The original song felt like an ode to days of glory long since passed, but this one feels like finding joy in living a simpler life. It's really amazing how tone can change things.
Very true ! I was trying to understand what made me feel emotional in this song's rendition. And I think the fact that the song is sang by a group rather than one person (like the original) gives a completely different meaning to it.
The lyric's are about tyrant king Louis XVI's unheard final speech as he faces his demise. Interesting they filmed this at Bath Abbey rather than at Notre Dame, post-fire for effect.
For some reason, I've always loved the sound of Gregorian chanting. This is still my favorite cover of this song. The irony of the imagery and lyrics is top tier also.

This song makes me cry because it reminds me of a dear friend who taught me this song when we were in hospital together. We played it on our violins together. Beautiful 💚
I keep telling people that this isn’t a happy song based on the lyrics, don’t let the catchy beat confuse ya! 😅 Like Chandelier by Sia. Happy backing tracks can really disguise some melancholy lyrics, and it does interesting things to the message.
@@dirks9816 They said that so they wouldn't be sued more than they did because of that song, but if you read Napoleon's biography, you'll see that those lyrics tell his story. Louis XVI did not "used to rule the world", for the French territories in his time are nothing compared to those in Napoleon's time. Falaram isso pra não tomarem mais processos do que levaram por causa dessa música, mas se você ler a biografia de Napoleão verá que essa letra conta a trajetória dele. Luís XVI não "costumava governar o mundo", pois os territórios franceses no tempo dele não são nada se comparados aos do tempo de Napoleão.
I'm doing a marathon, where I try to write something about the song in the comments before the music videos end, but this song gives me the feeling that I don't have enough time. Just an emotion I don't know how to express.
Sublime , what a perfection and divine beauty !!! The highest quality level of this extraordinary Gregorian's choirs version in the world !!!! The most wonderful angels voices !!!! Very nice , outstanding !!!!
This is an amazing Video Just takes my breath away the filming of the castles and that Beautiful Church I will never be able to see that part of the World Thank You Just Wonderful
I am a Palestinian and I live in Jerusalem , this part really hit me softly " I hear Jerusalem bells ringing " because I hear them everyday and i really love the sound of bells ...
It's kind of an amalgamation song as far as I can tell nothing is specific. It's general themes that have played out dozens of times with a number of historical references. I don't think it's meant to tell a specific story. I think the French Revolution has some of the most romantic and yet ruthless imagery attached to it. It was a people's uprising against a decadent aristocracy followed by decades of some of the most vicious bloodshed in history. Not a new story but damn did they do it in style.
I find this version fits better than what Coldplay's does, something about the way its sung...like it wanted a lot of voices instead of just one if that makes sense?
@@MegaRazorback I feel the same way about "Under Pressure". The original is amazing but there is something more powerful about Happy Feet 2's version, so many voices coming together as one... It has a weight to it that no single voice, no matter how great that one voice is, can do alone.

We went to Birmingham symphony hall as year 4 group, to sing with lots of other schools from the midlands. We had all learnt the songs we sang separately in our own school. This was one of the songs we were taught. It was the year our much loved friend and head teacher retired. I remember watching him have to leave the auditorium as listening to a couple of thousand children reduced him to tears. This version evoked that memory. I loved it.
This is a NEW song for me to listen to... AND "" One of Us ""...I LOVE the Gregorians...I will NEVER get tired of them..I have been a Loyal Gregorian Fan for 4 years now....They are on my TOP 5 BEST musical groups EVER !!! I am SO Proud of them..they have given the world a lot of very powerful and Positive Light...

