感谢读者留言告诉我又有新的iPod广告上线，最近在折腾我的MSS+，差点忘记跟大家说说这件事情-。-
看到留言的瞬间我就冲到iTunes商店。第一件事情当然是买下这首歌，第二件事情就是去掉DRM然后放到iPod广告歌页面上让大家可以下载到。顺便说一下，要是你拥有一个iTunes音乐商店的帐号，你可以每周下载到免费的音乐两首。如果不愿意每周去看的话，可以订阅这个叫做FreeTunes的Feed。
这支广告的推出，我个人觉得跟去年11月的Mary J. Blige广告一样，都是因为出了新专辑而且独家在iTunes上发售。根据个人的统计，凡是登上了Apple广告的音乐都会大卖：从2007年11月的Feist - 1234开始，到今年年初的Yael Naïm - New Soul。不过大牌明星总会拥有特殊的照顾，比如：Eminem，Bob Dylan，Paul McCartney，Mary J. Blige和今次的Coldplay：）
音乐评价暂时不写，因为只听了十几遍-。- 我现在只能说，标题是西班牙文，用法文来说就是“Vive la Vie”，用中文来说就是“生命万岁”-。-
歌词如下：
I used to rule the world
Seas would rise when I gave the word
Now in the morning I sleep alone
Sweep the streets I used to own
I used to roll the dice
Feel the fear in my enemy's eyes
Listen as the crowd would sing:
"Now the old king is dead! Long live the king!"
One minute I held the key
Next the walls were closed on me
And I discovered that my castles stand
Upon pillars of salt and pillars of sand
I hear Jerusalem bells a ringing
Roman Cavalry choirs are singing
Be my mirror my sword and shield
My missionaries in a foreign field
For some reason I can't explain
Once you go there was never, never an honest word
That was when I ruled the world
(Ohhh)
It was the wicked and wild wind
Blew down the doors to let me in.
Shattered windows and the sound of drums
People couldn't believe what I'd become
Revolutionaries wait
For my head on a silver plate
Just a puppet on a lonely string
Oh who would ever want to be king?
I hear Jerusalem bells a ringing
Roman Cavalry choirs are singing
Be my mirror my sword and shield
My missionaries in a foreign field
For some reason I can't explain
I know Saint Peter won't call my name
Never an honest word
But that was when I ruled the world
(Ohhhhh Ohhh Ohhh)
I hear Jerusalem bells a ringing
Roman Cavalry choirs are singing
Be my mirror my sword and shield
My missionaries in a foreign field
For some reason I can't explain
I know Saint Peter won't call my name
Never an honest word
But that was when I ruled the world
Oooooh Oooooh Oooooh
