This is the last song on the album Viva La Vida. The first song of the album begins how this song ends. So if you think about it, if Coldplay was trying to send a message through that, its that with every end, theres a beginning. ^_^
the escapist part gives me chills. Powerful emotional lyrics need to be in more music today. Its sad to think ke$ha gets more attention than coldplay. The world of music is completely backwards sometimes
I love this song, the music...awesome. My favorite part is the music at 2:22...I get chills when I hear it and I want to start crying because I feel like there is still hope for this world and all of us in it. I feel like I'm flying.....
Chris really has an amazing ability to write powerful beginnings and ends. This song is classic. This album is classic and aside of radio heads in rainbows, helped me through hard times.
'The life in technicolor' and 'The Escapist' make a great circle.... like... neverending song..... alpha and omega... begining and the end.... you know.... believe album Viva la Vida is a symbol of life as it is..... or even better....
Coldplay is one of my favorite bands of all times. This song specially is the work of craftsmen: every detail so carefully considered that just leaves you amazed, without words, but at the same times free of all worries and problems. When I hear a Coldplay song I know everything's gonna turn out allright.
Please, watch this fan made video for an amazing song by Coldplay:
@fantasy14azure i think wat he meant was dat they dont go and show off by releasing their songs as singles but sorta 'hide' em u know....im not exactly sure is dat wat u mean? :S
I love this song sooooo much... it helped me get through a really rough time last year when a close friend abandoned me.. it was very important to me to be able to forgive her and be free from bitterness, but I didn't know how... but this song helped me understand forgiveness a little better, and helped me realize I really didn't want to follow death and all of his friends by cycling and recycling revenge. <3
My Top 10 Favorite Coldplay songs ever: 1. The Scientist 2. A Rush of Blood to the Head 3. Lovers in Japan (Osaka Sun Mix) 4. How You See the World 5. Viva La Vida 6. Fix You 7. Strawberry Swing 8. 42 9. Shiver 10. Life in Technicolor ii
My top ten of viva la vida: 1. strawberry swing 2. lovers in japan 3. viva la vida 4. death and all his friends 5. violet hill 6. lost 7. 42 8. cementeries of london 9. yes 10. life in technicolor COLDPLAY is the best band ever!
My Top Ten (From Viva Album): i. Death and All His Friends ii. Violet Hill iii. Viva la Vida iv. Lost! v. Lovers in Japan vi. Life in Technicolor vii. Cemeteries of London viii. Yes ix. 42 x. Strawberry Swing I didn't listen to some of them for a while... *puts iPod on shuffle... with only Coldplay songs*
my top 10: - death and all his friends - viva la vida - strawberry swing - life in technicolor - lovers in japan - lost - violet hill - lost - cemeteries of london - 42
Top 10 Viva-tracks: - Viva la Vida - Death And All His Friends - Strawberry Swing - 42 - Life In Technicolor - Lovers In Japan - Yes/Chinese Sleep Chant (!!!) - Lost - Violet Hill - Cemeteries Of London
I think the chant at the apex of "Death and All His Friends" is actually the following: "No, I don't want a battle from beginning to end/I don't want a cycle of recycled revenge/I don't want to follow death and all of his friends!"
i so many people who listen to the first minuite and skip it coz they think its boring, but after 1.20 its so brilliant x x x x i love coldplay soooooooooo much
Yes, the first part is called "death..." then the little part coming next is "the escapist" Coldplay hide some songs into the "VIVA LA VIDA" album, for ex: "Yes" hides a song called "chinese sleep chant"
A lot of people just listen to the begining and think it's boring, but you have to listen to the whole song to get the full meaning. And once you do, you fall in love with it.
brilliant album.
