my new song ‘drunk text’ has just come out!! listen here- henrymoodie.lnk.to/drunktext

Viva La Vida was always sad for me, honestly the only emotion I feel on this cover is sadness while the official cover has the feeling of sadness, honor, bittersweet taste, nostalgia, and regrets

THIS is exactly how this song always felt to me. I think the sad version matches the lyrics perfectly, it is meant to be that way as far as I'm concerned. I even prefer this over the original tbh

wow i love this cover but the irony is that the original song always sounded so sad to me that i can't really find much of the difference of this cover and the original in terms of the sadness it brings me (let aside the other feelings). They're just both sad. The original has a more overwhelming sense of emotions, though i like the calming sadness of this version too.

going back here coz' this is the closest vibe of the Pachinko S2 trailer's OST by Rose'

There is a special and unique word in portuguese called "saudade", which no other language has. Saudade is the word we use to refer to the feeling of missing something or someone (ex: i am with saudades of you). The violin of the original song by Coldplay is just impecable at manifesting what saudade feels like. The drums when he talks about Jerusalem's bells perfectly summons a rising kingdom, the citizens in joy, the soldiers won the battle, the bard conquered his loved one, everything is beautiful the harmony is impecable. This guy's version is very good but the original version is simply an unmatched, unique and perfect masterpiece.

thank u for watching guys!!

"Just a puppet on a lonely string " That line hit my heart

I honestly wish this was on spotify! The song has always had more of a sad feel for me, and this just feels right.

Viva la Vida IS sad, I used to listen to it when I felt depressed But this version is very pretty, loved it!

As a french, this song hits so much. It talks about French Revolution and the day when the french killed Louis XVI (revolutionaries wait for my head on a silver plate) in 1793. Before his execution, he wanted to give a speech but they didn't let him and he died without having the possibility to say the last few words to the French audience. That's kinda sad when you think of it. And some of the references in the original song are really related to him : "I held the key" = this phrase has of course a metaphorical meaning but also referred to Louis' passion: locksmithing. That's funny because before I never really paid intention to the lyrics but now it seems so clear to me

한글 자막 ver. I used to rule the world [난 세상을 지배했었지] Seas would rise when I gave the word [내가 명령하면 바다까지 솟아 올랐어] Now in the morning I sleep alone [하지만 이제 아침에 난 홀로 잠들고] Sweep the streets I used to own [과거 내 것이였던 거리를 날려 보냈지] I used to roll the dice [난 주사위를 굴리곤 했어] Feel the fear in my enemy's eyes [적의 눈에 생긴 두려움을 즐겼지] Listen as the crowd would sing [군중들이 노래하는듯한 환청이 들려와] Now the old king is dead, Long live the king [이제 늙은 왕은 죽었어, 왕이시여 만수무강하소서] One minute I held the key [한순간 내가 열쇠를 쥐고 있었지만] Next the walls were closed on me [그 순간 벽들이 나를 가로막았고] And I discovered that my castles stand [그때 나는 내 성이 무엇으로 지어졌는지 깨달았지] Upon pillars of salt and pillars of sand [내 성은 소금과 모래로 만든 기둥일 뿐인것을] I hear Jerusalem bells are ringing [난 예루살렘의 종이 울리는 것을 들었고] Roman Cavalry choirs are singing [로마 기병대의 합창대가 노래했지] Be my mirror my sword and shield [나의 거울과 검, 그리고 방패가 되어주길] My missionaries in a foreign field [타지에 뿌리내린 나의 선교사들이여] For some reason I can't explain [어떤 이유인지는 설명 할 수 없지만] Once you go there was never [당신이 왕의 자리로 간다면 절대로] Never a honest word [진실된 말은 단 하나도 없을거라고] And that was when I ruled the world [그리고 이건 한때 내가 세상을 지배했던 이야기라네] It was a wicked and wild wind [그건 사악하고 거친 바람이었어] Blew down the doors to let me in [나를 들어가게 하기위해 바람을 불어왔지] Shattered windows and the sound of drums [산산조각난 창문과 북치는 소리가 들려와] People couldn't believe what I'd become [사람들은 내가 어떻게 될 지 믿지 못할거야] Revolutionaries wait [혁명가들이 기다리는 것은] For my head on a silver plate [은쟁반 위에 올려진 내 머리이고] Just a puppet on a lonely string [그저 한가닥의 외로운 실이 연결된 꼭두각시일 뿐이야] Oh who would ever want to be king? [이제 누가 왕이 되길 바랄까?] I hear Jerusalem bells are ringing [난 예루살렘에 울리는 종소리를 들었고] Roman Calvary choirs are singing [로마 기병대의 합창대가 노래했지] Be my mirror my sword and shield [나의 거울과 검, 그리고 방패가 되어주길] My missionaries in a foreign field [타지에 뿌리내린 나의 선교사들이여] For some reason I can't explain [어떤 이유인지는 설명 할 수 없기때문에] I know Saint Peter won't call my name [성 배드로가 내 이름을 불러주지 않을것을 알고있지] Never an honest word [진실된 말은 단 하나도 없을거야] But that was when I ruled the world [그러나 이 이야기는 내가 세상을 지배했던 이야기라네] Oh oh oh oh oh Never an honest word [진실된 말은 단 하나도 없을거야] But that was when I ruled the world [그러나 이 이야기는 내가 세상을 지배했던 이야기라네]

