Quote:
“Critics were very positive in their reviews of the song. In the Entertainment Weekly review of the album, critic Chris Willman wrote: "Take the title track ... on which [Martin] imagines himself as a paranoid monarch. 'Who would ever want to be king?' Martin asks. 'Revolutionaries wait/For my head on a silver plate!'. The confident majesty of the music, however, belies how he and his bandmates have invigorated their rock-lite reign." Josh Hathaway from The Plain Dealer noted "Viva la Vida" as the "catchiest" song on the album. Chris Jones of the BBC noted: "The string/brass mutations that bolster a track like 'Viva La Vida' ... conjure tunes so sweetly melancholy." In the IGN review, critic Chad Grischow wrote, "It is their one and only foray into unabashed orchestral pop, but the punchy strut of the strings and fantastic marching vocals make it far too charming and lively to dislike, and even harder not to love."
I dont understand what this song is about? But the melodic structure >>>>.. Baffled why this was #1 when they have many other more tracks that are far more better
I went from absolutely hating it, to liking it, to loving it, to overplaying it, to once again hating it, to have a fight with my ex with it as background song, to liking it again, to forgetting it for two years, to liking it again because of my enemy saying he doesn't like it, to overplaying it again, to hating it, to deleting it from my playlist, to forgetting it, and now, seeing it here and realizing how dumb I was to not put it in my list. Basically, I know no one will care what I just wrote so never mind. Perfect slot tho.