you are like angels singing in this musical sky, singing resounding songs that move people. i am a christian and after listening to this song i feel energetic again thank you for this singing heaven (sincere apologies for my limited English ;-;) :)
I am a Christian in the USA. I have never heard this chant before but this was on my page and it looked so intriguing I just had to click. I really enjoyed it. Reading the comments it seems to have some Religious significance. I will have to check it out.
It's a pop song cover. These guys are not actually monks. The original song is by Coldplay. Even fake pop Gregorian Chant is beautiful. I love the real stuff. Makes me glad to be Catholic!
@@nodeloc1955 That type of singing, yes, has roots in the catholic church. The singers in that band, however, they are just singers hired to sing that way. They are not part of any church or anything like that.
hildegrade777 probably not soulless but a lot of people had problems with the background music. Probably different tonal hearing. A lot of people make comments about sound in video that I don’t notice or like myself.
What a combination of fantastic singing and beautiful music as well as the other way around as well. This is now my most favorite song of my entire life and I'm in my early 60's!
The song's title, “Viva la Vida,” is a Spanish saying that means “long live life” or “live the life”. The song's lyrics deal with themes of power, fame, and the pursuit of success. The song's album cover is a portion of the 1830 painting “Liberty Leading the People” by French artist Eugène Delacroix. The song's name comes from a painting by Frida Kahlo, a 20th-century Mexican artist.
I’d found this casually! What a wonderful video with beautiful sights of landmarks and old churches, but the voices are truly angelic! Thanks for sharing!
The sound is breathtaking- the combination of amazing voices in the breath taking artistic structures- this soul soothing sound cannot be made any other way! And the amazing beautiful visuals - WOW!😍❤️🤩💕🌞🌹🌻🌿💖🌷
Excelente ,estás si se n canciones para el alma y con música gregoriana, mi estilo favorito y los que he escuchado por mas de 12años. Esto necesita la humanidad.😀😀😀 Saludos desde León ; Guanajuato ; México,de un admirador suyo, todavía recuerdo cuando un sacerdote puso de fondo una de las canciones de este grupo en una graduación, en la Salle.😀😀😀
I actually like the backtrack. I feel there is mix of old and new in this song. Video and the choir presents very well the past and the backtrack is nice little modern twist. Really good job guys. Keep it up!
It's not bad. It's a bit too loud but not that bad. I'd like to hear an alt version with a choir and/or a pipe organ. It would blend a lot better I think
Es espectacular estos genios .quien más los escucha .en este áño tan castigado mundialmente 🙏 BENDICIONES a cada persona del rincón del planeta 🙏🌍🙏.Estos cantos Gregorianos son imponente al menos al que nos gusta esta música .🇺🇾❣️🙏👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
My favourite song of all time, it came out when my youngest son was shortlisted for the part of Bran in Game of thrones and it seemed to sum up the character of the series, we had 6 months of recalls, secrecy and excitement , he was pipped at the post by Issac, amazing memories of happy exciting times with my amazing little 10 year old, now a BA. in arts and a Master in law, still makes me cry every time. Thank you.

