Coldplay – The Scientist (Official 4K Video)

Coldplay’s “The Scientist” is a striking track from their 2002 masterpiece, A Rush of Blood to the Head.

It’s a piano ballad that delicately portrays love and apology, as well as regret and a heartfelt wish for reunion.

The song captures the protagonist’s deep emotions as they suffer from miscommunication amid love, turmoil, and inner conflict.

In particular, the powerful desire to turn back lost time and the apology to a loved one are truly moving.

It’s especially recommended for those feeling the heartache after a quarrel with a partner or carrying regrets about the past.

A love song themed around a scientist is highly unique, so be sure to give it a listen.