Huh, this is interesting cause Viva La Vida always sounded like a sad song to me. Like, I suppose it didn’t have an overly obvious sad tune to it, but when you pay attention to the lyrics, it’s clearly not a happy song or story. Wonderful cover! I really like your take on it!

Never realized how biblical this song was and how it’s a metaphor for their own spiritual warfare. Incredible work

I know this is supposed to sound sad, and it kind of does, but to me it sounds more like you're starting to recover from a rough time in your life. Great work!

Perfect singer. Perfect songwriter. Perfect lyrics. Perfect harmony. Perfect Coldplay. Legendary.

Here after Rosé's cover, both are amazing

Can't wait to hear more! Every song he made just like the most sweets candy touching in my life and tells a story.

This popped up in my recommended and i'm not complaining, your voice is something special. Puts a smile on my face. Keep up the amazing work, you're amazing!

Ever since the song came out many years ago, I somehow felt melancholic whenever I hear it. Thank you for getting it there.

Now this cover can't be not same with Rosé blackpink cover

ACTUALLY CRYING. this song has a special place in my life. you’ve made it even more special❤

viva la vida’s lyrics are so beautifully written i love the song

Man your voice fits this sad version perfectly, I absolutely LOVE this!

I have always loved the melancholy of this song and this cover captures it really beautifully.

I've noticed as a musician that a lot of people when they "transform" songs that they do it extremely simply, to make it lofi you add a filter and a lot of reverb and it's done. I went into this expecting to hear the crackling sound filter and too much compression, but I was pleasantly surprised, good job :D

I was just thinking today how sad the lyrics of Viva la Vida were, and woah you just made it so powerful. Your voice is incredible!

Always found the tune of the song very energetic, but even though this is sad, it brings a COMPLETELY new vibe that rocks. I played it on repeat at least 10 times in a row. Great voice.

Thank you. This really means a lot to me since it’s been quite tough these days. And your voice is full of emotions which kinda heal the wounds in my heart. Sincerely love it, thanks.

without fail at 0:27 seconds every single time i hear this part of the song my brain automatically supplies “it was the creepers and the skeletons, blew down the doors and let me in” and i am so sorry

How’d you transform an already song into a sadder version?! Such a good job! I feel like this better suits the original’s lyrics

It kinda is a sad song…here after here Rosè’s cover from the Pachinko Season 2 trailer!

This is my favorite song, and the only complaint I had is I wish it was just a TINY bit slower so other people could understand the story the lyrics told. While the violin in the original is essential to the song (and obviously you can’t do everything) getting a collab where the violin is introduced at the same cadence would be absolutely incredible.

this is a good example of life honestly. u can be happy that it happened or sad that its gone

God i wish I could sing like you. You absolutely smashed this cover!

This cover really gives me chills, congrats dude

We all need to agree that we need this on singing platforms!! It is angelic and you’ve literally made me see a whole new aspect of singing an already sad song that hits the spot even more.

This randomly popped up on my recommended, I couldn’t even recall the song but i just felt like i needed to watch it. This is one of the most beautiful things I’ve ever heard, thank you for making this.

This version reminds me how sad this song is. Viva La Vida was always sad to me. Listened to this song tons of time after I broke up with my long-term boyfriend, more than other straightfoward "break-up" songs. For me, the song taste like slap of reality of how fast thing can change, lost of dream and future that you thought will be forever. Lost of power, like sands slipping through your fingers and you cant control it. Everything thrown over in just a night with plenty of regrets and nostalgia but you can't really say anything.

This is such a beautiful version of the song. To some reason I'm so obsessed with it when I play it on the violin. You're also a really good singer! This is so beautiful, and in my opinion the way viva la vida is supposed to be. It's such a great cover of the song !!1!!!1 overall, 1000000/10

you absolutely nailed how i’ve always imagined the vibes of this song! incredible talent man!

