You don’t have to like Coldplay, but this is a world class performer

“Our drummer Will sings this next bit but I’ll try.” *MURDERS* *IT*

“Our drummer sings this bit but I’ll give it a go...” SINGS IT FLAWLESSLY pure talent.

his guitar strumming so pure clean 😮

Chris's voice is so clean.

Chris Martin is a true musician. How he sounds the same even in live and his guitar strumming is so good to listen.

The strum pattern he maintains to perfect rhythm is beautiful and difficult. If you don’t play you have no idea. And singing on top of it.

He's so unbelievably fucking amazing I dont understand how anyone can be so effortlessly talented and humble and speak with such humility

He look like a human version of Mark Zuckerberg.

Christ Martin has the sweetest vibe he’s like a kid

One of the best voices I've ever heard sheezus

One of the best written and arranged songs ever! ❤

"Our drummer Will sings this part, it's hard but I'll try" Me: HOLY SHIT DUDE!

That is a person doing what they’re meant to be doing in this existence. Period.

Such a pleasure to live in a time where Coldplay, and Chris Martin exists. My favorite band.

The way he changes the melody at the end! Magic! Pure musicality!

when Chris said "very simple", he ended up creating the best version for this song

His acoustic tone is amazing. His voice is amazing. His lyrics are amazing.

This gotta be one of the best songs ever written

The smile when he crushed that performance made my day

The sound engineer deserves massive credit here too. It's almost like a full studio version, at least to my ears.

Again Howard is a legend because of how he speaks to musicians. Nothing but admiration, respect, and solid questions.

Complete class act. Fantastic musician

He seems like such a humble dude.

Just imagine the band reaction when they first listen to this....

What I love about Chris is that he’s not performing, he’s just showing his friend a cool little thing. I wish that’s how all my auditions would go.

Coldplay have never been my cup of tea but his songwriting ability is world class. Especially with this song, Genius lyric writing with a great melody and great chorus hook.

I like his personality, accent and music he made. The most is the song he made for his wife.. real man.

Chris’ face at the end. That’s how you can tell music is truly his passion.

everyone: “wow, I wish I could do that...”

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 Listen 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 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

I love how curious Howard stern always is, of how an artist comes up with a song.

"Keep going, I'm with ya. Don't be afraid." Howard always knows the right thing to say at the right moment. That was a very sweet moment.

Chris : "Next part is very hard" Also him : *pulls it off with an ease*

There’s something extremely wholesome about Chris Martin

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.

5:14. He smiles as if hes so proud of it and he should be. The smile melted my heart 🥺

I highly doubted that this song would translate well into an acoustic guitar version. Boy, how insanely wrong I was, this is lovely...

"I wish I could do that" spoken from all of our hearts howard.

This song always painted such a vivid picture in my head. Chris is massively talented

No autotune needed,this is the real artist people..

Of course he plays a Martin.

This song always gives me goosebumps

Thank you Howard stern for making him play the entire song

Howard to Chris: "Don't be afraid!" Classic!

"wow i wish i could do that" - my thoughts exactly

Watching From Lagos Nigeria @11pm 28/05/23. I Can Say Without Reservation That Am Chris Martin Number One Fan In Nigeria. He's A Gift To Our Generation.

" you want me to carry on" " dude, fuck yeah, play the whole song "

Crazy how his voice has held up perfectly over the years!

Howard at the end: “Oh I wish I could do that” Me: Same 🥺

I love how humble he is and he is nervous about doing it and JUST KILLS IT 😢

Jesus, what a musician, beautiful.

"That came out really simple " *plays beautifully perfectly song version*

Chris seem like a good dude

Chris's voice is Heaven !!

He's voice is just truly amazing, I don't know what else can I say

No autotune. Pure talent.

The chords! The transition! The phrasing! The timing! That was awesome!

Chris is so damn down to earth ... love this guy.

Chris always seems to be that kid at the beginning of his career, he is so lovely 💜

I had the chance to be his interpreter once and spent some time with him. He is really a nice guy. I mean, really. The drummer too. Didn't spend much time with the bassist and the guitarist. But it was great. He's cool.

Chris : "Next part is very hard" Also him : pulls it off with an ease No autotune needed,this is the real artist people..

That's class baby.

i love the way howard interviews and interacts, his passion for music and the way he sets the musicians at ease and really bigs them up and gives props, great viewing/listening

Howard "i love that riff" Stern.

5:15 that smile reminds me of a toddler showing off a cool thing he found to his mom, and it just radiates pure joy. My heart

The music that kept me alive and strong through years of abuse. Thankful to God for saving me. ❤

such a gifted human being. love to see these raw versions

Those aren't easy chords he's playing while singing all those words. Impressive.

“Oh I wish I could do that” is what I say every time I watch Chris

Protect this English King of Music at all costs

Benedict Cumberbatch will be perfect for a Chris Martin biopic.

When Chris Martin looks like Mark Zuckerburg

Chris has improved his vocal technique, really nice voice.

Aw! He’s so cute with his huge smile at the end ❤ so proud of himself

This is one of the best recordings of him singing this song. It's raw, free, the spirit of viva la vida🎉🎉🎉

Let’s sum it up: -Handsome guy -Leader of a world famous band -Frontman of one of the most successful groups of all time -Ex-husband of Gwyneth Paltrow (the wife of Iron Man...) asks kindely if he can go on playing. And the second time he says “sure?” Man, that’s a humble boy! 👊🏻

Man, this guy's really talented. He should start a band.

It's amazing to see the legend Chris Martin play the song that made history all together.

Such a gem 💎... Finest singer of the EARTH 🌎

Just an honest and humbled musician." Should I keep going?". Nailed every part of it.

Dude! He filled in the instrumental parts with conversations. What a genius performer!

Coldplay is The Queen of our times.

A True Genius.

Damn his voice!! So pure and clean! He doesn't need Auto tune..

1:06 ---He looks like a high school student ready to do his Power point representation .

He just use a guitar, A Guitar. But the performance is masterpiece. I've been watch it for a few days now and I still can't get over it. What a musician!

Howard Stern brings out the best of the best musicians. Chris Martin - wow!

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. Words constantly buzzing around in your head, you sit down with an instrument and sometimes they fall into place. He has the confidence to take his musings into the studio and turn them into masterpieces...or do something like this just off the cuff. Remarkable.

Stern is a smart dude: "u gotta do the whole song"

Chris Martin I love you.❤❤❤

"For some reason, I can't explain, I know St.Peter won't call my name." This line echos out in my mind reminding me that I don't belong anywhere.

That rhythm and feel, most importantly his voice is amazing.

Chris: Starts playing Me: *thinks of that Minecraft song

He is a gift to humankind.

Uk talent and answer to the king - a great song - loved by millions - a humble likeable guy- Long live Coldplay ❤️❤️🇬🇧👍🙏🏻

holy shit I love the way he sings 'just a puppet on a lonely string' in this version

Chris has such a unique singing voice I love it!

anyone once every while just come back for that damn riff

Such a talented Mr Martin
