About the Song

"The Scientist" was released in 2002 on the English band Coldplay's 2nd album "Rush of Blood to the Head",

Chris Martin, the band's lead singer, wrote about the song in a 2002 issue of the band's e-zine: "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."
