Viva La Vida -- I love History



Have everyone wondering why I put Piano picture on the top of my Blog?
Oke that's because I love playing piano (not that I am too proud of) but .. it's just my hobby...
Since I already moved to Jakarta again (noted: only can play piano loudly at my Jakarta's house) right now I intensely play Coldplay's "Viva La Vida"..
And wow!!!

The score was not that difficult, but I am Very very impressed of the Lyrics!
After hearing the song: it was very patriotic score with historical lyrics of the " Man " who has ruled the world.
It was really reminds me of my beloved hero: Napoleon Bonaparte.
Well, despite of the tirany he was. I only could imagine the "Man who rule the world" is Napoleon ---very Iconic.

I used to rolled the dice, feel the fear of my enemies' eyes
Listen to crowd would sing: Now the old king is dead long live the king

That's very Napoleon! he used go to war and war with the neighbor country. To fullfil his dream United Europe with French as a capital. Until the ruler of the neighbor country was fear of the napoleon troops or only the word: napoleon
Also when he crowned as a king. The people of French just forgot the Revolution dream of no Kingdom authority, but automatically accept it.

One minute I held the key, next to wall was close to me
And I discovered my castle stand upon pillar of salt and pillar or sand

It seems this describe Napoleon power was fading out...people around him betrayed on his governance, and French people just tired of his devotion onto war and more war.

But the spirit of rule the world nicely explicit at the Reff:

I hear Jerusallem's bell are ringing Roman Cavalry choirs are singing Be my miror, my sword and shield My missionaries in the foreign field

Very romantic how to describe my Napoleon Spirit...
Not that I agree of the war concept, I just miss a leading person who has big dream,
dare to take a risk for his/her country..
