What song has the lyrics hello Mr blue in it?

It's the song/psycho-rant Mr. Blue, written by Tom Paxton. It was a corner stone number of the 60's LA rock band Clear Light, fronted by Cliff DeYoung and featuring Douglas Lubahn on bass (later played session bass for the Doors after Jim Morrison died and also for Crosby, Stills and Nash) and one of the first bands to feature a full double drums. They were managed by the same people as the Doors, or mismanaged. Never made it to the starlight. They did feature a song in the Movie: The President's Analyst, starring James Coburn.

If you're into 60's acid rock, it's a nice bit of stuff. Meant to be played very loud, at least some of the songs.

What was coldplays first hit?

Their first major hit was Yellow in 2000.

Who is the leader of coldplay?

The lead singer of Coldplay is Chris Martin.

How much money does coldplay make per concert?

Chriss said in a radio interview (Howard Stern) that it costs 1 million american dollars to have Coldplay play a show. However more than half of that 1 million dallars is wasted for production, lights, etc. They make around $100,000 per concert (considering that they only do big concerts; over 20,000 people) which is pretty normal for a famous band like Coldplay.

What is the meaning of Coldplay's album cover for Viva la Vida?

Well then maybe the question shouldn't be about the album cover.

This is all great stuff. I am seeking a literal Roman Cavalry Choir tranlation of "Viva la Vida". Can any credible source answer this?

We already asked the Benedictine Latin scholars. Perhaps the "Roman Cavalry Choir" might have a different interpretation than today's Catholic scholars. "Sanctus videus" might mean "The Holy See" or to "see like God", which heaven forbid, would allow the unwashed masses in on their native intelligence.

"Viva la Vida" means "Long Live the Knowing" to the Roman Cavalry Choir. Prove that I'm/we're wrong!

Viva la Vida actually means "long live life" in its most literal translation.

The album cover is of Eugene DelaCroix's painting, "Liberty Leading the People."

A commemoration of the July Revolution of 1830.

Many of the songs throughout this album seem to be about war and revolution.

Violet Hill being the story of a soldier going off to battle wanting to know if his love loves him in return.

Viva la Vida being the story of a King who no longer holds power and is worried that his actions will cause St. Peter to not allow him into heaven.

Lovers in Japan about soldiers that must soldier on.

Strawberry Swing the character from Violet Hill is assumed to be incapacitated and is brought to by cold water. With the remainder of the song being to his lover.

The use of "Liberty Leading the People" is to represent what many of the album's songs are about; War and Revolution.

Viva La Vida actually means "long live life" in spanish. im in sanish 4 honors so i should know :)

Viva la Vida actually means "Live life"

-----------

The song seems to be autobiographical and it's about Coldplay, or at least Chris Martin specifically.

It's possibly a premonition of a time yet to come when he will look back on this period of his life, when he (and his band) were top dog(s), i.e. "when I ruled the world". He says he knows "St Peter won't call my name", possibly because he has done something, or made a deal with a certain someone from down below, as part of the fame & fortune package (aka "when I ruled the world"), and thus he'll be excluded from eternal life for a reason he is not currently at liberty to explicitly explain. It wouldn't be good PR for a start.

All the stuff about kings, and so on is just a collection of metaphors for this end-of-my-career-and-looking-back theme in the song.

Of course, I hope my interpretation is wrong as I wouldn't like anyone to trade their soul for fame for a time which, compared to eternity, is nothing at all.

What album is green eyes on by coldplay?

What instruments are used in Yellow by Coldplay?

Yellow Submarine included chains, a ship's bell, tap dancing mats, whistles, hooters, a tin bath filled with water, wind and thunderstorm machines, as well as a cash register, which was later used on Pink Floyd's song "Money".

Lennon blew through a straw into a pan of water to create a bubbling effect, McCartney and Lennon talked through tin cans to create the sound of the captain's orders, at 1:37 in the song, Ringo stepped outside the doors of the recording room and yelled like a sailor acknowledging "Cut the cable! Drop the cable!", which was looped into the song afterwards, and Abbey Road employees John Skinner and Terry Condon twirled chains in a tin bath to create water sounds. After the line, "and the band begins to play", Emerick found a recording of a brass band and changed it slightly so it could not be identified, although it is thought to be a recording of Georges Krier and Charles Helmer's 1906 composition, "Le Rêve Passe"

When the overdubs were finished, Evans strapped on a marching bass drum and led everybody in a line around the studio doing the conga dance whilst banging on the drum.

  • Ringo Starr - vocal, drums
  • Paul McCartney - backing vocal, shouting, bass
  • John Lennon - backing vocal, shouting, acoustic guitar
  • George Harrison - backing vocal, tambourine
  • Mal Evans - backing vocal, bass drum
  • George Martin - backing vocal, producer
  • Geoff Emerick - backing vocal, engineer
  • Neil Aspinall - backing vocal
  • Alf Bicknell - sound effects (rattling chains)
  • Pattie Harrison - backing vocal
  • Marianne Faithfull - backing vocal
  • Brian Jones - backing vocal, sound effects (clinking glasses)
