[@slowmeal]

I played this in concert in 7th grade

[@lucydoodles2020]

I've come here to cleanse my ears and be at peace with this arrangement after hearing my school orchestra try to play it so many times, only have the violins crumbling under the rhythms because they're more busy covering the skill of the one girl who actually knows what she's doing instead of trying to be like her...

[@KirbyZaraku]

Hmm I don't know why but that icon of yours makes me feel really funny, but anyway my teacher told me to play solo with only 2 violins and their my friends so I can't wait for that :D. Also I have to play this at a concert so I'd better be ready.

I would love to see an arrangement of Viva la Vida for a full symphony orchestra. The unique string sound combined with the more powerful wind instruments giving the melody more umpf. I feel like the band version is missing key elements from the orchestra version and vice versa

I used to rule the world Seas would rise when I gave the word Now in the morning, I sleep alone Sweep the streets I used to own I used to roll the dice Feel the fear in my enemy's eyes Listen as the crowd would sing Now the old king is dead! Long live the king! One minute I held the key Next the walls were closed on me And I discovered that my castles stand Upon pillars of salt and pillars of sand I hear Jerusalem bells are ringing Roman Cavalry choirs are singing Be my mirror, my sword and shield My missionaries in a foreign field For some reason I can't explain Once you go there was never, never a honest word And that was when I ruled the world Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh I hear Jerusalem bells are ringing Roman Calvary choirs are singing Be my mirror, my sword and shield My missionaries in a foreign field For some reason I can't explain I know Saint Peter won't call my name Never an honest word But that was when I ruled the world
