Albumul este cu atat mai special cu cat sursa de inspiratie vine din zona artei, mai precis dintr-o pictura a artistei mexicane Frisa Kahlo. Dupa zece de ani de paralizie, Frida a pictat un tablou pe care a insscriptionat mesajul "Traiasca viata!". Tablou are ca tema centrala celebra Revolutie Franceza.
Primul extras pe single de pe noul album este "Violet hill". Veti putea remarca si in cadrul materialului video motive ale revolutiei, iar versurile vin sa completeze ideea de eliberare.
Versuri Coldplay - Violet hill
Was a long and dark December
From the rooftops I remember
There was snow
White snow
Clearly I remember
From the windows they were watching
While we froze down below
When the future''s architectured
By a carnival of idiots on show
You`d better lie low
If you love me
Won`t you let me know?
Was a long and dark December
When the banks became cathedrals
And the fog
Became God
Priests clutched onto bibles
And went out to fit their rifles
And the cross was held aloft
Bury me in honor
When I''m dead and hit the ground
A love back home unfolds
If you love me
Won''t you let me know?
I don`t want to be a soldier
With the captain of some sinking ship
With snow, far below
So if you love me
Why`d you let me go?
I took my love down to violet hill
There we sat in snow
All that time she was silent still
So if you love me
Won`t you let me know?
If you love me,
Won`t you let me know?
