It'a great song, and it's the only Coldplay song I like.

Dispelling such reports, Ambrosia Healy, spokesperson to Capitol Records, sent an e-mail message to that there was no self-imposed hiatus.

Coldplay used French revolutionary costumes during their as a reference to the album's revolutionary themes and English record producer produced the album. Coldplay moved to 'The Bakery', after finishing up their Latin American Tour, building a studio there. The songs written during their time at the studio are lyrically 'much more abstract, much more visual than before', and musically 'less straight-forward, more oblique'. Additionally, Martin wanted to make a vocal transition from his trademark to a lower. This is explored in 'Yes', where the main characteristic of the -inspired song is the lowest vocals Chris Martin ever recorded - this was suggested by the producer, to make every single song sound different. The band's drummer said in an interview for: 'One of the main things we tried to focus on with this record is changing vocal identities, because Chris has a very recognizable voice.' Coldplay sparked an interest at influences after having recorded in churches and in Spanish-speaking countries such as in in North America and in Europe, such as.

The article was signed 'Prospekt', strengthening rumours that this would be the album's title.

Champion followed with, 'We just preferred to have less titles and more stuff. The album as a whole has got the most on it, but it’s the shortest.
We wanted to make it almost impossible for you to not listen to it all in one go.' In addition, vocalist revealed that the band had always wanted a song title which was two in one. He added that the reason for having two titles in the track listing of Viva la Vida or Death and All His Friends was due to American singer-songwriter doing it for his last album, (2006).

He said the album featured less as he allowed his voice's lower register to take precedence. Some songs, such as ', contain distorted guitar and bluesy undertones. The album contains an array of different themes such as love, war, and revolutions.

Chris Willman of magazine rated the album 'A-' and called it their best album, while Alexis Petridis of, however, wrote a mixed review explaining ' Viva la Vida 's mild tinkering with the formula represents a failure of imagination: perhaps it's hard to think outside the box when the box is the size of the Las Vegas MGM Grand Garden Arena.

Will Hermes of magazine wrote that 'Coldplay's desire to unite fans around the world with an entertainment they can all relate to is the band's strength, and a worthy goal.

The band's triumph lies in how exciting they make that prospect seem'.

When asked about the song in an interview with Q magazine, Coldplay bassist Guy Berryman explained: “It’s a story about a king who’s lost his kingdom, and all the album’s artwork is based on the idea of revolutionaries and guerrillas. There’s this slightly anti-authoritarian viewpoint that’s crept into some of the lyrics and it’s some of the payoff between being surrounded by governments on one side, but also we’re human beings with emotions and we’re all going to die and the stupidity of what we have to put up with every day.
Hence the album title.”. 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 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 salt and pillars of sand I hear Jerusalem bells a ringing Roman Calvary choirs are singing Be my mirror, my sword and shield My missionaries in a foreign field. For some reason I can't explain Once you go there was never Never an honest word And 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 couldn't 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 a ringing Roman Calvary choirs are singing Be my mirror, my sword and shield My missionaries in a foreign field.
