Sucker Punched

They simply announced that they were going to play a single from some group or another’s soon to be released album. I really wasn’t listening that closely.

I can’ explain it. Perhaps thirty seconds into the song the breath was stolen from my chest and I was desperately trying to remember who the hell they said was singing. I’m lucky I didn’t run off the road or cause an accident.

There have been perhaps three or four songs like this in my life. I never see them coming, and they are seldom from groups that I’ve been following closely. This is the stuff that makes life good. Ironic the name of the song is “Viva la Vida”.

  1. I’d only heard bits and pieces of that song before, and I was intrigued. After listening to that and a couple of the other tracks on that site (from the same album), I now know what CD I want for my birthday. Thank you!

  2. They’re playing it at this very moment on XPN. I also saw it on a TV commercial last night. Methinks it might become a big hit for Coldplay. I like the instrumentation. Always had a big thing for chimes and bells and things like that. I don’t think this song even has an electric guitar, bass, or drum set in it.

    I’m hearing a lot more piano in pop music recently, too. I like the trend.
