The Program

Coldplay recently released their new album Viva la Vida, which has some pretty good music on it.  Personally, I think the best song on the album (from which the album gets it’s name – Viva la Vida), is the best song (which makes sense..).  Unfortunately, I’ve found that the song is overplayed to the point where it will probably be it’s death.  Not only has itunes adapted the song in a commercial of it, but my local radio stations (primarily WBRU) are playing this song multiple times a day.

Don’t get me wrong.. it’s a great song and Coldplay did a tremendous job at desining it.. but public media will kill it by overplaying it to the point where the vast majority of people get bored of it.  This also happened to their song Clocks released a few years earlier.

That said, the itunes commercial that uses the song in the background is quite captivating.  You can find a high quality version of this commercial below:
