COLDPLAY TO RELEASE HIGHER POWER FRIDAY MAY 7TH

Coldplay’s brand new single, Higher Power, has today been confirmed for release on Friday, May 7 via Parlophone / Atlantic.

Said Coldplay on Twitter: “Higher Power is a song that arrived on a little keyboard and a bathroom sink at the start of 2020. It was produced by Max Martin who is a true wonder of the universe. It’s out on Friday 7 May. Love c, g, w & j”

The announcement confirms fan rumors that have circulated since last week, when cryptic billboards around the world pointed to a mysterious website called alienradio.fm.

Fans managed to decipher the letter-like symbols to uncover the song title and release date.

The track is available to pre-order / pre-save on streaming platforms, from here.

I hope Coldplay will see it..
Hi, I'm Dario. 😊
I love to listen your songs and you are amazing. I don't have much things that I want in my life,
but one of them is to go to your concerts. I'm just a student from Croatia and I don't have that
much money to do it because I'm just 19 years old. I can't say I'm poor because everyone who I love are healthy and happy so yea,
I accepted it that maybe I won't be ever able to attend your concerts. Right now, when I'm writing
this I feel that a tears comes to my eyes, honestly, I'm scared a little bit because when I grow up
maybe you won't do concerts anymore, but thanks for your music and with all the love of this world,
good luck with everything in life! Btw sorry for my English.

The Viva La Vida (song) meaning thread!

Hi everyone, sorry for being a couple of decades late to the party! 😅 I am an Italian school teacher, and I’ve only recently started improving my English.
Today, during our end-of-the-year staff meeting, the principal made us dance to Coldplay’s “Viva la Vida” while the English lyrics were scrolling on the interactive whiteboard. I was completely stunned staring at the words, which I had never truly analyzed before. Once I got home, I reflected deeply on what the meaning of the song could be, and it seems to me that the common interpretation people give is completely different from what now appears obvious to me.
The lyrics talk about a fallen king: at the beginning, he speaks of his past power, but the core of the song, in my opinion, is when he says he used to hear the crowd singing, "Now the old king is dead, long live the king!" right before speaking about that very same crowd wanting his head on a silver plate, and how during his reign there was never an honest word. It’s a reflection on the nature of temporal power, human hypocrisy, and fickleness.
I paused for a long time on the line: "Be my mirror, my sword and shield, my missionaries in a foreign field." These words didn't seem to fit well with the rest of the text until I had an epiphany: these words are being sung by the Roman cavalry choirs, which stand in direct contrast to the words sung by the crowd when the old king died. The Roman cavalry represents God's army, chanting hymns.
When he was king and ruled the world, that was the time when there was never an honest word. But now, he feels a calling—the salvation that comes from God. This is why he doesn't care about the past anymore; he doesn't look back like Lot’s wife, who turned into a pillar of salt. And that is why the song is called “Viva la Vida” (Long Live Life).
The king realized that worldly power means nothing, that it is just dust. What truly matters is God’s mercy. The Jerusalem bells are the bells of salvation. Falling from the throne is not a tragedy; it was the way the king could finally hear the voice of God and be saved.
As for the line stating that the fallen king knows Saint Peter won’t call his name, it means that this man will keep on living. A long time will pass before Saint Peter calls him. Saint Peter won't call him anytime soon, granting him instead the chance to live a long life of atonement and Grace, a life in which he can truly thank God for the gift of life.
