The Coldplay War: Garrett Picks “The Scientist”

by Tanya on July 5, 2010

If you’re just now joining us, head on over to my first “Coldplay War” post to see how you can get in on the fun.

Okay, so we’ve got our first fantasy Coldplay song choice for Glee next season, coming to you from Garrett (thanks for commenting and participating!). Garrett’s pick just happens to be one of my personal Coldplay favorites, as a ballad for Will Schuester – The Scientist.


The Scientist

Coldplay | MySpace Music Videos

“It’s all about neglecting a relationship and wanting to come back to it, but it’s too late. Will tries to get his relationship with Emma started, but he forgot about her and made out with Shelby and had [a sleepover] with April. When he finds out about her new relationship with her dentist, Carl, he thinks, “That could’ve been me if I had just tried harder to be with her.” Will lost his chance, and he can’t get it back.”

The Scene:

Will watches Emma from outside her office. She’s on the phone, having a flirtatious call with her new “dentist beau”, Carl, as he breaks into song. We flash back and forth between Will singing in the hallway, a seemingly happy Emma in her office, and Carl on the other side of the call in his own office. But as Will reaches the end of his song he realizes Emma has left, and he looks to see her turning the corner. Leaning against her office door, he watches her go.

Thanks again Garrett, for your Coldplay fantasy song choice! If any of you has anything to add to Garrett’s idea for The Scientist, or want to submit your own Coldplay fantasy song choice to be featured in a future post, be sure to hit the comments (and remember to explain your picks!).
