The dareberry of the day is a song – you might have recognized one of the lines of this song in the title of this post.

Today i will do something i have never done before, i am going to dedicate this dareberry to someone. Mihail, this dareberry is for you:)

It’s a song i love and have been listening to it over and over again for weeks. I am masmarized!

There are so many meanings behind the lines of this song and though it speaks about falls and deceptions the orchestration feels so positive.  I am talking about “Viva la Vida” by Coldplay.

Some say it is the story of the a painter who went through many tough things and once she painted a wall in her house and the painting was called “Viva la vida”, other say is about Louis XVI and the French revolution, which is also on the cover of Coldplay’s album, others say is about the fall of Napoleon, others say it’s about Bush, some others say it speaks about the fall of Christianity and how catholicism is not so appreciated as it used to be. Whatever the case, the lines are so full of meanings and for each person, each line might mean something else.

Even though i know quite some stuff about the French revolution and the history of Europe, and read a lot about religions, not so much about politics, for me this song has a special meaning, a particular one, that is valid only for me, and this is why i love this song so much.

Today’s dareberry is – listen to Viva la vida by Coldplay and figure out its meaning for yourself:)
