Don't know if you know this but there is a new Viva La Vida Depeche Mode tribute video that I think is better than the first video. I have it on my blog at http://www.3amjosh.com as well as a cover that some of the students I work with got to do in front of thousands of folks. Let me know what you think of the new tribute video

That's what Coldplay have said!, I can't wait to see it...

Here's what we have so far (Thanks everyone!): "Viva la Vida" [Verse 1] 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 [Chorus] 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 yo…

what are the differences between the radio edit and the album version? didn't realise hearing it hundreds of times on the radio it was any different to on the album???:shocked2:

Finally the video of Viva la Vida is out. It looks awesome! Does anyone know the exact CD release date of this single? Amazon.com has listed it but the date keeps changing... Is it real that the only B-side will be Death Will Never Conquer? Will iTunes release a digital bundle of this song? With B-sides and video? Thanks.:lol:

Yes, I'm 100% sure it was vlv. I put on the tele on 'The music factory', a dutch music channel, and I saw the last 5 seconds of the video. Chris was sitting down on stage, sang the last sentence while those butterfly paper thingies were falling down. The song just got in on 'the super chart'. So does Holland have a world exclusive or what?? Maybe its not even the official vid but...it sure looked like it was. No fancy music video with a story in it I guess =[

Hi guys (and ladies). Here Just for you the new covers of the German Single. Don't know if the french retail will be different or not (Release date on 11th August). If you have any question, send a msg :cool:. Have a nice day :kiss: Front: Back: PS: The CD is still sealed on the picture cause I have one extra CD.

The vocal harmonies at the end of the song? Does anyone have the sheet music for this bit?? Sounds so cool!!!

Well, I think it goes without saying that if Coldplay is not invited to perform at the 2009 Grammys (as they were for the 2003 and 2006), then there is something fundamentally wrong in this world. That having been said... I find it pretty likely that, over 42, Violet Hill, and Lovers and Japan, I would both most like to and expect to hear Viva la Vida as their performance. Remember back in 2003, when they performed Politik with the New York Philharmonic? That was just a song that had a string track playing in the back... as Viva la Vida is actually string-based, wouldn't it be amazing to hear them with a full orchestra? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P54iLHkrtPA

Coldplay vs. Timberlake: Viva la sexy back / MASHUP

I gotta say, on some parts looks like uhhhh, but this guy did a awesome job mixing the VLV commercial with the Violet Hill Music Video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9FQVG-KYFyQ

did the french legend post it?

does anyone know what keyboards Chris and jonny use live for Viva La Vida? i want one lol

Does anyone know what type of instrument Chris is using to make the beat . If so can you please know let me know and if so where i might be able to get one. Thank you very much if you can help.

i though it was about the french revolu but that doesnt make sense and creeky boards siad it was about the crusades so what exactly is it about!!!!!!!!!:thinking:

does anyone else think this song would sound AMAZING done acousticly?! I think it would be amazing!

anyone agree?? U2 did it with Vertigo. I should play this song right after LIT, then end the concert with it again for an awesome finish!

I don't know if this has been mentioned before but.... I discovered that "Viva la Vida" has exactly the same chord progression that "J'en ai Marre" from the french pop singer Alizée........ :cry: and that's very sad for me because that girl really sucks :angry: I'm not saying that Coldplay "stole" the song from her, but the fact is that both songs are very similar (well.... let's accept it: they're almost the same! the strings, the feeling of the song, and many things more....) DOWNLOAD J'en ai Marre and listen by yourself

Hey Guys, I'm not a huge Coldplay fanatic but I really love Viva La Vida, and I can't get over how cool the iTunes commercial is. So I was browsing on here and came across some awesome pictures and decided to make some wallpaper. It might be a little big for you since I have a widescreen resolution, but let me know if you like it. Thanks, DJ Laine

Hi everybody. One question....like you probably know VLV entered in Us hot 100 singles at #15 after taking #6 in Us digital sales....At this time have VLV had the #1 in Itunes??? It fell to #41 this week but with the Itunes commercial it was #2 in itunes Is the single selling more this week and will enter billboard Hot 100 top 10? --------------------------------------------------------------------- And Violet Hill that is #8 2 consecutive weeks in Uk Charts will do better and reach any place higher?

Great news but it stills don't chart in uk singles chart? why??? even Lost that is not a single charted!!

Hey I just found this cover of Viva on YouTube and I think it is amazing so I thought I'd share.....for the life of me i cannot figure out how to post the actual video...so here is the link. sorry :-( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GmBRBAuMmoU&feature=related

I'm still in love with this song, even after hearing all the others on the album. This is me just singing the song without any music, I added a few vocal twists to it as well. Hope you like... BTW, it was recorded with an MP3 player, so if the quality isn't up to your standards (decent), my apologies. If I screwed up any of the lyrics, I also apologize for that. If you enjoy it and want me to do sing any of the other songs off the new album let me know... Thanx all!:) Heres the link. http://media.putfile.com/Viva-la-Vida-Acappella
