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!

the first video is my favorite.
OMGGGGG!!!! I love the 1st videooooo……ahhhhh!!!! It’s sooo cool how it was made.. love them and loveeee the songggggg :)))
Coldplay’s clip are too centered on chris martin to be good..
I love the song. The first video is a little better. It is more hip. Christ Martin is a good and talented guy. Gwyneth and Christ make a good couple. They are peaceful people and not crazed for media frenziness.
LOVE the second video

i love them
I may be in the minority here, but as far as this album goes… I liked the Violet Hill video better… but the vids are still pretty good…
the second one was more interesting. they should have invested more time in that one rather than making two.
LOOOOVE THE VIDEO AND LOVE THE SONG!
what on earth??!!
the second one is recorded in my hometown of The Hague!!!
so, of course i’m gonna say the second one. and i like the plotline better as opposed to the ‘just pretty clouds filmed in front of a green screen’ of the first one.
i was kinda over coldplay with their last not so impressive couple of albums, but this make my chauvanistic heart really love ‘em again. kudo’s to anton corbijn, ‘talk’ was also one of my fave video’s of them.
they must have filmed in miniaturetown ‘madurodam’ with the tiny houses and it was even during the european football cup with all the orange flags around town! so fun to see. they even made the dunes (my fave place to be around here) a filminglocation..le sigh!
how i wish i knew they would film here and i would have taken a look.
Love the song but hate the videos. I think the Itunes commercial is the best video. I’m surprised that wasn’t an official video. Also Vida La Viva has been out for several months.
gotit: “here today, forgotten tomorrow”
umm, ‘parachutes’ was released in 2000 so that’s 8 years they’ve been massive. 4 #1 albums. I think they’ll stick around…
also I’ve gotto say - LOVE the new album. I honestly thought the last one was a little… bland. but ‘viva la vida’ is amazing, from the first track to the last.
Loved both videos…one things for sure these guys sure have talent…. absolutely love them!
Loved both =) Though the second one brings out the message clearer than the first.
I’m not a big fan of COLDPLAY but I love this song, it’s beautiful.
It’s kinda nostalgic (I don’t know if “nostalgic” exists or not in english language, I’m french.) Anyway, it moves me. It does.
The first vid is the better one. The second vid is boring.
The second clip was shot in my hometown in Holland. I actually liked the fact that they made a tribute to Depeche Mode as I like their music. And seeing these familiar shots of my city with the beach, that just makes me smile.
I always like their singles, never one of their songs have I disliked. I love this song of theirs, though. By far it beats the rest :]
I like the second one better :)
I like both videos, Coldplay is so freakin’ awesome.
And yes, Chris Martin is very hot…=D
I love this song, I am gonna buy that CD 4 sure…..awesome!!!
coldplay is not an original band or sound…this last album was produced by U2’s producers, and chris himself has admitted to ripping off songs.
overrated. and this song is old already and overplayed.
i’m not a coldplay fan at all, but Chris Martin is my type.
awesome!
I loved both! Can’t belive I’m going to se them september 18 :D
DEPECHE MODE FOREVER!!!
Good on Coldplay for making an ode to DM……which by the way, Depeche Mode is one of the greatest bands of the last 30 years!!!!!!!
Like them both but love the 2nd one. Great song - amazing played live. Saw them recently and they are so brilliant live. Would recommend their show to anyone - even if you’re not a massive fan. You’d have to be a totally miserable sod not to enjoy yourself.
