Best Songs From Coldplay's a Rush of Blood to the Head

In their best album, packed with songs like "Clocks", "In My Place", "Politik" and "Amsterdam" ; Coldplay's Track THE SCIENTIST appears one cut higher than the others with a beautiful melody and lyrics. The emotions packed in it make it one o th greatest songs in existence.

This song it's just..amazing. It remembers me to my girlfriend because I dedicated to her this song. In my opinion this is the best song I ever heard of Coldplay!

A very musically complex with deep lyrics!
"Nobody said it was easy" - makes my spine tingle!

A story about a man's desire to love and an apology

This song got a Grammy. The album was POSTPONED for this song. It became a hit on release. One of the best piano riffs of this century. Need I say anything more?

Please vote for clocks. It's amazing and I don't see how the scientist is better. The only people that don't think this song is the best haven't listened to it.

The melody on Clocks is what will make this track an endless classic. People will still be playing and appreciating this song for generations to come.

They're all so wonderful I can't choose D: but this was the first Coldplay song I heard, so I'm voting for this

This album is truly emotional, this song should be either in the number 2 or 3 spot.

I love the drum smashing start and guitar solo. My favourite Coldplay song

The first Coldplay song I ever heard. A "smashing" hit

1) Clocks
2) The Scientist
3) Warning Sign
4) A Rush of Blood to the Head
5) Amsterdam
6) In My Place
7) Daylight
8) Politik
9) God Put a Smile Upon Your Face
10) Green Eyes
11) A Whisper

How is this enchanting, slow moving all-time great down at number 7? On its album?

This is one of the most powerful songs ever made in the history of music. It's just epic, that's all I can say.

Holy crap, this song is epic. There's a reason they used this at the opening ceremony. So powerful. It really builds itself up...

This was the opening song in that album. I think it wouldn't be unfair to say the quality of this song went a long way in ensuring the success of that alum.

This song is so different from anything else Coldplay has done. This track shows you a transformation from Parachutes and proves that Coldplay can play with the best of them.

This is by far the most emotional Coldplay song. "Stood on the edge, tied to a noose. But you came along and you cut me loose." And when they perform it live they always say the same thing "We haven't played this song in a while and we won't play it for a while. This is just a love song from us to you, the fans." Chris Martin doesn't seem to like it which is sad considering the depth of lyrical content.

The order goes as follows

1. A rush of blood to the head/Amsterdam
3. Warning sign
4. In my place
5. The scientist
6. Politik
7. Green eyes
8. A Whisper
9. Daylight
10. Clocks
11. God put a smile upon your face

But a rush of blood to the head and Amsterdam just compliment each other, I think a rush of blood to the head is just a little bit better if I had to choose between the two but I liked Amsterdam because it's so low on the list

I love how it goes from a slow piano ballad to a heavy guitar based song. And the lyrics are just fantastic, "stood on the edge, tied to the noose, you came along and you cut me loose." It's just an amazing song and it might be my favorite Coldplay song.

I'm torn between the title track and In My Place. But this gets my vote as it's underappreciated and overshadowed by the popular singles.

Totally underrated song. The lyrics, the melody, the sadness but also the freedom it gives you in the last lines. Clearing up everything after a big mistake. "So meet me by the bridge... " Bridge is a place where two parts meet each other halfway, lovley metaphor.

Very hard to pick favourites from this brilliant album. Every song is a favourite! But if I have to choose, I would pick the title track together with the scientist as my absolute favourites. Both of the songs hit the feels so deep I can't even explain.

Best Coldplay song ever!
Deep powerful and sad lyrics about a man who's about to explode and break everything. It's probably one of the darkest track made by Coldplay.

This song is so underrated

Good song, but Minecraft parodies are just terrible

Underrated song, I did a Minecraft parody

This is really great

Probably the most minimal song on the album, but it has the most beautiful build up at the end...

I love this song! One of my favorites on the album! I love the acoustic version too!

This song is highly underrated. Move it up guys

This song means a lot for me because I have green eyes and someone I really love has green eyes, so this is 'our' song but the person don't know

Super underrated, very unique atmosphere, very catchy and beautiful.

Very underrated. One if their best songs ever made!
