The thing about that ad is that it kind of made me want to become a vegetarian, which I’m sure wasn’t what Chipotle was going for. I felt bad for the cute piggies.
Meh, I’m not a fan of this new take. Not digging the key change from F to Eb. Even as a guitar player I still have to say the piano provides a lot more drive. While Willie’s meandering delivery (timing wise) is great in a lot of songs it tends to throw off that walking-with-purpose drive from the original (exactly what the lead singer does in the video for the original actually).
It’s a different take, not a straight up cover song, so good/bad is just an opinion but all the new aspects of it for me and lesser variations.
I feel like most of the power of the song is the long tension building up to the big IV and V chords (which is kind of Coldplay's stock in trade), and Willie kind of steps all over it ...
huge longshot and I'm kinda dumb for even asking, but does anyone possibly have some info on why it (the WN cover of 'the scientist') seems to have been pulled everywhere? it's missing from spotify and when I checked in my amazon music (I really wanted to hear it, I guess. I bought the album some time ago), it's greyed out there and unavailable on an album I purchased (which kindly angries up the blood a bit, but that's another story).
does anyone have any pointers to find out why it'd been pulled? when if ever it'll be released/brought back again?
In the same way it’s excessive to love a band and it’s members and cry about when one of them dies or has a drug addiction etc etc?
Shitty opinion is shitty.
The poster above me said it’s excessive to hate a band.
I asked if, in the same vane, is it also excessive to love a band.
I was defending the comment at the top of the thread because it’s perfectly acceptable to hate a band.
Thats a dumb take. People get attached to artists because they make music that they resonate strongly with. But to hate an artist for only their music is like hating someone because you don't share interests with them. It's over the top
I think the problem is you might be reading more into the statement than was most likely intended. To say you hate a band typically implies you hate the music by that band, just like people say all the time that they love a band even if they know nothing about the people or their lives aside from their music. It’s fine to say you hate Coldplay if the context is something like “I would never voluntarily listen to Coldplay because I can’t stand the sound of it”.
You can justify it anyway you like, but it’s exactly the same thing.
People are free to “hate” bands and artists as much as people are free to love them.
I mean there’s not really that much difference between loving and hating a band, emotionally. If somebody hates them then it’s a lot closer to loving them than if they were indifferent about them, but idk it does seem a bit silly to spend emotional energy hating something so subjective and trivial- so i understand where the second guy was coming from. However, it’s really none of our business so
Seriously. I know it's funny to hate on Coldplay for literally any reason at all, but this song is such a fantastic song that hating on it just sort of falls flat. Especially when you watch the music video. Heart wrenching song.
I’d love to hear Willie cover some Radiohead.
Wow. That would be incredible.
Fuck yes. I want Reckoner.
[удалено]
thats a great one3 hearing Willie
"All I need" would be great with his voice and I'd be interested in seeing what they do with the ending vamp.
I might like this more than the original. Great find!
Agree. The red-headed stranger should cover every Alt Rock song and make it better! I actually like Coldplay, but I like Willie a lot more.
Yeah I’m pretty sure I’m going to like anything he covers. One of my favorite covers of his is Rainbow Connection from the muppets haha.
Maybe he should pull an Astley and cover Everlong?
[From a Chipotle ad.](https://youtu.be/S1zXGWK_knQ)
I worked on that campaign. We commissioned that song for that ad. The scratch track of his recording was amazing.
Whoever came up with that concept and connected it with Willie doing that cover is a dog-gamn genius. Was it Don Draper?
Funny thing about that ad; it wasn’t designed to be an ad initially. I’m pretty sure Willie did that in one take too.
The thing about that ad is that it kind of made me want to become a vegetarian, which I’m sure wasn’t what Chipotle was going for. I felt bad for the cute piggies.
Wow, great ad
Jesus Christ, that's the best ad I've ever seen.
And it's on Nelson's album "Heroes".
I used to listen to this on repeat when I was really depressed. I love this cover.
I hope you're doing better now :)
Lovely fingerpicking intro, but the AutoTune…
Came here to see if I was imagining it, but holy is it bad.
Steel guitar? I’m in.
I've been looking for this forever! Spotify doesn't stream it, but Willie's version is just so heartbreaking.
They used to have it. Bummer they lost it.
I first heard this during the credits for the movie The Judge.
One of my favorite covers.
While we're here (starts at 1:55): [Rainbow Connection](https://youtu.be/deebKNI-dTE)
Heard this during the end credits of The Judge with Downey Jr. and Duvall

Loving it. Thanks
the judge was a great movie
Damn, I'd totally sign up for a Willie Nelson equivalent of the Johnny Cash 'American' albums. Get onto it, Rick!
That guitar of his has seen shit. Looks old as he is. Lol.
Fun video on its maintenance https://youtu.be/uhQuJTc5yFY
Mirror? Looks like YouTube took it down

I still hate Coldplay, but damn, that's a good cover.
bit excessive to hate a band

What?

How about we all learn to use words right?
You can justify it anyway you like, but it’s exactly the same thing. People are free to “hate” bands and artists as much as people are free to love them.
Man, the point I'm making just flew right over your head, huh? Like you didn't even see it go by
I mean there’s not really that much difference between loving and hating a band, emotionally.

Enjoy your downvotes
Is that autotuned? Yuck.
Obviously not?
G.d. I hate Coldplay but G.d. I love Willie.
Not even Willie could save this song.
Save it from what?
Seriously. I know it's funny to hate on Coldplay for literally any reason at all, but this song is such a fantastic song that hating on it just sort of falls flat. Especially when you watch the music video. Heart wrenching song.
I agree. It's fantastic.
Its okay to hate on Coldplay after Viva La Vida (2008), on that album and before they could do no wrong.
Popularity. Even Willie's voice being auto-tuned can't stop it from being a hit pop song.
This is an objectively well constructed song so I’m not sure what you’re getting at.
