The Scientist is the second single from British alternative rock band Coldplay's second studio album. Martin was inspired to write "The Scientist" after listening to George Harrison's "Isn't it a Pity" on the album All Things Must Pass. The song is a piano-driven ballad but it has been Guitar arrangement. This is the way how Chris Martin plays it. Coldplay released "The Scientist" in Europe on 4 November 2002.
