Hope you guys enjoy my cover of Coldplay's Christmas Lights. It came out last year around this time I think, but I've been uploading a bunch of Coldplay covers lately.

Actually the song was released on 1st December actually but your cover is really really good. I liked the idea that you played all parts of the song. Kind of...you know mixed them.
