*LYRICS - Viva La Vida* ------------ 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 keys Next the walls were closed on me An' I discovered that m' 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 But that was when I ruled the world There was the wicked an' wild wind Blew down the doors to let me in The shattered windows and the sound of drums The people couldn't believe what I'd become Revolutionaries wait For my head on a silver plate Just a puppet on a lonely string Uh, who would ever wanna be king? 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 will call my name Never an honest word But that was when I ruled the world Oa woah ohhh oh [x4] 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 will call my name Never an honest word But that was when I ruled the world Album: Live Sessions, vol. 04

As a Coldplay fan I cant believe how good his rendition of this song is.

Oh, my word. KEEP HIM. Don't let him get away. Goodness, I didn't know he could sing. Dang.

A great thing about this group is how they meld together in performances, yet every member is capable of stepping forward and being an individual star.

Emmett adds so much to this family group. Unique vocalist and classy performance with the #1 musical family in America.

"What do people mean when they say 'vibing'?" "Watch this clip, watch all of them playing with their eyes closed and right in the pocket and in the moment, that's what vibing means"

Everyones eyes and facial expression are fun to watch.

If I had the time to create one million accounts I would like this video with every single one! 🔥

Such a treat when Emmett sings, mad skills

The best compliment I can give is that this is better than the original. Well done team.

I never understood the words until hearing this version. Great job Emmett!

@@jonathandaniel7424 I disagree that the song is about a specific historical fact like the French Revolution. The only reference is the album cover which depicts the painting "Freedom leading the people" by the French painter Eugène Delacroix, painted on the occasion of the Parisian struggle against King Charles X, brother of Louis XVI. But the whole text of the song speaks of a generic king, not better defined, who lived in an older age and with many biblical references. In fact I think Chris Martin wanted to talk about a person blinded by power who, once he has lost everything he had, realizes that he has neglected the important things - including values - in life.

For a Country/Bluegrass band, the Petersons have covered quite a few Rock and Pop songs, and have done an excellent job with them. The have become my second favorite group to listen to, trailing only behind the Beatles.

These guys could sing the phone book and make it sound great.

Wow! A great rendition of a classic Coldplay classic! Is it me or does he not remind you of Chris Martin in looks and voice!? Emmit is a great stand out with the Petersens and i would love for him to do more vocals and a great Dobro player too!!

Well I didn't expect this. As they noted this is an interesting piece of music that only shows how the Petersens aren't confined to a genre. Katie takes over the traditional violin part and Emmett has the right kind of voice and nails it. This is the reason folks follow the Petersens - you never know what will come next. And the oh-oh-oh's were magnificent!

It's good to see Emmett taking center stage and it's so wonderful how the group is truly an ensemble.

Man, that ending has me wanting an Emmett cover of Violet Hill now. That sounds like it would be amazing.

I betcha a lot of you didn't know though that G-d is part Sicilian and the true and only 'Boss' of Bosses', and refers to St Peter as "Petey 'The Fish'". A term of endearment really...of course he had to earn that title with that whole 'net making' and 'fishing' enterprise thing...and that thing with the shipbuilders union? ...well deserved to be a 'made' saint! But lets face it...G-d IS a wise guy!😁

She's got the bow out again!

just wow

The Petersens sound fantastic but if you aren't watching their facial expressions you are missing half the fun. Starting with Ellen, she looks like she is floating in the music -- like she is enjoying listening to the performance (while she is playing in it) as much as any fan in the audience. She definitely loves what she is doing. Katie is a bit more serious and cerebral in her performance and her performance is flawless . And Julianne is totally comic relief -- I can't help but laugh as I watch her face. I swear she is going to break out laughing. Look at her eyes and facial expressions during the ooo-waaa (3:00-3:15). She almost got Emmett to crack up. They must have a ton of fun "working" together.

I continue to be fascinated by their harmonies without the aid of in-ear monitors. And man, with that smile and those eyes, Katie could convince anyone to play in the key of Z! 😊
