Coldplay - "Viva La Vida" Music Video

Coldplay -

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!

WHAT DO YOU THINK of Coldplay’s latest music videos for “Viva La Vida” — YAY or NAY?

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 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.

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.
