This is the most wondrous video I've seen in a while. I love the song "Viva La Vida" by Coldplay - so much so, that I have one copy in my car and one in my house because my kids love it too. This version, done by New York City's PS22 Chorus (all public school fifth graders) is just gorgeous.What you will notice though, is not just how great it sounds, but how so into it they are! They are shaking their heads as they are singing, smiling, just totally in the moment and their love of the song practically glows from them.
Their rendition even got the attention of Coldplay, who mentioned it in their fan newsletter - see it here.
Without further ado, enjoy the PS22 Chorus version of "Viva La Vida:"

It's wonderful! " "This is when life made sense. I'm glad these kids still know what the essence of living is...."
Adorable, happy kids - thanks for sharing a great video!
