Always amazed at how the music gets exponentially better on Stern with each passing year. Its almost 100 percent better versions of anything prior performed by the respective artists.
So true.... Try to sing the "Will-part" in this guitar version once ( I myself regularly fail on it... ) and you'll know what a great musician Chris Martin is.

He is a genius. Such creativity in writing those words. I have a little of the automatic writing ability that someone like Chris has to the extreme.

Masterpiece is a masterpiece, either by an acoustic guitar or by a full band. And Chris Martin is one of the best frontman in the world today.
💯 The current world tour is absolutely unmatched .

"Now the old king is dead! Long live the king!"
One minute I held the key
Next the walls were closed on me
And I discovered that my castles stand
Upon pillars of salt and pillars of sand
I hear Jerusalem bells a ringing
Roman Cavalry choirs are singing
Be my mirror, my sword and shield
My missionaries in a foreign field
For some reason I can't explain
Once you go there was never
Never an honest word
And that was when I ruled the world
It was the wicked and wild wind
Blew down the doors to let me in
Shattered windows and the sound of drums
People couldn't believe what I'd become
Revolutionaries wait
For my head on a silver plate
Just a puppet on a lonely string
Oh who would ever want to be king?
I hear Jerusalem bells a ringing
Roman Cavalry choirs are singing
Be my mirror, my sword and shield
My missionaries in a foreign field
For some reason I can't explain
I know Saint Peter won't call my name
Never an honest word
But that was when I ruled the world
I hear Jerusalem bells a ringing
Roman Cavalry choirs are singing
Be my mirror, my sword and shield
My missionaries in a foreign field
For some reason I can't explain
I know Saint Peter won't call my name
Never an honest word
But that was when I ruled the world
When i first heard this song as a teen i liked it a lot. Now im in my late 20's and experienced a ton of hardships, the song suddenly gave a deeper meaning to me.
I cannot express the amount of talent and creativity a person needs to write a song like this one
Always find myself comming back to this cover!!!
I absolutely love Chris Martin's energy and positivity - seems like such a great guy.
holy shit I love the way he sings 'just a puppet on a lonely string' in this version
Uk talent and answer to the king - a great song - loved by millions - a humble likeable guy- Long live Coldplay ❤️❤️🇬🇧👍🙏🏻
This song touches me as no other of his. Just pure gold.
You can tell Howard is genuinely in awe of Chris Martin and his songs. It’s great to see.
So talented. Chris you have such a wonderful voice. I bet music just finds you that is why you have your book. Thank you
He is always so excited singing his own soon
That's makes me love him even more...
Chris Martin the best
Howard really seems to enjoy Chris’s band, music and even company
That was excellent. Coldplay sort of passed me by, but must go and listen to more of their stuff...and what a nice bloke!
That was so rad. I'm glad Howard got him to play the whole thing on his acoustic. I've never seen/ heard Chris play that song like that by himself on guitar. That dude is so INSANELY talented. Everyone in Coldplay is. -
