- In hindsight I wish I asked a couple more questions about the upcoming album but a girl was nervous and not prepared. But if anything this entire experience was the perfect of example of closed mouths don’t get fed!
Thank you so much for your time and being so kind Chris Martin and Phil Harvey. I will never forget this!
As always thank you so much for watching!

Thank you all so much for the kind words and for watching! Really really appreciate every single one of you! ❤
I'm seeing all the comments saying this should be a series and I'm working on it!!
So dope
thats great work, you were ready and willing, did not give in to the feelings of fear or skepticism
No joke, felt like I was back in 1995! So ‘natural’ ‘free’ ‘warm’ and ‘earthy’ - you MUST interview/interact with him again but for longer. Same format, same camera same everything- don’t change a thing!
You never know what is possible unless you go and shoot your shot
Mooie oorbellen ! 🤩
This video feels like what UA-cam used to be. What it’s supposed to be. Thank you 😭
It definitely feels the way it used to and it's not just the camcorder quality! It's just raw, unstaged, perfectly imperfect. 🥹🩷
Well put
like the videos when casey neistat couldnt afford his camera
Thank the algorithm. I really do feel like UA-cam back in 2013.
This comment was such a reality check.
this has the vibe of those youtube's algorithm hidden gems from 2008
So true! I miss that time.
This could so be the start to a legendary interview series. Camcorders parks & musicians.
Framing this comment. Thank you!! ❤️
yes please 🙏🏻
Agreed
Agreed- Raw and real- rare these days
Would be so nice
"Everything else is just noise" *trumpet starts playing*
Love how you kept the interview very respectful and asked thoughtful questions and just let him speak without interrupting
Sounded a bit like Radiohead's national anthem😂

The timing and reflection. Wow! There's something really going on, as there are no accidents. There's no perfection. Only right now!
What a gem this guy is. Spontaneous interview in the park right before a rehearsal and he's calm, focused, thoughtful, and kind. And then surprise Dutch skills?? Kudos to you for taking your shot for the interview.
No joke, felt like I was back in 1995!
Yes! I said that quietly to myself then I saw this! A "time shift" type of interview.
truuueee
It’s the spontaneity. Nowadays, even people who are not celebrities plan their content to an extent that the world feels forced.
This is synchronicity. You guys were meant to bump into each other. Much love
@@RandalC-hy5keRandal, you’re never it
1000%
…or providence?..
I love how your questions are very different from what interviewers normally ask
really?
She seems genuinely intrigued about what she is asking-- it's awesome!
@@MostlyLoveOfMusicwell , most of the interviews spent days on preparing questions so as an instant instinct they’re very interesting questions
Because it was a geniune conversation.
This was very cool!
I’m so impressed that you managed to ask him better questions than most interviewerrs without any preparation whatsoever. Well done, this was wonderful 👏
Doesn't surprise me that Chris agreed to the interview. He always seems like such a genuinely nice person. He's one of only a handful of recording artists/actors that I'd like to meet.
I love how chris knows how to speak multiple languages
He studied Greek and Latin at university! What do you expect, he is Chris Martin! ❤
North American,
@@ion7701 huh?
I'm just being silly by saying that he speaks North American as well as English, as if it where a different language, which of course it isn't. 🙈 I have failed in my attempt to be funny.
@@ion7701 I liked it bro never change
The down to earthedness of Chris Martin is unrivalled compared to other artists
I'd say Ed Sheeran is up there
Kanye too
This is an excellent, real, uncontrived interview. Brilliant questions. Chris Martin is rare. I love the gentleness of his voice and the depth in his answers. There is an authenticity that he brings into everything. I love that he took pleasure in seeing a black squirrel scamper up a tree. There’s nothing ostentatious about him. He’s Chris Martin. He’s in a band. He likes to write and sing. He likes to walk. He thinks the world should be a loving place. Sagid…well done. Thank you for sharing this with us.
You must be an author. Perfectly worded lol 🎉
He was spotted just getting off a train and photo bombed him, said hello, went on his way he just is normal...love him and the band...good catch girl! If you don't ask you don't get..loved your mini interview..
And respect for keeping your word on the time limit. You kept it short and sweet. Respect.
You know this is edited right?
