It’s September. I’m usually not too happy when September rolls around because it marks the end of summer with everyone back at school, but this time, September feels different. 

The weather is still lovely, and one of my favourite bands is coming this month! I’m stoked that Coldplay will be at BC Place on September 22nd and 23rd. It’s so exciting! Are you as excited as I am?

The band always seems to produce some great music, and some of my favorites are: ‘Fix You,’ ‘A Sky Full of Stars, and ‘Viva La Vida.’ I’ve already written about the first two songs, so I want to discuss ‘Viva La Vida.’ 

Even though I remember singing and dancing to it since I was a little boy, it’s still hard to imagine that it has been 15 years since it came out. Yup, you heard that right, I said 15 years. Insanity!!

I’ve always thought about this song as an ancient song that was made in medieval times. The song references “castles,” “Jerusalem bells,” “Roman cavalry,” and “Saint Peter,” so it’s easy to get those feelings. 

The song seems extraordinary and makes the band look special. The fact that all but one of their shows is sold out on their world tour proves that people worldwide think they are unique! 

Even after 15 years, this song still has the same impact it did when it first dropped. That’s powerful songwriting and rhythm at its finest.

Coldplay never fails to surprise me with their music. I will forever love and respect this song. So much music comes out each year, but there are always songs that leave a mark. This is a song that millions of people know the words to, and it will never get old.

I hope you find some time to put on some of this band’s music and truly listen to their lyrics. Words are powerful, and Coldplay proves it every time. Guitars, pianos, drums, and even bells appear in this song, contributing to its greatness. 

Thanks for stopping by as I rave about this beautiful song. Check out the music video for this song. It has a vintage feel, and I love the close-ups of the band members. Let me know what you think! Hopefully, you are lucky enough to experience them live in concert.
