  Coldplay是英国摇滚乐坛进入新世纪之后崛起的最受欢迎的摇滚乐队之一,他们秉承了英式摇滚乐队一贯的风格,成为了英国新一代乐队中的杰出代表。并且Coldplay乐队成军之后的每一张专辑都不断进步,一步一步地扩大他们的影响,他们正处于事业的快速上升期。受到一些摇滚先驱的影响,Coldplay乐队的成员从少年时期就拿起了乐器开始音乐表演,都来自普通的工人家庭,Chris Martin从很小的时候就开始弹钢琴,15岁开始已经混迹于各种乐队,并且得到过Tom Waits的称赞。Jon Buckland受到了Eric Clapton以及Jimi Hendrix等吉他大师的影响,从11岁开始弹奏吉他。来自苏格兰的Guy Berryman则受到了一些Funk音乐熏陶而拿起了贝司。再加入Coldplay乐队之前Will Champion曾经演奏过吉他,贝司,笛子等各种乐器,但是由于Coldplay乐队成军伊始缺少鼓手,所以多才多艺的Will Champion便成为了乐队鼓手和打击乐器的人选。
  《Viva la Vida or Death and All His Friends》 是Coldplay出道10年来第四张专辑,于2008年6月12日发行。专辑的名称来自于西班牙语,Viva la Vida or Death and All His Friends可以直译为生命万岁或死亡和他的所有朋友们。这也反映了这一专辑的主题“生与死”。专辑的封面是描述法国七月革命时期的名画自由引导人民。获得了2009年格莱美奖最佳摇滚专辑奖的奖项。这张专辑也是2008年全球最畅销的专辑。
  I used to rule the world    大千世界曾由我主宰
  Seas would rise when I gave the word 巨浪也曾因我之命澎湃
  Now in the morning I sleep alone  而今我却在黎明独自入眠
  Sweep the streets I used to own    在曾属于我的大道落寞徘徊
  I used to roll the dice  凡人生死曾由我主宰
  Feel the fear in my enemy's eyes  尽情品味惊恐在死敌瞳孔绽开
  Listen as the crowd would sing:  欣然倾听百姓高歌喝彩:
  "Now the old king is dead! Long live the king!"   “先王亡矣!新王万代!”
  One minute I held the key  此刻我手握权位经脉
  Next the walls were closed on me  转瞬才知宫墙深似海
  And I discovered that my castles stand  恍然发现我的城池
  Upon pillars of salt and pillars of sand  基底散如盐沙,乱似尘埃
  I hear Jerusalem bells are ringing  听那耶路撒冷钟声传来
  Roman Cavalry choirs are singing  罗马骑兵歌声震彻山海
  Be my mirror my sword and shield  “我的剑盾,明亮可鉴!”
  My missionaries in a foreign field 我的传教士屹立边疆之外
  For some reason I can't explain  只因一些缘由我无法释怀
  Once you go there was never,  自你离去,
  never an honest word  逆耳忠言便不复存在
  That was when I ruled the world  而这便是我统治的时代


  It was the wicked and wild wind  凛冽邪风呼啸袭来
  Blew down the doors to let me in  吹散重门使我深陷阴霾
  Shattered windows and the sound of drums   断壁残垣礼崩乐坏
  People couldn't believe what I'd become  世人不敢相信我已当年不再
  Revolutionaries wait  起义大军殷切盼望
  For my head on a silver plate  有朝一日我站上断头台
  Just a puppet on a lonely string  恰如傀儡随吊线寂寞摇摆
  Oh who would ever want to be king?  悲哉,谁又曾渴望万人膜拜?
  I hear Jerusalem bells are ringing    听那耶路撒冷钟声传来
  Roman Cavalry choirs are singing    罗马骑兵歌声震彻山海
  Be my mirror my sword and shield  “我的剑盾,明亮可鉴!”
  My missionaries in a foreign field  我的传教士屹立边疆之外
  For some reason I can't explain    只因一些缘由我无法释怀
  I know Saint Peter won't call my name   我亦知天堂之门不会为我敞开
  Never an honest word  逆耳忠言从未存在
  But that was when I ruled the world  但这却是我统治的时代