Song is about the French revolution and told from the perspective of the king. But if you're catholic this song hits deeper. Back then, the French monarchy was catholic and was one of the strongest empires in the world. France was a catholic nation and Catholicism in general was strong worldwide. Once the monarchy fell.. it had a domino effect where Catholic leadership fell everywhere. Paving the way for secularism, atheism and liberalism to take over the world.
Under the Empire of Napoleon and under many republics France was very Catholic, everything has collapsed since 1968. Although, for some time a part of the population is reaffirming their faith
Not exactly. The song's title "Viva la Vida" is taken from a painting by 20th-century Mexican artist Frida Kahlo. Although the song is about a monarch who lost his/her kingdom, it can be interpreted in many ways even in history. You are probably mentioning the French Revolution of 1789-1799 and execution of Louis XVI. But I think the better scenario would be the Revolution of 1848 since Louis Philippe I is actually the last King of France, not Louis XVI.
وَأَنِيبُوا إِلَى رَبِّكُمْ وَأَسْلِمُوا لَهُ مِن قَبْلِ أَن يَأْتِيَكُمُ الْعَذَابُ ثُمَّ لَا تُنصَرُونَ "Turn ye to our Lord (in repentance) and bow to His (Will), before the Penalty comes on you: after that ye shall not be helped وَاتَّبِعُوا أَحْسَنَ مَا أُنزِلَ إِلَيْكُم مِّن رَّبِّكُم مِّن قَبْلِ أَن يَأْتِيَكُمُ العَذَابُ بَغْتَةً وَأَنتُمْ لَا تَشْعُرُونَ "And follow the best of (the courses) revealed to you from your Lord, before the Penalty comes on you - of a sudden while ye perceive not أَن تَقُولَ نَفْسٌ يَا حَسْرَتَى علَى مَا فَرَّطتُ فِي جَنبِ اللَّهِ وَإِن كُنتُ لَمِنَ السَّاخِرِينَ "Lest the soul should (then) say: 'Ah! Woe is me!- In that I neglected (my duty) towards Allah, and was but among those who mocked أَوْ تَقُولَ لَوْ أَنَّ اللَّهَ هَدَانِي لَكُنتُ مِنَ الْمُتَّقِينَ "Or (lest) it should say: 'If only Allah had guided me, I should certainly have been among the righteous Quran .islam/
I can't stop listening to this. The resonance draws me, the stylized visuals entrance me. I've never been a groupie, buy I like this so much I want to know more about these men. That's weird for me. But I can't stop.
@@Arylwren1 It is! And it is exactly dedicated to him, although in the Gregorian version it reminds me a lot of his predecessor Louis IX, who died in a crusade and it is canon that he liked Gregorian music. The only difference regarding the lyrics is that he did try to be honest. Although it all ended because of the mistakes of the crusade 😢
@@user-zb8tq5pr4x some song they made themselves. Moment of Peace is one of them I believe, no matter. They make good covers and good music in general.
I always felt it was a Pop music classic, but it is so good that it can be performed in so many ways and still be good. Perform it in Latin at a lower pace and it becomes Gothic almost.
Com tamanha diversidade, que mais podemos almejar senão ficarmos extasiados por tamanha glória ao nosso Deus e com vozes desta extraordinária qualidade?

Finding and connecting with someone in hospital makes the stay much more bearable. It's so lovely that you two were able to do that together.
Sorry

According to coldplay, the song is about King Louis XVI, who was killed during the french revolution.

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 go there was never, never a honest word
And that was when I ruled the world
It was a 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 Calvary 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
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
I hear Jerusalem bells are ringing
Roman Calvary choirs are singing
Be my mirror, my sword and shield
My missionaries in a foreign field

I know Saint Peter won't call my name
Never an honest word
But that was when I ruled the world

hildegrade777 probably not soulless but a lot of people had problems with the background music. Probably different tonal hearing. A lot of people make comments about sound in video that I don’t notice or like myself.
What magnificent music, Got goosebumps on my skin.
Me too
@@karenhume6768 yeah! thanks for the comment
@@rohanverma3037 I think that I am addicted.

Y yo otro menos
.....FELICIDADES...
......MUSICA,BUENA MUSICA,EL IDIOMA QUE TODOS ENTENDEMOS!..
Si, otra menos para el regueton. Saben como se llama el que canta en el minuto 1:33?
Whenever I listen to the Gregorian chants or music I feel like a warrior getting ready to head to battle. 😊
This song always gives me the goosebumps and this particular version - amazing!
What a combination of fantastic singing and beautiful music as well as the other way around as well. This is now my most favorite song of my entire life and I'm in my early 60's!
When the Cleric has an entertainer background.

