This is part 2 of an earlier post where I discovered that there were quite a few Richard Amitage fans who were also fans of the music of Coldplay.
If you haven't seen the original post (which was recently updated with a new fanvid for Spies) please click here.
The first fanvid up for your enjoyment is to the song Violet Hill. The lyrics start with:
Was a long and dark December,which seems very appropriate for the current month. It also fits well for the opening scenes of Thornton's mill in North and South with all the cotton flying around like snow.
From the rooftops I remember
There was snow
White snow
The next video is from the short-lived television series The Golden Hour. I made reference to this video in my comments in part 1 of this post. This is a private video on Vimeo but you will be able to watch it if you enter the password (which is supplied for you) into the box.

The next three videos are by the same vidder and all are from the Robin Hood series. Liisakee is definitely a Coldplay fan as I had a couple of her videos in the Coldplay part 1 post.
Lost by Liisakee
Strawberry Swing by Liisakee
Liisakee's last one is only for real Robin Hood fans. There's not enough Guy in it to satisfy most RA fans, but if you enjoy the song and keep your eyes peeled you will be rewarded. As she states in her note headed by *please read* the song was picked for its faster beat and doesn't really follow the lyrics. But as she also says: "Coldplay + Robin Hood = Epic Win"
Speed of Sound (Robin Hood Season 3) / by Liisakee
Here's a Coldplay song I wasn't familiar with. That's what I love so much about fanvids. I have learned so many more new songs this way!
What If? / by Ganamona
This next video is based on a plot by Rosfan (I am guessing a fanfic?). It imagines a deeper relationship between Ros and Lucas from Spooks in which they have both been deeply affected by the bomb in the series 7 season ender. The song used in the video is Life in Technicolor (which is rather ironic since the video is all in black & white). I also enjoyed the camaraderie of these two and every scene they shared very much.
"Fallout" (Lucas/Ros) / by JulietD001
The Scientist is the music for the next video by the same vidder. It is from series 7 Spooks about the way Lucas North is yearning for some sign of love from his ex-wife Elizaveta. It is really heartbreaking to watch Richard Armitage's portrayal of Lucas North's desperate attempt to connect with her as he is so coldly rebuffed.
Tell Me You Love Me? / by JulietD001
This vidder uses the sadness of the song 42 to help portray
Lucas North's character for series 7.

The song Trouble seems perfect for the character of Lucas North in Spooks.

I am always interested to see more RAfanvids to Coldplay songs. Let me know if you find some that aren't in my Part 1 or Part 2 posts.

Hi Phylly,
Not sure if it has been mentioned, but RA is a fan of Coldplay himself. :)
Lovely original posts. Hope all is well with you.
@Mulubinba - If I knew that then I must have forgotten. Thanks for mentioning it, and for stopping by! :)
Wow, what a great collection! Will be linking to your post in mine today, just wanted to let you know!
I only heared about Coldplay because of fan-videos, but I am very impressed by their music and the well-fitting lyrics, now.
@jazzbaby1 - I am honoured! Thank you so much!
@CDoart - I was a fan of Coldplay before RA but there are many other groups I have discovered because of fanvids! That's why I love them so much (besides the fact that RA is in them)! :)
