    @phoenixpyrocreations This video was on Jon's channel at one point. This is when I downloaded a copy so I could watch it offline. Then Jon ran into some legal copyright issues with Coldplay over this song and thus he had to remove it from his own channel (as he couldn't legally have it up as promotion, nor could he sell the song for profit). When I found this out, I thought music this good shouldn't be kept from the masses, so I uploaded my own file (not for profit). =)

    You've truly changed my life, I've kept coming back to this song for the last decade now.
    I was 15 when I first found this, I remember because me and my then girlfriend would play it together.
    I'm 25 now, in a whole different position I was then.
    Life is crazy, life is unexpected, but for as long as we are breathing life is great.
    Thank you for helping me whenever I need it.

    From Billy's wife: This was the very first song I heard by the Piano Guys when I was doing a search for Viva la Vida and instantly fell in love with their music. I've been counting down the days to when we're finally able to watch them perform in person next week. Their music is so inspirational and they clearly enjoy playing their instruments and have proved time and time again with some of the artists they perform with that music doesn't have to be in the language you speak to touch your soul. Thank you for sharing your wonderful gifts with the world!

    To this day, I can vividly imagine this song playing on my wedding day. It seems perfect. "Love Story" is playing as the bridal party is introduced, and right when the bride begins walking out, "Viva La Vida" starts playing. It seems like the perfect rendition for this kind of situation. I hope it gets used. If it gets used, I would 100% petition the rights to this rendition. What an amazing conjunction of two songs that you never normally imagined being used together....

      @doctordinternet Před 2 lety +3

      My wife and I used it for our wedding. Our nieces played piano and violin and a couple of brothers from a neighbouring church sang the vocals. The wedding party all walked in perfectly on part and I will never forget the double doors being opened and seeing my wife and my father-in-law walk out just as the music changed. It was so awesome. Now hearing this song often brings tears to my eyes (which doesn't usually happen to me, ha)
      Of course the video was lost and we never got to watch it... But, honestly, it is so perfect in our memories that it might be better that way. I just wish that my bride could have seen more of it.

      Part of me wishes that we did it that way too. But by the time I got out of high school and graduated college I forgot about this compilation and when I met my, now, wife we had picked out a different song that was special to us so it still worked out and in the end it was the way it was meant to be.
