2008. When I bought Viva La Vida at Sunrise Records in Conestoga Mall in Waterloo, that initial instrumental track was sooooo uplifting and shimmering! I felt it demanded a full song treatment and wouldn'tcha know, we got the double album version a little later with just that
I agree! We need to hear songs like Moses again but I think by this point they've forgotten how to play that one, haha. Moses was exclusive to the AROBTTH tour back in 2003.
@@deusvmachina Yeah I'd love to hear Moses again. And Ladder to the Sun. I also love it when they reinvent songs, so hopefully they start doing that with popular songs.
Always thought that they should pick 2 or 3 songs that either they've never played live before or haven't performed live for so long in every venue they decide to play. Like say they play in 3 different cities next year and in each one they play 3 songs that are not massive hits like example: City #1: Amsterdam, Prospekts March, Glass of Water City #2: Spies, Talk, Always in my Head City #3: Politik, Trouble, White Shadows. That'd be so awesome in my opinion. And it also would make every colpdlay concert unpredictable, because you won't know what new songs they will be performing
Viva La Vida is Coldplay’s magnum opus, that’s my personal opinion and I don’t think it’s ever gonna change. The album means so much to me, and was my introduction to Coldplay, I liked their singles before but I listened to Viva La Vida from start to finish, it was and still is fantastic.
Shaun Nash i use to love Viva la vida the best but I think parachutes definitely has aged the best (maybe because Viva la vida is overplayed like hell)
I went to the viva la vida tour and it was easily the best concert I have ever been to. I’ve seen them twice but that album was incredible. I’m going to go back and listen to it! So beautiful.
J I'll definitely admit that Viva la vida was just its own thing & that could never be replicated. You typically see an artist have a few songs that could even be put into an older album from a newer one but it's definitely their golden goose on being incredibly unique
that was the album that transform coldplay in a stadium band, incredible record. I saw them in Buenos Aires with that album, i remember everyone wanted to go, the world was talking about that show..., it was full... 70.000
Lovers in Japan with strings is absolutely gorgeous and not something I realized I needed. I'm so glad that they decided to play LiJ again after so long.
Id love a live concert of songs they don't usually play or haven't played in years "amsterdam" "what if" "twisted logic" " life is for living" "gravity". The list could go on and on . An amazing back catalogue from the best band - full of variety and skill. Love Coldplay
Lyrics🎶💫✨ [Verse 1] Lovers keep on the road you're on Runners until the race is run Soldiers, you've got to soldier on Sometimes even the right is wrong [Hook] They are turning my head out To see what I'm all about Keeping my head down To see what it feels like now But I have no doubt One day we're gonna get out [Verse 2] Tonight maybe we're gonna run Dreaming of the Osaka sun Ohhhh ohh, ohh... Dreaming of when the morning comes [Hook] They are turning my head out To see what I'm all about Keeping my head down To see what it feels like now But I have no doubt One day the sun will come out
So cool that they reworked that song, looks like its on the setlist of all the everyday life shows right now. They found the love to play that song again and I love it
Yeah and they used a piano with metallic push pins inserted into the hammers. Hence, the raspy metallic sound! Has Brian Eno experiment written all over it...
Milan Miric stop being a dick , you know what I mean . Nobody is making anyone any less , clearly you haven’t seen any of my other comments in their videos. I’m a Coldplay fan I even have a poster about each one of the boys Individually.
I liked the album version, but there's something here that breathes new life into the song. It has a lot more space here I guess, especially in the treble, and the 2 guitars are really clear together. Love it.
I've waiting for years for a performarce of Lovers of Japan like this. I hoped they played it in the AHFOD tour, but they never played. Viva la Vida whit strings live or unplugged could be amazing. Sorry for my English.
Oh my god, not a single day passes by when I don’t listen to this song. I’ve got all the versions with me, adding this to the list as well. The most beautiful song I’ve ever heard imo.
Holy cannoli, I’m learning about Coldplay, I’m 52 , and I’m happy I did it, they are so talented, each one of them is so specialized in what they do, congratulations to them, for such good music, that is what we really need in this caótico mundo. Kisses to all, ✌️ and love ❤️
Hey man, the chords are: Verse: G - D - C - G Chorus: Em - C - G - D If you have any questions, reach out to me or watch me playing this song on piano. Definitely one of Coldplay's best songs.

