♫ Viva La Vida

距X&Y又3年的新唱片Viva La Vida,先被第一首免費給大家download的single吸引,直到唱片未入手,但官網又攪在myspace全碟歌曲full version試聽...一聽之下,大碟主題歌曲Viva La Vida令人感覺澎湃震撼,的確不是一向COLDPLAY的曲風......大碟早前已經買回家,買了EU版,因為得紙套沒盒的原故(另外我見有LP版,現在還有機可放這種片嗎?)

在看雜誌訪問等,知道主音chris martin和隊員也認為,coldplay需要變,於是他就在mexico取得靈感,加上找來U2的監製,一起去做這唱片!!

大碟一開頭的絕音樂intro,就似是即將帶大家進步新的Coldplay世界...
全碟,令我有驚喜的作品有...Lost,Lover in Japan/Region of love,Yes,Vi
olet Hill,strawberry swing.當然不少得Viva La Vida.

這首歌,用上classic的弦樂,生動的旋律,將CD的COVER這張法國大革命背景的油畫,一起帶出了coldplay在音樂上的另一場革命!

Viva La Vida有人說是西班牙文,又有說是墨西哥文,但兩者似乎都解作LONG LIFE LIVES~ 真正意味,也許要繼續surf the net,看看有沒有由chris的正式解說呢~

Lyrics of Viva La Vida

I used to rule the world   Seas would rise when I gave the word
Now in the morning I sweep alone  Sweep the streets I used to own
I used to roll the dice    Feel the fear in my enemies eyes
Listen as the crowd would sing:
" Now the old king is dead !  Long live the king ! "

One minute I held the key   Next the walls were closed on me
And I discovered that my castles stand   Upon pillars of salt and pillars of sand

I hear Jerusalem bells a-ringing   Roman cavalry choirs are singing
Be my mirror, my sword and shield  My missionaries in a foreign field
For some reason I can't explain   Once you know there was never
Never an honest word    That was when I ruled the world

It was a wicked and wild wind    Blew down the doors to let me in
Shattered windows and the sound of drums
People couldn't believe what I'd become

Revolutionaries wait  For my head on a silver plate
Just a puppet on a lonely string  Oh, who would ever wanna be king ?

I hear Jerusalem bells a-ringing   Roman cavalry choirs are singing
Be my mirror, my sword and shield  My missionaries in a foreign field
For some reason I can't explain
I know St. Peter won't call my name
Never an honest word   But that was when I ruled the world

Ohhh ....... 

Hear Jerusalem bells a-ringing   Roman cavalry choirs are singing
Be my mirror, my sword and shield  My missionaries in a foreign field
For some reason I can't explain 
I know St. Peter won't call my name
Never an honest word
But that was when I ruled the world

Oooh ......
