comment |
Viva la Vida or Death and All His Friends (often referred to as simply Viva la Vida) is the fourth album by English Alternative Rock band Coldplay, released in 2008.With Brian Eno as producer, the album marked a shift in direction for the band. Its sound featured orchestral and tribal elements, new instruments like the pipe organ and the honky-tonk piano, and the use of odd time signatures and different song structures. It also differs lyrically from previous albums, having themes of love, war and revolution spread throughout the album.The album received widespread success, becoming the highest-selling album of the year with over 10 million copies sold worldwide and reaching #1 in more than 30 countries. Critical response was also positive, with most praising the album's experimentation and change in direction. It additionally won the band their first Grammy Award for Best Rock Album.note Parachutes and A Rush of Blood to the Head won for Best Alternative Music Album; X&Y was the band's first nomination in the Best Rock Album category, but it lost to U2's How to Dismantle an Atomic Bomb.Later in 2008, the band would release the Prospekt's March EP, which includes new versions of songs from the main album as well as additional songs that that were left off. Both the original album and the EP would later be included in the album's deluxe edition.The album's Title Track is to this day the band's biggest hit in terms of commercial performance, becoming their first number-one single in the US and the UK, and is considered one of their Signature Songs. |

comment |
Hotter and Sexier: "Yes" is probably the most sexually-charged song they've ever released on an album, with both the sensual zither instrumentation and the lyrics creating this feeling. "Lhuna," which is even more explicit, was originally supposed to be on this album, but it was ultimately left off when the band felt it was too sexual. |

Sarcastic Title: "Viva la Vida", meaning "Long Live Life" in English, is told from the perspective of a disgraced king who definitely isn't living life. Some may interpret the song's lyrics to imply the king is near the end of his life. |

As the Good Book Says...: "Viva la Vida" includes biblical references; for one example, the line about pillars of salt and sand references the story of Lot's wifenote Angels told Lot to take his family and flee the sinful city of Sodom and not to look back no matter what. Lot’s wife could not resist the temptation to look back and was transformed into a pillar of salt. and the parable of the wise and foolish buildersnote The wise builder built his house on the rock, which stayed there, while the foolish builder built his house on sand, which got swept away and felled.. |

Life/Death Juxtaposition: Rampant throughout Viva la Vida or Death and All His Friends. The title translates to "Long Live Life or Death and All His Friends". The first song begins with the word "life", "Life in Technicolour", and the last song begins with the word "death", "Death and All His Friends". This fits with the album's themes of life, death, revolution, and rebirth. |

Shout-Out: The title "42", which is a nod to The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. According to Martin, the conjoining of "Lovers in Japan" and "Reign of Love" was done partly out of a want from the band to have a "two-in-one" song title similar to those of Justin Timberlake on FutureSex/LoveSounds. |

Fading into the Next Song |
| | Viva la Vida or Death and All His Friends (Music) / int_f3cf057b |
comment |
Fading into the Next Song: The album contains very subtle transitions between "Life in Technicolor" and "Cemeteries of London", and "Viva la Vida" and "Violet Hill". |

comment |
How the Mighty Have Fallen: The protagonist of "Viva la Vida" is a king that once had everything but now has nothing as he looks back on his reign and laments his fate. |

Alternate Music Video |
| | Viva la Vida or Death and All His Friends (Music) / int_ff71e36b |
comment |
Alternate Music Video: The alternate video for "Viva la Vida" is directed by Anton Corbijn, as a nod to Depeche Mode's "Enjoy the Silence", and it features Chris Martin as the king. The "Violet Hill" one, named 'Dancing Politicians' features footage dancing politicians (most notably, George W. Bush) being cobbled together along scenes of war and parts of the well known original video. |
