Chris Martin performs an acoustic version of Violet Hill at the absolute zoo session in London, Thought i would share it with you! Please rate and comment..
Absolutely Brilliant. His playing is perfect, emphasizing the right tones, with passion and flawless rythem. His voice is never off, and he manouvers perfectly between the falsetto and alto. The man is a musical genious, and I envy him!
He's such a good instrumentalist... You find great voices every once in a while, great pianists every once in a while, and great guitarists every once in a while. But he's all in the same (down-to-earth) person!... Love you Chris!
Fucking Hell. Live and acoustic, and it sounds like a million dollars of production went in to it. Amazing Song, Version, Band, Artist....I love this band....Especially Chris Martin. Genius
@Diego W because very few have the guts to go for falsetto/mixed voice parts. Although I'm not sure if, in this case, "exclusive" could also be used for that section.
@loss7y Chords are pretty simple key of C# minor Was a long and dark december Cm From the rooftops i remeber Cm (I play piano, but I think guitarists call this a Sus chord. Add a B to the Cm chord.) there was snow AM white snow F#M For the "DUN DUN DUN DUN" afterwards the notes are F# F ENat Eb
It was a long and dark December From the rooftops I remember There was snow, white snow Clearly I remember From the windows they were watching While we froze down below When the future's architectured By a carnival of idiots on show You'd better lie low If you love me, won't you let me know? Was a long and dark December When the banks became cathedrals And a fox became God Priests clutched onto Bibles Hollowed out to fit their rifles And a cross was held aloft Bury me in armour When I'm dead and hit the ground My nerves are poles that unfroze And if you love me, won't you let me know? I don't want to be a soldier Who the captain of some sinking ship Would stow, far below So if you love me, why d'you let me go? I took my love down to Violet Hill There we sat in snow All that time she was silent still Said if you love me, won't you let me know? If you love me, won't you let me know?
0:33 he says "from the rooftops they were watching"..but actually it is "from the window they were watching" Anyway the part "if you love won't you let me now" is fucking great!!=P
I've just put up a cover of this one, which I think is very close to this in terms of how it's played. Have a look if you have a couple of minutes! Tuning is - C# A D G C# C#
@LuvRemyanJack He sais exclusive IS another word for 'not that good'. Anyway I'm always amazed how good this guy sounds live by himself without anything but a mic and guitar/piano.
@Linqoon i know , i was just suprised, but i know that they made some mistakes , but when you best in the world u have some mistakes. P.S coldplay mistakes is equal bieber best song
@danfrs yes it is. Actually I think it's like this(low e first) C#-A-D-G-C#-C# See my new channel, maybe it can help you get the tabs .. the video code : v=91EQCYE_xsM Comment please. Thank you.

OMG Chris singing that riff was so cute
He's such a good instrumentalist... You find great voices every once in a while, great pianists every once in a while, and great guitarists every once in a while. But he's all in the same (down-to-earth) person!... Love you Chris!
This is why I have married Chris Martin in my dreams. That and the fact that he is amazing... and perfect. Just wowm
Fucking Hell. Live and acoustic, and it sounds like a million dollars of production went in to it. Amazing Song, Version, Band, Artist....I love this band....Especially Chris Martin. Genius

@Diego W because very few have the guts to go for falsetto/mixed voice parts. Although I'm not sure if, in this case, "exclusive" could also be used for that section.

@loss7y
Chords are pretty simple
key of C# minor
Was a long and dark december
Cm
From the rooftops i remeber
Cm (I play piano, but I think guitarists call this a Sus chord. Add a B to the Cm chord.)
there was snow
AM
white snow
F#M
For the "DUN DUN DUN DUN" afterwards the notes are F# F ENat Eb
Fantastic...but damned, I would love to hear him playing this song on the Piano!
I love the accoustic solo x)

This is the best version they should only play it acoustic from now on IMO.

OMG I liked the original but I absolutely love this version!!! This man Is a genius!!!
what a performance!!!
just wow!
Best solo in the world! Why do we need Jonny?
No, kidding. Coldplay is only Coldplay with our favourite four guys!;)
As perfect as Chris does it always!
It was a long and dark December
From the rooftops I remember
There was snow, white snow
Clearly I remember
From the windows they were watching
While we froze down below
When the future's architectured
By a carnival of idiots on show
You'd better lie low
If you love me, won't you let me know?
Was a long and dark December
When the banks became cathedrals
And a fox became God
Priests clutched onto Bibles
Hollowed out to fit their rifles
And a cross was held aloft
Bury me in armour
When I'm dead and hit the ground
My nerves are poles that unfroze
And if you love me, won't you let me know?
I don't want to be a soldier
Who the captain of some sinking ship
Would stow, far below
So if you love me, why d'you let me go?
I took my love down to Violet Hill
There we sat in snow
All that time she was silent still
Said if you love me, won't you let me know?
If you love me, won't you let me know?
hahaha, "eeeeoooohh eh oh! eeeh oh eh oh!
i wonder why no cover can reach those notes at 1:42 :p
Thats something else...love it ;)
Viva la Christ Martin :)

Grande esibizione!
its his song. he can do whatver he wants with it and it can't be counted as a mistake
Really love this song x :)

0:33 he says "from the rooftops they were watching"..but actually it is "from the window they were watching"
Anyway the part "if you love won't you let me now" is fucking great!!=P

I wonder if he felt ridiculous singing the insturmental part at 1:52. I know I would. It doesn't sound bad though!
The only thing I could never understand was the 'RKBCK'
CK - future CarKids? ;D
and Noel Gallagher
does anyone know where i can find the chords/tab for this
only chris can sing guitar solos :)
Better than the original.
Bang!!!! ❤️ 🔫
