The Scientist 20985 points 59 votes highest rank from CKcoldplay, detheo, murphy, oskarpc2001, PlayingCold, riazor, talisman, thescientist06, twistedlogic149 and x8y (1) Absolutely unquestionable 1st place. Probably, it is the best Coldplay song ever. and it is the fan favourite: beating the 2nd place by more than 2500 points and getting 59 mentions in 63 lists, obviously deserved. Congratulations to The Scientist! The Scientist' is the second single from the Sophomore album A Rush Of Blood To The Head. Arguably the best track from the monumental second record' date=' The Scientist was apparently too downbeat for Coldplay's burgeoning American fanbase - they got Clocks as a second single instead.[/quote'] "When me and Jonny (Buckland) went up to Liverpool on the train in November, and we were listening to what we had on the record (we had eight rough done) and we had the feeling that it was alright. And then I was sitting at this battered old piano that was completely out of tune and I'd just heard All Things Must Pass by George Harrison and heard this song called Isn't It Pity with this circular chord sequence. And this is all very anal but I felt I would like a chord sequence that went around and around, and where you don't know where it begins or ends. And this chord sequence just arrived and I thought it was really lovely. And then the whole song just came out and so we recorded it then and there, and the piano and vocal was from the day it was written. That's it! And the best moment of the entire record for me was when came back three weeks later when we came back to this song, I just heard through a wall this riff and that's what he does at the end, and that's my favourite bit on the record. That was a great moment because it was brilliant." "Nobody said it was easy. It's such a shame for us to part." Trouble with girls Christopher? Lilting balladry with a sing-song Martin vocal. Would have sat perfectly on Parachutes. For the video, Chris Martin had to learn the song backward. As he was walking forwards as normal, he was actually singing it backwards. So when the tape was played in reverse it looks as though Chris is singing it normally. http://youtube.com/watch?v=EcKQneIxOJI While Clocks, like much of the album, is a fine piece of music, it doesn't match this. The piano riff seeps into your consciousness like something from your Id, and before long you'll be itching to play it on any set of ivories you come across. The piano is wonderful, as is the way in which the band pull together for a rousing crescendo, but it's ultimately Chris Martin's emotive voice that makes this one of the year's standout singles. The second single off Coldplay's hit album, "A Rush Of Blood To The Head." "The Scientist" itself, is a piano, vocals driven quiet song with a lot of emotion wrapped inside it. Come up to meet you, tell you I'm sorry You don't know how lovely you are I had to find you, tell you I need you Tell you I set you apart Tell me your secrets, and ask me your questions Oh let's go back to the start Running in circles, coming up tails Heads on a science apart Nobody said it was easy Oh it's such a shame for us to part Nobody said it was easy No one ever said that it would be this hard Oh take me back to the start I was just guessing at numbers and figures Pulling the puzzles apart Questions of science, science and progress Do not speak as loud as my heart Tell me you love me, come back and haunt me Oh and I rush to the start Running in circles, chasing our tails Coming back as we are Nobody said it was easy Oh it's such a shame for us to part Nobody said it was easy No one ever said it would be so hard I'm going back to the start Oh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh (x4)
