"Back to the Start"


Hello friends!
I'm happy for this holiday because I could return to active
and "back to the start", I start with "The Scientist" of the band Coldplay
I hope you enjoy this beautiful song, of a man who lost his beloved and all he wants is to return to the beginning.
Learn more in the description below:
"The Scientist" is the second single from British alternative rock band Coldplay's second album, A Rush of Blood to the Head. The song was written collaboratively by all the band members for the album. 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 Billboard's Modern Rock Tracks.

Critics were 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.”

The music video for "The Scientist" was very popular with its reverse narrative.

The video opens looking down on Martin, singing, as he lies on his back on a mattress. As the camera pulls back, the mattress is revelled 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 into the woods, picking up various pieces of his suit as he goes. Upon arriving at his car, a black BMW, he gets in and briefly passes out as his girlfriend, at first lying dead on the ground in front of the car, is shown flying back in through the shattered windscreen of the car. The car backs rolls back up a hill in the woods and through a broken fence, which mends itself as the car passes back through it. As the video closes, the couple are shown driving back up the road. It is revealed that Martin's girlfriend had removed her seat belt just before the car accident, leading to her death.