@@FSHBand there you go, you just couldn‘t let a positive comment be left alone, what an inspiring positive fun person you must be…
@@djami0123 funnier than you for sure
@FSHB I have doubts about that
@@FSHB can’t argue with Grandiose delusional disorder so far off of reality. pulling people down rather than lifting them up will get you far, i’m sure of that …not!
the trumpet starting when he started talking about distracting noise???? I love the universe
I love the rawness of the video. It has "first ever UA-cam video" vibes and that says something about yourselves and Chris Martin; everyone involved in this is pure and authentic. I was shocked to find this happened four days ago and not a decade ago at least. Great job, guys.
Videos in 2005 definitely didn't have jump cuts, background music, subtitles or edits at all. That my friend, is real authenticity.
omg this is insane 😭 chris seems like such a kind soul & he exudes such tranquility…
such a refreshing format, the spontaneity of the interview in a park feels very humanizing. especially since he took time out of his day to sit and chat
I’m glad you listened to your voice and went up to him and asked if he would talk with you.
I love that with just 5 minutes you managed to think of awesome original questions and were able to just let it flow into a wholesome moment, amazing job! ❤
Gem of a guy and that’s why people love Coldplay. Irrespective of what opinion one may have for their music, they always try to spread kindness. That’s the most beautiful thing about them.
Chris is so friendly and his willingness to learn multiple languages shows his passion for people, across all cultures. So fun thanks for this!
This is how to do an interview. It's like 2 friends chatting
Been following the band since 2003. This is such a pleasant confirmation of his character. Small or large setting, he is the same.
Chris is so chill and kind. His music really reflects the kind of person he is
I love your confidence. Most would be starstruck and unable to even compose a thought in their head, but you went and did an improv interview with a high calibre musician. You should be proud of yourself! I hope to see more content from you, particularly an interview series!
I was afraid to watch this video because I hate people who approach stars on the street when they're “off duty”, but you were so respectful, kind, and your questions were relevant (more relevant than some asked in formal interviews 😂). Good luck in your career, I wish you all the best!
You were so natural, no nervousness showing at all, like every day thing happening. What a delightful video clip. Congratulations from the UK. Chris Martin is an amazing song writer, frontman of the best most popular band right now, and takes life with very humble attitude.
I love the sort of lo-fi 2007-2008 youtube vibe, no fancy camera, no fancy editing, no mics, the band in the background is kind of louder that you two... but for some reason it works so well 😂❤
UA-cam showed this to me. This is amazing! He seems so cool and down to earth.
this is one of the nicest pieces of media i've come across all week, good luck on your journey Sagid!
This is lovely. Just two people talking, exchanging questions and thoughts. Unproblematic :)
That was a moment that happened! I have never seen a black squirrel before, and Chris is talking about noise then the music starts and plays over them the rest of the video. It’s a great moment that I really like sharing in as a viewer. 😊❤
He is so down to earth and accommodating of his time! And you are very courageous in trying your luck at interviewing him. What a chance of a lifetime!
He's doing what he loves and I'm loving what he's doing. what a genuine dude
Love this, great interview. I kind of hope it doesn't spark a trend though, I can't imagine how difficult it must be to do a world tour and how constantly tired you must be. I hope it doesn't become an expectation that musicians stop and talk to everyone they see.
I really love how conscientious and respectful of Chris's time you were.
4:46 He says "ellebogen" (elbows), a reference to a funny song they made in 2002, 'Mooie Ellebogen' 😆
I THOUGHT he said ellebogen but it didn’t make sense to me. I thought he mispronounced Oorbellen (earrings) somehow that made more sense to me haha. Thank you for clearing that up!
Sagid, this was really special. Thanks so much for listening to your inner voice and running after him. Then sharing it with us. It was lovely to watch.
Very best wishes to you.
Adam (Sheffield, UK)
This is so cool! The spontaneity of this video is so lovely. The camcorder footage is a chief's kiss.
Chris Martin has to be the sweetest celebrity ever ☺️
Yeah goody goody , too much sometimes
You listened & that gave Chris time to talk...a lot of folks pepper an artist w/questions...so this showed Chris being Chris in this particular situation, & that was wonderful. I enjoyed how you engaged him. Thanks for asking for the interview➡that was you being you❣
I love the rawness of this video, shaky low res video, candid setting, unrehearsed and unplanned questions. Just two humans interacting.
