Coldplay - The Scientist - Reverse

[myungskywalker]

he sure is looking pretty retarded for a guy doing things forward. if you knw what i mean

[theLoverko]

1:46 ; Za gorąco mi tu rozbiorę się

[Exzmo]

I gotta say, the Halo Music Video Hell 2 version (at 02:26) of the crash is better. :D

[Exzmo]

That's the weirdest crash I'v seen.

[utube090809]

Erm, He just leaves her there? Lovely.

[Momothebean]

@utube090809 yea but we think that he was dead all along and he could do nothing for her. ya know? like nobody noticed this guy walking through a middle of a freakin game or falling on a mattress..weirdy

[lozziestar4eva]

@utube090809

Nice boyfriend.

[whygod1105]

the car drives sraight off the hill, so it comes flying over the hill sideways... it rolls 10+ times, and lands forward..... without a scratch on it the passenger flys out the front windshield.... then he gets out and walks away and the cars in perfect condition.=P still a brilliant video and song.

[Altaira55]

Good to see, but still doesn't really make sense.But then it doesn't really matter.

[peacencarrots]

At first I was like "why did an accident occur? the truck was driving on the right side of the road?"

then i realized this was europe.

[Billysawesomeas]

it needs a bit of a fastfoward

[magicgallade]

Anyone else notice Coldplay doesn't check on his girlfriend? He just sees her and then walks away.

[IISAVAGEII]

girlfriend dies, lay on mattress

[yousaywhatwhatwhat]

And that kids, is why you wear a seat belt

[TYLSawadaTsuna]

This reversed version makes you think that Chris is good as a singer as much as he sucks as a driver (in the video). Man , nobody could go out of the road like that with a simple evasive turn. Well , maybe the car was messed up.

[gamingg0d6494]

Stupid truck...

[torchdexto]

the crash isnt as epic normal... *sobs*

[MegaSlypig]

Hahah That crash defys logic

[nekezajebancije]

@MegaSlypig The sole purpose I came to find the reversed video. :D

[InnocentMarta]

the top comments are from two years ago

[RandomPonyProduction]

that girl needed to fly out the window, CHRIS IS MINE GRRRRR

[jaxblum761]

fail crash... 

[CASSOgreek]

1:10 his eyes haha funny

i love this song its describes everything that i feel right know

[DarkR3flection]

ahh 240p how I've missed you

[Atom1cKitten]

They had to over-exaggerate the movements while filming this to make it more noticeable when reversed.

[27jackstreet]

Yeah this was definitely in reverse for a reason.

[randomxxx35]

the academy is...'s "everything we had" in reverse was much better...

much more natural :/

[fireballcurt]

It looks awkward when he falls onto the mattress

[alejandrito123456781]

this video leave us a lesson... USE YOUR SEATBELT!!!!

[fatfisherf]

hes sorry the car is too cold....... XD

[kiwikiwi123]

gwyneth paltrow is way hotter

[powertoolification]

0:00trats eht ot kcab gniog m'i

[TheAmberHatorade]

And the lesson is kids, Always Keep Your Seatbelts On.

Lol...

[XxEchelonMarsxX]

It's so weird to see this video like this xD

[SuicideBunny6]

did anyone notice that there's one sentence missing after the first chorus? 'Oh take me back to the start'... at 1:20

[alphatyrone]

Jesus, Chris Martin is godawful driver.

[Swax6302]

i know this is stupid to say but the physics seem pretty off when throwing her through the windshield.. anywayssss, i freaking love the song!

[Nephy80]

Best Video Ever

[uropenbook]

Coldplay is fucking amazing, enough said.

[bigpudding8888]

Chris Martin was so clever to come up with this idea for the video, and to learn to sing it backwards just shows how dedicated he is to his music

[ChaChiangaLang]

IF you watched the video closely, the girl was putting her jacket on so she needed to unbuckle her seat belt. Right after she did, the accident occurred so it shows how it could cost your life if you don't have your seat belt on just for even a second.

[nobreathingbutliving]

It's a brilliant song. And it doesn't have to be good acting, he must have put a lot of effort into being able to sing a song backwards so when played forwards his lips are in sync with the music!

Coldplay are brilliant and it's an amazing idea.

[FictionLover333]

@nobreathingbutliving You're absolutely right. In fact, according to what I think was mtv.com, it took him a whole month to learn how to sing it backward. He had to listen to a backward recording over and over to get the phonetics right. epoehnerable doesn't know what s/he is talking about.

[epoehnerable]

Showing this in forward motion sure shows what a shitty actor Chris Martin is.

[RedDeadEnthusiast]

!hcum osgnos siht evol I (read backwards)

[SingWithTheSirens]

@timiboy1281995

No, they actually flung a woman out of a car for the sake of this video, what are you talking about?

God, people need to just take things for what they are and not be critics.

[PaigeA5]

@timiboy1281995 The whole thing is fake -.-

[IrethN]

I miss when Coldplay played music like this =/

[dmj2691]

if you want to know how he sang the song backwards then look up this video on mtv.com:

Lens Recap: The Story Behind Coldplay's 'The Scientist'

Director Jamie Thraves explains his back-to-the-future approach.

