Let's take a moment to appreciate the fact that these guys are literally German-speaking acapellists singing Coldplay

[Taevarth]

This sounded so great. The way it was sung almost brought a tear to my eye, for some reason I can't explain.

[xyffypb]

They’re all amazing but I think the soloist sung it so tastefully. She didn’t overdo it. Bravo

[mwa]

this feels so effortless and casual, it's so cool! it has this chill vibe which I like, definitely going to keep coming back to this video.

[alexcostain]

I am a die hard Coldplay fan, I really hope the guys see this! This is incredible! Everyone did an amazing job. Good luck on your music journey!

[ryryhc]

I love how happy and content they look while doing this

[mrtodoo]

This is beautiful! You all have beautiful voices. One of the best acapella covers of Viva La Vida.

[shaunmiller]

Finally. A young female singer who brought a simple and laidback approach to a cover. It was ridiculously refreshing.

[crimsonchase]

never heard something as incredible as this . This is like sugar to my ears

[billetboy]

The high notes just soar. Frisson in my bones ..every single time I listen

[indaansel]

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! 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'd gone there was never
Never an honest word
And that was when I ruled the world

It was a 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 St. Peter won't call my name
Never an honest word
But that was when I ruled the world

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh [5x]

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 St. Peter won't call my name
Never an honest word
But that was when I ruled the world

Now in the morning, I sleep alone
Sweep the streets I used to own

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 are ringing
Roman Cavalry choirs are singing
Be my mirror, my sword and shield

For some reason, I can't explain
Once you'd gone, there was never, never an honest word
And that was when I ruled the world

Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh, oh
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh, oh
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh, oh
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh, oh
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh, oh
Hear Jerusalem bells are ringing
Roman Calvary 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 have listened to this every night before dinner for a month. I just love the Capella soo much. You guys are fantastic.

[thespammerhammer]

That is a lot of work to mix and time every piece together. Kids, amazing kids with a talent that "will change the world" in a better way than we can all imagine. I can just imagine a parents pride, a teachers pride to witness this amazing acapella and bring wide smiles with a few tears of joy.

[Pedro]

Gänsehaut von der ersten bis zur letzten Sekunde...Ihr seid alle genial! So viel Schönheit auf einmal ist kaum auszuhalten. Ein Lob an den Arrangeur und DANKE DANKE DANKE!!!

[SpartaTipe]

this absolutely fascinates me how people can make such amazing music and beats with just their voices, love it so much

[hiroyukitakazawa]

It's a great performance. I'm thrilled!
First of all, I would like to give a gold medal to the person who wrote this arrangement.
In particular, the way you made the last song "can't explain" into a harmonization of all the members was very well directed.
The man's "oh oh oh oh oh oh~~~" in the second half was very cool.
(Almost as cool as the real thing!)
The lead singer, a girl, sang happily and her voice was lyrical.
It was wonderful how she blended in with the backing chorus.
Cool performance! Guys!

[shogunbirds]

I don't know where to even begin. Seeing the frontwoman genuinely L O V I N G what she's doing is just beyond words. Seeing her so fucking happy and passionate about this just makes the song a bonus. I can't help but sing along.

[susiundorn]

Can’t stop listening to your version of the song. It gives me thegoosebombs everytime! Better than the original! ❤
