A "mashup" of Coldplay's "Clocks" and Sufjan Stevens' "Chicago", made by smrq/The Tape Factory (Greg Smith and Eytan Sharton-Bierig) sometime in 2007 or 2008. Enjoy!

[@ilikeafrica]

I can't listen to either of these songs by themselves anymore

[@mellowthebear]

ilikeafrica Which is why I turned of 20 seconds in 😅

[@pointcuration1278]

There's something very touching about two stanzas at 1:28: Confusion never stops / I drove to New York Closing walls and ticking clocks / In a van, with my friend Come back and take you home / We slept in parking lots I could not stop, that you now know, singing / I don't mind, I don't mind Come out upon my seas / I was in love with the place Cursed missed opportunities am I / In my mind, in my mind A part of the cure / I made a lot of mistakes Or am I part of the disease, singing / In my mind, in my mind

[@SonniDez]

I actually hadn’t listening to this mashup in years and so when the normal version of clocks came along on my Spotify shuffle I was like... why does this feel wrong? After a few minutes of googling I was brought back to this mix. Forgot how much I loved this.

[@caiofioravante6823]

Was listening to Chicago today, suddenly remembered the melody of clocks. had to google it if someone had the same idea. holy molly man, what a mashup. 12 years without knowing this masterpiece

[@Sarah-vi4bn]

This made me so sad and happy at the same time, I haven't experienced these emotions in a while

[@roycoon520]

This mashup has made me cry. HOW IS IT SO GOOD?!?!?

[@Sarah-vi4bn]

THIS IS THE BEST THING IVE EVER HEARD IN MY LIFE

[@Thegameshowcase]

This is like my favorite song of all times. I spend about 2 hours looking for it because I heard it like 3 years ago and I remember I loved it!

[@smoogy120]

Makes me wanna cry and sing along at the same time

[@corpstheonenonly1458]

pussy

[@ChristianContemporaryMusic02]

@@corpstheonenonly1458 YOUR A REALLY BAD PERSON!

[@0v3rgr0wn]

I hated the fact it had both vocals at first because it didn't feel natural. But then it grew on me

[@AkshatJha]

came here to say this

[@lillywilliams8966]

This brings me to a good place every time I hear it, just incredible and so special to me. Thank you

[@fionageddes4478]

Gorgeous! 3:25 to 3:55 is the perfect combo of the 2 songs!

[@fratrules2305]

100% agree

[@Cecilia-wj8vw]

This song is so calming, wonderful to listen to on a long car trip!

[@sarahhemphill8875]

So true! My sister played this on a family road trip at night and it was so perfect.

[@MAKIESALLY]

Is it weird that this made me tear up because it was the most beautiful thing I've ever heard in my life?

[@ParadoxicalSerenity]

11 years and still makes me teary :') so beautiful

[@squidneysoup]

Legitimately one of my favorite KZbin videos of all time

[@carlosgarciasanchez]

2:27 - 2:57 is just fantastic! So is 3:26 - end. Beautiful mashup

[@larissaansay9724]

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa 😍

[@wallsk8r]

One of the most amazing songs ive ever heard. Almost a tear to my eye every time

[@ChristianContemporaryMusic02]

Its beautiful!

[@AS-ym6lk]

Holy god this is amazing

[@spalazzo9]

Omg this... this... it's so good words can't describe it *.*

[@Empresstk]

I'M SO GLAD I FOUND THIS. What a gem. My new happy song ❤️

[@ladystate3687]

it just blew my mind! great song!

[@onekilliondollars]

neither original song is satisfying anymore... but this song is worth it

[@LiliumCruorem]

Coldplay and Sufjan are two of my favorite artists, so this made my night xD

[@yourfriendthenerd]

If you listen to these two songs as they are unedited, they are also different keys and tempos. It's only when you sync those up that they work.

[@carlosgarciasanchez]

I'm in eternal bliss. Just beautiful

[@jaydeb.6451]

I’m just now finding the song Chicago because of The Bear then I went searching for this mashup. I love both of the songs but I feel robbed because I’m JUST now finding it 😭 better late than never

[@douglaspantz]

highly recommend you check the whole Illinois album that chicago comes from, it’s stacked back to back with chamber pop bangers My favorite songs from it are Chicago, Come on Feel the Illinoise, Jacksonville, Cashimir Pulsaki Day and John Wayne Gacy Jr (the last two are quite sad)

[@blakewedd]

3:25 is hauntingly beautiful

[@rosiesacco8658]

I will always love this song

[@RaymondRishty]

It is the Marshall Field and Company Building, indeed located in Chicago. The building's Wikipedia page discusses the clocks and includes pictures.

[@sonicsrings]

experiencing the peak of human emotion rn

[@KaelMcG23]

This, children, is what we call an "eargasm"

[@zincat761]

I am learning to play this on the piano

[@Stumbler98]

It matches up so perfectly!

