Viva la Vida and the new Coldplay

Coldplay's newest album

They say this new album from Coldplay is a bit experimental and a few degrees off from what they are more well known for. But I don’t care. I love this album for all its worth.

It’s single, Viva la Vida, is a dreamy song,  concocting medieval allusions and some vague political connotations in a creatively composed lyrics, making it sound interestingly philosophical without the burden of impressed urging. You don’t have to understand it, because you won’t, I didn’t, so perhaps the best thing to do is just listen to it. The chorus is catchy as ever, the music generally upbeat, and the entire experience remarkably literary.

“I hear Jerusalem bells are ringing
Roman Cavalry choirs are singing
Be my mirror my sword and shield
My missionaries in a foreign field
For some reason I can not explain
Once you go there was never, never an honest word
That was when I ruled the world..”
lalalala…. hehehe. =p

You should get the entire album. Lovely songs. Coldplay just proved themselves to be masters at their art. It’s a lot different from their past albums, but it has easily become a favorite. If you loved Viva La Vida as a song, then you’ll definitely love it more as an album.
