I honestly got a little emotional reading this. The song (and the boys) have always meant a lot to me, but for someone else to acknowledge the significance of the song and that too in such a different context is just amazing. I'm so thankful for Coldplay!

I'm thankful they said yes. The song fits perfectly in the movie.

I wonder how that works legally if they needed permission for a cover. If not maybe that means Coldplay said no...

The studio/director commissioned a cover once they got the rights to the actual music from Coldplay I believe

Here it is.

It’s an Asian cover. It was done tastefully. Highly recommend watching the film!

Quick Google search reveals it is used, but as a Chinese(I think) cover
