Coldplay - Viva La Vida (Epic Piano Cover)

[@KatherineCordova]

*SHEET MUSIC:* www.musicnotes.com/l/GT3NZ *LISTEN ON SPOTIFY* ▶ spoti.fi/3yhQliy *LISTEN ON APPLE MUSIC* ▶ apple.co/3YoZccP Another classic re-visited. What else would you guys like to hear?

[@RodrigoSasaki]

I would love to see a cover from "Drink Up Me Hearties Yo Ho" from the Pirates of the Caribbean. I've heard so many of the main theme (that's actually contained in this piece), but the weaving melodies on the end of this specific tune (at 2:45 of the official track) are so delicate and powerful. They always give me chills. I've never heard a true depiction of that in a piano. And I truly think your composition style would give this piece the intensity it deserves.

Valerie by Amy Winehouse

[@pianosnoosh]

omg i know you hear this a lot but its because its true "your covers are just the best"

[@AndriusReadsBooksSometimes]

I'd love to see some Florence and the Machine arrangements! Maybe an updated version of What the Water Gave Me with sheet music?

[@pl0ox]

Creep or no surprises by radiohead i beg

[@For_Cruyff_Sake]

The band Coldplay should really gift you a steinway piano by now 😅. Awesome piece 👏👏👏

[@shanenice5380]

Give her award and money.

[@proboanimations]

Yup

[@OurHereafter]

@@proboanimations both wrong. bring her on stage to play during a show is the only correct answer

[@proboanimations]

@@OurHereafter I agree with that too

[@jonathandalecki7048]

I always feel like you take songs and turn them into hymns. Or prayers. There's a spirituality that you capture that never fails to bring tears (often the happy kind!) to my eyes.

[@KatherineCordova]

Haven’t heard someone put it that way before :) Thanks Jonathan!

[@annaamira3487]

That's a big truth !!!!God bless you Kathrine!!!Greetings from Athens Greece ❤​@@KatherineCordova

[@garfield_thedog1188]

That’s why I love how God gave us music, in reality they’re just sounds but can reveal so much more than that.

[@thearchivist250]

What I appreciate about your covers is that you don’t simply play the chords with the left and the melody with the right. You really make the arrangement interesting, but faithful to the original.

[@LegikS]

The best channel with Coldplay piano covers

[@KatherineCordova]

Thank you!

[@themadarchitect6857]

dare i say better than the original

[@ДмитрийДмитрий-ц2е]

Согласен❤

[@CDLClassA]

Way!!

[@munchen00fan]

Es ist gut.

[@proboanimations]

Yes sir

[@shadrachwiredu956]

Been playing the piano for the last 21 years. Have to say that I'm falling in love with this lady. The best. 😇😊

[@olesch177]

this bass boosted sound is so nice

[@vanessavillanueva1096]

Katherine, this cover is really different from the one you did 15 years ago. I now prefer listening to this version. It truly is more technically advanced and relatively closer to the emotion of the original. Kudos to your covers! Please keep them coming 👍

[@KatherineCordova]

I would hope I’ve improved in 15 years 😅 Thanks Vanessa!

[@howiefeltersnatch6953]

Wow! This is by far the best piano rendition I have heard of this song ever! I think even Chris Martin would be impressed! Great job and thank you for sharing!!

[@IliyasBekzat]

Truly a Coldplay master! Not just Coldplay, but the piano master! I love that every song you play, sounds like original❤👏👏

[@pia-music]

Amazing... I've heard this song more than 100 times but this is incredibly amazing.. I guess I will listen to this cover 100 times again from now on

Your piano covers are so beautiful. Love watching your videos 🩷🩷

[@rahulsundeep538]

This is amazing! My favourite musician on YT covering my fav band on the planet

[@lisabottcher9885]

Complex and gorgeous. I admire your passion and skill. 💘

[@thearchivist250]

Holy crap! The aggressive playing you’ve developed over the past few years of my watching is amazing. This is not a negative criticism. You seem so much more confident in yourself. I don’t want to even comment except to say…keep doing what you’re doing. You are traveling the right path. Whatever you choose.

[@rosemarypius4102]

U always play such impressive arrangements 👏👏

[@Anna217fhh]

This sounds so good! You play so smoothly, I dream of playing like this oneday!

[@goodvibes-t2o]

It's not easy to create a piano solo of a great tune but I think it is captured perfectly here. Wonderful.

[@d4v3y01]

Yet another amazing cover. IMO the best cover pianist on KZbin. I would love to hear you do a cover of What Was I Made For by Billie Eilish / Barbie Movie

[@eddieramirezgarcia6195]

Also, I noticed how the production of your videos has improved. They definitely look better now! Keep going, Katherine!! 👏🏼

[@Misterquanguy]

I usually never comment videos on youtube... but this is one of my favorite song ever and i have never heard such a beautiful piano cover. I dreamt of it, it never came, until today. Thank you !

Thank you 🙏🏼

Beautiful song ! Thank you Katherine Cordova ! 🌹🎼❤️🙏🕊️😘👍

[@4leavedclover192]

i searched the whole of youtube for a cover of "viva la vida", and i must say yours was the best in my opinion. Keep up the good work

[@KatherineCordova]

🙏🏼

[@ZacharyFinch]

You’re so sick on the keys that I wanna play on yours afterward just in the hopes that I catch whatever possessed you to arrange this incredible cover.

[@KatherineCordova]

Thanks Zachary!

[@richardlewin1596]

Sick?

[@ZacharyFinch]

@@KatherineCordova you’re welcome!

[@ZacharyFinch]

@@richardlewin1596 “Sick” can be slang for “very impressive or cool,” often in a way that seems wild or natural, as opposed to methodical or surgically precise. A similar use of slang might be to say “That was totally wicked!” in which case the given performance is not literally evil, but rather very amazing in ways that are unexpected. It’s like you’re arriving at a state of perfection through an untraditional or unfamiliar process.

[@davidbrussard-composer7372]

I had the easy piano sheet of this as a kid. This is one of my favourite songs, and I'm excited to see such an amazing cover of it that I can learn as an adult!

[@RandevViduranga]

When I first heard you playing "Brabi" few months ago, wanted to see if you have done "Viva La Vida", so scroll all the way down your video list and found a video uploaded few years ago. This version is so good ❤ thanks for doing it again.

[@HappyDay2283]

Your covers always stunn me! You are so gifted. I tried learning one of your songs but still struggle.

[@augustomoroni9167]

Great Katherine, your sensitivity has reached its maximum, this has become the best performance ever❤

Amazing cover! Can really feel the emotion in the song 😀 The video description says you used a piano VST - would you mind sharing which one? Love the sound of the bass notes!

[@baxtermortimer1550]

Yoooo this cover is absolute fire. At this rate you're gonna play the whole band's discography. Probably the best album Coldplay ever produced (hard to rate honestly they have wayy too many good ones). You did absolutely fantatastic on the bridge, incredible cover in general as always Katherine!

you definitly have a gift to play everything by ear, that's why all you covers sounds best. For us "normal" people it can be very frustrating to learn your sheets :-) but it's worth it

[@KatherineCordova]

It’s frustrating for me to transcribe them to sheets 😬

This is stunning!!!❤

That was just nasty, sister!! What powerful and tasteful playing! Bravo and cheers from Montréal.

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 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-ringin' Roman Cavalry choirs are singin' 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-ringin' 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 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 I hear Jerusalem bells a-ringin' Roman Cavalry choirs are singin' 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
