Like you and everyone else, I have made plenty of mistakes in life, and it’s just human nature to wish you had a second chance. The band’s vocalist, Chris Martin, said he got the idea for the song after listening to George Harrison’s “All Things Must Pass.” There’s a clear link between the content of the two songs. The song didn’t make the Hot 100 in the US, but it did climb to #18 on the Modern Rock Tracks chart and made a #34 appearance on the Adult Top 40 chart. Everyone wants the former, and few are willing to offer up the latter.Ĭoldplay wrote the song as a group, and it was released on their second studio album, A Rush of Blood to the Head.

No matter whos joining him here or whose song it is, the performances stand on their own Coldplays 'The Scientist' and Eddie Vedders 'Just Breathe' become every bit Nelson tunes. Chipotle As far as fast food commercials go, you probably cannot do better than Willie Nelson singing a Coldplay song with an important message about the source for much of our food.
It’s all about wanting to find love and making apologies. Nelson the songwriter and Nelson the interpreter have made him Nelson the legend. It reminds me a lot of Johnny Cash’s take on “Hurt.” The meaning of Coldplay’s original holds true, though. The original song was built around a piano ballad, and Nelson turns it into a strong acoustic guitar sound, something more somber. The new single, recorded for a film commissioned.

Yes, the video is also an advertisement for Chipotle, but when a corporation makes a startling effort to do the right thing, we're all for them taking credit-even it means listening to Coldplay. And here we have a lovely music video produced by, uh, Chipotle, featuring Willie Nelson covering Coldplay's "The Scientist," which features the refrain, "I'm going back to the start." The video, created by the talented Johnny Kelly, tells the story of a farmer who has an epiphany and (sort of) liberates his imprisoned animals, letting them live free-range (until they're slaughtered to make delicious burrito bowls).
