This song is basically to Coldplay what "Pop Is Dead" is to Radiohead: the unequivocally bad early single that diehard fans somehow feel obligated to defend.Ī forgettable, piano-driven track for the “The Hunger Games: Catching Fire” soundtrack.Īnother by-the-numbers Ghost Stories track with awkward auto-tune and electronics.īad xx song, unfortunately par for the course for Ghost Stories. Martin can be romantic, but here the feebly-delivered sexual references ("your body on my body" etc) are just kind of uncomfortable to hearĢspooky4me, poor opening for the otherwise good Viva La VidaĪ misguided b-side to "God Put a Smile Upon Your Face"Īs bland as it's title implies - "Things don't always turn out as you plan/These are things that I don't understand" - you probably haven't heard this "Speed of Sound" b-side and aren't missing much. The closest Coldplay ever came to self-parody. Bad lyrics, slow pace, predictable climax. There's nothing wrong with a crowd-pleaser, but how this became a mainstay and one of the band's biggest hits is beyond me. Same as above, but slightly less embarassing Painfully soppy X&Y track with embarassing lyrics I removed a couple transitional instrumentals and early demos and included every unique album/EP/B-side track that I know about and actually ended up with exactly 100 songs. I actually really don't like a few of Coldplay's biggest hits and think that a lot of their deep cuts (insofar as a band like Coldplay has deep cuts) are unfairly overlooked.
The song was played to the crew of the Space Shuttle Atlantis to wake them up on day two of mission.I've listened to Coldplay for a long time and decided to rank their songs. It has sold over 5 million copies in the United States, becoming only the second song by a British act to reach this milestone.

"Viva la Vida" reached the top spot of the UK Singles Chart and Billboard Hot 100, becoming the band's first number-one single in both the US and UK. Coldplay performed some of the song live in The Simpsons episode "Million Dollar Maybe." The song was released on 12 June 2008 as the album's second single, debuting to critical and commercial success. The lyrics to the song contain historical and Christian references, and the track is built around a repeating string section with a percussion background.

It was written by all members of the band for their fourth album, Viva la Vida or Death and All His Friends (2008), and was released as the second single from the album.
