Coldplay has been my favorite band forever and I've recently been listening to the Graceland album to help get through things so I'm extremely grateful for this cover. Much love ❤️
At first I was thinking .... "what?" but then I realised this will offer a new generation to listen to Paul Simons Gem of an album and that can't be a bad thing.
Wow just fantastic. I got here because the TH-cam algorithm apparently found out Graceland is one of my favorite songs of all time, so now seems to want me to listen to every single cover of the song currently on TH-cam. There must be, what, around 12,000 of them? (jk). Lol. I've watched/listened to 4 including this one. 11,996 to go. Lol Anyway, I see that I'm six years late to the party. I hope you're still performing this one! I especially love the backup vocals in this one. You guys were just wonderful, worthy of comparison to Phil & Don Everly. I'm not sure if I've heard of Chris Martin before, but his lead vocal is impeccable. And the arrangement is brilliant. Thank you and congratulations guys, it's a first rate and fun cover!
@coldplaymay I thought he looked vaguely familiar. Lol . .. well it _was_ about 3am and I had just watched/listened to 3 other Graceland covers done by previously unknown youtube artists, so I was in that mode. That's my excuse and I'm sticking to it! Jeez next I'll compliment someone on their Elvis cover and be told "Dude. That _is_ Elvis! U alright?" Lol
Graceland is a sweetie...that is why you would be received in Graceland...delta..sweetness...they have taken the lies and slams of the media...but Graceland is a sweetness not found many places
2:04 i'm like that guy who really likes that one song that comes on in a bar, all your friends know the words and you try to sing along but you don't really know the lyrics too well
As a Coldplay fan, this makes me smile. As a person who lives in Memphis, this makes me grin. When I'm both, I get happy. Then I realize Jake Paul is still alive, then I get depressed.
As a huge Coldplay fan from Memphis Tennessee who recently traveled to Omaha NE in order to see the boys in concert, this was wonderful to watch, although it would be great to have them come here to the Bluff City for a show the next time around...Chris had some poignant Omaha-specific references during the show there (think Counting Crows), but I think the opportunities would be FAR greater here in the cradle of Rock and Roll.
The Mississippi Delta was shining like a National guitar I am following the river Down the highway Through the cradle of the civil war I'm going to Graceland, Graceland Memphis, Tennessee I'm going to Graceland Poor boys and pilgrims with families And we are going to Graceland My traveling companion is nine years old He is the child of my first marriage But I've reason to believe We both will be received In Graceland She comes back to tell me she's gone As if I didn't know that As if I didn't know my own bed As if I'd never noticed The way she brushed her hair from her forehead And she said, "losing love Is like a window in your heart Everybody sees you're blown apart Everybody sees the wind blow" I'm going to Graceland Memphis, Tennessee I'm going to Graceland Poor boys and pilgrims with families And we are going to Graceland And my traveling companions Are ghosts and empty sockets I'm looking at ghosts and empties But I've reason to believe We all will be received In Graceland There is a girl in New York City Who calls herself the human trampoline And sometimes when I'm falling, flying Or tumbling in turmoil I say "Whoa, so this is what she means" She means we're bouncing into Graceland And I see losing love Is like a window in your heart Well, everybody sees you're blown apart Everybody sees the wind blow Ooh, ooh, ooh In Graceland, in Graceland I'm going to Graceland For reasons I cannot explain There's some part of me wants to see Graceland And I may be obliged to defend Every love, every ending Or maybe there's no obligations now Maybe I've a reason to believe We all will be received In Graceland Whoa, oh, oh In Graceland, in Graceland, in Graceland I'm going to Graceland
I'm sitting here with a huge smile on my face! My idol Chris Martin covering another hero of mine Paul Simon! Just what I needed today!
he absolutely nails the vocals at the beginning
he really does... great cover, they somehow augmented it while maintaining that paul simon root sound
wow what a beautiful version... I keep coming back to this every so often
He can sing almost every song so well ! He nails it damn! He is just so perfect in every way
One of the best covers I've ever heard in the Live Lounge 👍🏼
What an AWESOME song to be traveling down the road to! Thank you Chris Martin for this version . . . I'm still tappin' my feet!!
Graceland is and always be in my top 10 fav LPs of all time. Game changer. Great Job Mr Martin 🙏🏻
Brilliant song and a great version. Well done Chris, great backing singers and band too. More please!
Not easy to do Paul Simon justice but he smashed it🎉
As a Coldplay fan, this makes me smile! :)
I don't care.... please just stop ! Everybody stop !

