Coldplay Viva La Vida Song

Coldplay Viva La Vida Lagu

"'Viva La Vida' soars in with a grandiose instrumental arrangement and sweeping lyrics detailing the pain of being deposed from a lofty position. The big sound of the song constantly verges on becoming overblown, but Coldplay knows how to walk the tightrope perfectly. Bells and chimes and orchestral swells are all there on the chorus, but Chris Martin's voice still pierces through like a clarion call. Lyrically, the pain of the protagonist is clear, but the sweep of words about Jerusalem bells, Roman Catholic choirs, and Saint Peter give 'Viva La Vida' an air of intelligence rare in today's most popular pop songs."
