Viva La VidaColdplay
A song that portrays a historic turning point continues to move our hearts even now.
Released by Coldplay in 2008, this track sings of revolutionary change from the perspective of a fallen king.
The striking strings and digital piano brilliantly capture lost glory and an unbearable fate.
Chris Martin’s affecting vocals vividly depict the transience of power and the frailty of humanity.

CaliforniaPhantom Planet
This is the song that was used as the theme for the American TV drama The O.C., which also aired in Japan in 2006.
It was right around the time when foreign TV dramas were becoming popular, so I imagine many of you watched it.
The chorus line “California, here we come,” delivered with a powerful yet somehow wistful voice, is especially memorable.
