The Scientist by Willie Nelson

Coldplay’s haunting classic ‘The Scientist’ is performed by country music legend Willie Nelson for the soundtrack of the short film entitled, “Back to the Start.” The film, by film-maker Johnny Kelly, depicts the life of a farmer as he slowly turns his family farm into an industrial animal factory before seeing the errors of his ways and opting for a more sustainable future. Both the film and the soundtrack were commissioned by Chipotle to emphasize the importance of developing a sustainable food system.

In his latest out-of-leftfield move, Willie Nelson performs a country version of Coldplay’s 2005 song, “The Scientist,” for a long-form Chipotle TV commercial. Nelson presumably approved of the ad’s tag line: “Cultivate a better world.” Check out Coldplay’s original below…
