2008. When I bought Viva La Vida at Sunrise Records in Conestoga Mall in Waterloo, that initial instrumental track was sooooo uplifting and shimmering! I felt it demanded a full song treatment and wouldn'tcha know, we got the double album version a little later with just that

They need to play rare songs more often. They have so many great songs that they could pick their setlist out of a hat and it would always work.

I agree! We need to hear songs like Moses again but I think by this point they've forgotten how to play that one, haha. Moses was exclusive to the AROBTTH tour back in 2003.

@@deusvmachina Yeah I'd love to hear Moses again. And Ladder to the Sun. I also love it when they reinvent songs, so hopefully they start doing that with popular songs.

Always thought that they should pick 2 or 3 songs that either they've never played live before or haven't performed live for so long in every venue they decide to play. Like say they play in 3 different cities next year and in each one they play 3 songs that are not massive hits like example: City #1: Amsterdam, Prospekts March, Glass of Water City #2: Spies, Talk, Always in my Head City #3: Politik, Trouble, White Shadows. That'd be so awesome in my opinion. And it also would make every colpdlay concert unpredictable, because you won't know what new songs they will be performing

Viva La Vida is Coldplay’s magnum opus, that’s my personal opinion and I don’t think it’s ever gonna change. The album means so much to me, and was my introduction to Coldplay, I liked their singles before but I listened to Viva La Vida from start to finish, it was and still is fantastic.

Lyrics🎶💫✨ [Verse 1] Lovers keep on the road you're on Runners until the race is run Soldiers, you've got to soldier on Sometimes even the right is wrong [Hook] They are turning my head out To see what I'm all about Keeping my head down To see what it feels like now But I have no doubt One day we're gonna get out [Verse 2] Tonight maybe we're gonna run Dreaming of the Osaka sun Ohhhh ohh, ohh... Dreaming of when the morning comes [Hook] They are turning my head out To see what I'm all about Keeping my head down To see what it feels like now But I have no doubt One day the sun will come out
