This live version just gives me chills everytime because the meaning of the song in of it self is powerful but then you mix it with a traumatic event and the song carry’s a whole other meaning
Because he really feels it. He's passionate when doing things. As a musician, this is for me what pure sounds and art represent. Things must be done with powerful love, sincerity and humility. If not, why doing them? Not only Coldplay members do that, there are more people, but God... Chris Martin is simply unique... He truly does things being authentic. Just being HIM.
My dad left this world in the middle of the night in October of 2016, I was 24 at the time. He was one of the liveliest people you would ever meet and by far the greatest man I ever knew. He was my rock, he was always present and there for me (especially when my mom was out of the picture in my adolesnce) and I attribute so much of the man I have become now to his wisdom, strength, kindness, and deceny. I remember waking up that day just feeling empty, knowing that every day in my life would be defined as everything before and after that moment... There was this little park behind my high school that had a small lake and a dock that I would always go to growing up that was a place of refuge for me, where I would go to be alone and to find peace. I went to that dock that night at sunset listening to this song, and looked at the sky, and the massive storm clouds opened up across the sky as the sun pierced through them and intensly lit up the sky, as if the heavens themselves were opening up to tell me that they received my father, and he made it to his eternal home. Every time I hear this song, it brings me back to that exact moment in time
I have had the honor of seeing both Paul McCartney and Coldplay in concerts. I've got to say that while "Hey Jude" pulls a big unity, Coldplay's whole concerts (I've been to two thus far) have such a unifying vibe about them. They use their synchronizing wristbands that make you feel as though every person there is a vital part of the show. It's absolutely magical to see the lights and just the heart that goes into every concert with those guys. Paul McCartney is a legend, but Coldplay's concerts are so much more inspiring to go to than anyone else I've ever seen.
(Thank you everybody) [Intro] I'll sing myself to sleep A song from the darkest hour Secrets I can't keep Inside of the day So sit down Oh sit down, oh sit down Sit down next to me Sit down, down, down, down, down In sympathy Oh sit down, oh sit down, oh sit down Sit down next to me Sit down, down, down, down, down When you try your best but you don't succeed When you get what you want but not what you need When you feel so tired but you can't sleep Stuck in reverse When the tears come streaming down your face When you lose something you can't replace When you love someone but it goes to waste Could it be worse? Lights will guide you home And ignite your bones And I will try to fix you And high up above or down below When you're too in love to let it show But if you never try you'll never know Just what you're worth Lights will guide you home And ignite your bones And I will try to fix you Tears stream down your face When you lose something you cannot replace Tears stream down your face And I... Tears stream down your face I promise you I will learn from my mistakes Tears stream down your face And I...
In the original recording, Chris Martin sounds as if he is singing to one individual person like you or me. Here though, it seems as if he is wishing to fix the entire world; as if he knows how filled with sickness, anger, and darkness it is. Yet he loves all the mistakes and with the help of all of the people singing with him in the audience and the thousands who watch this video at home, he will try to fix it. I absolutely love this performance!
Hannah Clemenson it sounds like he's so trying to connect and be at one with everyone in the audience. He wasn't just singing he was connecting. I can't explain it properly what I mean lol
Coldplay just performed the most appropriated song for the concert with Don't Look Back In Anger. They've sent a real support message to Manchester Attack's victims trough this fabulous song. Good job Chris.
Goto Hellm8 another song that I found appropriate for the moment was Don't Dream It's Over. But all of the songs in the show, being cheerful or not, had the purpose of uniting the crowd, so as all of the world, against the horror that it's happening nowadays. Cause that's the purpose of music, after all ❤
To be fair, Don't Look Back In Anger definitely was "appropriated" for the message of the concert. Aside from the title, the actual lyrics have absolutely nothing whatsoever to do with unity, solidarity or love trumping hate.