I wasnt a fan of Coldplay, at that point a friend made me listen to Yellow, Fix You and The Scientist, while i like those tracks i wasnt a fan, she said that she would try to convince me with 1 more song, that song was Lovers in Japan and i fell in love with Coldplay.
This is such a fantastic version of the song!! Truly amazing to listen to first thing in the morning. I reckon you'll should do a set of shows some day with all the old catalogue with a full arrangement. Way back from The Blue Room. See you soon, don't panic, trouble, spies, shiver, everything's not lost, the whole AROBTHD. The list is endless. We need more wholesome experiences like this!
Lovers keep on the road your on Runners until the race is run Soldiers you've got to soldier on Sometimes even right is wrong They are turning my head out To see what I'm all about Keeping my head down To see what it feels like now But I have no doubt One day, were gonna get out Tonight, maybe we're gonna run Dreamin' of the Osaka sun Ohh, ohh, ohhh Dreamin' of when the morning comes They are turning my head out To see what I'm all about Keeping my head down To see what it feels like now But I have no doubt One day, the sun will come out Reign of love I can't let go To the sea I offer This heavy load Locusts will Lift me up I'm just a prisoner In a reign of love Locusts will Let us stop I wish I'd spoken To the reign of love Reign of love By the church, we?re waiting Reign of love My knees go praying How I wish I'd spoken up Or we'd be carried In the reign of love

I'd love not to hear a Coldplay song played in a third world country for a year....more airplay than the Beatles in a lifetime. And, they're right sloaney the Beatles.... good people, network....etc...
I think the BBC should stop playing Coldplay songs for a year, put themselves in a corner and whip themselves saying - bad Islam... over and over again.
This song, Strawberry Swing and Life in Technicolor ii are the most underrated songs in Viva Album.
Juni Raslin “Strawberry Swing” is truly one of the best songs they’ve ever written.
THANK YOU
Those are my favourites from the album, and maybe from all of their songs. It's simply beautiful, gives me an amazing feeling and will to live

They haven't played this song in a while so I'm very happy they started playing it again
T.O Music I’m just here cuz the guitar looks good, it’s kinda seems quiet
My favourite song
They need to play rare songs more often. They have so many great songs that they could pick their setlist out of a hat and it would always work.

@@LowleyUK OMG yes! Ladder to the sun deserves an official studio version!
one of the best songs from viva la vida. love it!
It brings back so many memories !
Agreed, great song
they need to play "careful where you stand" a very old and unpopular song
Conrado Ev YES I AGREE
ME TOO
Jep

