Song of the Day: Viva La Vida

Viva La Vida by Coldplay. Released in June of 2008 on the band’s Viva La Vida or Death and All His Friends album. Viva La Vida, which is Spanish for Long Live Life, went to number 1 in both the US and UK and a handful of other countries. It was the first single by the band to top both the US and UK charts, which is kind of surprising as I would’ve thought Yellow or Clocks would’ve had a shot at that. Viva La Vida would also go on to win the Grammy’s song of the year award, which it’s probably the last actually good song to win, as the award usually goes to something I would strongly disagree with. But this one, I feel like there’s a good chance they got it right.