When I sing along to the chorus I hope it will eventually bring my oldest son home. He's 21 and I haven't seen him in a long time. I hope one day I will get the chance to help fix him 💔
Well, personally i can't even count how many time i've watched this astonishing performance but the only thing i know is that i always smile and emotional at the exact same time while watching this .
I came here after watching BTS on Mtv unplugged. Their cover of "Fix You" is amazing , they've definitely given justice to the song & added they're own personal touch. Thanks Cold play for appreciating our boys and for allowing them to cover your song. Also this is definitely one of my fav cold play songs. For non-fans give it a try and listen to BTS they have so many good songs with beautiful messages. Thank you.
I don't want to sound like a dick here but....just to see what all the fuss is all about me and my mates read their lyrics and it's not as great as people make it out to be. Like it's good if you're maybe a teenager who's crush turned you down. But not as sophisticated as people say.
@@muizzkazi5432 @mouuzse You clearly haven't listened to their music properly All these stereotypes about only teens are supporting them and besides what's wrong if you're a teenager supporting a group that you like? Even The Beatles had teens screaming for them. You'd be surprised to know a lot of BTS fans inc myself are actually in this age group late 20's to early 30's. A group who had supported a lot of charities promotes self love, anti bullying and a whole lot of positive causes. I suggest to watch this vid a bit of introduction to them if you don't want its okay. Thank you. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-3cESARetI9U.html
This is why I love coldplay,,they do not sing about drugs,sex,money,,they sing about love and togetherness.If you go to their concert you will truly feel the togetherness.Chris is so humble especially as the frontman,and of course he is talented.Guy is quiet,but when he gets that bass magic happens.Jonny and the guitar=no words needed you already know.And of course the legend Will Champion,,,not only is he one of the lead backup vocalists,this guy is a drummer, a legend.Anyone who likes coldplay knows do not mess with Will.Anyways i just love coldplay and how they stand for togethereness and love.
There should be a One Love Movement. Many concerts around the world to raise money for people in need and to unite people and remind them of the power of love. In these times of darkness this is what we need. Who agrees?
I love how all the colors of confetti came out separately, but they all merged together. It's like people. No matter where we came from, what we look like, what we believe in, or who we love, we are all one. One Love.
I went to one about a year ago, it was simply amazing. It's definitely something you'll never forget. The passion, the love, and the energy could bring tears to ones eyes.
R.I.P. MANCHESTER ANGELS SLEEP TIGHT PARTY HARD WE ALL KNOW YOUR LOOKING DOWN ON US SMILING.......YOUR FRIENDS FAMILY AND EVERYONE WHO KNOWS YOU MISS AND LOVE YOU SO MUCH......YOUR ALWAYS BE IN THOUGHTS AND HEARTS FOREVER XXXX
Isn't it crazy what music does to people? Music unites us, makes us cry, makes us smile, makes us light up inside, gives us goosebumps and that's what makes it so incredible. Also, look closely at Coldplay's song choices. First, they played Don't Look Back In Anger, because you can't keep reliving the past and let hate win, you can only fight hate with love. After that, they played Fix You, because we will be fixed. The peace can be restored as long as we will fight for it and try to fix each other. Lastly, they played Viva La Vida as a tribute to life. Live your life while you can because it is beautiful and full of chances! As Chris would say, lights will guide you home and ignite your bones, and love will fix you. Manchester and this world will be ok, because love will win.
Jade I already was crying, but your comment made me cry even more. It's so true. I love music for this. Music is an universal thing and I love it. The whole world can sing along to an song, cry and love together.