It’s beautiful!
The song's title, “Viva la Vida,” is a Spanish saying that means “long live life” or “live the life”. The song's lyrics deal with themes of power, fame, and the pursuit of success.
The song's album cover is a portion of the 1830 painting “Liberty Leading the People” by French artist Eugène Delacroix. The song's name comes from a painting by Frida Kahlo, a 20th-century Mexican artist.
For some reason I read the title as La Vida Loca, so I was expecting a very different song. This one fits a lot better stylistically...
This feels so holy.
Bless you brothers.
Chills... literal chills
This fr feels like the intended way for it to be sung
Boas para todos,, isto é bombástico como diz a música vive a vida ela é maravilhosa felicidades para todos vocês
0:57 woahh that guy voice, so amazing
I have listened to this version for the last 4 hours! Loved the original but this just made my heart soar. Cheesy I know but...it really did.
Totally the most heavenly choir I’ve heard in my lifetime!! This was the most perfect music!!
Grégorien ….thank you very much….beautiful voices…..
There are many goose bumps on my body,when they began to sing the song together,this is really a fantastic one!
I’d found this casually! What a wonderful video with beautiful sights of landmarks and old churches, but the voices are truly angelic! Thanks for sharing!
I DEMAND MORE!!! Love the sound of gregorian chants and this is amazing
There is something very moving about this song, I love Gregorian Chant. how it all blends together.
This song is so beautiful! And with those voices sounds wonderful.
Definitivamente superan las expectativas maravillosa música Gregoriana .👍🇺🇾❣️👏👏👏👏 Uruguay presente siempre
The sound is breathtaking- the combination of amazing voices in the breath taking artistic structures- this soul soothing sound cannot be made any other way! And the amazing beautiful visuals - WOW!😍❤️🤩💕🌞🌹🌻🌿💖🌷
Excelente ,estás si se n canciones para el alma y con música gregoriana, mi estilo favorito y los que he escuchado por mas de 12años. Esto necesita la humanidad.😀😀😀 Saludos desde León ; Guanajuato ; México,de un admirador suyo, todavía recuerdo cuando un sacerdote puso de fondo una de las canciones de este grupo en una graduación, en la Salle.😀😀😀
@Neorion Alan si así es lo conozco, lástima que ahora la humanidad está volteada y escucha otras cosas
I actually like the backtrack. I feel there is mix of old and new in this song. Video and the choir presents very well the past and the backtrack is nice little modern twist. Really good job guys. Keep it up!
I think fewer people would have complained if the backtrack had simply been turned down in volume slightly.
It's not bad. It's a bit too loud but not that bad.
I'd like to hear an alt version with a choir and/or a pipe organ. It would blend a lot better I think
@@nicolaim4275 And the backtrack I find perfect volume, if anything I would want the voices very slightly lower. (in volume)
Beautiful!!! Almost as good as their version of The Sound of Silence they performed in the Cathedral at Santiago de Compestella in Spain.
I really like the meaning of the faith that carries this song in everyone who sings it.
it's a retelling of the French revolution and the death of King Louis XVI.
Será que um dia virão ao Brasil?!
Amo essas vozes e as suas músicas!
Seria imperdível!
Wow que locura 🤙
We heard this at school today. It was too loud but it got deep into my soul. This song is gold!
Русские идут☝️😏😎
Hauntingly beautiful! Who knew that Coldplay could sound so good!
the back beat on this version was OUTSTANDING.....BRAVO!!

I love the depths and gravity of their rendition. It’s powerful but sweet and melancholy as well. I thank you so much
I agree. This performance is such a lovely work of art.
I love that we can see their faces full and clear, i think they are the new generation of Georgian chanters ❤
All of their songs are real gems to me..loved it here from the Philippines..👍🤝🙏🏼💖📀💿🇵🇭
Essa música me leva mais perto do céu e me fas pensar mais em deus.um feliz ano novo a todos. com muita paz e saúde.
Happy new year 👌
Show.Talentos revelados por Deus.

