Coldplay - Yellow Lyrics

Coldplay Lyrics

"Yellow"

Look at the stars
Look how they shine for you
And everything you do
Yeah, they were all yellow

I came along
I wrote a song for you
And all the things you do
And it was called "Yellow"

So then I took my turn
Oh what a thing to have done
And it was all yellow

Your skin
Oh yeah your skin and bones
Turn into something beautiful
Do you know
You know I love you so
You know I love you so

I swam across
I jumped across for you
Oh what a thing to do
'Cause you were all yellow

I drew a line
I drew a line for you
Oh what a thing to do
And it was all yellow

Your skin
Oh yeah your skin and bones
Turn into something beautiful
Do you know
For you I'd bleed myself dry
For you I'd bleed myself dry

It's true
Look how they shine for you
Look how they shine for you
Look how they shine for
Look how they shine for you
Look how they shine for you
Look how they shine

Look at the stars
Look how they shine for you
And all the things that you do

The song was recorded in March 2000 and released in June that year as the single from Coldplay's debut album, "Parachutes".

Although the color yellow can have negative implications, according to lead singer Chris Martin, "It was used simply because that word sounded nice, it just seemed to fit, no other reason. None of the other colors would have sounded right really!"

"The song is about devotion. About doing something for someone and being pleased about it." - Chris Martin.

The music video was filmed on the beach of Studland Bay (Dorset, England). As it was shot at 50 fps, to achieve the slow-motion, Chris Martin had to sing the song at double speed so that the audio and video would be in sync.

"Yellow" received two Grammy nominations and reached #4 in the UK Singles Chart, marking Coldplay's first top-five hit in the UK. The song has since been covered by various artists worldwide, and remains one of the band's most popular songs.
