Normally, if someone would tell me that there is a YouTube video of some senior citizens singing a Coldplay song, I would probably laugh like crazy at something that sounds so idiotic. However, if you go here, you will get the opportunity to see such a thing. There's a group out there called Young At Heart, and they learn all kinds of rather "modern" songs, from Sonic Youth to the Ramones, to...Coldplay.
The man who sings the song suffers from congestive heart failure. It was supposed to be a duet, but the man who was supposed to sing it with him passed away before this performance. The deceased man's family is in the audience. The words to the song take a somewhat different meaning for me now that I've experienced this.
I think it might be one of the most beautiful things I've ever seen.

Damn it Adam...I didn't feel like crying tonight. It's been a long two days.
FTR...their version of "I Wanna Be Sedated" is great.
I love that song and that story touches my heart...especially today.
Thank you for sharing that.