My favourite song of all time, it came out when my youngest son was shortlisted for the part of Bran in Game of thrones and it seemed to sum up the character of the series, we had 6 months of recalls, secrecy and excitement , he was pipped at the post by Issac, amazing memories of happy exciting times with my amazing little 10 year old, now a BA. in arts and a Master in law, still makes me cry every time. Thank you.
Nunca me cansaré de escuchar esta bellísima música Aquí me lleno de emoción Siento qué Dios Me ama Más de lo merezco A pesar que lo E ofendido mucho😢que y mis ojos se llenan de lágrimas Gracias,, 🙏por subir estos videos✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨❤que Dan Vida Y reaniman a un triste❤ 🙏🙏🌷🇲🇽
I thought this song already gave me chills but this amplifies it. Adore it
Song is about the French revolution and told from the perspective of the king. But if you're catholic this song hits deeper. Back then, the French monarchy was catholic and was one of the strongest empires in the world. France was a catholic nation and Catholicism in general was strong worldwide. Once the monarchy fell.. it had a domino effect where Catholic leadership fell everywhere. Paving the way for secularism, atheism and liberalism to take over the world.
"But that was when I ruled the world". - *weeps in catholic*
Under the Empire of Napoleon and under many republics France was very Catholic, everything has collapsed since 1968. Although, for some time a part of the population is reaffirming their faith
Not exactly. The song's title "Viva la Vida" is taken from a painting by 20th-century Mexican artist Frida Kahlo. Although the song is about a monarch who lost his/her kingdom, it can be interpreted in many ways even in history. You are probably mentioning the French Revolution of 1789-1799 and execution of Louis XVI. But I think the better scenario would be the Revolution of 1848 since Louis Philippe I is actually the last King of France, not Louis XVI.
Uau! Obrigada
Cảm ơn bạn
THIS IS SUBLIME !!!
A REAL DIVINE LEVEL EXPERIENCE FOR THE SPIRIT AND SOUL ABSOLUTELY !!!
DIVIINE HARMONY , BEAUTY AND PERFECTION !!!
No puedo explicar con palabras esta increíble version de Coldplay 🙋🏻♀️🙏👋👋👋👋👋👋👋👋👋Bendiciones desde México 🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽
They weren’t lying about the Roman Calvary Choirs....
وَأَنِيبُوا إِلَى رَبِّكُمْ وَأَسْلِمُوا لَهُ مِن قَبْلِ أَن يَأْتِيَكُمُ الْعَذَابُ ثُمَّ لَا تُنصَرُونَ
"Turn ye to our Lord (in repentance) and bow to His (Will), before the Penalty comes on you: after that ye shall not be helped
وَاتَّبِعُوا أَحْسَنَ مَا أُنزِلَ إِلَيْكُم مِّن رَّبِّكُم مِّن قَبْلِ أَن يَأْتِيَكُمُ العَذَابُ بَغْتَةً وَأَنتُمْ لَا تَشْعُرُونَ

"Lest the soul should (then) say: 'Ah! Woe is me!- In that I neglected (my duty) towards Allah, and was but among those who mocked
أَوْ تَقُولَ لَوْ أَنَّ اللَّهَ هَدَانِي لَكُنتُ مِنَ الْمُتَّقِينَ

@@alhamdleallah I don't read squiggles
@@alhamdleallah Look, I'm also a Muslim, but goddamn, can't a man just enjoy a good choir singing a song that has nothing to do with religion?
@@alhamdleallah we all have the same God
@@alhamdleallah @see what happened Lol Don't Dakwah here It Looks Gross
And Islam is Paganic Religion btw + Muhammad wasn't a Prophet
They are Real Musicians... I am in Awe.
I really hope the original artists have heard these takes because they are absolutely beautiful
I can't stop listening to this. The resonance draws me, the stylized visuals entrance me. I've never been a groupie, buy I like this so much I want to know more about these men. That's weird for me. But I can't stop.
this sounds like a ballad that a king one sang to lament, now sang by future generations in choirs.
it is. it's a retelling of the French revolution and the death of King Louis XVI.
@@Arylwren1 It is! And it is exactly dedicated to him, although in the Gregorian version it reminds me a lot of his predecessor Louis IX, who died in a crusade and it is canon that he liked Gregorian music. The only difference regarding the lyrics is that he did try to be honest. Although it all ended because of the mistakes of the crusade 😢
Love their music. Angels
It's not really their music though, is it
@@user-zb8tq5pr4x some song they made themselves. Moment of Peace is one of them I believe, no matter. They make good covers and good music in general.
I always felt it was a Pop music classic, but it is so good that it can be performed in so many ways and still be good. Perform it in Latin at a lower pace and it becomes Gothic almost.
Com tamanha diversidade, que mais podemos almejar senão ficarmos extasiados por tamanha glória ao nosso Deus e com vozes desta extraordinária qualidade?
Feliz Aniversário! E Parabéns!! Pelo Dom da ViDa do meu irmão muito amado Ailton. Que O Espiríto Santo, o Ilumine Hoje e sempre😊
Meu Deus, que maravilha de canção! Chego a ficar arrepiada!
The chorus hits so hard it sends shivers down my spine
File this under 'things I never knew I needed'
