Coldplay plays live 實況演出


最近這段時間，是我歌單 "英搖-Brit-Rock" 大復辟的瘋狂時刻，浪潮般的衝擊！
手邊所有的英國團也好非英國團也好，每個聽起來都美妙到不行～
偏偏coldplay又出了這張新輯，個人認為將是他們迄今最精彩的一張作品
怎麼說呢? 多元的氛圍就是大贏X&Y，雖然說都很棒啦！但是弦樂與合成音效和鋼琴的鋪陳就是比較爽
而且看到那個封面就讓我整個情緒澎湃起來～Viva La Revolution! (這完全是因為Dragon Ash!)
總之，等我好好聽完這張專輯，再來認真推薦吧！

從專輯的第一首演奏曲開始，就暗示了我的腦袋，準備瘋狂愛上這張專輯吧！
如同曲名所揭示的"Life in Techicolor"，開頭來的就是一連串的合成音效....
背後的鋼琴與碎拍隨即帶出充滿復古風味的吉他音線！Bravo！！
當鼓聲和BASS猛然加入時，為整首歌曲展開新面貌，而後製的朦朧音效也讓專輯多了些神秘的感受

而在正統酷玩曲 "Cemeteries Of London" 的La!La!La!La!之後，加了一段精彩的鋼琴
有點像是舞台劇的過場，隨即出現的是電子琴聲和猛烈的鼓擊，還有一聲聲的鼓掌聲～
那就像是歌迷們在演唱會場，一邊鼓掌一邊右腳踱地的節拍！
這讓我想起了宇多田演唱會上的一首經典曲目～哈哈～很精彩的對照！
別以為 "Lost" 這首歌就這樣結束，曲末的吉他和類似管風琴般的琴聲不可錯過！

"42" 的開頭是慢版小品，在這裡用上了以往三張專輯中，比重沒有佔的那麼大的弦樂
但中段曲風一轉，又再進入電吉他和重節拍的鼓擊攻擊，而Chris的嗓音迷幻依舊～
中和掉不少強烈曲風的格格不入，給予一絲絲的詩意和柔情

再來是讓我印象超深刻的推薦曲 "Lovers In Japan-Reign Of Love"
BASS的鋪陳和電子琴的輕快，讓音符批哩啪啦地在你耳邊流逝～
而Chris高亢的聲線則漂浮在飛快的音樂背景中，然後電吉他猛然出現，在左耳處怒吼！
我無法想像，若能在現場聽到此作品的演出，會是一件多愉快的事情，我確信自己會擺動到忘我就是了！
PS.文末影片是他們在阿姆斯特丹的現場演出，前面有一段MC請包涵！

請容許我直接跳到專輯同名曲 "Viva La Vida"
你知道，我真的是太愛那些弦樂和怦怦砰的定音鼓，讓整個情緒都激動了起來
看看現場的表演，Chris也活繃亂挑的唱著這首曲子！我想，也許是因為這首作品太流暢太High
讓我覺得這張專輯給我的感受實在有別於前作，歡樂，行進，暢快，愉悅和猛烈的攻擊再攻擊！
總之這首歌，大大推薦！

PS.布X克兄弟，你們如果給我惡搞coldplay的話，我會殺了你們！


coldplay - Viva La Vida

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 enemies' 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 castle stands
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'd gone it was never,
never an honest word
That was when I ruled the world

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 wanna be king

I hear Jerusalem bells were ringing
Roman Cavalry choirs were singing
Be my mirror, my sword and shield
My missionaries in a foreign field
For some reason I can't explain
I know St. Peter won't call my name
Never an honest word
But that was when I ruled the world

Bridge:
Whoaaa (x4)

Bridge and Chorus mix:
(Whoa...) Here Jerusalem bells were ringing
(Whoa...) Roman Cavalry choirs were singing
(Whoa...) Be my mirror, my sword and shield
(Whoa...) My missionaries in a foreign field
(Whoa...) For some reason I can't explain
(Whoa...) I know St. Peter won't call my name
Never an honest word
But that was when I ruled the world

Oooh Ooooh Oooh Ooooh... (until fade)


Lovers In Japan-Reign Of Love

Lovers, keep on the road you're on
Runners, until the race is run
Soldiers, you've got to soldier on
Sometimes even right is wrong

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 are gonna get out

Tonight maybe we're gonna run
Dreaming of the Osaka sun
Ohh ohh...
Dreaming of when the morning comes

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

Ooh...
