The record of yet another series of moments when the beauty of the Earth and the human race rises up and takes your heart with it. The Creator made the world and the entire universe for moments exactly like this. And gave you a ring side seat.
Coldplay - Paradise (Peponi) African Style (Piano/Cello) Cover - The Piano Guys ft. Alex Boye "On a whim we decided
to back away and take an entirely new approach to the song—an African approach. It may seem random in retrospect, but at the time it was an exciting way to restart the arrangement. It was working, but our journey still was on foot until we called in Alex Boye, one of the most talented people we've ever met. Alex has this contagious energy that gave new life to the song and to us. He sings the tune in 4 different languages: Swahili, English, Yoruba (his mother's native language), and Alex's own African "scat" (we'll call it...Scafrican) =) Most of the words you hear are translated from the lyrics in the original Coldplay Tune."
[Back from January because.... because... because it is more than worth it.]

Posted by: Cliff at January 15, 2012 12:57 PMOne of the best musical offerings in years. This was so wonderful that I listened to it again and again and again, and then looked up Alex Boye and the Piano Guys. Could this be the Year of the Mormon? I hope so.
Posted by: nlmoss at May 22, 2012 3:17 PMWonderful! I've heard it many times and it's one of my recent favorites. In appreciation of your kind offering, I in turn offer

I bet I've played this video 30 times since I found it here this morning. Downloaded the song, pasted vid on Facebook, and emailed the link all over the place.
