Like I’m irritated that comments keep missing out Femi’s name!!!!!! Like WTH????? I’m so confused like wait isn’t this Femi but hardly any mention of him in comment section! Had to ask my bro like am I hearing things ? Isn’t that Fela talking!!!
@@Zeta4 Must've been coz of the early morning cold and they couldn't warm the instruments & keep tune properly before hand given there were other songs being recoded just before. My guess.
Amazing. Beautiful as always. By the way, the lead Saxophonist in 2:03 is Femi Kuti, a son of the (late) Nigerian legend Fela Kuti who is considered as a key inspiration for Afrobeats. Interestingly, a sample from the Fela Kuti is used in 4:06 "Music is the weapon of the future" As a Nigerian, I listened to Coldplay while growing up and I'm so happy to see this beautiful collaboration.
Absolutely beautiful. The intro is life. The guitar is its beginning. The horn section is its beauty. The saxophone is its playfulness. The singing and blending of people is who we all are. The same fuc*ing blood is our unicity. The magic of life. Absolutely mesmerising.
This has got to be one of the high points of Coldplay’s career. It’s such a powerful, driving, yet jazzy track and so unique from anything they’ve done before - you wouldn’t guess that it was Coldplay if you didn’t know. The album might not have sold that well but this is such a solid piece of music. The lyrics carry the theme of unity and togetherness so effectively, something they’ve advocated for throughout their whole career, and musically it embodies this theme so perfectly with its amalgam of influences. What a masterpiece
I love how they brought together a bunch of different musicians from various genres and nationalities to create something that has a uniqueness and pure creation feel to it. It's pretty awesome.
This actually is one of the strongest performances by everyone involved ever. How is this music so underrated by the amount of views? I don´t get it ever. Playing this like 10 times a day, still gives me chills...the simplicity of the song in it´s way. Wow.
You can find a hint of everything in this song. That’s what makes it Beautiful The Sax and horns incorporates Afrobeats 100% West African (Nigerian). The Sax soloist is Femi Kuti. The son of the great Fela Kuti.
Everyone here is on fire, but gotta give props to Guy's bass playing here. It has absolute authority over the rhythm, and really solidifies the place of all the instruments and performers.
@@simran4955 because everyone can have their own opinion, you can "enjoy your thing" on your own", don't blame other people for not being a sheep, my dudette.
This sax solo sounds like home even the music as a whole. Coldplay thank you for making the fusion of totally different genre of music happen. Never thought or imagine this could have. I have been a fan of coldplays music since the first time I heard their music. It feels like heaven to me. Baba Femi, great solo. Arararara.
He always kept making music or video’s but mostly for others and also has been concentrating on his clothing line. Yesterday it was announced that a new album is coming up, release date tbc.
Ten years ago I became a fan through the song "viva la vida" that I met in 2009 and since then I haven't stopped listening to all the hits. my dream? meet this massive crowd that makes this band part of my life and many other people. Thanks again Coldplay, I love you guys!
Stromae are slowly doing his return to the media. Im so proud and happy to see that he doesnt give up on his dreams. This guy are a legend. Love him so much! Also, Chris and coldplay are legends too, the message of the song are just amazing and the meaning to be record in Jordan is even bigger than we ever thought. I just love this duo so much, hope to see more of coldplay and stromae soon!
I'm Belgian and a huge fan of Coldplay since their beginnings, and seeing them perform with my favorite Belgian artist is amazing. Lots of love to Coldplay and Stromae. Amazing music.
I'm impressed they got everyone, from the band to the guy who did the French part, out here blasting on a rooftop in Jordan at 4 in the friggin morning.
Jordan is my country ❤️❤️🇯🇴🇯🇴 thank you Coldplay for such an amazing album.. We welcome all tourists who seek to taste the authentic magic of the middle east ❤️
I’m from Brazil and I was traveling through Jordan - exact three months ago I took a picture at this exact same spot! If I knew these guys would do something like this, I would have changed everything! This is even better than the studio album!
What an unbelievably awesome band!! Every single song resonates!!! When I listen, there are no more wars, no more guns, no more hatred, no more violence. Just amazing, unifying music.
Pure magic. Each year, they evolve even more. Their music transcends to higher quality. I feel like they're going back to the roots to taste their essence. I listen to them since Parachutes and have never disappointed me. Love from Argentina!
1:18 Stromae moment 🇫🇷 Paroles/Lyrics: Comme deux gouttes d'eau On se ressemble Comme prov'nant de la même mère Comme deux ruisseaux (you could be me) Qui se rassemblent (I could be you) Pour faire les grandes rivières (And we share the same blood)
Jonny's guitar, Chris' acoustic, femi kuti's saxophone and the whole crew in harmony have made suchhhhhhhhhhh greaaatttt muse, I am addicted since last 2 weeks
What is truly remarkable here is the production and how they captured it so well , with zero faults . As a musician I can appreciate how much planning went into this, how many moving parts ; the sync, the drones , the perfect (studio) balance . Cant deny that these guys have an army working for them. Oh, and its the best song on the album BY FAR.
Dang, this brought tears to my eyes. Absolutely beautiful music. Love every aspect of this song! Can't wait to hear the whole album! Way to go Coldplay!
Honestly I have heard this song pretty much every day for the past couple of weeks and it just keeps getting better, and better and better and better and betttterrrrr........
Okay officially mind blown, too incredible, this is textbook perfect if we are talking about taking music to another level. You guys are doing something beyond just making sounds.
@@jmoralesv03 te ofendiste como si,lo hubiese dicho para ti? Jajaja son preferencias Coldplay ah evolucionado pero esta vez no me llego a gustar fuera de Orphans. Asi que shhh 🐷🐖
Love this so much! I could be you, you could be me, two raindrops in the same sea💚 It does not matter if you are sitting or standing, you always dance with this one!
not freaking out by the fact that Paul is there and that i've missed him so much, THIS SONG AND EVERYTHING ABOUT THIS GIVES ME 20 YEARS MORE OF LIFE I LOVE THE ENERGY THE VIBES THE SONG EVERY SINGLE PERSON IN THERE MAKE MY HEART HAPPY
Stromae and coldplay, this is a historical moment for me
And for meeeee....m
Me too 💗
Same. I love Stromae. ❤
me too :D
Same😍🔥
Coldplay, Stromae and Femi Kuti, three legends in one music. The repeat button is in trouble
Like I’m irritated that comments keep missing out Femi’s name!!!!!! Like WTH????? I’m so confused like wait isn’t this Femi but hardly any mention of him in comment section! Had to ask my bro like am I hearing things ? Isn’t that Fela talking!!!
thank you ¡¡¡
Ada Ukeje yes it’s Fela saying “music is the way forward”!
@@adaukeje4517 it’s envy n jealousy ...
It is surreal!!!
I actually think this sounds better than the studio version. I love the way the saxophone sounds here!
TheMel0mano19 I don’t like how they’re slightly flat

