Coldplay – Yellow

Trivia

“Yellow” adalah lagu terobosan yang melambungkan nama Coldplay secara global. Awalnya, Chris Martin menyanyikan lirik awal lagu ini dengan meniru suara Neil Young. Warna kuning (yellow) dalam lagu ini sering diartikan sebagai simbol harapan, pengabdian, dan kecerahan.

Menariknya, Martin mengungkapkan bahwa lirik “Look at the stars, look how they shine for you” sebenarnya ditulis sebagai bentuk cinta yang platonis—bukan romantis. Lagu ini direkam saat Coldplay sedang berada di Wales dan konon terinspirasi dari buku Yellow Pages yang ada di studio, meskipun Martin juga mengaitkannya dengan perasaan umum dan energi positif.
