Viva La Vida Coldplay Cover

PLEASE RATE THIS VIDEO THANKS :-) Viva la Vida" (directly translated from Spanish as "Live the Life") is both the second single released from and the co-title cut to the English alternative rock band Coldplay's 2008 album, Viva la Vida or Death and All His Friends.

The song was used in an advertising campaign for Apple Inc.'s iPod and iTunes Store while Coldplay performed the song live for the first time at the 2008 MTV Movie Awards. Anton Corbijn is set to direct the music video for the song.

Unlike the typical arrangement of Coldplay songs, in which the piano and/or guitar dominate, "Viva la Vida" mostly consists of a string section playing the song's upbeat riff, along with a steady bass drum beat, bass guitar, electric guitar and Chris Martin's vocals. The string section with a combined with a common genre is similar to composed pieces by Brian Eno, who is one of the producers of this song.
Above From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

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 enemies 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

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 know there was never, never an honest word
That was when I ruled the world

It was the wicked and wild wind
Blew down the doors to let me in.
Shattered windows and the sound of drums
People could not 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?

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
I know Saint Peter won't call my name
Never an honest word
And that was when I ruled the world

It has been exactly 4 months to the day that I did my last cover, busy living life I guess. This song inspired me as,as I hope it will you as well.

At all who have written this stupid comments: I think it's better to upload videos like this than any videos where people are drinking masses of alcohol and do stupid things like pissing out of windows. This is what Youtube is made for!

To be honest I think he sings and plays great!

[lolbagindabox]

Stop with you'r lame comments! damn kid, this is what youtube is about, peoples want to upload videos! maybe the original version with coldplay is a bit better yes! but you did a great job! :)