AGREE 100%
The wind instrument sounds worse in this version
👍
One of Coldplay’s greatest songs.
I agrer
100%
Totally agree 👍
This album is so underrated
The most underrated was X&Y and now Everyday Life has taken its place *sigh*

As a Nigerian, I listened to Coldplay while growing up and I'm so happy to see this beautiful collaboration.
Did you notice Femi's son, Ayomide is the band member the camera also focuses on. 3 generations of Kuti's involved on this track.
legend Fela is known all across the world!
i wonder what is that saxophone's range (i mean tenor or alto or whatever)
@@efekaandursun Tenor sax, I believe.
I was wondering who he was. Gorgeous.
If you listen with headphones you can really hear the bassline, it's great.
But of course.
@@問答無用-t2y But of course.
kinda missed stromae...
a lot actually.
they all looked so happy performing, it really nice to see
If you’re listening to this u have elite taste of music congratulations
Absolutely beautiful.
The intro is life.
The guitar is its beginning.
The horn section is its beauty.
The saxophone is its playfulness.
The singing and blending of people is who we all are.
The same fuc*ing blood is our unicity.
The magic of life.

Beautiful comment!
I feel the sax talking to me. LoL I love this instrument, so much! S2
Beautiful
Very smart of you!

That sax solo is LIFE.
This is what music is all about. Collaboration, making the message count and transversing different genres and styles together.
Yes, I love the fusing different genres of music and collaborative music.
🤝 well said
Just so unselfish in thier performance everyone's equal no superstars ❤
Best Coldplay-song ever. This is so refreshing and different.
The Ology totally agree with you
One of the amazing things about Coldplay is that they firmly strive to have every album sound different
This album will go down as their best... it has everything. It brings me back to being in high school, listening to Parachutes. Absolute gem!
@OnThisSideoftheSky agreed. i've gone through it about 5 times as well. really really reminds me of viva la vida, and definitely their best since.
Parachute... memories 😊☺😉
Oh yeah
As a Belgian sivilian, I am very proud of Stromae. He is Belgian too and he is an amazing singer. The best of all, he is singing with Coldplay 👌👍👍👍
thank you for the information ¡¡
Bro, u guys have some treasures there in Belgium, Stromae, Loïc Nottet etc... A big hug from Portugal
I don’t even know stromae....
@@chrisoghenetegamaloney5799that’s just because your not Beguin, I’m British, I do know him and how big he is over there.
The range of emotions they create with each song is limitless.
There can't be a better place on earth than Jordan to play Arabesque!
AMEEN
I would say Palestine 🇵🇸
Palestine would be even better. but this works!
The Best "Actual Coldplay" Song
With a "feat stromae" in the title could have been nice
I'm not sure why they didn't put that in the video titles and the songs itself, they normally do...
It's a surprise
Perhaps they made it like this to surprise us i actually screamed my lungs off that was such a plot twist i looovee ittttt
Then don't forget to add Femi Kuti
@@mosunmolaadeojo9061 I wasn't sure if it was a band or solist coz I don't know them but notice there is no credit at all except for Coldplay
I love how they brought together a bunch of different musicians from various genres and nationalities to create something that has a uniqueness and pure creation feel to it. It's pretty awesome.
We share the same blood.
Actually , this song is the best thing I've heard this year
I totally agree!
It's for his girlfriend Dakota
This is the best thing ive ever heard ever
@@rickypingui3270 this one and Cry cry cry