Hey you. Scrolling down while hearing the song . Know my friend that all will be ok. And you are so valuable. Whatever this moment is, it will pass. Love you
@@jynxcrude2879 I suppose the first step was always to come out in a forum where people don't know you, just so you could get to experience how it felt to come out of the closet. Do your parents know yet?
many other bands can do this too the moment they used theirs heart to perform pretty much all the artists at the concert brought the crowd together as one
I so agree, the aerial shots showing the whole crowd are so moving and resonant. They also get great up-close shots of the audience, mirroring the emotions of what people feel like watching on You Tube. BBC deserves some kind of major award for this
it's because it is usually set up to record the cricket so you have aerial and side views of everything. Best place in Manchester for the concert to be apart from at the actual MEN
No, it was for Gwyneth. Chris has mentioned in several interviews that he wrote it for Gwyneth after Bruce (her father) passed away. He wanted to try and fix her as best as he could. "Blythe Danner, the mother of Gwyneth Paltrow and former mother-in-law of Chris Martin, stated in an interview in May 2012 that Martin 'wrote the song for Gwyneth when her father died and I weep every time I hear it'."
A Live performance becomes 100% perfect when it isn't 100% perfect. ❤️ This is how a live performance should be, not with auto tune or lip sync. One of the best bands ever in the world.❤️ Band that won't be forgotten till doomsday ❤️ Love From India ❤️
This is what celebrities have the power to do. It was beautiful and I hope to see more of them acting like this because they really can bring us together.
Patinho No, I do think it made a difference. It made people feel strong. It made people unite. It made every person there merge into a single heartbeat. Maybe it didn't stop terrorists from killing people, no, but it mended broken hearts and broken people and that does make a difference.
I was a single pregnant mom 15 years ago. When my son was born, I remember sitting in the nursery, and this song came on. I sobbed while holding him and singing this to him. The very first song he heard.....
I have had the joy and absolute pleasure of taking my friend I have known since we were 8yrs old to see Coldplay at the BOKinTulsa, OK and it was the best time we've had in our friendship! I will never forget and will always appreciate the love❤ Coldplay! His ability to bring such joy and comfort to the world will live on today, tomorrow and though out our lives... Thank you Chris Martin!
As a lifelong Coldplay fan, i can accept that some people will not like their style of music. But you can NEVER find fault with the message of love and hope that their music brings 🙂…A Sky Full Of Stars at the River Plate just cannot be beaten.
"Tears stream down your face when you lose something you cannot replace. Tears stream down your face and WE will try to fix you." Alone we are strong together we are stronger!🌎🌟💕
Religion didn't start it.People without love and compassion in their hearts started it. Whatever religion you have (or not),you should respect other people no matter what.So don't tell me this is about religion,because this is about empty minds! (sorry for my bad English)
2020 and I’d still choose this as one of their best and most powerful live version of this song. Still gives me goosebumps and it still makes me cry. My dream is to see them in person. 💖
Agreed, been to their concert last year. I was 19 at the time and went with my father who's 46. Around us the same, 12 year olds singing their hits with 30 to 40 to 50 year olds and it was awesome.
You know, Coldplay gets a lot of shit for no reason because they honestly make the most beautiful, most humble and most relatable masterpieces and I don't want to hear anyone argue with me on that. Just watch this fucking performance, it's breathtaking
I totally agree with both of you, and I'm a huge fan of Coldplay. But I think that Coldplay just started (after Mylo Xyloto) to write not that much emotive songs. Btw I'm so happy that they just grew up as musicians
Salman Vayani while I really love coldplay YOU shouldn't have to bash another artist to say how cool they are. work isn't a bad song either, I like how rihanna incorporated like caribbean way of talking into it(I would call it patois but I thunk that's just jamaica??? I'm not sure)
Chris kneeling down while singing Fix You with the crowd singing along and the huge "One Love Manchester" screen behind is one of the most beautiful thing on earth. Thank you, Coldplay.
jider me too this is the only song I know about them that I always listened when I was down as it gave me hope to move on never was a fan of music but this song was an exception
This song really hits deep, it is so good, lyrically and also melodic wise. Coldplay, you've one-upped yourself with this one. If you come to my country, I will go.
This song is everything to me. Every sad moment.. happy moment.. Forever cherish the moment that coldplay took part in this concert. A Massive support to Ariana fair play!
