Coldplay

Coldplay is an influential aspect of American popular music because they originated at an awkward time in musical history and had to find a new direction to go in. In the late 1990s, there were so many different genres and styles of music and Coldplay shaped the way that the new bands would style their music. They also didn't believe in living the Rock ‘n' Roll lifestyle, which made them much better role models for the younger generation than previous popular musicians. Chris Martin said in a 2011 interview, "I've lost all respect for fame, but I haven't lost all respect for respect. So the one great thing about being famous is that I get to meet people who I respect" (Dennis, 2011). They live like normal people, they don't drive extremely…

Coldplay has been some if my family’s favorite music since they first started recording. In particular, it reminded me of all the amazing road trips that my family and I used to go on. No matter what, there was always the guarantee of listening to at least three Coldplay albums over the duration of the car ride. With that being said, “Clocks” is one of my all-time favorite Coldplay songs. THe lyric that always speaks to me is, “ Confusion never stops, closing walls and ticking clocks. Gonna…

Deep in the heart of an ancient forest, in a magical place known as jolly old England, there lived a family of jackrabbits who were the fastest creatures in all the land. In fact, these jackrabbits could run faster than anyone in the entire animal kingdom — including the cheetahs, even — and they were quite famous because of it. Their name, most appropriately, was Quickstar. The members of the Quickstar family included a Mum and a Dad and their five children, and they were all rather…

Did you know Viva La Vida by Coldplay is about the French Revolution? It is true. The French Revolution was so significant there were songs being made about the event centuries later. The French Revolution took place in France from 1789 to 1799. The people of France revolted against King Louis XVI because France had economic, political, international, and social problems as well as an ineffective ruler. The French government could have taken action to prevent the revolution from happening such…

In “Viva La Vida” by Coldplay also shows the same message by showing the King had so much power and losing it all to being just a regular person out on the streets. In “Viva La Vida” and The Count of Monte Cristo, the writer's use of personification and metaphors conveys the idea that your destiny is controlled by the way one acts not by the will of God. Dumas, author of The Count of Monte Cristo, and Coldplay, singer/author of “Viva La Vida”, both show the good and bad sides of destiny by…

but if you were rewarded with that power, how would you use it? In the Count Of Monte Cristo by Alexandre Dumas and the song “Viva La Vida” by Coldplay, the power is very much abused. In the song “Viva La Vida” by Coldplay the lyrics express how the king’s (King Louis XVI) life drastically changed. He went from the most respected, well known, powerful, and wealthiest man to a nobody. He had everything he needed, but abused his power. Instead of thinking about the common man, and the country as…

I’d start listening to more and more Coldplay, and eventually I found really enjoyed their music. From then on I experimented with different bands, different genres, and I started to understand the power and beauty in Music. However, Coldplay wasn’t life-changing. Yes, it changes my view on music, but my entire view on life changed when I discovered Hip-Hop. At first I was like everyone, disgusted by Rap and what it stood for. I’d hear hip hop and the names Soulja Boy and Lil’ Wayne would pop…
