 My favorite song for 2008! October 5, 2008
I was not a fan of Coldplay in the past even though they had hit songs. But when this song came on the radio last week, I loved it. There are not many songs you will like in one shot and usually people like songs after listening to it twice or three times but this song wasn't. Great song.
I'm in LOVE with the production. September 16, 2008
The orchestration is awesome in the beginning. Chris Martin's voice is used in a catchy way and the upbeat vibe to this song is total sweetness!
4.25 stars.

It is so hard to believe that Coldplay is still making really good songs this past decade, heart and soul. After the mammoth success of songs like Speed Of Sound, and the recent haunting and dark Violet Hill, Chris Martin and the boys still know what they are doing, and this latest single shows no signs of slowing down. Their latest single, the title track from their 4th album Viva La Vida, really brings in a nice mix of orchestral and pop worlds, which blend in pretty nicely with the song. I really like the feeling of this song through Chris and the boys, because it is simple, and doesn't feel like it is honestly as flimsy as who is hot right now like Miley Cyrus and The Jonas Brothers. While the song isn't as dominant as their earlier songs, it still shows that Coldplay is still on track. I hope their next single is as good, or even better than this.
Song: B 1/2-

Viva La Vida - Live the Life July 15, 2008

A song with a Spanish title ('Viva La Vida' is literally 'Live the Life' in English.) based on a Spanish painting of the same name.
It's accepted meanings range from Napoleon and the French Revolution to Jesus Christ. Quite a range.
This is one of those songs that I can listen to over and over again and not get sick of (very quickly) and is in my opinion the best song on the album and in my top 20.
As with the rest of the album it is a departure from Coldplay's other work and incorporates orchestral, sweeping themes and tells a story of an apparent loss of power and the lament that follows. The song utilizes a certain Imperial age military beat and when combined with stirring lyrics and voice work it has a semi-epic feel which lifts the spirit, despite the melancholy theme of the song.