The Sax and horns incorporates Afrobeats 100% West African (Nigerian). The Sax soloist is Femi Kuti. The son of the great Fela Kuti.
He c used alot of Africans musicians
Thank you sir.
Anyone reading this do yourself a favor and check out Fela Kuti. Straight gangster...
@@bryce9497 yaaaaaassss
Fela's grandson, Ayomide Kuti, (son of Femi Kuti) is also in the video. He is the the band member the camera focuses on in the opening...
One of their best tracks of all times and honestly one of the best this year
My Getaway indeed
Orphans and Everyday Life is great but THIS is even GREATER
Imo orphans > champion > everyday > arabesque
Tough to choose, I love them all
this is my fav song from their record. this one so unique
I totally agree with you, mate
True, I'm not really a fan but this is one of their best songs
Daddy to 😢
Everyone here is on fire, but gotta give props to Guy's bass playing here. It has absolute authority over the rhythm, and really solidifies the place of all the instruments and performers.
As a French speaking Nigerian, this hits historical chords In my soul
Nobody is doing it like these guys.
Beautiful Girl Listen ❤️
Have a nice day 😇
I mean, literally any jazz has more soul than this and that would be standard for jazz.
I suppose we all have our own opinions.. but personally, I'm sure glad nobody else is doing it like these guys.. music has gone downhill enough..
Nice message , Stupid song
@@simran4955 because everyone can have their own opinion, you can "enjoy your thing" on your own", don't blame other people for not being a sheep, my dudette.
As a nigerian my joy is immense watching my favorite band play alongside a nigerian icon... My year is made
The brass harmony in the coda just sounds like the sun blazing through the clouds.
Coldplay collaborated with Le Trio Joubran on this song. Le Trio Joubran is a Palestinian band🇵🇸
This is one of my all time favorite songs from these guys, really wish one day they'll play it at one of their concerts ! Love from Malaysia
Thank you Coldplay for showing the world how beautiful Amman is ♡
PLEASE WHERE EXACTLY IN AMMAN ?
Firebreather! At The Disco It’s in Jordan.
Firebreather! At The Disco Amman Citadel
This sax solo sounds like home even the music as a whole. Coldplay thank you for making the fusion of totally different genre of music happen.
Never thought or imagine this could have. I have been a fan of coldplays music since the first time I heard their music. It feels like heaven to me.
Baba Femi, great solo. Arararara.
It sound like jazz licks in the saxophone
And afrofunk on the other wind instruments.
Is that Femi Kuti?????💜
@@cathy010909 Yes thats the legend himself.
Well, Stromae is happy. I miss his works, but if he feels better living on the underground, I understand.
that's it and it could only be described so beautifully.
Eu nunca vou me conformar :(
did he officially run away to the states to live "undercover"?
He always kept making music or video’s but mostly for others and also has been concentrating on his clothing line. Yesterday it was announced that a new album is coming up, release date tbc.
@@bloodhoug82 read wiki
i'd like to nominate the shot of the sun in the clouds for best moment in a live concert film
The epic chords in the end give me the chills every time. Simply epic

Absolutely!
Lmfao no.

Nothing like this song anywhere. A first and should be followed
I'm Belgian and a huge fan of Coldplay since their beginnings, and seeing them perform with my favorite Belgian artist is amazing. Lots of love to Coldplay and Stromae. Amazing music.
As a Nigerian I'm hype to see Naija musicians get some love from Coldplay!! 🇳🇬🇳🇬🇳🇬
Why, femi is legendary stop been cheap... taaaa
Chris's voice is so real...He don't use Auto Tune...it sounds exactly like studio version...By the way Saxo was lit...🔥🔥
The sax was so lit, it sounded like an old school Dave Matthews Band song
Yes! Even in concerts, his voice is exactly the same.
It’s playback
No it's not, Abdulla.
S H I think it is
coldplay rules 🤟
This is why - to my eyes and ears, anyway - live performance can be so much better than studio albums. That sax solo is sublime.
Is that Stromae?? If it is him, yayyy!! I’m glad he’s singing with my all time fav band!! I’m gonna start saving money for their next concert in LA!!
Yes , it's Stromae :) i'm so happy to see him after a long time.
It's long haired stromae , not regular stromae
Yesss it's Stromae 😁
They aren't gonna tour for environmental reasons.
You have enough time to save money. No tour for a year or two
Coldplay you are wonderful you make me smile even in the darkest of times...
STROMAAAAAAAAAAAAAEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i miss him! :'D

Mike, TheAnimated the guy doing the French part is the one and only.. Stromae!!
He’s literally the best lol
the guy who did the French part... :-S Please, please search for Stromae. You won't regret.
this solo from Ferni Kuti together with the backsound takes you far far away...such a trance. Great for the soul.
This is one of the best performances they have ever done wowwoowwowowo
