“It was a wicked and wild wind
Blew down the doors to let me in
Shattered windows and the sound of drums
People couldn’t believe what I’d become
Revolutionaries wait
For my head on a silver plate
Just a puppet on a lonely string
Oh who would ever want to be king?”

Lyrics from “Viva La Vida” by Coldplay

Hendrick Terbrugghen
The Lute Player

“Music makes the people come together
Music makes the bourgeoisie and the rebel
Don’t think of yesterday
And I don’t look at the clock
I like to boogie-woogie, uh, uh
It’s like riding on the wind
And it never goes away
Touches everything I’m in
Got to have it everyday”

Lyrics from “Music” by Madonna
