42 -- Music Review



When I first hear this album it was exciting to hear all the experimental sounds that Coldplay uses in this fourth album, Viva la Vida. One of the single that catches me straight forward while having only hearing the entire album for the first time was 42.

If this single were to be out and published I'm sure this single will be a big hit and could follow Viva la Vida as the the most favorite single all around the world.

The single opens by the lyrics:

Those who are dead are not dead
They’re just living in my head..

Simply mesmerizing at the first phrase..

The single opens with a slow beat.. and huuuuu huuuuu sounds, and after that an upbeat, if you see it in the video Chris switched from the piano to the guitar -- an ugly guitar -- followed by Jonny's guitar strums.. the song then went to the next level.. and sounded more like Radiohead, surely you can tell.

After i listened all the singles in the entire album, i find that this song is darker or at least equal compared to Cemeteries in London. It talks about death, ghosts and all.. but still I don't get the meaning yet.. :p

Take a look at the live performance clip of the song I gave at the top.