Did they start to play this song again just to show off Will's mandolin skills?
Probably 😂
Totally 👌
ladies and gentleman, the best band in the planet.
i agree with you, but 'in' the planet?
In their style I think yes! But Is only my opinión, always talking about pop music
Tim Jacuzzi your unnecessary negativity is sickening
from the core to the subsurface, radially
Their better than John Leslie are Coldplay.
Lovers in Japan with strings is absolutely gorgeous and not something I realized I needed. I'm so glad that they decided to play LiJ again after so long.
why is the volume of the bbc radio at the beginning and end of the video always so loud....
because of fast editing, using their loud promo video
BBC Radio 1 , for God's sake please remove that annoying intro and outro! It ruins the whole thing. Imagine if someone has put this on loop
Chris sounds much more emotional in this version, absolutely beautiful...
Absolutely
Id love a live concert of songs they don't usually play or haven't played in years "amsterdam" "what if" "twisted logic" " life is for living" "gravity". The list could go on and on . An amazing back catalogue from the best band - full of variety and skill. Love Coldplay
It makes me so happy that they're playing old unpopular songs again ! Stunning
Yeah, hopefully it continues and they finally play Fun live!
@derekbd yeah, it's the most fabtabulous song on the album imo 😄
Lyrics🎶💫✨
[Verse 1]
Lovers keep on the road you're on
Runners until the race is run
Soldiers, you've got to soldier on
Sometimes even the right is wrong
[Hook]
They are turning my head out
To see what I'm all about
Keeping my head down
To see what it feels like now
But I have no doubt
One day we're gonna get out
[Verse 2]
Tonight maybe we're gonna run
Dreaming of the Osaka sun
Ohhhh ohh, ohh...
Dreaming of when the morning comes
[Hook]
They are turning my head out
To see what I'm all about
Keeping my head down
To see what it feels like now
But I have no doubt
One day the sun will come out
This song + orchestra = absolute perfection 😍😍😍
So cool that they reworked that song, looks like its on the setlist of all the everyday life shows right now. They found the love to play that song again and I love it
Criptike they did the same with sparks
This live strings version sounds very pretty but the studio acoustic version of Lovers In Japan will always have a special place in my heart.
It's that piano riff that hooks you in
Yeah and they used a piano with metallic push pins inserted into the hammers. Hence, the raspy metallic sound! Has Brian Eno experiment written all over it...
@@TheNish101 Chris and Jonny actually took the time do this themselves, putting in the tacks. I miss the VLV era so much.
@@deusvmachina yeah me too! Hope they bring back a similar vibe with their remaining albums...
Im crying 🥺🤧it’s been since the boys performed this song , one of my fav
THEY! Stop making Coldplay equal to Chris Martin! They are a fucking band.
Milan Miric stop being a dick , you know what I mean . Nobody is making anyone any less , clearly you haven’t seen any of my other comments in their videos. I’m a Coldplay fan I even have a poster about each one of the boys Individually.
Get over it!
@@kpkp7277 Why did you change the comment then?

Sincerely..
Hope one day I will listen Strawberry swing and Life in technicolor in alternate version same like this song.
Coldplays playing lovers in japan in 2019. Life is good
I've waiting for years for a performarce of Lovers of Japan like this. I hoped they played it in the AHFOD tour, but they never played. Viva la Vida whit strings live or unplugged could be amazing. Sorry for my English.
they played it in manchester in the ahfod tour
Yeah me too !
They also played it in Gelsenkirchen, Germany when I went there in 2016. I was soo happy that they played it.
Will always be one of my very favorites ! Also chris’ falsetto is just 👌
About time Lovers in Japan was shown more love by the band! Amazing song! Their best off Viva! ❤
2:18 till the final is just passion
you get it, man
This is refreshing 💖 hearing it live again after years.. Wish they would play more of their old uncommon songs 🙌
They played it live at Manchester on their last tour
What I’d give to hear Reign Of Love live 😩😩😩🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻
Liverpool67890 i know that feeling
3:15 he hit the god note
Brought me to tears. Viva is their pièce de résistance. Truly their best album.
And all of a sudden tears started streaming down my face at how beautiful this is.
Me too! 😣
Oh my god, not a single day passes by when I don’t listen to this song. I’ve got all the versions with me, adding this to the list as well. The most beautiful song I’ve ever heard imo.
:)
May I ask - What is the meaning ?! I’m not “getting it”… :)
This freaking version is so damn beautiful I might cry

