She painted it in 1954, shortly before her death. Farida started a big painting in her house that said ‘Viva la Vida’, after she went through a difficult life. Song and album title “Viva la Vida” was inspired by “Sandías con leyenda: Viva la vida” painting (literal meaning: “Watermelons with legend: The life lives”) by 20th-century Mexican artist Frida Kahlo.

It demands sympathy for the overthrown king.
The song is written through King Louis point of view, as he apologizes to his people, accepting his fate. Coldplay’s song “Viva La Vida” is an interpretation of king louis’s last words before his death. There is a story that when Louis XVI was walking up to be publicly executed via guillotine, he tried to give one final speech to his people but the drums’ sounds and people’s screams were too loud so no one could hear him. The central idea of the song and album is a retelling of the French revolution and the death of the domineering King Louis XVI… It is about life, death, war, and change.
It was written by all members of the band for their fourth album ” Viva la Vida or Death and All His Friends (2008)”. “Viva la Vida” (Spanish for “Long Live Life”) is a modern classic song by British rock band, Coldplay.