This song really echoes on my pretty short 16 years of living in this floating ball of rock. I was an academic achiever back then on my elementary days, I always had what i wanted, everyone would be very happy to see me, its like im famous or something and everyone would just like me, they'd treat me right and basically everyone liked me, until one day, i lost the academic achievements, those achievements are like everything to me back then but i only realized it pretty recently, i started with an academic achiever streak to just a student until i reached rock bottom, which is now, now i even receive failing grades. I was on top of the world, I had a taste on what being the best feels like, and tbh it felt really amazing, now i lose the most important friends and people because of being irresponsible and being a stupid person. If you've reached this far and you relate to what im saying, if you are irresponsible and lazy as well, learn this lesson "Be Responsible, Work Hard And Smart" and change your life. I'd like to turn my life around, i hope you can turn yours as well.

I can't get enough of your version. Great work

I like how he is not trying to replicate original Artist and actually using his own original voice. Whether in a pro or a noob it always sound good if the person isn't doing it for Fame but actually being themselves. Thanks for giving out these positive vibes!

I honestly thought Viva La Vida was already a pretty sad song to begin with but you have proven me wrong sir, it can get so.. SO much sadder, good work

What a CLEAN voice and background music. It's a whole experience listen to this masterpiece with headphones. I like it better than the original. Love your voiceeee 😩🥺😭😭❤️❤️

Such incredibly clean vocal work, effortless. So glad that I found this today.

So beautiful. Thank u for this cover!

__Lyrics__ I used to rule the world Seas would rise when I gave the word Now in the morning I sleep alone Sweep the streets I used to own I used to roll the dice Feel the fear in my enemy's eyes Listened as the crowd would sing Now the old king is dead!

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 are 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'd gone, there was never Never an honest word 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?

Thank you so much for blessing my ears with your beautiful voice! Please continue making amazing music and I will continue to support you!

this song meant to be sad from the very beginning, and you made it 100th time sadder with this version ... an excellent cover for this song ..you made it exactly how it should be

your voice is so beautiful and i just couldnt bring myself to stop listening, you have an amazing talent and I couldn't begin to say how angelic your voice is

I find that this song is very symbolic because it’s obviously about the King of France but for me it also meant how someone who had it all or at least could, suddenly loses everything that he had. Everyone is surprised of what he’d become. How was it possible for someone who had it all could be like this now… It could be associated with any situation, like moving to another country or place where you had everything, everyone knew you but now you have to start again without having any friends. Always appreciate all the moments you are living because soon they will disappear and another moment will come.

As soon as it finished I replayed and repeated another 10 times. WOW! Your voice is absolutely beautiful. So calming. You made this song 10x sadder, I love it 🥰

It's kind of funny how I see this song portrayed, because I enjoy acting so much I can picture a scene of a man clearly broken down, dirty, alone in a area of rubble. A young girl/boy notices them on a field trip and walks over to the man asking if he is alright. The man looks up at them and explains, "It was all my fault. I wish it wasn't." The young boy/girl looks confused asking, "What's your fault?" Then suddenly everyone around them disappears and a new scene unravels around them, the rubble rebuilding itself as if to retell a story. That's when the man starts singing. The buildings have rebuilt themselves as if brand new, parades and posters of the man in his crown were plastered everywhere. Everything seems joyful till it wasn't. Fireballs launch over the tall stone walls, destroying the once beautiful buildings. Everyone is distraught, in a full blown panic running around with their families, some holding their belongings. An army marches through, the scene turns red, everything is ruined. A man is dragged out of the castle and placed on his knees, one of the army men wearing a more protective suit draws his sword raising it. He swings at the man, before the sword could even reach his neck the scene vanished instantly. The young boy/girl go to turn around to the man, he is gone. Obviously it would be way more detail than what I described but that's the gist.

I don't have words for this! Simply amazing!

I love this version!!! You’re voice is so expressive and so good for this song! Thank you so much for doing this! It sounds awesome!

진짜 목소리 미쳤다...

가끔은 이런 느낌을 원할때가 있었는데 이런느낌 딱 좋은것같네요 뭔가 점점 저물어가는 노을앞에서 지금까지의 삶을 돌아보며 잔잔하게 부르는 노래같아요

Kinda crazy how music unlocks that nostalgic feeling. A theory that could fit time travel

Geez, this is amazing, and I love the soft beat that kicked in so much. Also, amazing voice!! Viva la Vida has definitely always been my favorite song by them, so its really nice to hear such an amazing and sweet cover of it

The original had a very nostalgic feel to it while this has a more sad song vibe to it. I kinda like the original more cause of the nostalgic chords that carried it through. But i like this one as well cause it's something i can just play and vibe with

COLDPLAY NEED TO WATCH THIS, THIS IS AMAZING!!!!

