Coldplay on 60 Minutes (CBS) in 2009

Coldplay and mostly Chris Martin was on 60 Minutes on February 8 of 2009. This was in the Viva La Vida era when they were touring all around the world.

"We rely more on Enthusiasm than actual skill. Whatever you do--do it enthusiastically and people will love it more" - Chris Martin

[@Changelingheart]

I wouldn't and couldn't ever say they aren't skilled. Dude even knows leather pants are ugly, and i know nice is cool, vulnerable is attractive and they are an excellent cohesive(usually) group of fellows. These guys still get called boys, they've been men since their 1st apartment. Or gig.

60 Minutes With Chris Martin. 😊❤

[@gonnahavemesomefun]

I pretty much have done this my whole life, total imposter syndrome like many out there

[@StrawberryJam806]

He’s so humble. He doesn’t give himself enough credit. He’s a brilliant songwriter.

[@saraiarmstrong5668]

@Prince Jon esa weá es tan enferma, por la chucha

[@StrangeAttractor]

nah. Chris seems to be the only one in the Coldplay world who is fully aware that he 'can't sing like Beyonce, dance like Usher or write songs like Elton John.' All you sycophantic fans, take note.

He’s right. “Christmas Lights” did turn out great :)

[@ohboymynez2916]

i find Chris so sincere, humble, straightforwardly honest.. people love him for being true human..

[@velvaalvarez9099]

Coldplay: probably the nicest band on the planet. They deserve a grammy for Coloratura. I was so disappointed when they didn't get one this year. 🎶💟

[@liranMashina]

one of the best musician at our generation & such a gentleman.

[@themayansneverleft200]

You too ❤️🙏❤️

[@redwinet3]

Why does he have to be so funny, charming and good looking? Well...really, he’s a genius. He’s got it all. He’s successful and talented! All of it! Everything! 😍

[@ogdvb]

Well, I never considered myself a fan, but I can’t deny the fact that not being a genius lyricist nor being a virtuoso musician Chris Martin definitely is one of just a few genuinely great Artists of our times because he lives the music, he breathes it and he turns his own passion into something people can really feel. His music is very palpable. The joy he and his guys brings to people around the globe is worth way much than any critic’s attempts to bring them down. And damn what a truly beautiful creature he is♥️he’s adorable and very good-looking guy

[@patriciaroberts100]

Chris is angelic in Spirit, highly evolved in Soul and very funny.

[@salsanchezi.c.1470]

He says we can't write like Elton John, but he writes a legendary masterpiece with, "Viva la Vida"

[@Tom-ok2rh]

In actuality most of Elton’s songs were in collaboration with Bernie Taupin and they were together tremendous song writers. I have heard that Bernie would write most of the lyrics but it was Elton that figured how the lyrics should sound in the song.

I used to take my meal break in the lobby of my workplace whilst watching MTV. In 2000 I came across Yellow by a group I'd never heard of. I've been a fan ever since. ❤️

[@aliszar]

He is such a good person. The world needs him. Love all of them, love COLDPLAY! They put on the best concerts of any band I’ve ever seen. So much passion and energy and love!❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@bluecollarnobody4217]

Coldplay successful for two reasons No matter how much Chris and the boys want to admit it their talents of writing songs and chords it’s like they’ve been doing it for 50 or 60 years And number two they’re very humble they haven’t let money power and fame go to their head And that’s a very unique skill to have when you’re on top of the world No matter how big you get Coldplay keep on doing you stay just like you are your music rocks and I listen to it all the time Just a humble fan

[@ar1annit71]

12:18 “That’s gonna be good though, I can feel it” he knew they were making one of the best christmas song

[@Natureboy1607]

He can't describe it because it is one of kind ! Absolutely great music !

[@c123ray]

There is something very positive about having one or both parents who are teachers especially as demonstrated by each member of Coldplay having parents who are teachers. Teachers are so often very encouraging especially when it comes to following one's dreams; they are emotionally supportive + great at facilitating success in whatever one is most keen to pursue; they instill a strong work ethic yet humbleness along with collaborating well with other; and teachers typically need + have the kind of sense of humor which helps them reach + communicate well with others along with a self-deprecating sense of humor/never taking oneself too seriously. Chris Martin as the lead singer + Coldplay's front man really shines as a glistening model on behalf of his fellow band members of the positive benefits of each band member being raised by teachers. I not only would love to meet Chris Martin + his band mates, I think the band members' teacher parents would also be lovely + interesting to meet. Best wishes!

[@charliesalter3744]

I love this comment so much! Very true words! Teachers deserve so much credit. I live in Southampton where Will grew up and where his father still continues to teach in the university so I may have a chance to meet him, or bump into them in the local pub (they're often spotted here!)

[@tizianaprimini9944]

So good singer and musician. So sweet, positive, always giving positive vibes to his fans!! Not looking as a star but he is a Star!

7:38 songs for the last album were already in the making

[@ThomasJakobMusic]

Arabesque :O

[@deejay7339]

He said in an interview somewhere he has wrote songs for "years into the future" to account for his age. The statement was regarding aging as a pop star. Some songs are more appropriate for an older gentleman, so I'm sure there are many that've already been penned.

[@ThomasJakobMusic]

@@deejay7339 somehow that feels very comforting. artists can give much sense to the passing of time. like Bowie too , music till the end.

[@TheNish101]

Guy actually mentions in this interview - kzbin.info/www/bejne/janaqXt4p6iVm7M, that Arabesque was a totally different song written 10 years ago and only a part of it is in the beginning of the Everyday Life version.

I mean you can say like "Brandon flowers of The Killers is on cbs tonight" and it sounds like it should. But then I checked my title and saw that it maybe has been seen as "Chris Martin of Coldplay on cbs "but not going to talk about Coldplay" so I just changed it to Coldplay.

[@plscalllater]

John H I wish he never mixed the initial lyrics of Wedding Bells’s chorus (from the South Bank Show) and these ones. It would be just amazing if they put out Christmas Lights and Wedding Bells as two separate songs.
