The title track of Coldplay's second album, "A Rush of Blood to the Head" arrived in 2002 on the record they made once Parachutes and "Yellow" had carried them around the globe. Chris Martin sings lead and plays acoustic guitar and piano, Jonny Buckland is on electric guitar, Guy Berryman on bass, and Will Champion drums, adds percussion and sings backing vocals; all four share the writing credit.
The band produced it with Ken Nelson, who recorded and engineered it, with Rik Simpson and Mark Phythian helping out, and the mix was split among Coldplay, Nelson, Phythian and Danton Supple. Across the album they leaned harder on electric guitar and piano than they had on Parachutes.
