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

[@matthiaszangerle]

Thank you! :)

[@Theshowersinger]

It’s pretty awesome

[@michaeltutty1540]

Don't forget that Abba learned the English words to their songs phonetically before they became fluent in the language

[@Theshowersinger]

@@michaeltutty1540 it’s a fun fact indeed

[@Joshuamllr]

Phonetic singing is called IPA. It’s how anyone from any country can learn the lyrics without knowing any meaning.

[@christiandelacruz4872]

Lets take a moment to appreciate the fact that they use only their voices just to make this masterpiece. This is epic❤

[@professor4477]

yes bro

[@Taevarth]

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

[@matthiaszangerle]

Thank you! As a musician and audio engineer, you know the job is done right when there is emotional response to what you are doing 😊

[@luigicroce9911]

Beautiful cit

[@mithhx]

i know saint peter wont call my name

[@richardkroll2269]

The other productions you have done that I have listened to are also great but this composition (with cello regretfully no) is my favorite. Some performances have too slow a rhythm but yours nailed it @@matthiaszangerle

[@matthiaszangerle]

Thank you! 😊

[@mwa677]

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.

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!

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

[@user-xy4ff5yp7b]

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

[@matthiaszangerle]

Thank you so much!!!

[@shortcircuit7310]

Does anyone else finish this and immediately replay it because you don't want it to end ??

[@matthiaszangerle]

Thank you!!!

I still don’t know the answer because I am still in the first, time, but I think that the answer would be positive Edit: yes, me too

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.

i am not usually one for Accapella covers, but all the ones on this channel are all soooo good, i can't stop listening to them, this one has been on all my youtube playlists for a good year.

[@matthiaszangerle]

Thank you so much. It feels really good to hear that! ❤️

[@greensmv]

The original song is excellent, but this is one of the rare occasions when the cover exceeds the original (in my opinion). Kudos to the arranger and the wonderful singers! I have probably listened to this version 20 times to date, and will never grow tired of it. I hope that you have more music coming . . .

[@matthiaszangerle]

Wow, thank you! Feels incredibly good to hear this. There is more in the making, we just need some time to produce the music videos. Next up: Bastille - Pompeii!

Oh mein Gott, wie schön ist das bitte?! Ich liebe Coldplay und dieses Lied ist natürlich das Aushängeschild von Coldplay und ihr habt das Lied gerockt! Bitte mehr von dieser Art von Video, wo man alle Sänger:innen gemeinsam sieht. Die Stimme von Yara ist so clean, die Percussions auf den Punkt und der Soprano von Wiebke super, einfach schön!

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.

[@hiroyukitakazawa5266]

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!

[@matthiaszangerle]

Wow, thank you so much for this awesome feedback! There went a lot of love into the arrangement and the whole project and it feels incredible to know it is valued like this!

Vielen Dank!!

[@Bill.R.124]

Quite beautiful, and such a brilliant arrangement and sound production! I'm always puzzled by how many pop singers barely open their mouths to sing; reminds me of someone just humming to the radio versus making a professional recording. Watch Celine sing and that is how one uses their mouth to let the sound out, shape the vowels, and articulate. They have such amazing potential.

[@matthiaszangerle]

Thank you! We steadily try to improve our singing capabilities so thank you for the great Feedback as well! 😊
