Actually, is this the first acapella song? No matter, it's a fun one.
(ed. note, we just had one a couple of days ago. were you hit in the head?)
In 2002, Coldplay released "A Rush of Blood to the Head," a good sophomore effort. The Scientist was one of the breakout hits of the album, leading many soloists and groups to cover it. Why not? It's a great song, with nice layers, and fun harmonies.
So here, we have a great Collegiate Acapella group: The MIT Logarhythms performing their version of the song. I wonder if YouTube will let me embed this?
OK, anyway, it's times like this that get you listening to new groups, or re-listening to the originals. In any case, enjoy. I have a feeling this week is going to speed up, and quickly.