[@slowbro2539]

This is magic.

[@Jay2Fire42]

This is one of the best Mashups they made so far better than all the others.♡

[@johnwalsh964]

I love this so much.

[@ekayr7209]

This should actually happen in their concerts. If they worked even harder on this, it could be even more amazing. Good job!

[@MultiAwesomeanna]

Why is this so beautiful...

[@gideonscheepers4340]

Oh my God, this is beautiful! How on earth was this made!?

[@delorianecameron5250]

I forgot about this mix it’s still awesome thank you!

[@pj5295]

This has a Christmas feeling, who else feels this?

[@corbetttt]

when this came up as a 'suggestion' the thought of listening to it horrified me, but actually its amazing how the two songs compliment each other :o)

[@blucrysis5706]

really good combination of the two sounds phenomanal

[@ixtlankauldeva180]

How is there not a live collaborative version of this?

[@DisgustedBatman]

wow the top comments made a sentence! "This is not so much a mashup as it is two song being played at the same time. But it still works well, surprisingly."

[@eriktenhag2022]

Magical.

[@cdevidal]

189K views and I'm responsible for at least 20K of them

[@SnowingWolfGirl]

This greatly pleases me.

[@Sarah-vi4bn]

This brought me to tears

[@claireuze]

I'll always love this.

[@silverbee1031]

I loved it the first time I heard it way back when, and I *still* love it.

[@thefrenchlootenant]

WHERE IS THE OPTION TO LOVE THIS

[@evansokis3747]

[@captocie]

[@yazeed9044]

i'm so glad i ran into this mashup !

[@neondynamite11]

Be it a mashup or two songs played at the same time, this sounds heavenly; majestic as fuck.

[@PepeLeehay]

This>everything else

[@halmeoniluna]

oh my gosh this is so clever and so amazing !!!!!!!!! thank you for sharing this

[@prospectsammer]

THIS IS PERFECT.

[@angeliemrp]

This is frigggggen awesome!

[@MusicFasionista]

i gotta say.. they picked the right two songs... >.

[@carolynmonro8]

THIS. IS. AMAZING.

[@Lamassum]

I like them both, interesting work thnx

[@evansokis3747]

Here we come 2022 good job .coldplay

[@zoeosman8313]

This is stunningly beautiful ❤

[@mattma2195]

I like this a lot. Even though it may not exactly be a mash-up, it takes two fantastic songs and puts them together to create a new and different sound. It creates something in which two different peoples ideas and emotions are combined to give people who are fans of each a new and interesting perspective. I think while it is not as good as the two original songs, it is a great way to experience a bit of both!

[@colepeterson1437]

This mashup vs. the LCD Soundystem/Miles Davis one

[@saimonflowers9344]

All I´ve done in my life has led me to find this video. I´ve done things right.

[@jhyoon9174]

Incredible

[@phase866]

I looked at the name and said to myself" Oh God, I know this is going to make me cry. These mofos."

[@coldplaylover89]

XD. Favorite comment. :D

[@ladyrose837]

this is beautiful and amazing...

[@diegoalonso374]

[@Sev99933]

[@LexiLemons]

[@TheBottleofsand]

They need to join up and do this live.

[@SophiaTheSophist]

[@emmy1515]

Currently running circles and banging my piano!

[@SpyFoxes]

Woow this is amazing.

[@bienvenus.n4072]

[@mcmichat]

Where can I buy this? SHUTUP AND TAKE MY MONEY, DAMNIT!

[@MusicFasionista]

The worst part was 5:16.

[@michaellara7046]

Fuck you

[@mikogale]

Are you implying there's no bad parts?

[@cdevidal]

Michael Lara didn’t get the joke.

[@d00dl3mast3r]

Awesome! Hope it works out.

Good news--it is :D

[@AlwaysAPotterhead]

@hellgirl013 Yup. Listening to it now.

[@weirdgirl6382]

it sounds like an angel surfing down a rainbow on a unicorn made of happiness and cake and shit

[@iST3LLA]

Tumblr brought me here. This is so gorgeous I don't even.

[@IsaacSung]

@hellgirl013 yup, pretty sure

[@imbosticky]

wow.

[@cecelialaudat8205]

Shun the non-believer!

[@Tundra1428]

I hit show comment to see what you meant, comment no longer exists. Not sure what to think of this dark magic.

[@jordanus21393]

This isn't a mash up. It's called paying two songs at once that have the same key signature and progression lol. Still it's pretty cool

[@jhyoon9174]

Except they have different key signatures

[@lexthanexpected]

Oh no, in the beginning it is not lining up and my 7 years in band is kicking in

[@coldplaylover89]

Within 5 seconds, my face went from: 🤔😳😍😍😝😘🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗
