New Coldplay Song: Viva La Vida

We've got another Coldplay track for you. No download, but you can stream the new song, "Viva La Vida," off of the youtubes that you kids are so fond of nowadays. Lots of strings and, according to s-gum, some church bells (as opposed to other types of bells). Real pretty. And the chord progression doesn't sound like all the other Coldplay singles. So, right now, it seems like Coldplay are gonna be spitting some new game for this album. Hopefully, they're not just putting forth the strongest tracks only to disappoint with later stuff. I'm sure the usual suspects will still hate it regardless, but we here at SCOPE like to keep an open mind about all music until the very end. Give it a listen while you admire the album art (which seems to match up to the song's lyrical content pretty well). Make sure to wait till the very end. The little ooo's and aaah's outro is my favorite part.
