THE ALEXTHEARTISTE JAM OF THE WEEK: "VIVA LA VIDA"

COLDPLAY "VIVA LA VIDA" (LIVE AT THE VMAS)

OK maybe I'm on a bit of a Coldplay hype. Can you blame me??? When I first heard "Viva la Vida" on an iTunes commercial, I was instantly all over it. With a strong drum beat and Chris Martin's cool voice, you can't help but move to it. (I'm still trying to put my finger on it, but I think what makes his voice so great is that it's gentle, soft, fragile and soothing to the ear.) After some research, I also found that "Viva la Vida" has become Coldplay's most successful single; I guess I'm not the only one on the hype.
