Coldplay Concert, Munich, 29th August
We’ve been Saturday the 29th of August at the open air Coldplay concert in Munich. (This is a postponed post;-))
The concert was great!
During one of my favorite Coldplay’s song “Yellow” (You can hear it here: http://www.last.fm/music/Coldplay/_/Yellow) big yellow balloons were thrown over the public.
Also later thousands of coloured paper butterflies were blowed to the crowd.
The fireworks were nice and the play between video and music really fine.
At the end of the concert an extra album (Left Right Left Right Left) was distributed for free. You can download this album for free simply by entering an Email adress at coldplay.com here.

After the concert I got the motivation to research about the meaning of the “Viva la Vida” song.
The lyrics of the song “Viva la Vida” are not easy to understand. “Martin has explained the song lyric “I know Saint Peter won’t call my name” in an interview with Q magazine: “It’s about … You’re not on the list. I was a naughty boy. It’s always fascinated me that idea of finishing your life and then being analyzed on it. And this idea runs throughout most religions. That’s why people blow up buildings. Because they think they’re going to get lots of virgins. I always feel like saying, just join a band … That is the most frightening thing you could possibly say to somebody. Eternal damnation.” (quote http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Viva_la_Vida)
Viva la Vida Video with Lyrics:
There is also a Remix version (called Thin White Duke Mix) played during the concert (see
) I found quite interesting.
Leomobile
Depuis le 1er Septembre nous avons une nouvelle voiture, une Skoda Octavia Combi (qui remplace notre Peugeot 206 devenue trop petite et que nous avons revendue). Nous l’avons immatriculée à l’avance à Lindau. En Allemagne, il est possible pour un petit supplément de choisir sa plaque, hormis bien sur les deux premières lettres pour le nom de la ville (LI pour Lindau). Deviner pourquoi nous l’avons choisi ainsi! ;-)
Are we human or are we dancer?
Some weeks ago, I discussed with about the band “The Killers”, she didn’t know at once. By chance the song “Human” came on the radio and she could then make the match. I really like this song. Specially the refrain: “Are we human or are we dancer?” that brought out a polemic because of its self-exclusing nonsense (a dancer is also human…). See discussion in Wikipedia article. You can here it on last.fm. Great!
Bach Chaconne
I’ve read last week this interesting article in the Washington Post :“What happens when one of the world’s best violinists plays in a metro station for change?”
It reminded me of the beauty of the Bach “Chaconne”. I would pretty much like to be able to play it on the guitar ;-)
Here embedded the original version for the violon and the adaption for the guitar played by Julian Bream. (allow flash)
Great!
