On 13 September 2009, it was released as the fifth and final single from the band's fourth studio album, ''Viva la Vida or Death and All His Friends'' (2008). The song was written by members of the band and was produced by Markus Dravs, Brian Eno, Jon Hopkins and Rik Simpson. The track received mostly positive reviews from music critics who praised the infectious melody, the vocal performance of Chris Martin and the tribal influence of the production. "Strawberry Swing" reached a position of 158 on the UK Singles Chart and reached position 5 on both the Polish Singles Chart and the Dutch Tipparade charts. The song received a stop-motion music video directed by Shynola, which was nominated for Breakthrough Video at the 2010 MTV Video Music Awards. Coldplay performed the song on their 2008 Viva la Vida Tour, and a live version of the song appeared on Coldplay's live album, ''LeftRightLeftRightLeft'' (2009). R&B singer-songwriter Frank Ocean performed a cover version of the song on his 2011 mixtape ''Nostalgia, Ultra''. The track was performed by Ocean during his 2012 Coachella Music Festival appearance and his 2012 ''Channel Orange'' tour. Ocean's cover received mostly positive reviews from critics. The song was performed in the 2012 Summer Paralympics closing ceremony, with the British Paraorchestra. ==Background== "Strawberry Swing", like much of ''Viva la Vida'', was primarily produced by English record producer Brian Eno. Coldplay sparked an interest at Hispanic influences after having recorded in churches and in Spanish-speaking countries such as in Mexico in America and Spain in Europe, adding an African-sounding influence to the song. The track was released as the fifth official single from ''Viva la Vida'' on 13 September 2009.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Strawberry Swing - Single )〕 The song was later part of the international soundtrack to the Brazilian soap opera ''Tempos Modernos'' in 2009. Results of a study by the British Academy of Sound Therapy show that "Strawberry Swing" is one of the most psychologically relaxing songs ever recorded. It came in 5th place among surveyed songs behind Marconi Union's "Weightless". 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Strawberry Swing」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
