"A Rush Of Blood To The Head"


No matter how my music taste varies over the years, there are still a few albums that will just never die for me.

While there are many, the one I am going to talk about today, is Coldplay's "A Rush Of Blood To The Head". For me, this album is a great listen on a warm sunny afternoon, or even while dancing in the rain.

This album is when Coldplay was on top of their game. Their lyrics were brilliant, and there sounds were earthy and yet ethereal. It's a balance between chaos and serenity that is just absolutely beautiful to all the senses.

And what is my favorite song of the whole album? Good question... I love them all. but, if I must pick one, it would probably be The Scientist. There is something absolutely heartbreaking and yet hopeful about it. It's the absolutely perfect song to close your eyes to, and just let it take you away. With every breath is it bring happiness and also bring tears to your eyes.

You know what the funny thing is? I actually haven't listened to this album in months! I was just listening to my iTunes today, and this was the album it chose for my soundtrack today. And I'm very glad it did. I think this will be my new trend with the music world...I'm going to go back and listen to all my old albums! =)

The Scientist
By Coldplay

Come up to meet you,
Tell you I'm sorry,
You don't know how lovely you are.

I had to find you,
Tell you I need you,
Tell you I set you apart.

Tell me your secrets,
And ask me your questions,
Oh let's go back to the start.

Runnin' in circles,
Comin' in tails,
Heads on a science apart.

Nobody said it was easy,
It's such a shame for us to part.
Nobody said it was easy,
No one ever said it would be this hard.
Oh take me back to the start.

I was just guessin',
At numbers and figures,
Pullin' the puzzles apart.

Questions of science,
Science and progress,
Do not speak as loud as my heart.

Tell me you love me,
Come back and haunt me,
Oh, what a rush to the start.

Runnin' in circles,
Chasin' tails,
Comin' back as we are.

Nobody said it was easy,
Oh it's such a shame for us to part.
Nobody said it was easy,
No one ever said it would be so hard.
I'm goin' back to the start.

Oh ooh ooh ooh ooh ohh,
Ah ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh,
Oh ooh ooh ooh ooh ohh,
Oh ooh ooh ooh ooh ohh.

Happy listening everyone! =)
