The song's Spanish title, "Viva la Vida", is taken from a painting by 20th-century Mexican artist Frida Kahlo. The song won the Grammy Award for Song of the Year at the 51st Annual Grammy Awards in 2009 and has sold over 9.44 million copies worldwide. "Viva la Vida" reached the top spot of the UK Singles Chart and Billboard Hot 100, becoming the band's first number-one single in both the U.S. The track was released on 13 June 2008 as the album's second single, debuting to critical acclaim and commercial success. The lyrics to the song contain historical and Christian references, and the track is built around a looping string section in unison with a digitally processed piano, with other layers gradually being added as the song builds. It was written by all members of the band for their fourth album, Viva la Vida or Death and All His Friends (2008).

Hearing this track now.hasn't moved on very far has it? This track could have been on "Flying in a Blue Dream" or "The Extremist".10 years ago.This article is about the Coldplay song. I knew all the stuff up to crystal planet (if you were a satch fan, I think that much would be obvious.) but I think I got bored some point after that. It's interesting.that's obviously a more recent satriani track (ie last 5-6 years). It is a little bit on the cheesy side, as far as melodies and chord progressions go.I like the orchestration on the Coldplay song though. Thanks psycho_monk! INo probs.string sound is just down to the mixing and blends I guess! Michael Brauer's kind of known for being a bit good at that sort of thing.although there are other mixes of the song which are equally good in my opinion, if different. However, how did they get the strings so nice and nice sounding? Is the overall sound of the CD a result of how the industry is treating it's cutomers? Great mix! I'm not a big Coldplay fan (and I actually like the music on their previous records better) but overall I think the songs, production, and mixes are very nice on this record.ĭid Coldplay copy Joe Satriani? Well. Do I think the way the record was mixed and mastered make it sound awful? Most definitely not.īack to the original topic, I think a lot of the strings sound great! The title track sounds amazing to me. Would I have liked it if the record had a little more dynamic range? Sure would. I don't particularly find the way the record sounds to be "a joke." I know I couldn't have done a better job, but that is besides the point. I'm starting to get the the feeling that it is now "in" to bash mastering engineers and/or records that perhaps could have benefitted from not being as loud. I've only heard the record a few times through but it sounds good to me. The song writting? Well that is a discussion for another thread.Don't know what the problem is. How about re-releasing the CD with some dynamic range? I don't know but in the end the release sounds awful and I think a talented engineer in a modest studio could have put out a better sounding product. That may be completely the fault of the mastering stage or it may have been submitted to mastering that way. What is a joke to me is the fact that with all the money, gear and engineering talent behind that CD it sounds like crap.
