Openwhyd: The community of music lovers

CHOSEN BY AMANDINE "The Scientist is a song from the British rock band Coldplay. This is the second single of its second studio’s album A rush of Blood to the Head released in 2002. Whatever if you love the band or not you will surely fall in love with this song. Not only because of the slow-burn piano ballad but also because of the universal theme the song deals with. The lyrics refer to a deep nostalgia and especially with the plaintive chorus talking about regrets and thinking about the past and a lover we may have lost. The slow but steady musical accompaniment keeps the listener's attention. A lovely simple melody with an earnest message which profoundly touch. At last but not least, Chris Martin’s voice has never been so seductive. This is completely the high point of the album so let yourself go with this wonderful composition and performance."
