What it is
"The Scientist" is a piano ballad from Coldplay's 2002 album A Rush of Blood to the Head. Chris Martin wrote it after listening to George Harrison's All Things Must Pass, building it from a chord sequence he played on an out-of-tune piano. The song is about powerlessness in love and expresses both longing and an apology.
