129. The Scientist – Coldplay (2005)


I heard a segment of this song on ITV2’s programme about Kerry Katona, which my wife was making me watch one evening when there was little else of any interest on tv and so I sought it out and downloaded it onto my ipod. The song was being used to subconsciously send the message that ‘nobody says it easy’ when parting or moving onto a new phase in one’s life which was the pivotal message in the programme which followed Kerry’s break up, divorce and bankruptcy and move from the North to Surrey.

Watching the show reminded me that I had ready Kerry Katona’s autobiography and so was painfully aware of what a hard time that she had had as a child and indeed as an adult and this song seemed an apt choice for the programme’s music.

Having downloaded it I played it over and over and over and even though I knew virtually nothing about Coldplay apart from the fact that one of the band was married to Gwyneth Paltrow and had a baby named after an ipod, I found that I had accidentally discovered yet another truly great song and great band. Had it not been for Kerry Katona and Mrs G making me watch that show I may never have found this and so I would like to thank Kerry who changed my life….


Now listen to the song…