i’m so happy to see them playing smaller songs. ‘lovers in japan’ will always have a special place in my heart.
2:44 - 2:47 awww, sweet moment :)
One day 15 times I'm hearing this song
This might be the best, most well produced piece of music that's not a studio recording I've ever heard
I absolutely LOVE this song, I listened to it on repeat every day in 2009, good memories!!!!!!
Does anyone have the chords that Chris is playing?
Hey man, the chords are:
Verse: G - D - C - G
Chorus: Em - C - G - D
If you have any questions, reach out to me or watch me playing this song on piano.
Definitely one of Coldplay's best songs. Just played a version of Lovers In Japan on piano - would be great to know what you think of it!
th-cam.com/video/9XTWLVaFHyA/w-d-xo.html
If you haven't watched them live you should put it on your bucket list...just incredible performers and musicians!
Underrated song from coldplay! for me personally it's top tier
What is the genre called like this when it mixes modern instruments and pop music with classical instruments??
Viva era was something really special. Including Prospekt’s March
How can they make a song MORE beautiful? Like, HOW?!
One of the most beautiful songs of all time...
This song makes me feel unique feelings...
I just wanna scream from the rooftops since they're back at the forefront again. They make me so happy. 😭
I love this song, but this version is absolutely beautiful.
I wasnt a fan of Coldplay, at that point a friend made me listen to Yellow, Fix You and The Scientist, while i like those tracks i wasnt a fan, she said that she would try to convince me with 1 more song, that song was Lovers in Japan and i fell in love with Coldplay.
My favorite song of all time ❤️ Glad to hear it played live after so long.
this is one of my favourites from the viva la vida album! oops, actually all songs there are my favourite
What are the chords that Chris is playing?
What a perfect version! loved.
Coldplay is "Pica das galáxias"
Bellissima anche così
..e se avessero continuato con Reign of Love avrei pianto ancora di più!!!! LI AMO....STOP😍😍😍😍
Seen this live a few times.....unreal.....what a song and band
I think I understand why they don’t play some songs from viva, but the album especially as a whole is masterful.
Can someone get the tunning and chords From Chris?
This is such a fantastic version of the song!! Truly amazing to listen to first thing in the morning.

Wow, they played it after so long. So underrated!
the question is: someone can reach this guy in the next 20-30 years? I don´t think so... Simply the best...
1:23 my fav part
How about strawberry swing, misters?
I absolutely love the original version of this song, but this is just something else. SO beautiful!
truly romantic is just the strongest Faith.
dang!! I hope they do a 2019 performance of yes if they're playing this song!!!
God it’s so good as an acoustic in a lower octave. Love it.
does anybody knows the tuning chris is using in his guitar and the chords??
Lovers keep on the road your on
Runners until the race is run
Soldiers you've got to soldier on
Sometimes even right is wrong
They are turning my head out
To see what I'm all about
Keeping my head down
To see what it feels like now
But I have no doubt
One day, were gonna get out
Tonight, maybe we're gonna run
Dreamin' of the Osaka sun
Ohh, ohh, ohhh
Dreamin' of when the morning comes
They are turning my head out
To see what I'm all about
Keeping my head down
To see what it feels like now
But I have no doubt
One day, the sun will come out
Reign of love
I can't let go
To the sea I offer
This heavy load
Locusts will
Lift me up
I'm just a prisoner
In a reign of love
Locusts will
Let us stop
I wish I'd spoken
To the reign of love
Reign of love
By the church, we?re waiting
Reign of love
My knees go praying
How I wish
I'd spoken up
Or we'd be carried
In the reign of love
This is one of the best songs of Coldplay
this performance is missing the drums, big time
Nop, guy’s bass is making the tempo
Que lindo, que presente aos fãs
I prefer not commercial songs like that one, because with time comercial songs get boring
Favorite song from my favorite album... oh to be a kid again back in 2008/09.
complicated when song just had started
Anyone else keep coming back to this performance because this version of the song is incredibly beautiful and relaxing?
Qué bonito, voy a llorar amo esta canción 😔💓
Love Chris voice here!
Here's one lover in Japan:)
Jonny rocking the 12 string 😎
OMG! This is SO BEAUTIFUL!! It made me cry! I LOVE this arrangement!
y love christ martin 😘😘😘😘😘
La mina del final arruina el video

This is nearly perfect. I would have died of joy if they started "Reign of Love" at the end.
Wish that the government would give method actors a break - maybe live in India with Hep B... paid for by their parents.
What an awesome version of this song.
This is pure art
Does someone have the tabs for Chris' part please I need this

Really love this song but the original tone is better for me
I like the lower key, suits his voice better 👌🏻
