typical dutch, can hebe our king? ;)
4everFinnick.CFBeautiful Bring back the king of Burgundy maybe? Surely ALL of the Bourgogne's sent dead... Oh wait the main branch all died off oh 500 years ago.
Yes, there is a small (toy) town set up in Hague, Netherlands. You can see it in the video.
Nope in The Netherlands ;)
They way the video is colored gives the feeling of the time period that this video was tackling
Amazing!
This is what I imagine England to be like. And this is such a perfect song. Couldn’t stand it when it first came out as it was on the radio so much, but I appreciate it now very much.
For a second because of the thumbnail I thought this live action fallen kingdom by Coldplay
This is my life now.
Lmao
Well, basically, this is fallen kingdom before fallen kingdom
i did as well
BUT IT SHOULD BE..... ',:)
Nice to know someone still watches in 2019
juste like the king in "enjoy the silence" of depeche mode
Same video director.
Its a enjoy the silence Depeche Mode tribute
Pure art!
Fav song
Uma das melhores músicas do Coldplay e dos anos 2000. E o vídeo é uma bela homenagem ao Depeche Mode.
Depeche mode are gods
Enjoy the silence, não é, amigo?
@@KuronoY Creio que sim
Perfection 😍❤
He really has that look of a king though 👑
Great Song - makes me think what could have been
This is my favourite song of all time, this on repeat 🔂
8 years later and this song is still a banger🔥🔥
Muito bom TUDO aqui. Música e letra muito bem relacionadas. O vídeo ficou ótimo e muito significativo: um rei sem nenhum lugar nem mais uma época para governar.
La mejor expresión de aliento para el Alma,la vida es única y tenes que vivirla..Aliento ...💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾
I love how they teased "Voilet hill" (their next single) in the end.
BRILLIANT
