Violet Hill

I gotta admit, I'm not a "religious" music listener, meaning that I do not really follow particular bands and buy all their albums.  Save for one: Coldplay.  Granted, I was not hooked on them when they first broke the U.S. music scene, but I know now for a fact that I've liked them for several years.  When in Hawaii, I took it upon myself to purchase all three (at the time) of their albums off iTunes. 

I must now share with you my growing infatuation with the song Violet Hill off their latest album, Viva la Vida or Death and All His Friends, which I have already pre-ordered (a first, ever, for me, with any music).  The lyrics fit almost perfectly with what I am now envisioning as the opening prologue for the novel I'm writing, and quite possibly a recurring theme throughout the whole thing.  Of course, it is still in infantile stages.  But it is growing.

If you haven't tried Coldplay, I highly recommend them.  Their aforementioned latest album is going to be released, in full, on June 17th.
