I don't quite know a lot about him but his songs are always buzzing on my head, especially viva la vida. If I'm not mistaken his name is Chris Martin. In truth, before i heard the song of cold play, I preferred to listen to the songs from Linkin Park and Green Day. I guess its because the songs were cool and interesting to listen to.
Now let's talk more about the song, viva la vida. The song talks/tells of someone who used to rule the world. As previously said, USED to and now he just some nobody, who sweeps the street he use to own. The lyrics are quite catchy and the music that accompanies it is beautiful, with a blend of classic and perhaps rock (reminder, this author is not that good with music and musical terms).
Anyways the reason why i previously liked Green Day is simply because of one of their songs, wait two, American Idiot and Boulevard of Broken Dreams. Why? Firstly one of the songs, more specifically American Idiot, mocks americans, even though the artist are americans, while the second song somewhat represents a bit of my Personality, loneliness.
Well those are some list of songs and bands that I like, and i hope that you will also enjoy their songs as much as i did. But now I prefer cold play more now probably because I gotbored to listening to the previous songs.
