    My piano arrangements of Coldplay - The Scientist before (2006) and after (2020).
    14 years ago, I learnt Coldplay’s The Scientist on piano. It was the first song I tried learning by ear.
    This song holds an even deeper meaning to me now, as I’ve since become a scientist myself - I’m a chemist.
    The Scientist was also the first piano cover I ever uploaded on my RUclips channel. It has since been put on private, but I think this is a nice time to take a clip of it out of the vault and compare how differently I play this song 14 years later.
    Hope you all enjoy this video as much as I did making it. A little trip down memory lane for me…

    Lyrics:
    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
    Running in circles, coming up 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 guessing at numbers and figures
    Pulling your 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 and I rush to the start
    Running in circles, chasing our tails
    Coming 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 going back to the start

    It’s a song with sadness, regret, yearning, but also filled hope, and an undeniable feeling of liberation. No matter where my musical tastes carry me, “The Scientist” is always “home.”

    I've been following your channel for a few years and your evolution has been incredible. You can tell now as you get older how the deepness in the way you play has changed. Coldplay is my fav band and I've always found your covers inspiring but this has done it in a way like never before. I want to play piano again after 13 years thanks to you.
