A theory making sense of Coldplay's music video 'The Scientist,' found in the YouTube comments, of all places

Note: The music video is a story told in reverse so the theory starts by talking about the end of the video and works backwards. From user Mango Monkey

'I think I finally understand the video. I kept thinking it made no sense that he woke up from a car accident and abandoned his girlfriend to die (Everyone else is mad about that too). But that is just not the case. There are many interpretations, like he is a ghost and such, but here is mine:

(The video)

The car accident actually never happened at all. The car accident symbolizes the death of their relationship. Essentially Chris Martin and his girlfriend run into an unforeseen problem represented by the truck that ran them off the road, and it ended in them breaking up. He leaves her body because thats how some relationships end. Some people walk away fine and others never fully recover and die (Metaphorically). Notice how he takes off the black jacket after the car accident. The color of it is black, which usually represents something negative. He takes it off to reveal the white shirt underneath, a shot at a new life without her, a new person not bogged down by their dying relationship. His expression while he wears the jacket is solemn, but after he takes it off and leaves her he eventually regains his happiness. The final moment, or the beginning of the video is of him closing his eyes and resting happily alone (Or single).

(The lyrics)

The lyrics on their own tell an interesting story about a man who spends so much time working that he never finds time for his wife who eventually leaves him. And in the end he wishes that he could go 'back to the start' and fix things.

However, the lyrics when put into the video give us another view. Though he has moved on from his girlfriend, from time to time he finds himself traveling back to the good times they had together. But remembering the good times is double sided, as when he thinks of the good times he also remembers the horrible crash (Or the break up).

Its funny how even after all the good things you go through, in the end, you remember the bad things the most. Thanks for reading!'

'The Scientist' is a song by the rock band Coldplay. The song was written collaboratively by all the band members for their 2th album, A Rush of Blood to the Head. It is built around a piano ballad, with its lyrics telling the story about a man's desire to love and an apology. The song was released in the United Kingdom as the second single from A Rush of Blood to the Head and reached number 10 in the UK Charts. It was released in the United States as the third single and reached number 18 on the US BillboardModern Rock Tracks chart and number 34 on the Adult Top 40 chart.

Critics were highly positive towards 'The Scientist' and praised the song's piano ballad and falsetto. Several remixes of the track exist, and its riff has been widely sampled. The single's music video won three MTV Music Video Awards, for the video's use of reverse narrative. The song was also featured on the band's 2003 live album Live 2003 and has been a permanent fixture in the band's live set lists since 2002.

Background[edit]

Lead singer Chris Martin wrote 'The Scientist' after listening to George Harrison's All Things Must Pass.[1] In an interview with Rolling StoneMagazine, Martin revealed that while working on the band's second album, A Rush of Blood to the Head, he knew that the album was missing something.[2] One night, during a stay in Liverpool,[3] Martin found an old piano that was out of tune. He wanted to work on Harrison's song, 'Isn't It a Pity', but he could not manage to do so. When the song came to Martin, he asked that the recorder be turned on.[2] He concluded by saying that he came across this chord sequence and noted that the chord was 'lovely'.[4] Martin recorded the vocals and piano takes in a studio in Liverpool.[5]

When asked about the development of the song, during a track-by-track reveal, Martin said: 'That's just about girls. It's weird that whatever else is on your mind, whether it's the downfall of global economics or terrible environmental troubles, the thing that always gets you most is when you fancy someone.'[6] The liner notes from A Rush of Blood to the Head, on the other hand, states that 'The Scientist is Dan.', with Dan referring to Dan Keeling, the A&R man who signed the band to Parlophone.[6]

Composition[edit]

From the album A Rush of Blood to the Head. This sample includes a portion of chorus, as well as an allusion to the title.

Problems playing this file? See media help.

'The Scientist' is a melancholic, piano-driven ballad written in the key of F major.[7][8] The lyrics to the song allude to a man's powerlessness in the face of love.[9][10] It begins with the main four-chord piano melody created by lead singer Chris Martin, transitioning to him singing the first verses. He is then joined by the rest of the band after the first chorus. In addition to the main piano melody, the music of the song is created by a string arrangement,[11] harmony, acoustic guitar, with its rhythm being slow tempo drums and bass guitar riffs. Towards the end of the song, electric guitar riffs can be heard as lead guitarist Jonny Buckland switches from acoustic to lead guitar.

Release[edit]

Coldplay released 'The Scientist' in Europe on 4 November 2002 as the album's second single. The single was pressed with two B-sides: '1.36' and 'I Ran Away.'[12] While preparing for the song as the album's second release, the band's US label felt the song failed to 'provide enough of a blood rush for American listeners'; instead, they released 'Clocks' as the second single in the US.[13] The song was released on 15 April 2003 in the US.[13]

'The Scientist' appeared on Australia Singles Chart at number 40 on 1 November 2003.[14] It appeared on Billboard'sModern Rock Tracks at number 18.[15] The song peaked at number sixteen at Canada Singles Chart. The song peaked at number 10 in UK Top 75 on 17 November 2002.[16][17] Uplay activation key generator for honor.

