The Writing on the Wall

It's the last day of break. I have finished everything I need to finish and have nothing to occupy myself. So, what do I do? Review music.

Paper Planes- M.I.A.

This song is sometimes hard to decipher. You hear the lyrics and the beat, but what does it mean? Well, looking up the lyrics, it sounds like something a bounty hunter would sing.

"All I wanna do is [BANG BANG BANG BANG] and I [KA-CHING] and I take your money."

I'm not usually a rap person, but this song gets stuck in your head quite easily and you have to keep listening to it. M.I.A. has done a great job. The background tune is infectuous, and well, the song is well put together.

Viva La Vida- Coldplay

This song is a masterpeice. It won song of the year at the Grammys, and everyone seems to love it. It's a song about a overthrown king explaining that he is hated by his former subjects. The repeating tune is the background is catchy and the song itself is too. Coldplay's masterful use of intstruments other than the ones traditionally used for rock is marvelous.