[TackyNames]

wear a seatbelt. :(

[smaucieri07]

Would have been more emotional if the car exploded with her in it

[originallyfly1]

originallyfly1 y wuld it be real?

[viperz888]

the moral of the story: wear your seatbelt

[xoaliishaax3]

haha love how he just walks away like nothing happened...

hmm im kinda hungry..

[admirilawesome1]

the video makes less sense now

[RedDeadEnthusiast]

!gnos siht ekil I (read backwards)

[XxGypsyRoseLeexX]

@RedDeadEnthusiast hhahahahhahahhahahahahhahaa ok ahahahahahahahahha xD

[gastypm]

ZAARPADOoooooo!!!!

[Pelgore]

she ugly

[TwiliticHorizon]

@Pelgore She looks like a lesbian.

[MelodiesEnchanted]

did he learn how to sing this backwards for the video?

[gastypm]

@MelodiesEnchanted , vist Wikipedia page of the Scientist and you will find it. It take him 1 month to learn it all.

[TRUEBLOODSOLJA4LIFE]

luv dis song!!!

[trizaabee]

o jeito errado fica melhoor :s

[Henrickrick1]

O certo seria assim! mas prefiro o errado!

[TIC1986]

Does it make any sence forwards or even backwards?

[bigBtheBANGIE]

his car looks remarkably untouched for doing about 10 rolls and a front flip. great song, love cold play and was hoping someone would have done this backwards!

[Tranalex11]

i meant the oringinal video

[Tranalex11]

it the backward video the glass flying bak up with the girl looked cool

[DiedunkleDrachendame]

love that song! and the "forward" video xD

[mikeymick526]

People who don't understand why he left his girlfriend need to watch the actual music video, and try to understand it that way, taking the first line into consideration.

It's meant to be watched with the video and the lyrics matching up perfectly and the backwards motion of everything but him doesn't matter.

[ZoeTight]

0:27 so cute laughing ;D

[MassacreMagix]

i have being trying to figure that out all day

[freddylovejoy]

I'll bet at 1:13 before he realized what had happened he was thinking, "HOW AM I GOING TO PAY FOR THAT WINDSHIELD?!" XD

[JoshMIkeKolar]

The crash sequence is very weak when played forward...

[bazytherapper]

@JoshMIkeKolar yet the song is still the greatest...

[twilightchik11]

@JoshMIkeKolar agreed. it's way too slow and it seems that he purposely drove through the fence. disappointing. i liked it better backwards.

[OhmygodSportacus]

He walks away from her because hes in shock, hes emotionally destroyed because he knows that shes dead, the point of the video is taking all that back though

[MegaGoverner]

@OhmygodSportacus Chris Martin planned the whole thing

[TheMrSpartanking]

@OhmygodSportacus Cheesey.

[123calvary]

@OhmygodSportacus yer you need to watch the clip the properway then you will get it

[ManicMike26]

@OhmygodSportacus thats why he keeps sayin lets go back to the start

[Finalstar5]

I don't understand too , maybe he is too sad for stay next to girlfriend body.

It's bizare for me to see his video in the normal sens.

I'm sure , I made a lot of mistake.

[gaga666lulu]

the non-reversed version is better.... i dont quite get why he abandons his girlfriend...

[MassacreMagix]

i have being wondering that all day

[moerbieluisteraar]

3:43 rofl

[smartsnoopyguy]

Its a great song, brongs tears to my eyes everytimr i hear it. SERIOUSLY. no joke. its just a nice song

[Jesselolz]

00:53 lol

[MassacreMagix]

ur nice

[ifrit117]

its funny that the girl flies OUT when the car falls DOWN.

[vodafoneboy2]

cool

[HappilyWithMonotony]

I don't think he's in shock. He just kinda struts away like "So, what else did I have to do today?" Haha.

[jay2farcon]

haha get my girlfriend killed.. check.

[GhoodNooz]

love this song.

[Lirave]

The girl goes flying out the window and he walks away singing?

[HappilyWithMonotony]

Haha. Nice one.

[FurryDogKiller]

I would too...

[DanPhantomFan]

he back to the stars

[Yaarik]

very weird..

[karava401]

makes, no sense... the car is going forwards through a fence then barrel rolling down a hill, then the guy flies forward out of the windshield

[xbox3606]

ahooooooooo uuuuoooo oooooo uuuuuu uuuu

[weeellium]

conservation of momentum, btw thats a girl that flies out

[destinyhopefan112]

because that guy/girl didnt wear seatbelt

[Kenob6]

Nice reversed but i would enjoy it much by listening the song backwards, i mean, the way they recorded it. Anyway thanks for posting this.

[domscientist]

great!

I have always wanted to see it in reverse^^

[Dusk68]

When you put it like this

He seems like a douchebag for leaving the girl at the crash

[KrystelLucas]

lol yeah, or he could be in shock.

[cousyrules]

haha ive always wanted to see this video normally lol, very nice.

[ashhole820]

The crash scene looks so stupid its funny.

[konik243]

Haha, that's right.

[TurkTurkelton123]

lol

[willynillynilly]

Awesome!!
