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 are a science apart

Nobody said it was easy
Oh, it's such a shame for us to part

Nobody said it was easy
But no one ever said it would be so hard

I'm going 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

So tell me you love me
Come back and haunt me
Oh, and I'll rush to the start

Running in circles
Chasing of 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

Ah-ooh
Ah-ooh
It's such a shame
Ah-ooh
It's such a shame
Ah-ooh

Ohhh...I get it now. The common thread to current songs: pristine live vocals of great female singers. 

Or...is it some type of Big Lebowski movie theme? Some kind of nihilist vibe.

Not a bad cover, but I just heard it on RP yesterday. 5 plays in the last 30 days says RP; I don't believe that. How about more songs in the mix, Bill and Rebecca?

If you liked this, GoodKarm, you have a ton of Aimee Mann material to catch up on.  Her solo career has been stellar.  One of the most underrated artists of the last 25 years.

I think few people are getting the reference here. 

For future reference, Aimee played the nihilist who cut off her own toe in The Big Lebowski. And the line above is a direct quote from the film. Well played, OP.

Creative? Hardly. Definitely offensive.

While I agree with the sentiment of your post, I disagree with your claim. Name-calling is the first refuge of folks like that. It's intent is to dehumanize. It's literally Step One in the process. From Psychology Today, Nov. 2018--

The 5 Steps of Dehumanization The psychology of racism and discrimination
1. Hinting at the subpar intelligence or morality of the group
2. Use of infestation analogies
3. References and comparisons to animals
4. Threats of violence
5. Removal of group from society

It's a democracy. People expressing what they don't like should be water off a duck's back for those who like what they hear. No need to let it bother you that someone might not have the same taste as you, or might want to rant about something you like. It's just an expression of their taste. If we all had only good things to say, it wouldn't be worth reading any of the comments.

I'm not really a massive Coldplay fan, and I certainly don't subscribe to the opinion their songs are untouchable. But really, if you can neither improve on the original, nor give it a fresh new direction, then why would you bother?

This is one of Coldplay's best, and certainly one of their most iconic, tunes so the world really didn't need a pedestrian, nasal, country-lite version.

Nope. I'll take the original. 

When Coldplay was the early stages of making this album and struggling to write, Chris Martin went to another room at the studio. Sat down at the piano and tried to work out the notes to George Harrison's "Isn't It a Pity". In the process, he came up with this song.

Yah, the marketeers like to release a 1-disc version to start, so everyone buys that, then later they'll release the "Deluxe version" with a second disc, expanded graphics, etc. Then the die-hard fans feel they have to own that and buy it too. Of course artists such as Bowie have made a fortune by re-re-remastering their classic releases and re-releasing them as the newer better version that you gotta have. Often they'll throw in a few "bonus" live tracks or "alternate takes" which typically are not very good. I find the whole practice very sleazy, but hey, the industry is hurtin' and doing what they can to resell the same old product in a shiny new package.

This song is the ONLY thing that bugs me about RP. The original is excellent, doesn't need messing with, certainly doesn't need blindly copying. Just play the original...nuff said. Tempting to rant but RP is glorious and this is a minor wart on such a perfect skin.....

A lot better than the original by Coldplay but still no great hit. A decent 5 though, because it reminds me of the movie "the apartment" and I loved this movie :)

Cool segue from Cold Play, Scientist (or Cold Play anything). I'm embarrassed to say, at 62 yrs old, that I didn't know until recently Aimee Mann was the hot babe from Til Tuesday.

Bunny asked the Dude to blow on her freshly painted toes, and then offered to do him a favor for $1000.  The Dude just shuffled off, saying he was on his way to find a cash machine.  Just one of only about 150 great zingers in the film.

I remember howling at this movie on opening weekend, while my wife kept looking at me in mock disgust (she just didn't get it).   And I guess neither did many others, as it bombed in theaters, but now roars full steam ahead in our public consciousness 17 years later. 

Fortunately, the Mrs. came around too, and quotes like "Obviously, you're not a golfer" and "Hey, careful, man, there's a beverage here" roll off at the appropriate times.

The thing with Coldplay for me, and I am not what you would call a "hater" at the best of times, is that I usually find that, musically, I really like the things they do.  The songs are great stuff.  It is just that the lead vocals turn me right up and I can't listen.  This version, on the other hand, takes some good song writing and makes it work really well.

I don't hate Coldplay; some of their songs have done me really good. ...okay, I rather love several Coldplay songs... although they're loosing me lately (there's not a single song from the "Mylo Xyloto" that found its way to my heart, which is a first for me since I discovered "A rush of blood (...)".

I don't hate or love Aimee Mann - I don't know her stuff at all.
I do like her taking the initiative to cover one of my big favorites by Coldplay.

*BUT*... I expect the cover of a song I love to suprise me, to make me feel like I'm hearing it for the first time although it has been hundreds or thousands.
To me, this cover is so close to the original that it does nothing for me. Towards the end, the guitar has more distortion/is more rock-ish and the vocal harmonies sound different, but then again, it all ends just when it was starting to venture into new ground.

I don't hate this cover. It just adds very little to the original. It's decent, with a little plus, so a 6.

Because its a damned good song.  I will likely never buy another Coldplay album or pay money to see them perform but e
ven mediocre bands like Coldplay put out some good songs, like this one ---- and the next one playing on RP.