The single's cover, created by Sølve Sundsbø,[who?][18] as with the album's other singles, features a band member, which in this case is drummer Will Champion.[clarification needed]

Reception[edit]

'The Scientist' received widespread critical acclaim. Rob Sheffield of Rolling Stone Magazine, in his review of the album, wrote: 'The fantastic piano ballad 'The Scientist' .. [has] a cataclysmic falsetto finale that could raise every hair on the back of your neck.'[19] Nick Southall of Stylus magazine wrote: 'The piano that chimes through 'The Scientist' is captured perfectly, the warm depression of each individual key caught rather than a shrill ringing as is so often the case.'[20] Ian Watson of NME wrote: 'The Scientist' is a song inexorably linked with the endless night sky and the secret hopes and regrets of a hundred thousand strangers.'[21]

In October 2011, NME placed it at number 37 on its list '150 Best Tracks of the Past 15 Years'.[22] In 2009, Rolling Stone ranked it number 54 on its '100 Best Songs of the Decade' list.[23]

Other versions[edit]

In 2003, 'The Scientist' was featured on Coldplay's live album Live 2003.[24] The song was covered live by Aimee Mann and released on a special edition of her album Lost in Space.[25]Natasha Bedingfield, Alex Band, Eamon, and Avril Lavigne covered the song on Jo Whiley's Live Lounge radio show.[26][27][28] Also, Belinda Carlisle did a live rendition on the ITV1 reality show Hit Me Baby One More Time.[29][30] The British female quartet All Angels did a choral arrangement of the song on their album Into Paradise which was released in 2007.[31] The chords to this song are replicated by Sum 41 in their song 'Pieces.'[32] In addition, the American television show MADtv did a parody of the video, called 'The Narcissist.'[33] Coldplay's original version plus a cover of the track performed by Johnette Napolitano and Danny Lohner were featured in the 2004 film Wicker Park.[34][35]Allison Iraheta and Kris Allen performed an acoustic duet of the song at Oprah Winfrey's 'No Phone Zone' rally in Los Angeles.[36]

In 2011, Willie Nelson covered the song for a Chipotle Mexican Grill-sponsored short film titled Back to the Start, highlighting the problems of concentrated animal feeding operations.[37] It also appears as the final track on his 2012 album Heroes. Nelson's version plays during the closing credits of the 2014 film The Judge.[38] The song was used on 23 May 2011 episode of WWE Raw in a tribute video to wrestler 'Macho Man' Randy Savage who had died three days earlier.[39] The song was performed in the Glee episode 'The Break Up' on 4 October 2012 by Cory Monteith, Darren Criss, Naya Rivera, Matthew Morrison, Lea Michele, Chris Colfer, Heather Morris and Jayma Mays.[40] In 2014, Miley Cyrus covered the song at selected stops of her Bangerz Tour.[41]Corinne Bailey Rae covered 'The Scientist' for the soundtrack to the 2017 film Fifty Shades Darker.[42]Conor Maynard covers a few verses of the song in his Acoustic rendition of Kris Kross Amsterdam & Conor Maynard - Are You Sure? ft. Ty Dolla $ign.[43]

Personnel[edit]

  • Chris Martin – lead vocals, piano
  • Jonny Buckland – acoustic and electric guitar
  • Guy Berryman – bass guitar
  • Will Champion – drums, backing vocals

Music video[edit]

The music video for 'The Scientist' was notable for its distinctive reverse narrative, which employed reverse video. The same concept had been previously used for Spike Jonze's 1995 music video for The Pharcyde's 'Drop'. The reverse video style had first been seen in 1989 for the video for the song 'The Second Summer of Love' by Scottish band Danny Wilson. In order for Martin to appear to be singing the lyrics in the reversed footage, he had to learn to sing the song backwards, which took him a month.[44] The video was filmed at various locations, including London and at Bourne Woods in Surrey, before the first leg of the A Rush of Blood to the Head tour.[44] It was directed by Jamie Thraves.[44] The video was shot between 30 September – 3 October 2002, premiering on 14 October.[45]

The video opens, looking down on Martin who is singing, as he lies on his back on a mattress. As the camera shot pulls back, the mattress is revealed to be outside. A cyclist cycles past in reverse and Martin leaps up from the mattress. He walks in reverse through a city, out into the suburbs and eventually crossing a railway line and into woods, picking up his suit jacket as he goes. Upon arriving at his car, a black BMW,[46][47] he gets in and briefly passes out. A woman, at first shown lying unresponsive on the ground in front of the car, is shown flying back in through the shattered windscreen. The car rolls back up a hill in the woods and through a broken fence, which joins back together as the car passes through it. As the video closes, the couple is shown driving back up the road. It is revealed that Martin's passenger had removed her seat belt, in order to put her jacket on, just before the car accident, causing her death.[44] Irish actress Elaine Cassidy portrays the female passenger.[44]

In 2003, 'The Scientist' won multiple MTV Video Music Awards for Best Group Video, Best Direction, and Breakthrough Video.[48] It was also nominated at the 2004 Grammy Awards for Best Short Form Music Video but lost to Johnny Cash's video for 'Hurt'.[49] By May 2019 the video had received over 700 million views on YouTube.[50]

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
It's such a shame for us to part
Nobody said it was easy
No one ever said 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
But 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
Ah ooh, ooh ooh ooh ooh
Oh ooh, ooh ooh ooh ooh
Oh ooh, ooh ooh ooh ooh
