[单曲]Viva La Vida

酷玩乐队资料 乐团成员: 　　主唱：Chris Martin　　吉他手：Jon Buckland 　　贝司手：Guy Berryman　　鼓手：Will Champion 　　从Coldplay的歌曲中经常能体会出一种忧郁的感觉，这是因为主唱注入了无限伤感情绪的原因，动人的嗓音唱着温柔的旋律。 　　Coldplay由四个二十岁出头的年轻小伙子组成，1996年时在UCL（University College London）四人相遇，两年后决定合组此乐团。 　　1998年4月在Chris同窗Phil（日后成为Coldplay的经纪人）的帮助下发行了仅500张的“Safty”限量EP。之后他们就开始了漂泊的音乐生命。同时他们也参加了业余乐团比赛，更由于这些公开表演的机会，使他们得以受到英国知名独立摇滚厂牌Fierce Panda的Simon Williams的高度赞誉，并进一步在Fierce Panda发表了单曲“Brothers & Sisters”。不久Coldplay便被Parlophone相中签约旗下，于1999年10月推出EP“The Blue Room”。 　　2000年在英国推出了他们的首张大牒《Parachutes 》，并且在推出之后成功登上了英国排行榜的榜首，凭借这张大牒，他们获得了3项Brit Award（相当于英国的格林美颁奖典礼）的提名。 Viva La Vida试听请点击 http://www.douban.com/subject/3040149/audition?v=1053&i=535483&url=http%3A//un.9sky.com/vplayer/Default.aspx%3Fmusic_id%3D535483%26site%3D151%26md5%3D6243542b2ebb965b9f3ca59cf97ebfd0 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 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 salt and pillars of sand I hear Jerusalem bells a ringing Roman Cavalry 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 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 Cavalry choirs are singing Be my mirror my sword and shield My missionaries in a foreign field For some reason I can’t explain I know Saint Peter won’t call my name Never an honest word But that was when I ruled the world I hear Jerusalem bells a ringing Roman Cavalry choirs are singing Be my mirror my sword and shield My missionaries in a foreign field For some reason I can’t explain I know Saint Peter won’t call my name Never an honest word But that was when I ruled the world Oooooh Oooooh Oooooh 下载地址：  http://download.hotmusic.cn/2008/07/288010_200807202142061.mp3下载地址：http://music.170.com/Music/2008/20/2/xf/2008060501163942058.mp3
