Reseña
El álbum Viva la Vida or Death and All His Friends, de 2008, es la obra que marca la reinvención artística más audaz y exitosa de Coldplay. Para este trabajo, de hecho, la banda decide colaborar con el legendario productor Brian Eno, conocido por su trabajo con U2 y David Bowie. Por lo tanto, el sonido del disco es una ruptura deliberada con el rock de estadios de 'X&Y', adentrándose en territorios más experimentales, atmosféricos y conceptuales.
En consecuencia, la producción de Eno es clave. El álbum está lleno de texturas sonoras, arreglos de cuerda, coros y ritmos exóticos, creando un paisaje sonoro rico y complejo. Además, la banda explora una temática revolucionaria, inspirada en la pintura de Delacroix "La Libertad guiando al pueblo" y en las historias de revoluciones y caídas de imperios.
Como resultado, el álbum fue un éxito masivo de crítica y público. La canción que le da título, "Viva la Vida", con sus cuerdas épicas y su ritmo marcial, se convirtió en un himno global y le valió a la banda el Grammy a la Canción del Año. Por otro lado, temas como "Violet Hill" o "Lost!" muestran un sonido más crudo y experimental.
Sin embargo, el disco también contiene momentos de una belleza íntima, como en la balada "Strawberry Swing". En definitiva, 'Viva la Vida' es una obra maestra, el sonido de una banda en la cima del mundo que decide arriesgarlo todo para crear algo nuevo y trascendente. Es, en resumen, su álbum más artístico y conceptualmente brillante.

[X]letra de Cemeteries Of London
At night they would go walking 'til the breaking of the day,
The morning is for sleeping...
Through the dark streets they go searching to seek God in their own way,
Save the nighttime for your weeping...
Your weeping...
Singing la lalalala la lй...
And the night over London lay.
So we rode down to the river where the Victoria ghosts pray
For their curses to be broken...
We'd go wandering neath the arches where the witches are and they say
There are ghost towns in the ocean...
The ocean...
Singing la lalalala la lй...
And the night over London lay.
God is in the houses and God is in my head... and all the cemeteries in London...
I see God come in my garden, but I don't know what he said,
For my heart, it wasn't open...
Not open...
Singing la lalalala la lй...
And the night over London lay.
Singing la lalalala la lй...
There's no light over London today. - LostVer letra 3:55
[X]letra de Lost
Just because I'm losing
Doesn't mean I'm lost
Doesn't mean I'll stop
Doesn't mean I'm in a cross
Just because I'm hurting
Doesn't mean I'm hurt
Doesn't mean I didn't get what I deserve
No better and no worse
I just got lost
Every river that I've tried to cross
And every door I ever tried was locked
Ooh-Oh, And I'm just waiting till the shine wears off...
You might be a big fish
In a little pond
Doesn't mean you've won
'Cause along may come
A bigger one
And you'll be lost
Every river that you try to cross
Every gun you ever held went off
Ooh-Oh, And I'm just waiting till the firing stops
Ooh-Oh, And I'm just waiting till the shine wears off
Ooh-Oh, And I'm just waiting till the shine wears off
Ooh-Oh, And I'm just waiting till the shine wears off... - 42Ver letra 3:57
[X]letra de 42
Those who are dead are not dead
They're just living my head
And since I fell for that spell
I am living there as well
Oh...
Time is so short and I'm sure
There must be something more
Those who are dead are not dead
They're just living my head oh...
And since I fell for that spell
I am living there as well oh...
Time is so short and I'm sure
There must be something more
You thought you might be a ghost
You thought you might be a ghost
You didn't get to heaven but you made it close
You didn't get to heaven but you made it close
You thought you might be a ghost
You thought you might be a ghost
You didn't get to heaven but you made it close
You didn't get to heaven but you oh oh
Oh oh...
Those who are dead are not dead
They're just living my head

[X]letra de Viva La Vida
[Verse 1]
I used to rule the world,
Seas would rise when I gave the word.
Now in the morning I sleep alone,
Sweep the streets I used to own.
I used to roll the dice,
Feel the fear in my enemy's 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.
[Chorus]
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't explain,
Once you go there was never,
Never an honest word.
And that was when I ruled the world.
[Verse 2]
It was the 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 want to be king?
[Chorus]
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't explain,
I know Saint Peter won't call my name.
Never an honest word,
But that was when I ruled the world.
[Bridge]
Ooh oh oh oh ooh oh [x5]
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't explain,
I know Saint Peter won't call my name.
Never an honest word,
But that was when I ruled the world. - Violet HillVer letra 3:42
[X]letra de Violet Hill
Was a long and dark December
From the rooftops I remember
There was snow
White snow
Clearly I remember
From the windows they were watching
While we froze down below
When the future's architectured
By a carnival of idiots on show
You'd better lie low
If you love me
Won't you let me know?
Was a long and dark December
When the banks became cathedrals
And the fog
Became God
Priests clutched onto bibles
And went out to fit their rifles
And the cross was held aloft
Bury me in honor
When I'm dead and hit the ground
A love back home unfolds
If you love me
Won't you let me know?
I don't want to be a soldier
With the captain of some sinking ship
With snow, far below
So if you love me
Why'd you let me go?
I took my love down to violet hill
There we sat in snow
All that time she was silent still
So if you love me
Won't you let me know?
If you love me,
Won't you let me know? - Strawberry SwingVer letra 4:09
[X]letra de Strawberry Swing
They were sitting
They were sitting
In the strawberry swing
Every moment was so precious
They were sitting
They were talking
In the strawberry swing
Everybody was for fighting
Wouldn't wanna waste a thing
Cold, cold water
Bring me round
Now my feet
Won't touch the ground
Cold, cold water
What ya say?
It's such
It's such a perfect day
It's such a perfect day
I remember
We were walking up
To strawberry swing
I can't wait 'til the morning
Wouldn't wanna change a thing
People leaving all the time
Inside
A perfectly straight line
Don't you wanna curve away
It's such
It's such a perfect day
It's such a perfect day
Now the sky could be blue
I don't mind
Without you
It's a waste of time
Could be blue
I don't mind
Without you
It's a waste of time
Could be blue
Could be grey
Without you
I'm just miles away
Could be blue
I don't mind
Without you
It's a waste of time - Death And All His FriendsVer letra 3:30
[X]letra de Death And All His Friends
All winter
We got carried
Oh
Way over on the rooftops
Let's get married
All summer we just hurried
So come over
Just be patient
And don't worry
So come over
Just be patient
And don't worry
So come over
Just be patient
And don't worry
And don't worry
No I don't wanna battle
From beginning to end
I don't wanna cycle
Recycle revenge
I don't wanna follow
Death and all his friends
No I don't wanna battle
From beginning to end
I don't wanna cycle
Recycle revenge
I don't wanna follow
Death and all of his friends
