" Viva La vida!!! Now the old king is dead! Long live the king! "
อัลบั้มนี้ เพลงมันแหวกแนว coldplay ไปนิด ออกจะสว่างสดใส ทำให้ผมละเลยไปอยู่ในตอนแรก (ตอนนั้นยังไม่สนใจที่จะมานั่งฟังละเลียดทีละเพลง)

แต่จากการท่องยูทูปจนไปเจอโฆษณาไอจูนส์ เพลง Viva La vida โดยบังเอิญ ทำให้ผมลุกขึ้นมาสำรวจอัลบั้มนี้อย่างจริงจัง (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O3mYc1m3lsM)

น่าสนใจอีกอย่างก็คือ จากการฟังอย่างละเลียด นั่งพินิจพิเคราะห์เนื้อเพลงไปด้วย เพลง Viva La Vida ดูเหมือนจะพูดถึงการปฏิวัติฝรั่งเศส สอดคล้องกันหน้าปก ที่เป็นภาพ “Liberty Leading the People”

เนื้อเพลงสวยงาม กลั่นออกมาจากมุมของพระเจ้าหลุยส์ที่ 16 ผู้นิราศจากราชบัลลังก์ไปสู่ความสามัญและการจากไปชั่วนิรันดร์

ฟังเพลงแล้วหลับตา จะสัมผัสภาพของความยิ่งใหญ่ของการออกราชบัลลังก์ (ให้ความรู้สึกประมาณในหนัง Elizabeth)
ผ่านความเปลี่ยนแปลงหลายหลาก จวบจนกระทั่งสูงสุดคืนสู่สามัญ

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


ไม่ใช่ด้วยความฟูมฟาย
แต่ด้วยความเข้าใจมันอย่างดี ยิ้มสู้ ใช้ชีวิตไป
จวบจนกระทั่งวาระสุดท้าย ที่แม้เบื้องหน้าจะ คือ กิโยติน
แต่เมื่อมองย้อนไปเบื้องหลัง
ก็จะไม่เสียใจ

Live the Life!!!

...



Viva La Vida
Coldplay



I used to rule the world
Seas would rise when I gave the word
Now in the morning I sleep 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
(Ohhh)

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
(Ohhhhh Ohhh Ohhh)

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've read all comments,that there are many way to interpret this song~ ^^ soOo..i guess i would say that, it's saying about the most and clearest parallels between Louis the XVI's beheading and the song. here are a couple ::


- the first verse: is talking about a decline from wealth and fame to a nobody.

- the second verse: "Now the old king is dead! Long live the king!" Louis became king when his grandfather, Louis XV, died.

- the third verse: (about the "key" and "closed walls") also makes sense because Louis had the key to absolute power at first,
but he eventually gave all his power away to advisers and party members, and he realized he really had no power at all. The metaphor of a castle on pillars of salt and pillars of sand reflects his indecisiveness and vulnerability all through his life as king, which ultimately led to many of his mistakes as king.

- the chorus: the images used in the chorus does correspond with the time period...

- the most clear parallel is "sound of drums". Louis XVI attempted to make a speech before he was beheaded, but apparently he was cut off by a drumline.

- the fifth verse : fits very well with Louis the XVI. revolutionaries were usually against Louis; several revolutionaries incited an attack of the Palace of Versailles to kill Louis's queen.
also, revolutionaries accused Louis of treason, and often used him as a scapegoat for things (which would explain the puppet line.)

- when Coldplay says : "St. Peter won't call my name", obviously that means that the person in the song did not believe he belonged in heaven. Louis usually was depressed and hopeless about being king, which would explain how he thought he wouldn't even be accepted into heaven.



well, theres lots of theories !!
for one thing, Viva la Vida means "Long live life"