Thanks for covering Paul Simon, Chris. Great version!!!!
It's a great song that changed Simon's life. It's amazing that Chris sang it. I love this version because I'm a big fan of Paul Simon and Coldplay.💙💙
This song makes my heart happy. Thank you for this gift, Chris. (And Paul.)
Omg YES! Love Paul and love Chris
Crish martin voice very perfect for country music like him song til kingdom come
So suits Coldplay, the vibe the happiness is just brilliant ❤️
Gorgeous singing from Chris and a brilliant performance from all involved
You can really see that Chris just loved this 😍 and he nailed it ❤ bth, I'm totally that girl in the choir that looks smitten by him 😜😉
Alberte Karlsen They all nailed it! Great musicians and singers... and I am smitten with the girl in the Choir who is smitten with Martin haha
Addition of the gospel style backing vocals is a stroke of genius
saw Coldplay in July, and this cover is amazing!! Paul isn't easy to cover and Chris nailed it.
Such a talented man
One musical icon celebrating another. Both of them are in my opinion among the greatest songwriters in modern times.
not to mention elvis presley being celebrated by the song
Song: AMAZINGLY DONE. Tall Lady : STUNNING.
Beautiful cover!
Amazing version
Great performance of an awesome classic!
i love this song, i love colplay, i love chris :) this cover is great ❤️

Those Muscle Shoals inspired horns are great.
At first I was thinking .... "what?" but then I realised this will offer a new generation to listen to Paul Simons Gem of an album and that can't be a bad thing.
howieboss Honestly, chris is great...johnny cash liked him and was due to record with him before he died
I honestly believe that Chris Martin is the first person to get this right!
Pure class!!
Brilliant
Wow! Beautiful!!

Chris is the lead singer of Coldplay! This is a gem.

just awesome 👍
Beautiful. 💗
Love this but of course I hope people now go to watch the original... Paul Simon is a gift.
Jen Dvorak I watched that first and am now going back to listen to it again
I love (Jesus) Chris Martin. And I'm still trying to understand that I saw him singing live almost a week ago.
I knew by listening to Coldplay that chris martin was hugely inspired by Paul simon!
This is just brilliant.
Love it !
Fantastic Paul Simon eat your heart out 😂😂😂❤️💯
I heard Martin's cover on WREK GA Tech, and I started singing it like 🌟ELVIS🌟 *That* would have been a great cover!
love this
Beautiful
Listen to the tallest man on earth's version of Graceland
Chris Martin is 6’ 1”
Paul Charles The Tallest Man On Earth is another artist
Essa voz!
Perfeito
😍
That was really great
Absolutely tremendous
Fantastic!
Amazing
Amazing!!!
Underrated cover
The girl on the far left has such a crush on Chris
Honestly, who doesn't?
wow....amazing
It is missing Bakithi Kumalo's bass line. Sounds empty without that driving fretless bass
rallyeluke I agree 100%
So true, but its still good!
I was just about to comment in that direktion
Damnn the main backsinger is gorgeous!!
Marcelo Mendonça you eyeing up my bird man :-) ,in a pervy way or like a Gentleman :-)
Coldplay fab do more covers
hey its the choir group in the everyday life album!
Surprisingly good.
man im not a really a chris martin typa guy but like graceland is an amazing song and this version doesnt annoy me or anything
love graceland
Legend
Why does he have the greatest singing voice of the modern age.
I mean... one of them. Coldplay will always have my heart, but man, Eddie Vedder's voice.
Awesome
They did a brilliant version of the song... loved it!!! ... but then I must also add I'm not a Paul Simon fan (I was more an Art Garfunkel fan)
Graceland is a sweetie...that is why you would be received in Graceland...delta..sweetness...they have taken the lies and slams of the media...but Graceland is a sweetness not found many places

Great cover.
LOL at 2:07 when guy almost messes up. Priceless reaction
Damn good one!!!
He sweats even just standing there and not moving much lol
Well done!
The Mississippi Delta
was shining like a National guitar
I am following the river
Down the highway
Through the cradle of the civil war
I'm going to Graceland, Graceland
Memphis, Tennessee
I'm going to Graceland
Poor boys and pilgrims with families
And we are going to Graceland
My traveling companion is nine years old
He is the child of my first marriage
But I've reason to believe
We both will be received
In Graceland
She comes back to tell me she's gone
As if I didn't know that
As if I didn't know my own bed
As if I'd never noticed
The way she brushed her hair from her forehead
And she said, "losing love
Is like a window in your heart
Everybody sees you're blown apart
Everybody sees the wind blow"
I'm going to Graceland
Memphis, Tennessee
I'm going to Graceland
Poor boys and pilgrims with families
And we are going to Graceland
And my traveling companions
Are ghosts and empty sockets
I'm looking at ghosts and empties
But I've reason to believe
We all will be received
In Graceland
There is a girl in New York City
Who calls herself the human trampoline
And sometimes when I'm falling, flying
Or tumbling in turmoil I say
"Whoa, so this is what she means"
She means we're bouncing into Graceland
And I see losing love
Is like a window in your heart
Well, everybody sees you're blown apart
Everybody sees the wind blow
Ooh, ooh, ooh
In Graceland, in Graceland
I'm going to Graceland
For reasons I cannot explain
There's some part of me wants to see
Graceland
And I may be obliged to defend
Every love, every ending
Or maybe there's no obligations now
Maybe I've a reason to believe
We all will be received
In Graceland
Whoa, oh, oh
In Graceland, in Graceland, in Graceland
I'm going to Graceland
ARMS
I love Birdy's songs and And I think this performer looks something like that
Sweet Jazz goes well with him. :-)
Lindo demais!!!!!
