Very unsuspecting. If you played this at Britain's Got Talent, you would've gotten 2 crosses by 0:50 for it being 'primitive' or 'nothing special'. Boy, would they be surprised by the time it comes to the chorus. I know I was. An exquisite and tranquil piece, I must say. Bravo, good sir. Bravo.
... His right hand was playing chords AND the melody at the same time. Knowing BGT judges, they would've gone up to look and saw his little and/or ring finger playing separately, which is relatively difficult (though I can't say, I only play string instruments).
lol im still working on the clocks cover u made.... how u come up with an 'improved' version of a song.. i have no clue.. im in awe... seriously. you are just awesome. and i love coldplay too.... CHRIS MARTIN FTW *applauds*
The best part of this version (This version of Viva la Vida is the best I've ever heard... ever) in my opinion is that with your left hand, you add a chord of low notes at the beginning of every other measure, and keep that chord going throughout the melody/harmony for that measure. It just makes the song that much better with that small detail. :D
Technically, he's not hating since he says he could care less, which means he is still caring about your playing skills. If he wanted to hate, he could have just said, 'I couldn't care less' :)
this is such a fantastic song, and is improved with this cover :) I listen to it each morning just to see how good he is and also to make myself feel bad that I can't play this song as well as he can :3
I hear Jerusalem bells a ringing, Roman cavalry choirs a singing Be my mirror my sword my shield, My missionaries in a foreign field, Lots of things that I can't explain, I know St. Peter won't call my name, Never an honest word, If that was when I ruled the world.
Super awesome this sounds exactly like the song i played them at the same time i wish i had big enough hands but i can play a beginner version of this also thanks for the sheet music you rock!!!!!!!!
My only complaint is that I think the Yamaha's too bright for this song. Or maybe it's just because I tend to be pedal-heavy when I play this. Amazing arrangement! I really love this on the piano.
you are my absolute favourite, not many pll listen to coldplay n they truly need to understand the true meaning to music! :) THANK YOU! I SHALL FOLLOW YOU NOW! lolz stalker :P
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 an honest word And 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 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.

You are one of the better pianists that walks around on this planet.
WOW... Just WOW..... Really I listened to a number of your covers today and I am just speechless... you are a LEGEND I would say... AMAZING
You have obviously worked long and hard to develop your piano skills. I hope I can be as good as you one day.
Kate S. So.....how about now?

The Gamin’ Bros give up brother. She’s in a better place now:(

youve just earned yourself the satisfaction of knowing that this video is now on my ipod
I am dying to learn how to play piano, but I feel like won't be able to at all. This video and many of your others inspire me and leave me speechless.
This is the most awesome piano cover of Viva la Vida i have ever heard.
I've been watching your covers since 2009 and I still love them, keep it up you really inspired me to play piano myself!

Jack Taylor Perhaps, but they would probably be too lazy :P
Siam Hossain They've done so a number of times ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Jack Taylor Then, I need to brush up on my BGT knowledge :I
I remember learning it last year! It's a really fun song to learn!!
do upload a cover!
AMAZING. One of the best covers of Viva la Vida.
Brilliant just brilliant.... my favourite piece....
Dude, you diserve some kind of metal for this.....maybe a award. this is breathtakingly amazing.
I love all your Coldplay's covers, and this one is amazing !
Congratulations from France :)
The last 22 seconds gave me utter chills...
Shit same
Come back?
This gives me chills
This is second nature to him I could listen to this all day
I liked it even before I heard it just because I knew it would be awesome, and I was right! You're an amazing player!
You are very talented and I love this version.
Catriona Holland this version is basic
very beautiful! i love how you mimic the timpani drum with that lower chord it's a nice touch!
Everyone. He did it. He won. This is amazing. This is literally amazing
Look how late I am to hear this
Swapnil me too
Same
Man, I remember when I finally learned to play this, it was the only thing I played for a while lol. I wish I didn't stop playing
By far the best version I've heard! I've seen your other vids as well. You're so talented!!
I think this is the best version out of all the other videos. Also good video quality.
I envy your hands! Perfect to play the piano, the octave looks so easy for you!
Epic cover of an epic song. Well done.
i've watched almost all of ur vids and i think ur bloody amazing.. simply brilliant :)
I wish I had a friend like you to teach me!
Amazzzzingggg
Every time I listen to Adrian I sing along
lol im still working on the clocks cover u made.... how u come up with an 'improved' version of a song.. i have no clue.. im in awe... seriously.
you are just awesome.
and i love coldplay too.... CHRIS MARTIN FTW
*applauds*
It sounds as if the piano is singing itself. Cdfu nice cover bro. Congrats on making one of my favorite songs even better.
wow! That was very majestic. Captures the passion of the original song! Good job!
Was trying this. It hurts my right hand to stretch that much, but sounds awesome. Good job!
You are literally the best piano cover player on youtube!!
The best part of this version (This version of Viva la Vida is the best I've ever heard... ever) in my opinion is that with your left hand, you add a chord of low notes at the beginning of every other measure, and keep that chord going throughout the melody/harmony for that measure.

Just beautiful
Cheers Adrian, I loved your previous 'improved' version, but this is something else. Good work, buddy. Keep it up. Morale for all..........
ALL your coldplay covers are AMAZING!!!!!! TWO THUMBS UP!!!
Nice job! I can play the beginning and i learning it by ear i cant read sheet music its just confusing.
then go ahead and practice. we could care less
why the hate m8?
Technically, he's not hating since he says he could care less, which means he is still caring about your playing skills. If he wanted to hate, he could have just said, 'I couldn't care less' :)
because he is a guitarist =-)
+Corpsgrinder360 | Corps Army I think he meant no one cares if he can't read. Just play on/play by ear
wow i love your videos, really, you one of the best here and i've seen a lot (:
It's amazing to see your hands move that fast.
you are brilliant!!
i give you a standing ovation
Adrian, you are a legend. I say thank you for the music ;-)
You are astoundingly gifted!
This is just WOW! No words can describe how AMAZING you are at this. Honestly .... :)
you've inspired me to want to play piano more than i've ever did, i can half play this song. thanks :D
You are amazing!!! You should have joined that RUclips symphony! You would have blown their minds away!!!
wow man you are really talented! Very good!
That was beautifully played. I'm glad you changed some aspects of the original piece to your own preference. A like for you, sir.

Nostalgic, back when RUclips had stars.
I agree with "goldfishhrs" You are THE BEST piano youtube!!! you are amazing!!! I saw all of your videos I love to listen to it!!!!
FANTASTIC!!!!!! I hope to play this one day!
this is such a fantastic song, and is improved with this cover :) I listen to it each morning just to see how good he is and also to make myself feel bad that I can't play this song as well as he can :3
Do you still listen to this every morning?
I can't wait to learn the piano after my Junior Cert, you sir, are a huge inspiration.
I hear Jerusalem bells a ringing,
Roman cavalry choirs a singing
Be my mirror my sword my shield,
My missionaries in a foreign field,
Lots of things that I can't explain,
I know St. Peter won't call my name,
Never an honest word,
If that was when I ruled the world.
O rly?

HENRY!!!! MESSI!!!!
I belive someone has made a percussion ensemble for this on musescore. We played a version for our spring concert in school that sounds very similar.
Beautifully played
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 an honest word
And 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
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.
Your absoloutley AMAZING! I really want to learn how to play it
this must be sooo difficult to play... chapeau, you're really great.
you have great talent! i wish i could play like that.
one word....AWESOME!!!