This guy is just pure awesomeness. Coldplay is one of the few things in the world that makes you feel like the universe is all united as one.
Omg, I just fell in love with Chris Martin all over again!!! What an amazing, humble guy!
One of my favourite videos I’ve ever seen in my life. Just brought up so much hope and childlike love in me. Maybe it’s the camcorder vibes too, but it helped me to remember that ‘anything is possible’ belief we all had as a child. And also Coldplay is just such an iconic part of my growing up too.
Thank you. Subscribed. Haha
You made my day! I just love Chris Martin, he's so natural, sincere, modest and insightful. And I love his music and hope to watch him at Wembley Stadium next year with my daughter and granddaughter - three generations of Coldplay fans! (aged 77, 49 and 18) Thank you! 🥰
This is one of the most heartwarming videos I’ve watched in a while. Just two people connecting on a human level. Chris seems like such a genuine guy, we need more good-natured people like him. What a lovely interview, I’m glad you mustered the courage to ask him! I wish you well!🤍
I’m not even a fan of Coldplay or Chris Martin, but he seems like a genuine nice guy. And you did so well! Kudos to you both.
How polite and chilled he is. Very lucky 🍀 guy good soul good instincts.
Great artist and human being that’s nice and I never said this before
Loved this. Simple short interview. Got a bit of his essence and heart. Short and sweet. Loved it.
The most efficient and insightful inverview ever with Chris. Great question to ask!
This is absolutely amazing, you may never know when the opportunity comes to meet someone extraordinary. With an open mind, honesty and mutual respect, world seems like such a wonderful place to be in. I loved your interview, questions you asked, the tranquility of the moment, the humble camcorder. Thank you so much for sharing such a cool moment, hope you continue to grow, be well and good luck.
What an absolute epic response at 2:14.. absolutely lovely
Mega props for shooting your shot and being so present. Amazing questions. Love Coldplay and Chris, thanks for capturing this!
Same energy, same vibe, much love and peace in this video. Loved it. ❤ congrats for hearing your inner voice and shoot your shot, we need more of that like a Chris said, it’s noisy out there. That was supposed to happened... just-like-that. Like damn, last day in NY, you go to the right park, sit in the right bench at the right time, you asked him for the interview after he casually ask you about what you were doing, they figure out a way to do it with no zoom needed, Phil turns to the camera exactly in the right moment and you even got live background music 😂 and Chris at the end with the compliment in your language... wow!
What an incredibly *nice man Chris is; always having time for people - just five minutes of his time made all the difference for you both.
He has also allowed on stage to play the keyboards too.
Way, way back in November year 2000, I had a job interview at BBC Radio 2, as their Music Administrator. At the job interview, I was asked by the panel interviewers what new bands I would recommend, and, straight away I said: "Coldplay, because they're going places."
And, now look where Coldplay are now all these years later.
I love how he talks about us having a creative voice and taking the time to listen to it :)
Brilliant! Just that soul level connection walking around in the flow and attuned to what feels yes. Totally pure and authentic and present. My kinda synchronicity. Thank you all! Keep up the synergy...
You listened to the voice that said “go for it? What’ve you got to lose?!?!” You go girl!! So happy for you!!!!! ❤🙌🏽
If you showed me this video without the date, I would have thought this was filmed in the 2000s. The nostalgia of an old camcorder is unreal
This was refreshing, simple, humble, and most important you are a great reporter!!
Keep doing what you do. You inspired hundreds of people already. 🎉🎉🎉
wow honestly amazing, well done for taking your chance with him and also being very respectful of his time. Very lovely interview
If you want to understand Coldplay (and make peace with their chosen music route) this short interview is all you need. Thanks for uploading
THIS RULES. Such a magical and fresh interview moment in the history of rock and roll.
Chris is such a gentleman, how lovely!
Such a genuine down to earth guy. So nice to see.
Great interview! You’ve got all us Coldplay fans swarming just for 5 minutes of quality interview footage with Chris 😁❤️
Beautiful interview. You both took a chance and communicated, and you got a bonus with the incredible music playing in the background. Life is Magic! Just step into it. Intuition is a gift from the cosmos.