This guy deserves more attention

This version matches the 'lyrics' and base of the song, but the original matches the setting, the chaotic, loud crowd of the revolution, awaiting King Louis' execution. This version sounds like it would be used in a quiet area, looking back on past mistakes- but the original really captures the essence of the loud setting: Everyone booing and yelling words, the execution being rushed, King Louis having mere minutes to say his final speech, even whilst no one listens. Both are superb in their own way but I personally believe the original is made to capture the settings and emotions of the base of the song, the meaning.

I always thought this song was sad but it gives me Villian Vibes so i don't mind! But gosh your voice is absolutely beautiful! Like i am crying with how gorgeous is! You sooth my soul and I needed this. Thank you. Thank you so much Have a lovely day! Love you all!!!! 💖

Pochinko soundtrack

Viva La Vida was a song that reminded me of happiness. It's like reminiscing about happiness and wondering how it all got destroyed. This cover just made me feel sad. Like I lived my life in sadness and I'm finding a way to be less sad.

absolutely beautiful cover. this is one of my most favorite songs and you really captured how the nostalgia and regret i often associate with this song.

absolutely love his voice and you could hear the emotions he's poured into this. glad I'm here for the ride - can't wait for Drunk Text!!

Beautiful voice 😊 Best version of this song I've heard

Viva La vida is a beautifully sad song, honestly the greatest song ever you always feel something when listening to it

This song came out and i cried to it because all those memories comes back long ago just hearing this cover of yours made it more sad and so good damn it brings all those thoughts in to mind ....its just wonderful 😁🙌🏼

I love the original but your version just lights up the lyrics and helps vividly picture the scene of loneliness, decline, the end of a king. It’s like ive waited for your version all this time but didn’t know it.

viva la vida is sad, always has been.

i discovered your channel because of this video. your music is so good! one of my favorite artists fs

“One minute I held the key Next the walls were closed on me” Another line that hit’s🥺🥺

just found you. beautiful cover. one of my favorites forever and really how i always felt about the song.

Its too good.Speechless

I’ve always though the song was sad, but this took it to a different level! Your voice is great!

This song means a lot to me and you sang it beautifully

amazing work man, brilliant 👏🏾🔥

Viva La Vida is and has always been a very, very sad song, touching on some pretty heavy themes. I just think you helped strip down the noise to make the lyrics more clear. Which is wonderful. This was an excellent cover, and I think you did the lyrics justice. I also recommend people that like this song to pay attention and reflect on the themes of the song. There’s much to think about and is quite relevant to even non-Kings.

You executed “Who would ever want to be king?” So perfectly Beautiful 🖤

I always imagine myself in a warm summer in Venice when the sun is setting when I hear this song.

This isnt just the best cover of this song that ive ever heard, this is one of the best covers of ANY song that ive ever heard 11/10

Deserves more likes 🥺 amazing voice ❤️

Excuse me, I didn't expect to go on and be on the verge of sobbing as I listened to this. You did this very well, thank you for making me sob.

dude this is beautiful, your voice is so smooth and those higher notes sounded effortless, you've 100% earned a subscription and can't wait to hear more! ❤️

I love this song. Me and my class sang this on the last day of school in middle school. I really miss my teachers. It's unbelievable how old we get 🥲

Holy wowza, how does this feel like it changes the song's meaning? It's as if someone really lost it all, and now they're left with nothing but themselves and the repercussions of their actions. Love this cover!

My god Henry, just totally recreated this song for me. You are insanely talented. This is my favourite track on youtube so far this year. Killed it

there are just some songs that hit different this is one of them i love coldplay went to see them in glasgow best night ever

You deserve every subscription, and literally concert performance requests going for $18 million an appearance.

Amazing. I can't recall the last time I just sat down and stopped whatever it is I was doing to listen to a song and fully absorb it.

It feels so your voice was made for this song your voice implements the song just right it feels soo soothing hope to listen more from you ❤

Wasn't expecting this to be so good! I'll be on the lookout for more.

It’s already sad to me. It represents my nostalgia, regrets, and a time I wish I could go back and chnge

Dudeeee this is gorgeous?? You have such an amazing voice!! I will definitely be listening to this song on repeat a lot.
