VIDEO: Willie Nelson Covers Coldplay For An Animated Film About Farming
Willie Nelson performs a hauntingly beautiful cover of Coldplay's "The Scientist" as the soundtrack to an equally stunning animated short. The video describes the tale as "the life of a farmer as he slowly turns his family farm into an industrial animal factory before seeing the errors of his ways and opting for a more sustainable future."
Willie Nelson performs a hauntingly beautiful cover of Coldplay’s “The Scientist” as the soundtrack to an equally stunning animated short. The video, put out by Chipotle restaurants, describes the tale as “the life of a farmer as he slowly turns his family farm into an industrial animal factory before seeing the errors of his ways and opting for a more sustainable future. Both the film and the soundtrack were commissioned by Chipotle to emphasize the importance of developing a sustainable food system.”
That’s a mouthful, yes, but the music alone is reason enough to press play. And sure, it’s ultimately an ad for Chipotle, but the message of the video is an important one. Take a look at “Back To The Start.”