I'm so happy that this Young Lady took such a wise opportunity to Interview With Chris Martin, IN THE MIDDLE OF WASHINGTON SQUARE, WHAT!!!? awesome 😎❤
You’re so lucky to have met at that exact moment! The park, the sun, the people, the squirrel… everything was beautiful!! And thank you for asking such great questions! Love this interview ❤
Amazing video, having that fear of rejection and doing it anyway always opens doors, congrats on the great interview!
That was very lovely - and such thoughtful questions to ask, especially when you only have five minutes. Just perfect. Thank you.
This guy is at peace with himself, he knows the power of his art without pride. Chris is a true role model.
excellent natural interview...from the both of you ...thanks for taking your chance to ask Chris for a impromptu interview 🙏
The more I learn about the band (Chris, in particular) the more I love them.
Wat een geweldig leuk interview! Respect dat je hem toch hebt durven aanspreken en dat je in zo’n korte tijd een prachtig interview hebt afgelegd!
Wow great interview Sagid, well done!! You're a natural 👏
Your first question and Chris' answer brought tears to my eyes. I think this may be the best interview I've ever heard. Thank you to you, your boyfriend, to Chris, and Phil.
This video reminds me of “me at the zoo” and the early days of UA-cam. The spontaneity of this interview and lack of excessive cuts and graphics/effects make this feel like such a breath of fresh air.
Omg I love Chris Martin even more after this. Ugh, he's so kind. 🥹💕
Oh wow! Wow!... What special 5 minutes in a life-time! Beeeautiful to watch!... A loving, concious, heart led encounter between two beautiful souls! Reminds me of those "simple" and yet unique wildlife moments photographers catch, like a fresh dew drop on a leaf, reflecting the sun rays for a few seconds and then this moment is gone, but will be forever infinitely precious. Love it so much, thanks for sharing! 🙏💖✨
Kudos to him for being a good guy and kudos to her for using her initiative !
I've been struggling with the exact thing lately, deciding whether to channel the external 'noise', suffering when they sometimes drive me to a place of negativity, while also well aware that estranging myself as an artist could be detrimental in terms of creative progress. Chris's dialogue about listening to your inner voice is powerful and so straightforward. Just like in the other interview, based on my memory, where he encouraged people to focus on doing what they believe is the right thing to do, to keep spreading love and following morals. Thank you for capturing this beautiful moment of exchange, and thank you for reminding me of what I should try to do. In the world where hatred generates so much noise, I wish that heartwarming words like these could protrude right through and shine brighter.
Oh such an amazing short interview. And lucky you! Also Chris is so lucky to have such an amazing interview, short yet full. He seems to have a beautiful soul.
Chris Martin is just the sweetest guy ever. Period.
Love his "moon music" sweater in sign language
Such a honest and pure interaction love it. Phenomenal job 🙌🏽👏🏽
Great interview. Synchronicity at work here.
A great intuitive journalist in the making and as ever, a beautiful human being in Chris Martin👍👏🎶🙏💖
This was the BEST thing I’ve seen in a while!
This was just wholesome.
Well done!
Probably the best interview ive ever watched! I loved his answers , i think listening to that inner voice (which i call the holy ghost) is so vital and critical for our lives! Thank you for those 5 minutes!
OMG this is amazing. I hope this channel blows up and you keep using this camera with this vibe, so cool.
This was so cool 😍Chris is the best!
Truly speechless seeing such an amazing and wonderful interaction, how crazy is it that you were in the right place at the perfect moment.
You were great and you did a beautiful interview.
watching this meant everything. i’m an artist and since middle school, coldplay has been one of my biggest inspirations. his inner voice advice really resonated and i’m gonna keep going! ☺️
Impromptu just fun easy and relax .. what a beutiful day to spent at the park. Also Chris is a very humble person genuine down to earth .
This video needs to blow up so Chris Martin can see this 😅
Wholesome vibes.
Love how casually he dropped some clean Dutch!
Wow you are so lucky and you were very kind. Love Coldplay and their new album and the message they spread of love, peace and unity. Chris Martin is Earth's treasure. ❤
