Coldplay - “Viva La Vida” Music Video
Chris Martin and his band Coldplay released not one, but two (!!) music videos for their new single, “Viva la Vida”, off their latest album of the same name.
One is a video directed by Hype Williams, whose work you may recognize from Dr. Dre’s “California Love”. The other is a video cover version that the band themselves “made out of love for Depeche Mode and the genius of Anton Corbija.”
Whether you like one music vid over the other–one thing’s for sure–”Viva la Vida” is one strongest tracks the band has ever produced. Check out both music videos below!

I am not a big fan of Coldplay but I happen to LOVE that song…
sweet :)
I LOVE THIS SONG!!
I LOVE IT I LOVE IT I LOVE IT!!!!
I listen to it whenever I am having a crappy day, it manages to cheer me up.
Sappy, self-absorbed, overproduced schlock, here today, forgotten tomorrow. For comfortable yups who think Dave Mathews is too edgy…
Thanks Jared! I love this song so much, the lyrics are amazing. This album’s made me a fan again even though there are other bands that have released better albums.
I like the band’s version of the video better. I like that it’s more literal to the lyrics.
I like the second one
FROM SPAIN!!!!
like this song…
where are the pics of madonna looking decent at the traverse city film festival.
seems everyone wants to run bad pics these days………
Coldplay = overrated!
hmm pretty good.. and it’s not Anton Corbija.. it’s Anton Corbijn by the way, and his work is brilliant.. =)
funny, I live in Belgium, but the radio already plays this song since a couple of weeks:) but really I LOVE, ADORE this song! I’ve always been a fan of Coldplay but now this song is one of their greatest! together with clocks , it’s my fave song of them! way to go!!!!
what gwyneth paltrow sees in him i will never understand
I like the hype williams one much better… it is visually stunning. Though the second one is more in line with the lyrics. I wish they could have merged the two ideas for one really great music video.
I find Coldplay to have a very bland Brit-pop sound, but I LOVE LOVE their trubute video to Depeche Mode. (It’s the second video down) If anyone wants to hear what REAL kings of British music of the last 20 years sound like, go on Youtube & type in Depeche Mode. Martin Gore as lyricist & Dave Gahan as his vocalist produce a powerful sound.
PS. If you want to see the what Coldplay based their trubute on, look for “Enjoy the Silence” original video. Anton Corbijn based the theme on The Little Prince book. Check it out, it’s really cute with a bit of that DM edge ;)
She doesn’t have to see anything in him, maybe love is enough, why don’t you understand that? And I find him really handsome. His kids look a lot like him.
Love this song and love those clips!
The first clip is so good and Chris Martin is so sexy!!
The second clip is good but I Really love the first one
YAY
The second one rocks
The first one was all awkward and weird, in all sorts of place. I know the first one was suppose to evoke emotion of some sort but it just leaves u feeling uneasy watching it…nothing about it was artistic
The second one comes across more as them then the first one.
depeche mode rules !
I was never a fan, until I heard their latest album.
I love them now.
This is a great song
and I like both videos.

Chris looks like the burger king :P Love Coldplay! Awesome videos! :D
The song is good but he’s beginning to repeat himself. Especially the first video.
Isn’t this f****** old?
Great song.
I like the second video. It could almost be a Spike Jonze video!
Love this song, like the second vid best.
