an incredible song to play live, the dynamics are arranged with sophistication, the climax at then end is superb to head bang / fist pump to; this song has the essence of rock at its very core. ROCK ON
Believe it or not, I used this song to put my son to sleep when he was few months old, I just put his head on my shoulder and pretty much dance slowly, worked everytime, so another good memory associated with Coldplay.
remember being right at the front at this, still hadn't bought X&Y so this was the first time I heard this song. Instantly loved it....had been waiting for Coldplay to write a song like this for years!! :) don't remember the crowd standing that still though :P
@jprg12 true, viva la vida contains some shitty songs though... dont get me wrong, violet hill, strawberry swing n stuff are awesome but the old ones are better imho...
@elefantkaputt I personally think Viva la Vida was a very experimental and creative way to go in the area of song writing and song producing. Granted---Rush of Blood is my favorite album by them, but Viva la Vida feels very "outdoorsy"
Its not about the difficulty of the song, its about how all of the basic tunes and melodys flow together with one of the best singing voices ever along with fantastic lyrics to make the great music that Coldplay dose.
@mickecoldplay new album is all shit compared to the old coldplay im looking forward to the album coming out this year because it will be an acoustic based album
@mickecoldplay because it fits in with the crowd i bought the album because im a coldplay fan i mean im only comparing it i feel like this viva la vida is an art project where as the others where stadium fillers with maybe the exception of parachutes.
I think he gives each song exactly what they need. The song structures don't call for anything of the nature of a Copeland or Peart. An excellent timekeeper is usually what most pop music needs, for a drummer to play outside of that just to make what they play look more difficult can ruin the song. Rush songs have plenty of space for the complicated fills as do Police songs.

Compared to the X&Y version, Chris' vocal on this is weak. He wouldn't make it past the judges on American or English Idol singing like this. But the instrumental performance is killer.
Coldplay has so much wisdom in their lyrics compared to other bands...they are brilliant... "You see the world in black and white, no colour or light...the sky could fall could fall on me, the parting of the sea...but you mean more mean more to me than any colour I can see" This is HOPE, do not let the world put a label on you or stick you in a box. We are worth far more than that. Thanx for the video.
throughout the whole glasto 05 performance he was vocally on fire. I can just imagine the high they must have been experiencing as this was their first huge performance of the whole new album (x&y) other than an mtv preview performance a week or so earlier and at glastonbury aswell. spectacular
X&Y has always been my least favorite Coldplay album and this song was my least favorite of the whole album. Then I was driving the other day and the "I feel low" part popped into my head so I put the CD in and listened to this song. Now I might have to say it's my favorite Coldplay song.
i kinda see a resemblance then. it's the hair and that cute dorky-boyish look. but now that Guy cut his hair, i really don't see the similarity anymore
One of Coldplays best songs in my opinion.. The difference between coldplay and all other bands is coldplay reflects the life of the common people in their music,,,, Maybe RADIATS IS A BETTER WORD!!!awsome inspirational tunes

THE BEST ALBUM X&Y 2005 COLDPLAY
no cave duda que a lo largo este es el mejor disco de coldplay
MUY BUEN DISCO nunca me canso de escuchar mas que nada estas canciones suenan a un ROCK PSICODELICO suenan a U2 y ECHO AND THE BUNNYMEN
con VIVA LA VIDA se calleron espero que para su proximo album 2011
saquen un disco tal como este mas rockero sonido ACHTUNG BABY de U2
