Formada el 17 de mayo del año 1998 en Londres, está conformada por el vocalista, pianista y guitarrista Chris Martin, el guitarrista Jonny Buckland, el bajista Guy Beeryman, el bateristaWill Champion y Phil Harvey. Coldplay consiguió reconocimiento internacional con la publicación de su álbum debut, Parachutes.
Viva la vida or death and all his friends es el título del cuarto disco de estudio de Coldplay. La portada de su último album es el cuadro del pintor romanticista Delacroix, La Libertad guiando al pueblo.
Esta obra es el máximo representante del espíritu revolucionario del siglo XIX, realizado por el gran maestro de la pintura romántica decimonónica francesa. El gusto por el arte de esta banda de rock queda también patente en el título del albúm y es que su nombre procede de un cuadro de la pintora mejicana Frida Khalo.Es por ello que he elegido el título de su disco para darle nombre a este blog.
Os dejo el video clip de uno de sus éxitos, en él podéis leer la canción traducida al castellano.
I used to rule the world
Seas would rise when I gave the word
Now in the morning I sweep 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 sand, 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
(Ohhh)
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 will call my name
Never an honest word
And that was when I ruled the world
(Ohhhhh Ohhh Ohhh)
Hear Jerusalem bells are ringings
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 will call my name
Never an honest word
But that was when I ruled the world
Oooooh Oooooh Oooooh"
