    Not an avid listener, but The Scientist (2002, so… old) really sunk in for me when I heard it. His voice gets criticized but I think it fits in perfectly with that song’s subject matter as an exploration of grief and unsuccessfully trying to confront trauma with reason and logic.

    Haven’t listened to anything newer that that, so ignorance is bliss over here!

    If you’ve never seen the video, this is a rare example where it adds really valuable context to the song itself.
